Here's 56 Minutes of Star Wars Battlefront III Footage

By Joseph Christ on July 4th, 2012 (23 comments)

Happy 4th of July! Perhaps your sobs over what-might-have-been will be enough to drown out any fireworks happening outside as you watch this hour long video of pre-alpha Battlefront III footage.

There's  pretty big variety of characters and locations shown but beware, this was Battlefront III when it was still in pretty janky Alpha shape. Even then, however, it was looking damn good.

    Sorry to be the one to say this, but I'm pretty sure this game was cancelled by Lucas Arts. Sorry If I'm being a Capt. Obvious right now.

    Never having properly played the first 2 I have to admit this game looks like a lot of fun I could see myself playing this for hours too bad it won't seem like it'll happen.

    It's an over the shoulder Battlefield shooter that takes place in SW universe, yawn. I'll just play the original.

        There must have been a more reasonable way to do that.

    I'm sure everyone will cry out for my death for saying this, but I really feel that this game could use a customization feature. Purely aesthetically though. The one thing I liked about the prequels was all the different looks of the storm troopers. How the armors had differing colors, and some of them had weird shoulder pads. I thought it was a nifty touch. Hell, it's the only reason I pick up Halo Reach from time to time. To dress up my Spartan.
