Hey Battlefrontains.. there has been absolutely no news since the announcement of Star Wars: 1313, which doesn’t really come to a big surprise, as every year after E3, we all get disappointed.. and then there always seems to be a long period where there is nothing. This year is certainly no different.
In the world of LucasArts though, creative director Clint Hocking has decided to take his leave from the company and seek employment elsewhere. Can’t say as I blame him, I would have left too after realizing they were putting out another game that wasn’t Battlefront 3.
LucasArts creative director Clint Hocking announced he left his position at the company. He joined LucasArts after leaving Ubisoft in May 2010.
“I recently left my job at LucasArts and am moving on to something new,” Hocking said on his blog. “Unlike last time, I already have something lined up and I am currently in the process of dealing with the living hell of relocation.”
He spent the last two years working on an unannounced project for LucasArts. His time at Ubisoft lasted 9 years where he served as game director on the original Splinter Cell and creative director on Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Far Cry 2.

This “unnannounced project” was probably Star Wars: 1313, I am assuming, unless anyone else has heard otherwise?
In other events, Borman has posted up some more great videos on the late, great Battlefront 3, Free Radical style!

LucasArts Creative Director Calls it Quits.,
The sad thing is, SW:1313 is just the beginning of a new gaming franchise. If we ever get Battlefront 3, it won’t be for years.
yeah that really depends on how big of a dev team(s) that LA has if they could work on more than one game at a time other then some pre-production things but i don’t think that we will get SWBF3 this gen maybe if it was a first year of next gen we could see it on PS3/360 but i think your right that we will not see it for some time which is sad and I hope when they do make it that it will be done right.
You’re right, another franchise will just crowd the line of games they already plan on making.
There’s The Force Unleashed III, Kinect Star Wars II: The Empire Dances Back, and whatever disasters they could be planning. I’m not saying that all LucasArts games are bad, but come on. Where is Battlefront III?
Well Lucasarts is hiring for a new FPS game now. So who knows. Maybe a re-branded Battlefront as a FPS title in the likeness of Battlefield 3?

That is a good point, but it might not even be a Star Wars game. I would hope that it is Battlefront 3, and you can simply alternate between first-person and third-person camera views if so needed.
Thank you for the info. I’ll be keeping track of this.
Miss playing with ya TK! I was hoping they would look into DICE to help develop swbf3. Battlefield is much like swbf in many ways! That’s what I’ve been playing while waiting.
its not going to happen ever so come play battlefield 3 instead me duck
Can’t we get some other company to make a blatant rip-off? Make similar but different sounding music, have it be Hurricanetroopers and some Renegades, instead of stormtroopers and rebels.
It can be a bit cheesy, as long as I get to more or less get a battlefront like enitity for this generation of consoles… Hell, I can’t even find a copy of Battlefront 2 for my Xbox….let alnoe be sure that it would work on it…. And I’m betting that DLC for it is probably unpossible to find too.
If you’d have asked a month earlier, I could’ve sold it to you on Amazon.
If you have a hacked Xbox you can get the dlc.
Get it for PC, it’s $10 on Steam.
Let me just say this, that if you did pour your money and did not add any of your own creative effort into battlefront 3, it would ruin my hope. I want this game to be made, and the game would sell easily! I know many friends who would get this game in an instant! Please any game company out there with heart! Take this ember of hope that i have and use it to create a sci fi, third person masterpiece that will rekindle my childhood. Battlefront 2 was great, but with the new tech today, this could be better than Skyrim! Someone should make this, make it well, and sit upon the pile of money they made reviving the childhood fun of many people out in this world. Do it not just for us, but imagine the benefits for yourself!
Never lose hope! We can still hope for Battlefront III once SW: 1313 is finished.
no mate they are tooshort sighted you will never have it play cod instead
if your looking for a more SWBF like game you should play one of the Battlefield game cause that is what SWBF is based off.
If I had it my way, all of the executives at LucasArts would be jobless. homeless, and pennyless by the end of the day.
Regarding if the unnanounced project was 1313 or not, if it is/was 1313 then Why didnt they just bother to write the unnanounced project as SW 1313 instead, since 1313 is Pretty Much announced!? Pretty sure it’s an other game and not 1313! That’s My opinion at least!
Well I’m just gonna say that BF3 is completely gone forever. After the big build up of the rumors and the crushing blow of Spark saying that they are not making BF3… And then Lucasarts instead releasing a soon-to-fail copy and paste of Uncharted in space INSTEAD OF WHAT THE ******* FANS WANTED OVER 6 DAMN YEARS… I’m going to say that there IS NO hope for BF3.
as a golden sun fan i wanted 7 for the last game to come out.. yeah it was crap and i cant force my self to beat it but it came out. there is still hope.
Ever heard of Duke Nukem Forever? Or Team Fortress 2? Both of those games took 9 or more years to make!
First comment.
It would have been interesting if he said why he was leaving. Anyway, good luck, Clint!
hey. TK-421… why aren’t you at your post?
Well I don’t know if he quit because of the battlefront thing exactly but I definitely am not surprised. LucasArts just haven’t been making great decisions in their fans’ and audiences’ eyes. It may look great to them but not so much to me. However, I do have expectations that StarWars 1313 is going to be really awesome however I am still not convinced to buy it. I mean how many shooter games are there out there? Why not continue one that was always good and successful instead of trying to whip a new one out of the blue and hope that it is the next Call of Duty or Halo or whatever. Don’t stop momentum.
its no surprise considering he left ubisoft a year and a half ago and the game he was working on at lucasarts is way far off from release
