Former Free Radical employee leaks original Star Wars: Battlefront III renders

Lesson learned? Never make a PS3 exclusive lol... Final Fantasy Series understood that... and they are Sony fanboys...

Those pics look really good to me. It's a shame what happened to the company as it lookedlike great things were ahead.

I can't fathom their decisions. If your company isn't the most financially sound why attempt an exclusive game to a console that's deep last in the race in the America's. That's pure suicide. As far as Haze being sucky, many companies still profit off horribly yet successfully marketed games.

I hope the talent stays around somewhere, and the bonehead decision makers get out.

Making Haze PS3-exclusive wasn't the cause of its "poor reception" -- being a rather universally bad-reviewed game was.

THANK GOD star wars battlefront III is still alive and well :D. I don't really care what developer has it's hands on it right now, just knowing it's still coming out one day makes me happy.

Never played a Free Radical game before. The Timesplitters games never interested me and I heard Haze wasn't very good. Still, it's sad to see people lose their jobs. It's a shame the LotR game isn't turning out so hot either, especially considering they were responsible for the first two Star Wars: Battlefront games.

Regarding LOTR, while I'd much much much rather have star wars battlefront, remember that Battlefront was horrible too as a demo. Remember the demo on the Star Wars DVD's? Try playing it.. it's near broken. If I had played that before I bought the game I may have never picked it up. So Pandemic still may pull through with that game.

Am I the only one that finds this Han Solo disturbing?

Wow, i only hope Battlefront III actually looks like a good looking game. I hate it when these damn developers show a game (that looks great and all...) and then (a few months before the game releases)...they go back, and polish everything up REALLY GOOD, making the game shinier...thus killing the authentic look of the game's originality.

Like that Halo 2 demo. It looked amazing...then they releases ACTUAL game footage..and bleh.

So this still coming out or what?

Timesplitters was actually a really good game. One of few that had a level editor for consoles. I think people saw the 'cartoony' look and got turned off by it. I don't know any other game that let me play as a little monkey, fragging people w/ dynamite. lol.

Wasn't Free Radical related to Rare in some way? I thought people from Free Radical had something to do w/ N64 Goldeneye?

But what's this about people losing jobs? Um, yes, I know this is a bad economy and it's horrible to lose one's job now... but isn't that the goal of every business? To NOT fail? There are plenty of other businesses closing shop every day. I'm sorry people are losing their jobs, but when failure is a result of poor quality or bad decisions, then you gotta suck it up and own up to the mistakes that were made. (*cough*americanautoindustry*cough*).

LOL It looked like "great things were ahead" because they made Han Solo with hat hair?
