With Free Radical biting the dust, some footage for their cancelled Star Wars: Battlefront 3 game has just reached the Internet. We hear this footage was taken from an alpha meeting with the team - now since this is from alpha, that means it's taken from an early build of the game.

Though that might be the case, it does sure look impressive as it is (err, was). It's a shame, really. Too bad we'll never see what Battlefront 3 will eventually look like would it have been released in the future. *sniff*

wow, that is very impressive for an early build.
i just hope a company (a good one mind you) takes the game and continues it. i love the fact that you could take a fighter from the ground all the way into space

def a day one buy for me too.

solid and very fluid animations, smooth graphics, great physics engine, awesome textures, cool effects.

wayyyy better than SW:the force unleashed which also has tons of bugs.

This is the rumor going around the news sites

After Free Radical Design closed its doors last month, the fate of Star Wars: Battlefront III and other titles remains unsure.The game is now rumored to be in the works at another U.K. studio: Rebellion, which created Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron for the PSP.

I wouldn't be surprised, it has Star Wars in it so they'll do everything they can to get it to market

It seems pretty well 'finished', if you ask me. Almost smells of 'falsified web hype' (the game is actually still in-production somewhere, with a pending release date, but they wanted to 'leak' this video to get everyone asking for it). Besides, I would think Lucasfilm would have a pretty solid contract for licensing of their properties. (Otherwise, the source code --and their IP-- could wind-up in a post-bankruptcy sale or online auction.)

i really hope someone takes over this starwars battlefront project. I loved playing the first two.

Has anyone tried the new lord of the rings game? i looks like a battlefront type game.

 » Yes

I have. But I don't really like it as much as I do battlefront. It doesn't feel the same, and the controls are a bit wacky.

I loved Star Wars battlefront since the first one...well FRD isn't dead yet, they're just in a bad spot right now. Hope remains.

Doesn't Rebellion Developments have the game now? They made Renegade Squadron.
