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,
Can somebody help me understand something? Ok they take battlefront 3 away from free radical cause they want to save money and then give it to rebellion and rebellion just puts some of the content into elite squadron? And then L.A. lets slant 6 develop battlefront online and then they pull the plug on them? All of this development and what do they have to show for it? They cant even finish Battlefront online?
Now I could be wrong but what happened with LA and Free Radical was that Free Radical went Bankrupt and that made LA pull it from them and I don’t know if this is true but IMO they did not give it to Rebellion to finish but they(Rebellion) were working on SWB3 for the PSP but when SWB3 was pulled from Free Radical they could not call it SWB3 so they called it Elite Squadron and then when it comes to Battlefront online and slant 6 for what ever reason slant 6 could not come up with what LA wanted and then LA pulled the plug on that and now I think that if SWB3 is being made it is being made by LA in house.
If I am wrong about anything I just said and I could be tell me because I would like to know too.
Lets be realistic guys. There will be no SWBF3 at least until the next gen game consoles come out… If that.
I know everything. My friends, I was one of the earliest here. I had hope when people had none. Now, with the Kinect Star Wars, and all those new games, I have no hope. Many of people have left, and I guess I am going with them. My friends, my good friends, Evan, Kal, and a bunch of others, my friends. There shall be 2 games. Such as the sith.
Two there must be; no more, no less.
One to embody the power, the other to crave it.
We will always love Battlefront, and I wish they would make more. I am almost in tears. Everyone, I want to know that I wish I could say I have hope, but I don’t. I will always play Battlefront, for it is awesome. LucasArts will keep on making games for the Wii U and Kinect. I am sorry to everyone, I wish that I could stay, but there is not much more that will happen. Maybe, one day, when I am browsing through the isles of GameStop or another store, I may see Battlefront 3, and I will smile and think of these great times. Guys, I will miss you, and I will always play Battlefront 1 & 2.
Goodbye.
WIR out. Thanks.
i was having a look on Lucas arts when i saw they were hiring so i had a look they had a lot of game creation job also why would spark affiliate themselves with lucas arts if they were not co-operating on something so I went deeper into spark unlimited till i hit a brick wall that required a non-disclosure agreement, so whats so secret what other high profile jobs could spark do then i noticed the genre of the second project horror, not really star wars then, but red harvest, death troopers ? i thought i was trying to hard to tie up all the lose ends, but in the end thats all it is speculation.
I have called twice so far to Lucas arts. So far all I got is “no comment”. But I am sure they will be tired of this after a few months..LOL
I called slant 6 a couple of days ago to ask if they were going to finish swbattefront online and they said they were not ready to comment at this time.
Well theres always May 4th to see some good news.
I will keep fighting on.

@cis 8088 you are right all of the recent excitement and all of these different video game sites speculating on whether or not the game was Battlefront 3 did NOT go unnoticed by L.A. However it just told them what they already know. They know we want this game but right now they dont care. For right now they are going by thier winning formula which is: Make cheap games put the starwars or whatever name on it and enough kids will by it no matter how bad of ratings it gets . And that is how it is gonna be for the duration of this current generation. Hopefully this will end when the next gen consoles come out. I hope that at some point Tuggie and the people who run this site organize a boycott .
There is a reason that the battlefront online loading screens got leaked on that raccoon city disc. Slant 6 is still an existing company that would be violating a nda with that leak. Something is up and I think I know what it is. They are going to finish battlefront online. I must admit I have mixed feelings about slant 6 doing it but Lucas Arts was behind that leak and they are leading us up to an anouncement at E3. If I am wrong then we start talkin boycott.
@mark m dont waste your time calling spark, call Lucas Arts and let them know why you are frustrated, thats what I did.
There are still a lot of good mods for SWBFII if that’s any consolation, and maybe if it is in production Lucasarts have decided to go with a top studio like Crytek or the like which would be more appealing for fans of the series.
