So, a few things to have a look at in this post my fellow, but patient Battlefrontians. Yesterday, as we all know was April fools day.. yay! wherein, a couple of pranks trickled in, including a posting by Wookiepedia that “Battlefront 3 to be released in winter 2012″, which wasn’t that humorous in my opinion.

The big one that no can verify if it is a prank or now is, a user of BetaGames.org has released some images that he claims he found from a hidden folder on the disc of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.. How or why Star Wars/Battlefront ended up on a copy of Resident Evil is very skeptical, and given that they were released on April Fools day is almost too much of a coincidence for me.

If anything this could have been the previously scrapped Battlefront Online that Slant Six Games was working on.

Have a look for yourselves:

So what do you think? Real or hoax?

    These seem real to me, and maybe Luke was a concept art. These seem too amazing to be made for a hoax, if these are fake they are for April Fools. I’d say these came either from a later time of the Free Radical development or possibly Battlefront Online.

      There are plenty of rumors on who has taken a stab at BF3. With the LP3 announcement, Spark should not be included.

      spark unlimited tweeted this.

      So BF3 is not being developed by them.

      sad, sad day.

        i disagree i think that they are making BF3 because the evidence points to it.

    They’re most likely not from a “Battlefront” game as we know it but “Battlefront: Online”.

    I’d say if anything had to be fake it’d be the Luke textures. The concept art on the loading screens look convincing, and quite amazing.

    I dunno, it’s seems fishy in my book, they’re probably some forgotten loading screen of a forgotten game, idk Luke in his orange flight suit is staring down Darth Vader in some hanger, kinda strange!!! DE out….

    I think they could be legit. Here’s the thing. If they are pics from and scrapped battlefront, then they would be from the one that came closest to development, which was free radicals. Now if they were from free radicals, we would have most likely seen them ages ago, not now. But that’s just my take on it. What throws everything up in the air is the fact that they were released April fools day. Why not release em before or after to avoid doubt? And why isn’t the super secretive lucasarts or spark cracking down on them? Do they need to?

    Eh, yeah I guess I’d never heard of a scrapped Battlefront online till just now, but I’d put my money on that. Those texture maps (for Hoth Luke?) look to me like they’re a little bit old to be part of a modern development. I’m no expert but I think games these days would probably use higher-res textures with better detail. Still, they’re good enough I don’t think some guy drew them up in his basement or anything.
    Just my 2ยข.

    I can’t imagine someone would go to the trouble of making those images just for a hoax.

    I’d think that at the very least, those images are legit, if not the source.

    This was so out of left field, I think its legit. These look pretty good, but alas Battlefront Online is no longer among the living. These make me want Battlefront 3 even more now.

      They look battlefront to me. However battlefront online is among the living just in a different form. I Believe that they are going to use some or all of the battlefront online content in the battlefront that is being made at Spark. This is no accident that these pictures got leaked!! They are leading us up to the announcement! I told you guys a couple of weeks ago to look for some kinda teaser or something the 1st week of april and what do we have? Alki what do you have to say now?
