Rumorang: Star Wars Battlefront III 'not currently' at Pandemic

Jesus, just give up now... Given the messes that were Conquest & Mercs 2, I don't think Pandemic have the skill anymore to produce a good game, especially since development has been essentially rebooted since FR's death & rebirth.

Likewise for Rebellion - they got AvP mostly right but have they done anything that hasn't been largely mediocre since? Even the 2000AD games have been pretty lame when you consider what 'could' have been done (although Rogue Trooper was a hoot).

if this does find a home, here's hoping for underwater battles with SCUBA troopers like that one episode from the original clone wars. that would be incredibly epic.

Pandemic loved Mercs2 unlike my fellow joystiq'r, but that LoTR was terrible.

Thank GOD its not with pandemic. Those guys sure know how to ruin a game.

Way to step on a man's dreams matt everett

What has Pandemic done lately? Let's see...Destroy all Humans 2, mercs 2 and LOTR conquest.

All garbage. Im glad they don't have it.

Honestly, I think the best thing Lucasarts could do would be to work with the good folks at Crytek Nottingham (formerly Free Radical Design) and pick up right where they left off. Because I want to be able to take off in an X-Wing and fly right out into the atmosphere, darn it, not take a 3 second break while a cutscene does it for me.

Battlefront is such a great series, i hope these studio changes don't hurt the final game changing it for the worse.

aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh give it to Crytek!!!! Maybe they'll be able to use the awesome that we saw in that leaked footage.

Playable Jabba!

Han ma bookie...

If it was with pandemic I thin that would be great. I loved the 1st SWB, but I just hope most of the stuff we saw in that wicked gameplay video from Freeradical will be in the game. If you don't know what I'm talking about here is a quote from a while ago.

Ships flew as they did in the films, missiles were copied from the flight paths in the films - if you loved starwars you would have *really really* loved this. You could pilot everything you could see in the trailer and there were huge multiplayer and singleplayer components never seen in any starwars game before. Rebellion is supposedly finishing up the game but it will be nothing like this as it will have to run on a completely different engine - said by "silasx" One Thing that is supposedely being cut is the feature to seamlessly fly from the planets atmosphere into space, now it could possibly be replaced with a stupid cutscene :(
