Personally, I just want a fuck off awesome Battlefront 3, not more of the handheld stuff.

i agree with you. renagade squadron, while it was good, would've been much better on a console. and hopefully if they bring it back onto the consoles, then there will be much more content

Battlefront 2, Spider-Man 2 and San Andreas are my all-time favourite games and I still can't live without them. My God, what epic games I could play forever. I wouldn't care if we're on the 20th gaming generation but as long as I have these games I would be a happy man.

P.S. It makes me so sad that they failed hard on the Spider-Man 3 and somewhat on Web of Shadows. Developers lost something right after Spider-Man 2 and I'm waiting on the day a truly epic Spider-Man video game can exceed Spider-Man 2.

They took the fun out of the spiderman series after spiderman 2. Although my kid and I had a good time with Spider-man: Friend or Foe.

Yeah, I was excited when I saw the headline then immediatly disappointed when I realised it's just more handheld titles. I'm sure they'll at least be decent but they've got to realise that we want a huge, beautiful looking 360/PS3 version.

wow, thats pretty cool i guess. i enjoyed battlefront 2 more than RS on the psp but hopefully with an entirely new game there will be some upgrades from the previous ones. and while i don't really own a DS, some of that sounds kinda cool. hopefully both iterations of the game will do well so that they would be more inclined to FINALLY bring it back onto the console

No, we want CONSOLE Battlefront games LucasArts, not this handheld garbage. Why are we so far into this gen without so much as an official trailer for Battlefront 3?

I agree with you Wayne, I'm ready for Battlefront 3 already. Battlefront 1&2 kicked major ass. I wish they'd just get their shit together and get it done. I'm so tired of waiting!!

The legend goes that LucasArts commissioned Rebellion to do Battlefront 3, because they quoted lower costs than Free Radical, and that the termination of the project was what put Free Radical under

However, it gets more interesting. Battlefront 3 was commissioned for both PS360 and for Wii and PS2, but the costs that Rebellion quoted for the PS360 versions were too high, so the rumor is that the "next-gen" versions have been canceled completely

Proof for the first half of what i said:

As far as I know all home console version were cancelled.

Hypothetically speaking it would take a lot of work to port the 360/PS3 version to the Wii. You have to scale down everything (AI, lighting, characters etc etc) and build motion mechanics that actually work. Then, there are the issues of selling a 3rd party time to the Wii audience. Star Wars is popular enough and established to the point that probably won't have the same issues as other 3rd party wii games.

A singular Wii version would be a sales catastrophe. The battlefront games would be DLC and multiplayer monsters on the PS3 & 360.

oh man, I really really hope that second half of what you said is just rumor... or else I will cry and cry hard. To have waited this long only to not be able to play it on next-gen would just be... unspeakable!!

I'd rather nothing be done until they can afford to do a proper Battlefront 3, not some cheap version they can just slap a 3 on for easy money. But... well, it is Lucasarts...

I hope they make Battlefront 3 for the 360. Battlefront 2 was a blast. I also hope that the multiplayer doesn't die like most 360 games out there.

This is the best PSP (and DS) news I've heard in a long time! Really happy about this!

Now if only Star Wars Battlefront III was announced for Wii.....
