Wow.. now this is a big kick below the belt.. Spark Unlimited officially announced today that they are not making Star Wars: Battlefront 3, which comes to a huge surprise to a lot of Battlefront 3 fans as well as myself.. everything we have learned and speculated on was just coincidence.
It turns out that Lost Planet 3 is Spark’s unannounced project. To be honest, I never even heard of Lost Planet 3, until now.
Spark went ahead and tweeted this earlier:
“feel sorry for bf3 fans. Maybe LA’s silence is a good thing.”
Very, very, very disappointing day today.
On the other hand, LucasArts has been slated to announce two new games at this years E3.
E3 is scheduled for June 5-7, 2012 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Well Battlefrontians, what are your thoughts?
Spark Unlimited Announces they are not Making Battlefront 3,
Oh, I’m afraid your friends will come to find a battlefront that is not being made. And now my young battlefront fan… You will cry. I was actually excited with all that was happening. Almost got passionately hopeful but alas, it seems we will have to stick to our battlefront ones amd two. Tis not so bad. At least we know no one had the chance to ruin a great thing. Failed we have… Into exile we must go *walks into attic to play battlefront 2 on le pc*
For that quote, you sir win teh internetz for the day!
For all of us…copy and paste the link below.

LucasArts has failed us.
It is a sad day for us all. Nay, a traumatic, hope-crushing day. But all is not lost-maybe one day we may come out of “exile” like the Sith Empire.
Fans: LA, there is still battlefront 3 in you. we can sense it.
LA: No. Now I will show you Kinect Star Wars, and the true power of bad games.
Fans: Then our Battlefront3 is truly dead.
Maybe it is for the best. Remember Darth Bane:
Two there must be; no more, no less.
One to embody the power, the other to crave it.
Therefore, only two Battlefronts shall there be, evermore. Go. Find another game. Play some Metroid, some Zelda, some Republic Commando, some Portal. Play Battlefronts 1 and 2, so we may never forget. And we will never forget.
Kal Skirata out.
May the Force be with you all.
told you it would never happen there all a bunch of wankers mate. Just play other stuff and boycott all lucas arts games, their all shit now made for babies and window lickers. GTA5 out this year and black ops 2…..what you need is COD star wars edition now that would be good.
If call of duty ever came out with a starwars edition i’d just commit suicide. How dare you insult starwars like that by trying to cross breed it with some shitty video game thats just a remake of its former self every year
Haha I like how people like you think its such a bad game. My friend, sales and statistics show otherwise. Within 24 hours of going on sale, MW3 sold 6.5 million copies in the U.S. and UK alone and grossed $400 million, making it the biggest entertainment launch of all time. It also was the best-selling game in 2011. So rethink committing suicide because a Star Wars call of duty would be the best-selling game I could think of, and I know for a fact that you would play it, just like we all would.
Selling well and being a quality game are two very different things and in the case of COD are inversely proportional.
Would you stop that? COD is terrible, and change your name, can you not see its taken?
Battlefront 1 + Battlefront 2 > All the COD games combined.
Lucasarts needs to have its own agenda, and come back. They do not need to piggyback on the crappy fame of someone else’s overrated franchise.
Why in the hell does every pre-pubescent retard in this world think that the sales numbers of a game, or a movie, is equal to the quality of said game or movie? That’s simply not true at all. When something sells well out of the gate, it’s usually due to a pre-existing popularity built upon previous titles. COD games in particular are guaranteed to be big sellers, especially to the younger crowd with short attention spans who only care about the mindless multiplayer. Sadly, Infinity Ward abandoned the quality of the single player story after COD 4. The Modern Warfare 2 and 3 games are pure garbage.
COD is only a best seller because it’s mainstream. It’s THE FPS that everyone goes to but i guess fanboys don’t seem to grasp that. COD is the same thing every year except with a few tweeks. There hasn’t been an original COD out since MW1 and WaW. I guess SW COD would be different but it would just suck complete ass with it’s player hosted servers, which means connection before skill, um COD means it’s hacker prone, it’s got dumb ass fake perks like “marathon”( come on what highly trained soldier can’t run for more than 5 seconds?) then you will have people constantly griping “oh watch me get a 25 killstreak and get my death star” no just no. I would not get COD Starwars edition
So by your theory of things being “good”, you’re telling us Britney Spears was good music, and Twilight is actually a good movie solely based on ticket and CD sales?
MW3 undersold black ops by about 3 or 4 percent which isn’t much but proves its on the downfall
I agree, cod is just a remake of itself every year and that’s what’s so pathetic about it. If star wars ever came related to COD then Lucasarts would have truly failed us.
in your opinion, but Lucasarts will never produce a battlefront 3, Mainly because it has no movie to piggy back on or merchandise to sell along with it. In my opinion best just to forget about it all and get a decent game in yer console like COD ,people I find who complain about it as you do hate it because you are so bad at it… Just get some practice inm innit!!!!!!!!!!
I played COD for 2 years. I was not bad however not good. But all of the games are the same with minor differences between each one. All of the games stories are not good at all, the online is the same and gets very repetitive, and the fact that they reuse near enough all of their assets each year so that they can get the new game out in a year just makes the game very poor. If you were a true battlefront fan you would be supporting battlefront and luucasarts and neve giving up hope. I think its a good thing Lucasarts are keeping quiet. For all we know they could have scrapped developers and decided to develop the game with their own technology, without the need of other developers. Lucasarts has been recruting for a while now, for an action and adventure game (battlefront III), and fps (SW republic commando 2) and an RPG (KOTOR III perhaps?).If you have no belief that SWB3 will return then leave this site and never return, because this site is for the belief that battlefront 3 will return, and I think that the people who believe it will return are the only ones welcome here; NOT COD FANBOYS!
I think you are missing the point battlefront 3 will never come out so get over it and move on. And i beleive I was into star wars a long long time ago much before you were born so bollocks COD is the only decent game on the ps3
Which is exactly why I can just go straight into multiplayer and be the best player in a match in any COD after COD2 right?
lets see im pretty sure dead space 2 can beat COD as a better example of a true ps3 game, oh and the thing is, retard, that people bought that many copies of COD BECAUSE ITS EASY TO PLAY; NO SKILL INVOLVED and thats why mainstream entertainment hipster-kids of this generation love it, you see pointing and clicking isnt hard at all…hell its so easy if i gave a 3-5 yr old a controller and gave him maybe an hour or so to figure it out, as long as he puts a bullet in you, he can kill you…same with every other noob in this world who plays it. and YES mw3 was a copy/paste of mw2 which was a copy/paste of COD4…And SWBF2 and 1 were the best selling SW games OF ALL TIME TO THIS DAY, even with just two ganes SW still beats the crap out of COD…i dont see you fighting 1000 man armies all under the same roof in Call of Booty, ya fruity bastard..
Exactly like I just said it’s far to easy whenever a new COD comes out my nephews buy it and whine for me to play it with them and whenever I do it’s so easy to just jump straight into multiplayer and play it as if I’ve been playing the game for weeks.
Also this is kinda a pointless argument and is really off topic so we should just ignore this guy.
you sir, are banned from the internet until you turn 12.
Why are you here if you don’t believe battlefront 3 is coming out? If you feel that way just get out, nobody wants you here. COD is basically the same game with new perks every game. The makers of COD already have more than 5 games planned for future release which just shows how they are focused on the money not quality. Finally, COD is the only decent game? Your an idiot who just sticks to 1 game. There’s Skyrim, Batman Arkham City, Battlefield 3, etc.
Typical COD fanboy response. You’re probably one of those fags that only play COD all day long and never stop. Have you ever played SWBF or SWBFii? Have you played them online? Takes way more skill to play that online than COD. Only decent game on PS3? Idts. There are thousands of great games for PS3 but your narrowminded COD fanboy mindset wont allow you see past COD so enjoy your shitty repetitive game while i go play a nice variety of good games
bobafetish, this is not a personal attack, but COD is simply an overrated, albeit graphically intense, casual game that is overpriced and stupid. The best games are fun and inventive.
COD is the console version of Angry Birds.
Look at Skyward Sword, look at Metroid Prime 3. Both are Wii games. WII GAMES! and wrap your head around this: THEY ARE BETTER THAN COD!!!
Look at IGN reviews- the re-review of Ocarina of Time (originally for N64) against MW3:
OOT: 10 9 9 10 10 for the five categories
MW3: 8.5 8.5 8 9 9.5 for the same categories
I find it awesome that a NINTENDO 64 game got .5 better GRAPHICS rating than COD!!!
lmao, all call of duty games suck, its aimed at multiplayer. The only reason COD is so popular is because idots like you buy into that multi-player crap. All it takes is a nice big ass solar storm to OHKO the world of internet and that popularity will drop like a rock
bobafetish says..people I find who complain about it as you do hate it because you are so bad at it… Just get some practice inm innit!!!!!!!!!! Hhmm Good point but you dont know me at all, do you use your brains sorry to be blunt. Here is a question for you….Would you buy COD if the Internet was dead due to a solar flare or anything else that can kill it. Thats just one reason i hate COD, steam and everything that needs the internet
hey Thomasmul,you know what i would really like. Bethesda and lucasarts get together to create a SWBF hybrid, damn good game that would be…uhhhh im in fantasy land again
I like how you think Darkomega. SWBF hybrid from Lucasarts and Bethesda. Two of my favourite game developers coming together to create a completely awesome game. As Bethesda are the creators of Skyrim (a way better game than COD might I add) I doubt they would mess it up
Yes I played star wars battlefront 2 for years online thanks. and I was very good at it and I agree it was the finest thing since sliced bread and is better that COD, but without swbf3 there is nothing but COD?? Battlefield 3 is ok, Red dead redemption and grand theft auto are good but everything else is pretty poo. For the multiplayer experience cant beat Black ops the treyarch versions are much better than infinity ward/sledgehammer. Any game that doesnt have a multiplayer and is single player to me is just pointless. Unfortunately There will never be a swbf3 I have finally realised that and you all should too. Time to dust off that COD game eh????
Multiplayer isn’t the best god damn thing to a game. Single player games are amazing if you look at the story they tell instead of mindless multiplayer. Don’t get me wrong I love multiplayer, but COD is just so boring. They aren’t aimed to please the player, they’re aimed to make money. They have a whole bunch of new games planned to get our money such as black ops 2,3,4,5, and 6. COD future warfare 1,2,3. COD space warfare 1,2,3. COD was fun and all, then I grew up
Point is, if you don’t believe SWBF3 will ever come out then get the fuck outta here. There is no point in you being here if you aren’t here looking for any new info on SWBF3. Go troll the battlefield 3 forums on how awesome COD is.
Dont get LA, if all they care about is money, SWBF3 would make buckets of the stuff? i reckon some amateurs indie type game devs should make it, and to get round copyright just call it Star whores: Battlemuff
My, that was an extensive arguement.
Let’s keep this clean; we aren’t here to demean others based on their affiliation or “fanboy” status to Call of Duty. After all, aren’t we here because we’re Star Wars fans? If not that, then we share a common interest in video games. Let’s not bully and antagonze someone just because they like COD.
Remember, keep it clean.
A Floor plan from E3 2012 revealed that one of the LucasArts Games is a Wii U MMO (LOL?!) so unfortunately its either the second one, or its not at all
yah they have the vs laser lance and the gunsword. so lost planet does have some swordplay
I actually posted it could be lost planet 3 a while ago jokingly as an example of a game that fits sparks description. I had no idea i was right. I’d have preffered battlefront 3 but lost planets a great game too
With the exception of the plot. The amnesiac, Wayne, from the first Lost Planet did not make the story a memorable one. Even worse, in Lost Planet 2, when the characters didn’t even have names.
However, I’m willing to see if they improve. The combat was actually rather refreshing; nothing quite beats the anchor unique to the Lost Planet series. And the VSs, of course, are another interesting aspect. It seems as though they have giant ones now.
Well if you visit Spark Unlimited’s project page, they now have two unannounced projects. And I’m pretty sure that the new Lost Planet would be the the Third person Action/Horror. Sooooo theoretically the Third Person Action/Adventure could still potentially be BF3.

Sorry my freind, they said “Lost Planet 3″ WAS the Action/Adventure game on their Twitter.
Ugh… well at least they are not making the game then. haha
We started PRE-PRODUCTION in November 2011 to develop a breakout game based on an established console franchise. We are looking for innovative professionals to be members of a core creative team to bring to the console and PC markets a bold new take on 3rd Person Action/Horror genre.
its not swbf3 even though I want to be.
Thank the allspark that they aren’t making it. They made Legendary… and that game is freakin’ garbage.
I don’t know why they kept in the dark for so long that they weren’t making swbf3… they really should’ve just told one fan “no, were not, it’s something else/”
That did come out of Left Field that they were making Lost Planet 3, I mean thought it could be that they were not working on SWBF3 but I did think that at lest they were working with LucasArts…looks like were back to square one
A large part of my soul howled out in pain and died. I’ve lost faith in Lucas Arts entirely. When they saw the fandamonium about Saprk, they should have stepped in and cleared it up right away, instead of letting everyone wish and speculate. I’m expecting some sort of press release or statement form them soon, or else they simply have no respect for their long-time and patient fans.
Just tell us it’s being made. Not even when, who or where, just that we’re being listened to.
Sorry, not how it works. Most Companies don’t issue press releases, or even comment on rumours and speculation at all. Sometimes because they don’t want to be quoted on saying something doesn’t exist when it actually does.
It could very much be in Development at another Studio right now. Issuing a Press Release citing its in the works would mean us hunting up and down the Internet to find it and spamming them on Twitter for information like we’ve been doing with Spark Unlimited when they could very easily simply be working on it internally, like Force Unleashed, in which case we’d end up stalking a random Studio which has nothing to do with the project, again).
And while yes, they could be kind enough to reveal they’re working on it internally, that’s not how this industry works, its not like Hollywood where you know a Movie has been Green-Lit even before the Script is finished.
LucasArts is all for making money, someone is working on it, its like TFUIII. It’ll get here. Look at KotOR. KotORIII didn’t happen in the end, but we did get SW:tOR.
Besides, while I hope they do an awesome job with Lost Planet 3 (not like they can do a lot worse than LP2 anyway), Spark Unlimited doesn’t exactly have a 90%+ Record with Critics. Personally rather glad another Studio (hopefully one with a better Track Record) is handling SWBF3.
To sad, bud on the other hand, also a good thing, the games Spark Unlimited made in the past did no good at all, scored below a 6 out of 10 rating with their games… So i’m happy. Hopefully Lucas Arts is busy with it.
They have 2 projects though. Which one are they refering to? 1 or 2?
sad to say they were referring to the 1st, the action-adventure one.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
back to wanting for e3 again,huh?,why do i feel dejavu
I still don’t see where ‘Sword Play’ comes into Lost Planet 3 which was on their site describing the unannounced game
How is it known that LA are announcing two new games at E3?(not that i am doubting you)
i was looking at Lost Planet 3 Screens shots at Gameinformer and there are two pics that have “sword play” in it so there is that…
here is the link:
http://www.gameinformer.com/games/lost_planet_3/b/xbox360/archive/2012/04/10/chill-out-with-these-lost-planet-3-screens.aspx
Wait a second. Here’s what the article in your link said:
“Capcom’s big announcement today was development of Lost Planet 3 by Spark Unlimited. Take a look at some of the bugs you’ll be killing this time. The game is being developed using Unreal Engine 3.”
LucasArts was recently licensed to use Unreal Engine 3. Could they be developing you-know-what right now?
I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up (we’ve had enough of that already) but it does have me curious.
