So there is a guy on Twitter who I and the BF3.net twitter account have been in contact with, and he is claiming to be posting footage of the old Free Radical game today. He says it wil be posted on ptoponline.com. True or not, it should be interesting.

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2012 11:00 am**

I've been following this too and we'll see what happens. I have a contact who is an actual ex-FreeRadical exmployee who can verify this stuff once it's out.

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2012 11:33 am**

Please provide a link when it is put online as it would be very much appreciated.

The guy on twitter said he'd post it tonight sometime after 7pm Eastern Standard Time.

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:02 pm**

then we shall see if its true or not, tonight

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:35 pm**

Well it sounds like we won't have to wait till tonight. The guy just tweeted that he has the package.

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:53 pm**

Could someone post this guy's Twitter name? I'd like to follow this story too.

Greetings to the http://battlefront3.net forums, I have only made one post there as Borman. Trying my best, still busy from 4-7ish

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2012 3:18 pm**

See, Im totally aware of you guys here. I should have it setup so when I get back, we're good to go with some fun stuff.

You gonna post here first or your website? Also, can you give a more solid time? Also, go to the chat if you will.

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2012 3:21 pm**

It'll be on the website. Trying to get a tease out before I go finish what I have to do, but it may take a while.

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2012 4:07 pm**

The tease images on ptoponline looks believable but I just cant relate it to Free Radical's leak for swbf3,the leak video made it look a bit.....better.

Might as well wait till Borman's big show tonight

Posted: **Tue Apr 03, 2012 4:35 pm**

Beginning of chat is at bottom and reads from bottom to top. Person's name is below what they are saying.

Build date is actually March 17, 2008, from what I can tell

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:16 pm

Buildnum is r70217

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:15 pm

DarthRevan19

I do to

Legion 2.5
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:14 pm

Both, if you have them

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:14 pm

You want the actual number, or an estimated date?

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:14 pm

What build version of this game are these pics from?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:13 pm

its old stuff i think

DarthRevan19
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:13 pm

Screenshots are from a 360 development kit

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:12 pm

yea

DarthRevan19
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:12 pm

And likely a quick and dirty port from the PC. It still says "Exit to Desktop"

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:12 pm

Understand that this build is from March 2008, the video we have all seen was small, and from many months later

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:11 pm

sup everyone

DarthRevan19
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:10 pm

Nope.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:08 pm

You said you have actual video files right?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:08 pm

You can see the twin hangars on the left side as circles

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:08 pm

Ill see if I can set up some sort of video stream later.

Borman

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:06 pm

not that one

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:06 pm

crap

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:06 pm

Mos Eisley on the ground from the escape pod has the exact same layout as this picture http://swbf3.de/images/swbf3/virtual_re ... olio_4.jpg

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:05 pm

I compared it with the pic from swbf3.de

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:05 pm

These are real

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:05 pm

It looks like elite squadron

spartan64
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:04 pm

We'll be watching

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:03 pm

Posted another screenshot, running to class then Ill be back, Ill be monitoring this chat as I can.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:01 pm

Why not me? I collect things like this.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:01 pm

Yes. Any of these assets for that matter.

Scott
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:00 pm

Why do I have what? These screens?

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:00 pm

Why do you have them?

Scott
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:59 pm

Woo escape pods

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:59 pm

Thanks

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:58 pm

Trying to get you one more before I leave

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:58 pm

Just old. Like Ive been saying

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:57 pm

I plan on it.

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:56 pm

scott, message in other chat

spartan64
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:56 pm

Ask any Free Radical employee who worked on this game, these are real.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:56 pm

Whenever I get out of class.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:55 pm

So what time for the rest of the stuff?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:55 pm

Unless someone programmed a 360 battlefront 3, its real.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:55 pm

I mean, the source of the actual data.

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:53 pm

Im the source at this point.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:53 pm

Besides family

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:53 pm

Unless YOU'RE the source, I wouldn't say anyone is 100%

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:52 pm

It;s 100% credible

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:52 pm

The heroes models barely work, thats how early this is

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:52 pm

What was your first impression of this person from whom you got the info? Credible?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:52 pm

Models are usually white/grey or better than this for a console release.

Scott
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:50 pm

The pictures from this build are from March 2008

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:50 pm

And its not a photoshop, youre welcome to think that though

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:50 pm

...that is perhaps the worst fake photoshop I've ever seen.

Kelevra
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:50 pm

It's definitely unpolished. But most early builds are.

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:49 pm

IF these are real, it looks like a PSP/Vita game quality visuals.

Scott
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:49 pm

I'm copying the whole thing spartan. But we can take this to the topic if you want.

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:48 pm

Can you please post this in a topic? If you want, I can create it for you or just post them here: viewtopic.php?f=7&p=16194#p16194 Messages aren't permanent on the chat.

spartan64
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:48 pm

But its certainly BF3

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:47 pm

Let's just say its all real, real early stuff that I have.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:47 pm

Did you get any actual playable game files or beta files? stuff like that

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:47 pm

Looks like PC was the lead platform, lots of PC references in this

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:46 pm

Looks good.

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:45 pm

Well, and framerate

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:45 pm

The blacked out bits are identifiers

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:45 pm

I accidently added the same thing twice

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:44 pm

Updated

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:43 pm

People might say the pics are photoshopped, and that's ok, skeptics can be good. But once you post video tonight it'll be better I think.

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:43 pm

Framerate is awful

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:41 pm

Give me a minute

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:40 pm

Sure

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:40 pm

Want another photo?

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:40 pm

Looks like someone discovered photoshop.

spartan64
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:40 pm

Are you a game developer yourself?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:39 pm

Right!

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:39 pm

For now, until I have something else to show. It's a teaser after all

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:38 pm

I'm already there. One pic for now?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:38 pm

http://ptoponline.com/?p=53

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:37 pm

Im being attacked by my cat, not making this easy

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:37 pm

Ive played both

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:36 pm

I know you guys don't know that, so I welcome the skepticism. And look forward to people seeing this

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:36 pm

By the way, did you ever play on Xbox or were you a Playstation guy?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:36 pm

Fair enough

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:35 pm

Ive proven myself reliable. Simple as that.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:35 pm

What would you say to those people.

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:34 pm

I realize what Im about to post could be faked, but as youll see, the rest of the info will be just as real

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:34 pm

A lot of people are skeptical though, what with the timing of April Fool's

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:34 pm

We really appreciate you doing this by the way

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:34 pm

No prob man. Whatever you can

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:33 pm

I cant right now, not enough time

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:33 pm

Make it a video haha

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:33 pm

For sure

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:33 pm

So you want the teaser in a minute?

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:32 pm

I was as heartbroken as everyone else

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:32 pm

Im a fan, for sure

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:32 pm

And my information was good

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:32 pm

So you would say you've been following Battlefront 3 for a while and are a fan

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:31 pm

A bit of both. It sort of came up

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:31 pm

Message:
were you approached about this information or did you approach someone?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:30 pm

It depends on if this finishes or not, maybe a few minutes from now

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:30 pm

I will. I myself have class shortly

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:29 pm

When did you say the teaser would be up?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:29 pm

when you post it

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:29 pm

Be as detailed as you can without getting anyone in trouble

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:29 pm

Well, Borman I look forward to what you have... In the mean time I need to go to class.

Gfunkymonkey
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:29 pm

I know Im being vague and all, but again, I dont want to incriminate people

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:28 pm

Not possible, I promised not to simply post it all

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:28 pm

Ignore the music things

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:28 pm

You should post it all and let everyone sort that out.

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:28 pm

If you want to see the other things I have provided info on, look at youtube.com/borman18

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:28 pm

A lot. The question is what is usable and what isn't.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:27 pm

Do you know how large the information is, in databytes?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:27 pm

Both

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:26 pm

Ill find out the scope of it shortly

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:26 pm

i.e., mostly media or mostly text

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:26 pm

What's the scope of the information?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:26 pm

Fair enough... What type of material are we going to be looking at? a primitive copy of the game? or are we looking at a video or what?

Gfunkymonkey
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:26 pm

I could tell you who worked on the Death Star scenario, but I already contacted him and didn't get a response

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:26 pm

Definitely blank out names. We dont' want to get anybody in trouble

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:25 pm

I have to be careful, since there are names in the files, I dont want to incriminate someone who isn't guilty of anything

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:25 pm

I know its trustworthy based on looking at it.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:25 pm

I dont ask question hah

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:24 pm

ANd what people trusted to give you this new information?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:24 pm

I collect game development related information. People trust me with information.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:24 pm

How did you get the information, video, or what you have?

Gfunkymonkey
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:24 pm

I dont know any Free Radical employees hah.

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:23 pm

I had asked some ex-Free Rad employees for some stuff, which they had, but were unable to give out. How were you able to get them to give the stuff?

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:22 pm

Hey man

RogueStarkiller
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:21 pm

For the time being

Borman
Tue Apr 03, 2012 1:21 pm

Borman...you there?
