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.,
Honestly, as much as I want battlefront 3, Im scared that we will just get stuck with either a mostly good game that got obviously rushed at the end (kotor2) or that they try to emulate other franchises too much and we get stuck with a clone of an already existing game instead of a true sequel.
I can’t believe how stupid LucasArts are being. Don’t they realise they will battlefront 3 would make them an absolute fortune. Forget battlefield 3 being the cod killer, battlefront 3 would be easily.
the only way we can get battlefront is to make a fb page and get millions of people to like it. then hopefully george lucas will maybe look to see that millions of people want it. therefore putting millions of dollars in his pocket. Its worth the shot and im sure we will get lots of people liking it. 1313 looks like pretty graphics but its a exact clone of the force unleashed but with no sabre just laser guns. no online play no co op. george you make me and every starwars fan pissed off right now >:( most people want online and co op wtffff. lol battlefront 3 with co op and online is success especially with the graphics we can achieve right now. george lucas you have failed like annakin. you were good but you turned but hopefully you turn good again in the end and come back to the light side lol
I think Lucasarts’ partners have something to do with us not seeing Battlefront 3. Activision had ties to Lucasarts during SWBF3 production and was their distribution partner for a while. Lucasarts now works with EA for SWTOR, which was supposed to be EAs P2P MMORPG, and Activision now Activision Blizzard (and owns WoW). Both Companies have a rivalry over the FPS genre and now the Major MMO RPG genre.
The least Lucas arts can do to make up for the fact that they constantly let us down is give somesort of feedback on what they have to say about not giving us Starwars battlefront 3.
sorry to say but i give up. if they were close to finishing and scrapped it then i think its dead. im just gonna go see if dust514 can be my new syfy/space shooter game.
Where oh where is my republic commandos #2 has gone.
They have made all these failed games and wont bring back the clic that would be a bigger hit than call of duty black ops 2 and halo 4 even probably. I mean its been 7 years. The second people heard swbf3 was available for pre order stores would have lines out the doors to pre order it. there are no game like battlefront out there. the game was a master piece. same as star wars republic commando which they need another one of those btw. Instead of working on new fail games why not go with the clic hits that everyone wanted a sequel too
Hey, here’s some news:
“LucasArts president Paul Meegan has stepped down from his role at the game publisher,”
Found this on Gamespot
Yeah I like posted that like a week ago!!!
If they wont give us battlefront 3 anytime soon they could at least remake the 2 originals in HD for PS3 & XBOX 360 like what they done with the splinter cell trilogy at least until they relise they need star wars battlefront 3
I like that Idea!!!
