Bah, since Zak McKracken and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade it went slowly but irremediably downhill... SW games never really interested me, except KOTOR. So RIP LucasArts, long live good games (possibly)

Um.  Battlefront 1 and 2 weren't made by Lucasarts, they just oversaw the project.

@Death_Emu5 True, a lot of people forget that the only game(s) lost in the closing of Lucasarts was 1313 ( or a sequel to Republic Commando or a remake of X-Wing/TIE Fighter, these were titles some people wanted but were never coming out).... Basically KOTOR, Battlefront 3 can still happen heck JKII: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy as well as the Rogue Squadron series was not  made by Lucasarts just published

Death_Emu5

@LastPRmarine @Death_Emu5 And even with KotOR, those were made by Bioware/Obsidian so... Really, the last decent game Lucasarts actually made was The Force Unleashed, and even then, a lot of people didn't like that game either.

Lucas is responsible for lucasarts shutdown because he was the person that forced them to only develop star wars titles even if they were awful like kinect star wars

People act like Disney is at fault here when really it was Lucas Arts.  They've been crap for years and they absolutely refused to make Battlefront III or any other Star Wars games that we actually wanted for that matter.

Do they know how succesful this game would be?  I STILL play STBF2 with bros for gods sake!  They are sitting on a goldmine and how they don't see this BLOWS MY MIND.  FRIGG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GAME FOR TOO LONG!

@GOGOGOGURT Well making Battlefront III and selling millions would have made too much sense.  Duh.

Dear god, I forgot how underpowered that rocket launcher was. So may sweet memories of this game.

the game actually plays really well  if you have a gamepad and play in third person. even on characters with guns, you really don't have to play in first person because in 3rd person it's easier to keep track of the stuff around you and your teams advance

anvilone
anvilone moderatorstaff

@winnazdaluza Fair enough. Simply, it wouldn't have been "FPS Friday" if I had been playing 3p. Also, the minimap makes up for some of the situational awareness loss.

@TheSkyrimStatue The PC version is the best m8 (owned both) just because u can get 64 bots on the PC version and u can only get 32 on the xbox version.

Stopped watching at about 6 minutes. The game is amazing, but this gameplay video is the hell of boredom.

Though both I and II were good, I like the first one more because the bots and class were more balanced and the maps were much better IMO. The jedi felt a little clunky, though i did love the space combat in the second game

Stop it gamespot you just make me more angry... And who the hell play this game in FPS mode? lol

anvilone

@cboye18  "FPS Friday" is the first reason. The second is, frankly, I prefer 1st person mode when I feel less like I'm controlling a Storm Trooper and more that I AM a Storm trooper. Cheers though. Play however you want!

So you are mourning Lucas Arts' closure by reminding us about Battlefront and how #3 probably isn't happening? Well, that may have not been your intention, but that's what happened in my mind.

@tightwad34 Were you reaaaally holding out hope for a battlefront 3 before Lucas Arts closed?

@Poodger Nope. My dissapointment has diminished by quite a bit. It will always suck if this game never gets made, though.

God, watching this brings back so many memories that I'd forgotten. I remember that you could keep allied ships from launching without you even if another pilot jumped into it simply by keeping your reticule locked on it. And IIRC taking down the shield was accomplished by boarding the enemy cruiser and destroy points inside the ship. Hoth was the best sniper map, followed by Kashyyyk. Awww the memories. :)

I still don't know why Lucasarts decided not to continue development on Battlefront 3. Didn't they realise how well it would have sold? So much wasted potential.

@Stringerboy Because Lucas Arts has been a joke for the last decade. Everyone is mourning for the studio that wouldn't bring us Battlefront 3 but instead made Star Wars Kinect. Anyone cursing Disney because they believe games like Battlefront won;t be made anymore are fooling themselves. A 3rd in the series would have never surfaced under Lucas Arts anyway. Maybe now some other studios can do what Lucas Arts failed to do.

Also, don't forget that LucasArts didn't develop Battlefront, Pandemic did. Now that DIsney have said that they will now rely on external developers, I have faith that Battlefront III might become reality.

@Poodger @Stringerboy Whoever does it, they could change like less than 10 things from II and I would be happy.

@CeasdRedemption @Poodger @Stringerboy I would hope they finally made a way where space and land could be in one map, almost similar to Battlefront 1. I enjoyed how you could have the flying vehicles as well as the land vehicles at the same time. We have a lot of memory and power today and that's what I would like to see.
