I'm surprised a former LA developer would even suggest that Battlefront 3 was cancelled due to its "mediocrity", given that the company had no issues developing future games like Republic Heroes, Clone Wars Adventures and TFU2 that were so blatantly mediocre in their own ways. So, even if B3 didn't ...

If First Assault will be multiplayer-only then I suspect it will be in the vein of smaller games like BF1943 or TF2. Perhaps there's no campaign because LucasArts want our money faster? Still, it's a step in the right direction if LucasArts plan on reviving the Battlefront games and formula.

Also ...

Unfortunately this new game doesn't look like it will be Battlefront 3 since the official press release states that it will be the first of a new "Game Franchise". http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/LucasArts_Spike_To_Unveil_New_SW_Game_Franchise_145906.asp

I believe this new Star Wars game ...

Pardon me, but you must have misread the text you quoted. As the PS3 doesn't force gamers to subscribe to a service in ...

In hindsight, we can see it was just a marketing ploy for us to follow them on Twitter. They were exploiting our constant speculation about their connection to BF3 so they decided to play along.

If it's not announced at E3, then it has to be either Comic Con or Celebration VI.

Thanks, I will add in both the above and fix up a few things tonight.

Any other criticism? suggestions? :u:

The remnants of Free Radical became the newly formed Crytek UK when they were purchased, as Crytek previously did not have a UK arm of the company then.

Well, November 6 would put BF3 4-5 days before the next CoD release, so I don't think that's a viable time period for Lucas Arts.

Also, Spark have said they expect to announce their game in 2012, not to release it in 2012 (according to their Projects listing page).

With this in mind, I think BF3 ...

@sparkunlimited in your opinion, what's the difference between "first/third person shooter" and "first/third person action adventure"?

@spartacus128 I think the amount if exploration and gameplay tactics beyond running and gunning. But that's just a quick answer.

:SS The word "exploration ...

I'd definitely go with action, but you'd assume they'd call Battlefront a Third Person Shooter, surely?
Unless of course they tweak the gameplay/storyline and make it more of a so-called 'adventure' too.
However I am struggling to find an alternative to Battlefront that seems likely

I'm sure ...

To me it looks like a cartoony version of either a Storm/ Clone trooper. I suppose it's their unofficial way of saying, "okay guys, here's our way of telling you we're developing B3, so stop spamming us and get off our backs already". It's a subtle method of bypassing the rules in their NDA me ...

@hotsushiking1 Your question conveys that you believe that LucasArts does not know what their fanbase wants. Why would you assume that?

I think he knows very well that we as the fanbase have waited for this game and LucasArts ignores us.
On a side note who else is creeped out by ...

@HRastapopulous management changes at the publisher meant they went from being really happy to really worried about it overnight.

Does anyone actually know why LucasArts became capricious over Free Radical's ability to finish the game?

Heh, this 'twitter bomb' should be more about LA's neglect to fans over the years rather than BF3 (though, a BF3 petition was made years ago and LA did nothing).

I highly doubt they used any actual code from BF3 in Elite Squadron, but it seems obvious that it was used as some kind of inspiration.

it was the same game. had the same characters same cutscene same sections of maps
