This is insane.. huge props to Borman18 for all the great footage and information he has been providing to us over the last week. Today he has posted some great footage of the Training Level and 1st mission from Free Radical’s alpha build of Star Wars: Battlefront 3 and to be honest, it looks pretty damn good. It’s hard to beleive that this game sunk when it was so far along.
This game to me, looks like it could have done quite well as the first mission looks awesome!
The video’s speak for themselves so check them out below!



The story looks very similar to elite squadron. I think the free radical’s battlefront 3 was tore apart and restructured for the psp. Kind of a sad death for a game. But at least we know that the game wasn’t completely scraped and that rebellion finished it.
That’s what I was thinking, with the whole X2 X1 thing, though I’ve never played elite squadron before. Though to be honest I always thought the whole “force-sensitive clone” story sounded really dumb, so I guess I’m not so sad that this thing got canned anymore.
Yep. This, Battlefrontians, is what Elite Squadron was gonna be. Look at the missions: Tattoine, Coruscant, then Cato Nemoidia.
The EXACT SAME level sequence as Elite.
I hope Spark’s game is more true to the series.
2 clone wars-era force-sensitive clones- with Rahm Kota knowing about them
Years later, TFU2- Rahm Kota says, “A Jedi has never been cloned before.”
*shudders*
Actually Rebellion’s Elite Squadron was a tie in on the portable systems so that they could release a Battlefront game on all platforms simultaneously. So the story that shipped on Elite Squadron was the story to BF3 although i’l bet they put some minor changes on it when they could.
The new (well, old) footage of BF3 is really cool, but it doesn’t have the same feel of BF 1 and 2. For example, the picture of the clone commander popping up telling you an objective? I don’t like it. There should just be a background voice-over, heads up. A little caption on the bottom. Hopefully, that is one of the reasons LucasArts shut down the game, it didn’t feel like Battlefront. I hope Spark is making BF3, and i hope it feels like Battlefront.
I agree it doesn’t have the feel of the classic battlefronts, but what this franchise needs is some innovations to mix it up a little, not saying I don’t have my fair share of complaints.
Well, the story is good but the graphics and skin of the soldiers could be better we can only wait until spark make a better game
This is all Alpha or Pre-Alpha footage,the graphics,skin,AI and sound to name a few would all be worked on after this,polishing it all up,improving and improving as they go along
I just thought about this but has anybody tried asking Spark if they aren’t making Battlefront 3? I don’t have a Twitter account so I can’t do it myself but if they say no then we can stop worrying about Spark and if they say they aren’t allowed to answer then it could mean some hope for us. Just an idea.
Spark has said that they cannot confirm OR deny what they are working on. They said it’s part of the NDA (non-disclosure agreement).
Oh alright, that makes sense.
I love and hate these pics and vids, I love seeing them and giving me hope.
But I hate it because it makes me want to have SWBF3.
when i saw the original leaked gameplay back in 2009 when this website first started off i knew that whoever picked up bf3 after free rad got the plug pulled on them was going to have some high expectations to meet, and this only stregnthens that thaught.
I think that if this were optimized and skinned (as it would have been) it could have been a great game
Looks F-ing awesome! Very laggy and lacked graphics but very awesome game. Spark better be makingn SWBF3!
Very cool but it looks very PS2 ish. I realize its alpha build but… maybe waiting is a good thing.
… Damn LucasArts D: Spark must doing it better or it isn’t worth to wait for Swbf3.
