Hey Battlefrontians, some interesting tidbits for you and a great find by one of our forum members RogueStarkiller.
From RogueStarkiller:
This week Spark is in San Francisco for the GDC(Game Developer’s Conference). Last night Spark went out to dinner with their publisher and tweeted this:
For those that may not know, Twitter geotags you to a general area where your tweet came from as seen in the photo above. Their tweet came from an area of San Francisco called Cow Hollow. Now, this doesn’t pinpoint a restaurant or a specific place, but it does put them in a small geographic area.
What’s interesting is what is located within 3 minutes driving distance from the heart of Cow Hollow:
That’s right, LucasFilm. LucasArts is also on this campus.
So I thought, well, maybe their publisher just decided to have dinner with them and they coincidentally went there…except that it’s on the other side of town from the GDC and several other locations Spark mentioned they had been.
Spark tweeted:
Spark Unlimited @sparkunlimited
The W is the hotel bar to meet up and drink up. It is rough sometimes doing business. 
Spark Unlimited @sparkunlimited
Dinner is over. Heading to the Infusion Lounge now.
The Infusion Lounge, The W Hotel, and the Moscone Convention Center(where GDC is being held) are all within 2 blocks of each other and a 20 minute drive away from LucasArts and where they had dinner. This of course is not definitive proof that Spark Unlimited had dinner with LucasArts. However, when companies attend out of town conventions, they tend to stay very close to the hotel or the convention location and away from areas that may only be familiar to someone that might live and work in the city.
***UPDATE***:
So from the info above, Spark went to dinner with their publisher(whomever it may be) from the restaurant within 3 mins. driving distance of LucasArts to the Infusion Lounge across town after dinner.
Guess what?
LucasArts hosted their GDC party at the Infusion Lounge that night.
Hats off to RogueStarKiller for some great work. While this doesn’t necessarly prove that Spark was having some great chow with the folks from LucasArts, it does provide some great room for speculation!
Lets hear some thoughts!
Another huge thanks to RogueStarkiller!!
Spark Unlimited has Dinner with their Publisher... LucasArts??,
Now I’m really excited for e3, I mean before I was looking forward to it but now with both halo 4 and a new star wars game. I just can’t wait
I dont think you will have to wait till e3 but possibly . I think the announcement is coming in april . I would not even be surprised to see some kinda teasers put out there by either spark or the publisher them selves being L.A.
I dont think you will have to wait untill e3 either to get the announcement. However the announcement wont be for a Starwars Battlefront game I am sad to say, from what I was told that is not the game that Spark is working on. You are not going to see a battlefront game untill the next gen consoles are out. It may even be a couple of years after that actually. If you guys really want this game you will have to organize a boycott for the purpose of informing Lucas Arts that you are currently interested in no other games that they have to put out other than a new Starwars Battlefront game. I have been informed by a reliable source and it sounds to me that what ever is going on with the series has most likely been put on the back burner.
I still have faith in Spark and Lucas Arts working on Battlefront 3! Always!

Uh-huh. And this reliable source would be what may i ask? Spark said that revealing the publisher would reveal the game… what other publisher could it be than LA? It is almost certain its a SW game(I mean, come on). What other game would be better to make than BF3? I actually don’t care if its not BF3, as long as it’s a SW game. And spark
did say they were working on “a 3rd Person Action/Adventure sequel in a high-profile science fiction franchise” and “a bold new take on 3rd Person Action/Horror”. Provide proof for your theory please. Look forward to it. Later dude. Btw, you ever read SW books?
Dont want to get any one fired from a job or prevent someone from getting one in the future but it is someone I made freinds with when I was in college who I stayed in touch with over the years. He has worked on video games before and that is all i can tell you. He said last he knew Lucas Arts was gonna have a game made at spark but he said he was almost positive it was not a battlefront game and said the game will not be out tlll the next gen consoles are out if anything at all. I was told this back in January when I called him. I became motivated to call him and ask him if he knew anything when the game was not announced in the febuary issue of game informer. He sounded quite sure that the series had been put on the back burner. That is just what I have been told I have not spoken to him since january. I am not trying to pull anyones chain, I want this game just as bad as anyone on here ok. That is why I keep tying to get people to realize we may have to start a boycott. I do believe Lucas Arts is the publisher, but for me not any starwars game will do. I dont like anything else I have ever played from Lucas Arts and no I never read one starwars book.
I bet lucasarts is swearing right now because they cannot even eat dinner with their ddeveloper withiut us disecing it and figuring it out.

I looked on the spark unlimited website; in the project page and found they were using the ‘unreal engine’ system, which was used by epic studio in the making of the gears trilogy.
I know that Lucas Arts was going to use the same engine epic studio used to make gears of war, so it kinda adds up to me.
@philipman no because it has to be a sequel and star wars and star trek are diffrent stories
I was soo dead-serious man! Ofc it’s not a star trek battlefront game…
Do star trek and star wars have different stories?!?!?!? Man that shatters my entire universe!
Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit are also different stories, maybe its the Hobbit Battlefront?
@KAl & PHILIPIMAN: hobbit battlefront
I ABSOLUTE;Y ROFLMHO!!!!!!! YOU ARE JK RIGHT?!?! HOBBIT BATTLEFRONT?! NO WAY THATS RIDICULOUS!!! STAR TREK BATTLEFRONT EVEN MORE SO!
Yes we were kidding obviously…! >.< XD But I'm pretty sure it's starship-troopers battlefront that lucasarts is developing and Spark Unlimited is producing! Pretty sure that Crytek is developing it too!! All the evidence points to it! And I'm not kidding because kidding is for trollers! Trolling I ARE NOTZ!
I know what game they’re doing; it’s star trek battlefront! Somehow lucasarts has aquired the licenses for star trek games and now they’re makein a startrek battlefront game… Or maybe not… XD maybe they’re makeing a monkey Island battlefront game with sci fi elements? The publisher just has to be lucasarts anyways!
Alot does point to the publisher being Lucas Arts, but if the game is not Battlefront 3 or Battlefront online then it does not matter cause I am not buying it.
With all of the previous evidence that this is Battlefront 3, and now this, I’m going to be pre-ordering this game before you know it.
How can you preorder it before its announced? What website do you go to?
You can’t. I’m just saying that this is obviously Battlefront 3 and once it is announced I will pre-order it.
Do not listen to the impersonating troll. I am the real one- I’ve been posting since a little before the “BTLLFRONT” thing, and I was the one that submitted it. This guy is either
1. Pretending to be me
or
2. Unaware of my already-chosen name. Either way, could he please change his name? True Kal Skirata now has Triforce.

Yes spark unlimited… i have you now!
It’s not Battlefront 3. I’ve followed this website excitedly for eons now and I think I finally have something worth saying. The creators of Socom were working on a Battlefront game that was scrapped because they couldn’t release it in time for 2010. With all this evidence or would-be proof that is circling around Spark, I have concluded that if it is actually our precious, drool inducing Battlefront on the cards, it is not Battlefront 3, but Battlefront Online!
I already mentioned this a while ago, but…. Spark’s job profiles seem to me that the game will definitely have a single-player mode, mostly because their multiplayer-based jobs seem to have less work on them.
This was tweeted by Spark about an hour ago:
“Spark Unlimited @sparkunlimited
@juann_Daa The publisher has a complete marketing plan from reveal to release. It’ll be revealed in a month with at least 30 days”
So we should know what they’re up to within a months time give or take. Personally, this is solid evidence to me that Spark and LA could be partnering, but it doesn’t prove to me that they’re making BF3. It could be another SW game but like they say, we’ll know in about a month or so.
Sorry to busrts your bubble, but it says that it’ll happen in a month WITH AT LEAST 30 days.That doesn’t mean IN 30 days, it means that it could be announced any month but february. This dissapointed me too.
Yeah I totally misread that one. Got caught up in the hype I guess. Oh well, but like I said it probably is a SW game, I’m just not sure if it’s BF3
