Battlefront 3 Rumours Persist
Posted: 17.05.2010 10:15 by Joe Robinson Comments: 4
It seems that, no matter how many times Battlefront 3 is cancelled, revived, and then cancelled again, rumours of its impending release keep on coming.

The latest news concerning the project, which was most recently known as Battlefront Online under SOCOM Devs Slant Six, concerns GameSpy and a rumour claiming that they are going to host servers for the title.

This latest whisperings comes from the Battlefront Community forums, complete with a screenshot showing the supposed servers for PS3, PC, Wii & PSP. There is no 360 listing because apparently Microsoft doesn't allow Gamespy to host servers for them.

Slant Six's Battlefront project was canned after LucasArts realised it had a "stacked 2011 schedule", and so decided to drop the project when they found out it wouldn't be ready for this year.

As for this latest rumour... well, I've had my heart broken one too many times now. Only time will tell if it's true or not.

I really do hope this game eventually gets finished and released. Battlefront were truly awesome games, and I'd love to play a 3rd installment on my Xbox 360.

Never got too much into Star Wars games. Probably because I didn't liked FPSs and such action games before. Times have changed for me and I officially like FPS since couple years ago. Since Battlefield 1942 demo.

I don't know. There have been no new films (even though Lucas initially promised nine episodes, not six), just novels and they only appeal to hardcore SW fans. So what new material would they base it on?
