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” [...]
Well Battlefrontians, here you have it. It looks like Electronic Arts have been selected as the lucky ducks who get to represent the future of the Star Wars gaming industry. First thing that came to my mind when I thought about EA was that whole Sim City debacle where it basically flopped.. lets hope that [...]
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 [...]
Well Battlefrontians, it looks like Kotaku.com has come through for us again! Over the last few days they have reported that Star Wars: First Assault is “the troubled multiplayer shooter that could be LucasArts’s downloadable take on Battlefield and Call of Duty” and also the “predecessor” for Battlefront 3. Today they have posted 2 video [...]
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 [...]
Well Battlefrontians, it looks like Battlefront 3 isn’t the only game that’s getting the shaft. Kotaku.com is reporting that their “sources” have stated that Star Wars: 1313 has been put on hold. Three unrelated sources familiar with game development at LucasArts have all told us that development on the game has been frozen or put [...]
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 [...]
Well since the announcement of Disney buying the rights to Star Wars, the Star Wars world has been going crazy! We recently learned that the new Star Wars: Episode VII will be directed by none other then J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Fringe, Lost). Yesterday, StarWars.com officially announced that LucasFilm would be releasing additional stand alone [...]
It looks like we finally have news of the director of the Star Wars: Episode VII! J. J. Abrams, the same director who brought us the 2009 Star Trek film and it’s sequel, will be taking on the job. I quite enjoyed the 2009 Star Trek film, it was definitely a lot darker then any [...]
There hasn’t been too much info released on the new upcoming Star Wars game, entitled Star Wars: 1313. The official Star Wars: 1313 (located here) only contains a couple of videos and only a handful of screenshots.. but some great detective work by SideQuesting.com has revealed some new information that allows us to peek a [...]
Hello Battlefrontians.. I hope everyone is well! I apologize for the lack of updates but there hasn’t really been any interesting news over the last few months, besides the obvious Disney take over of Star Wars. Recently, some concepts have been leaked of the 2012 rumored Slant Six Games produced [Star Wars: Battlefront Online]. The [...]
Hey Battlefrontians! I hope all is well. There hasn’t been much to report on as of lately, so it’s been pretty quiet around here. Thank you to Scott as well for his generosity with the free giveaway he ran over the last few weeks! Congrats to those winners! So, as you all have heard already, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Today’s topic.. Star Wars: 1313, which will probably be the big buzz for the next few months. GameTrailers.com has posted up some new exclusive gameplay footage which shows off Star Wars: 1313′s pretty graphics and gameplay engine. So far I’ve heard some pretty good feedback coming from this game, especially from the fact that this [...]
Well, here we have it Battlefrontians. LucasArts has announced their new franchise last night on GTTV (via Spike TV) as Star Wars: 1313. Although not much information has been released about Star Wars: 1313, the synopsis definitely shows some promise. Named for Level 1313, a ruthless criminal underground deep below the surface of the planet [...]
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. [...]
