Hey Battlefrontians.. I know that it has been awhile since my last post, but there just hasn’t been a whole lot worth while to report on.
The Video Game Awards have come and gone once again… and again, we are disappointed that no news for Battlefront 3 has been released or hinted upon. A few new developments from Spark Unlimited have been posted including a recent announcement that states the following:
We are in FULL PRODUCTION of a high-profile, popular game property for a major publishing partner. With the public disclosure expected sometime in 2012, we are looking for innovative and creative professionals to bring to life a Triple-A game for an awaiting, highly critical audience. Employing agile techniques (SCRUM) we are developing this product utilizing our experiences with the Unreal engine.
This is, of course what we hope will be announced as Battlefront 3!.. and the description seems to match up with the credentials that Battlefront 3 would need. I wonder when “sometime in 2012″ will be…. ugh..
As it turns out as well, Spark is currently working on two unannounced projects. The other, which pre-production started in November states:
We started PRE-PRODUCTION in November 2011 to develop a Triple-A Combat Adventure for a world-wide publisher. We are looking for innovative professionals to be members of a core creative team to bring to the console and PC markets the vision of an accomplished game director.
Other than that, there hasn’t been a any new developments.. at least that I’ve heard of..
If any of my fellow Battlefrontian have any news or tidbits, feel free to email them to me at admin@battlefront3.net.
Lets hear your thoughts!! Don’t forget you can have some great discussions with us at the BF3.net forums located here!
Spark Unlimited - Public Disclosure Expected Sometime in 2012,
Don’t forgot guys that Star Wars Celebration 6 will be happening in 2012, so an official announcement of Battlefront 3 is likely to take place there.
My guess is E3
Yeah me too I’ll for that but it could be nice to see that announcement at the star wars celebration
BATTLEFRONT 3 WILL BE BACK LETS KEEP UP HOPE
I’m begging for CES… its much closer haha. Too bad lucasarts have never had much of a presence there. I’m guessing a major tease on star wars day and a full reveal in e3.
I honestly don’t think this is Battlefront three. I think more likely it’s a Jedi Knight game or more likely Republic Commando 2 (seeing as Republic Commando did use the Unreal Engine)seeing as they’ve hired Sean Williams from Force Unleashed as a Writer…
A FPS is already in development in LucasArts house and as far as I know LucasArts has only two real shooter SW games and that are Battlefront and Republic commando. In addition, Jedi knight games does not count, because the main battle is more fixed on lightsabers fights. It’s more like a swordsfighting game but not a shooter. So forget that. The only game which left is Battlefront 3
Or left a new Battlefront without a three? Take a look at Transformers 2 and the third movie. The third movie does not have a three so can be that we will see Battlefront “with a title”. But I hope more that it is a three, because I’ve waited so long on a Battlefront with a three. xD
Furthermore the second game of Spark can’t be a Star Wars game, because Spark Unlimited already said this:
George Casner III

@sparkunlimited does the second unannounced project relate to the first unannounced project at all?

@G_Cas_Three We’re looking for innovative professionals to bring to the console/PC markets a bold new take on 3rd Person Action/Horror genre

See? John mentioned horror genre so SW game falls out.
Only the first one can be and I’m sure it is one.
Honestly, I think the Older Katarn Games would count as FPS (Dark Forces and Jedi Knight) Although Jedi Knight II Involves Lightsaber Combat, For a Challenge, use The Lightsabers for Enemy Jedi ONLY.
Just saying.
There are screenshots of a Dark Obi-Wan & Yoda, though they were made by Free Radical and I doubt they will use them.
It is a 3rd person shooter folks
Actually, you were able to toggle from first/third person. I liked the View option, especially if you were into CoD and MoH.
its battlefront 3 i know its i have gut feeling
I really hope this game comes out on 2012. I haven’t given up HOPE yet ! There is always HOPE!
True that. Even if it is not Battlefront 3, we will always play Battlefront 1&2.
A New Hope
Help Us Obi Wan!!!
looking forward to it . I really hope that it comes out next year .I haven’t yet given up HOPE! There is always HOPE.
Star Wars Battlefront 3!
I reckon battlefront will be annouced at E3. that is if spark really is developing it
I didn’t get a chance to watch the VGAs but I was pretty sure that Battlefront 3 wouldn’t be announced anyway, because I saw that the game wouldn’t be publicly “disclosed” until sometime in 2012 on Sparks website. I do hope though that Spark does a great job, and I can’t wait for it to come out so that I can play it!
On the other hand, the next Command & Conquer game was announced. AND IT’LL RULE!!!
Sadly we wont get it until 2013, but its worth waiting for!
hopefully sometime is soon
I really hope this is SWBF3. I cannot wait for the announcement. I have been looking forward to the game for so long. The thing that I felt was missing from SWBF2 was more levels. I wished instant action had some maps from SWBF1. I am looking forward to the game and I hope the studio does an AMAZING job producing it.
Hey, if you are looking for some more maps for BF2, you can head over to http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/ for free to download maps made by other Battlefront fans. I think that the BF2 conversion mod from there adds recreations of a few maps from the original Battlefront, and a whole new era with sides for the Sith and Republic from the Kotor games. Also, any maps from Maveritchell are pretty fun, and most of the maps are really easy to install. It all makes waiting for BF3 a lot easier.
I like Coruscant Order 66 (complete with dark jawas vs stormtroopers), and battlefront extreme looks fun..
On a side note, I hope spark adds really deep customization, but without losing cl-based gameplay. Maybe a clic mode, and a new mode where you customize the weapons and armor of the cles
I don’t want it to be like Renegade squadron where you just change 1 character.
Plus Spy Mode, party mode, and maybe a crazy Sarlacc vs Rancor vs Krayt dragon mode
Maybe they could make the customization similar to Battlefield 3, with basic weapon customization from the main-menu and in-game as well as minor character customization.
Thats what i’m looking for. Something close to BF3. Keep the cles, able to unlock different weapons for that cl, cl perks, different styles of armor, the works. One big thing i want is melee takedowns like pistol whipping or gun butting since they don’t carry knives and a laser knife would be a bit corny
