Good afternoon my fellow Battlefrontians! Some interesting and great news on the Battlefront.. it looks like EA is expanding and opening up a brand new office in Los Angelas for the Battlefield developers of DICE! According to Kotaku (via WallStreetJournal): “The office isn’t a development studio per se; it’s there to “help with recruiting talent” [...]
So here we are, LucasArts has been officially put to rest by Disney. Very interesting. I must admit, I really didn’t see that coming but some people are saying it’s for the best, while others are simply pissed off at Disney for shutting them down and cancelling everything that they had in development. I guess [...]
After 31 years LucasArts has come to a close. Disney released official word earlier today that they would be shutting the game publishing segment down. “After evaluating our position in the games market, we’ve decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company’s risk while achieving a broader portfolio [...]
Yesterday, Kotaku.com: I also wanted to touch base on a new partnership between Battlefront3.net and Gloom Walkers! Gloom Walkers was initially run by our old partner in crime Tuggie. When Tuggie retired, Gloom Walkers was resurrected under new administration. We are happy to resume our partnership which will bring some fantastic video reviews! I will [...]
Well my fellow Battlefrontians, some very interesting news to report today. Kotaku.com has just revealed that Star Wars: First Assault (which was first sighted last September) was originally a downloadable multiplayer shooter that was supposed to be released sometime this spring. “The game supports up to 16 players—one eight-person team of rebels and one eight-person [...]
Hi Battlefrontians, last year I stared work on a complete Infographic timeline including all Star Wars: Battlefront 3 news, rumors and tidbits since 2006 and have finally got around to finishing it up. If I have forgotten anything or if anyone has anything else to add, just let me know. Enjoy!
Hello fellow Battlefrontians! As you all can see, Battlefront3.net has received a new look! A big thanks to Scott and Spartan (our other admins) for the great input, suggestions and feedback. With the new look I hope to keep the site up to date with news that will include Battlefront 3, other Star Wars games [...]
It seems that, regardless whether or Star Wars: First Assault is a reborn Battlefront or not, it will be coming to XBLA. Thanks to seven324 on our forums for the quick post, it seems that the cover art was leaked on the NeoGAF forums earlier today. That bit of news can definitely bring mixed emotions [...]
Hi Battlefrontians! As many of you know, I have just moved into a new house and am currently still without internet. Hopefully, we should be hooked up by October 1st, so you can expect more updates then! I want to thank everybody for their emails! There have been an overwhelming amount of emails in regards [...]
Hello fellow Battlefrontians. Apologies for the lack of updates here, I have been pretty busy this summer as my wife and I just bought a new house and there hasn’t really been much to report on. Since Spark Unlimited revealed that they are not the developers of Battlefront 3, everything and every rumor seems to [...]
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 [...]
Some interesting news from the frontlines that LucasArts will be revealing their new gaming franchise come this Thursday (May 31, 2012) on Spike TV. I’m not really sure what to expect here, as there is a lot of speculation that it will revolve around this new “1313″ we have been hearing about so much. In [...]
Hello my fellow Battlefrontians! My apologies for the lack of updates, but their just hasn’t been much going on in terms of any kind of Battlefront 3 news. Ever since we were let down by Spark, things have really died off. But, alas! I must rekindle this fire and remind everyone that this years E3 [...]
Hello Battlefrontians! MAY THE 4th be with you! This is very interesting, and a big thanks to “maul362″ for the heads up. In an in-depth article with Eurogamer, Free Radical Co-Founders David Doak and Steve Ellis, bear their teeth and tell us how LucasArts basically destroyed any hopes of them releasing Battlefront 3. Battlefront 3 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Holy crap, I think I may be having Battlefront 3 overload! This is definitely great to get a glimpse of what could have been Battlefront 3. It actually surprises me that the game got canned when it was so far along, I also hear some people saying how crappy the game looks, but keep in [...]
So, a few things to have a look at in this post my fellow, but patient Battlefrontians. Yesterday, as we all know was April fools day.. yay! wherein, a couple of pranks trickled in, including a posting by Wookiepedia that “Battlefront 3 to be released in winter 2012″, which wasn’t that humorous in my opinion. [...]
Hey Battlefrontians, some interesting tidbits for you and a great find by one of our forum members RogueStarkiller. From RogueStarkiller: This week Spark is in San Francisco for the GDC(Game Developer’s Conference). Last night Spark went out to dinner with their publisher and tweeted this: For those that may not know, Twitter geotags you to [...]
I was surfing around last night and I happened to come across the Crytek Audio Director’s profile on Linkedin and I noticed that he had Battlefront 3 and Battlefront 4 added to his profile. Now we all know that Battlefront 3 was scrapped in and around 2008 via Free Radical, so what was unusual about [...]
