Battlefront III: Discussion, Hopes, and Speculation

Am I the only one glad Pandemic is not developing BF3? Very Happy

Seriously though, I loved the concept they created with the first one. Its just that if you look at all their games, they are all the same. Mercenaries, Lord of the Rings Conquest, BF2, BF1, etc.

I want something a little more new, and lately I dont feel that Pandemic has shown the ability to create fresh ideas.

It's been quiet for BF3 news but there might just be hope yet. All signs point toward Spark Unlimited, if you go to their website they list job openings for a title they are working on "3rd person action/adventure game set in high profile science fiction franchise" This is pretty vague I know but think about it. Pandemic was unknown and didn't have a good track record before they Lucasarts gave them a chance. A good place to look is always the official Lucasarts forums under the BF2 page, and the thread BF3 speculation. Keep hope alive and i'll post anything I hear. Also battlefront3.net is a decent fan page with news

I have my eyes on a certain event now, and am hoping BEYOND hope that our skype chats are looking more factual, then hopeful fanboys. Cause this Fanboy would giggle like a schoolgirl (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with schoolgirls giggles) to get news that BF3 was coming.

At this point, I doubt this'll ever come out.

Random thought: Who wants to see elements from TCW incorporated into a Battlefront-style game?

I was thinking of TCW heroes/villains. Ahsoka, Cad Bane, Pre Vizsla, Embo, Savage Opress etc.

And yeah, I always thought Christophsis would be AWESOME in a Battlefront game.

I wouldn't mind it, though to be honest I wasn't that big a fan of the heroes aspect in the second game. I preferred the 'ordinary soldier' aspect of the first, and just never bought the hero add on during the conquest stage.

However, I could see the next game, if there is a next game, set during the Clone Wars. Yes, I quite like the idea of that. And it could possibly give us a clue as to the timeline of the war Very Happy

As long as TCW characters have a realistic look yes. I'm not a fan of the animation style. I want the game to be more mature. I always wanted more EU in the Battlefront games such as Dark Empire, or NJO missions. The NJO would probably give the game a MATURE rating though. I wouldn't care, it would be awesome. I can't see Lucasarts making an M rated game though.

I wouldn't mind a few TCW characters neither, but just like Empire622 I'm only for it as long as the characters try to look realistic. I wouldn't want to see "Star Wars Battlefront: The Clone Wars".
I'm all for the use of the planets from TCW though. It would be nice to have a BF game that has a few other locations in it, besides the obligatory ones.

@Life Is The Path
I'm with you on that. Just let me be a trooper and start mowing down the enemy!

@Empire622
I would so love to have a BF-like or a RTS game in which you could fight Yuuzhan Vong, but I'm afraid that's just daydreaming. Galactic conquest would be so sweet, though!

Yea I know. They did include a Dark Empire mission on the first Rogue Squadron game for Nintendo 64. You are right about the daydreaming. Lucasarts will only make what will sell. Sadly it wouldn't surprise me if they did make Battlefront 3 into "Battlefront 3: The Clone Wars" because they KNOW that would sell. I would HATE that. Keeping my eyes on Spark though, and Gammer events for Battlefront 3.

Rumours are circulating that this is going to be announced this year, but it sounds like a distinct possibility, and I can't help but feel excited!
