It has been too damn long since a good Star Wars game has come out, and even too damn longer since a Battlefront game has come out.
It's in the same spot this game is, so we really can't say. The projects aren't necessarily cancelled as of now, but are essentially left spinning their wheels without a clear destination.
here we goo.....

Same goes for the movies, so at least they're consistent. XD
My only evidence that they were was that they had a lot of job openings, but apparently those are all fake!
Kyle Katarn for the win!
One of my favorite gaming franchises ever. But let's all just accept the fact that it is dead, and if they brought it back, it would probably be terrible.

Got really excited with that thread title. Unfortunately this game looks nothing like Battlefront to me. Lets be honest, we're never getting Battlefront 3.
Because it's a superior form for shooter gameplay.

I fear if they ever made battlefront 3 it wouldn't be anything like battlefront. It would be Codized and turned into something it wasnt, basically a mix of cod and battlefield 3.
Then i see this and it screams battlefield and COD. Glad its probably not happening then. I mean the game was in a tps with the option to go into fps and the leaked images are only fps wth. Even if there is a tps mode it would probably be switched and that would be the after thought not fps.
Just create a battlefront HD collection, better graphics, online, trophies and thats it keep everything else the same.

Kotaku is at it again.
The game is said to be running on Unreal Engine, and is a scaled back version on what could be Battlefront III. Kotaku provided two alleged images of First Assault:
Despite the leaked information about the downloadable title, its status is still unknown and is presumably in 'development limbo', similar to what we've heard about Star Wars 1313.
For now, that's all they have on the game. Thoughts?
SOLD! Would buy this on 360 for sure. A Wii U release would be nice, but who am I kidding..

If those pics are real.. I do not want.
Generic shooter incoming.
Is it really to much to ask for a Republic Commando 2 or a Battlefront 3?

Listen, LucasArts. If you're going to release another Star Wars game then release another game from the ,Jedi Knight franchise. It's hands-down the best franchise there is, and it's ridiculous that only two were made. Make it happen.

Those are both fairly simple shooter knockoffs with Star Wars flavor. This would have been/will be as well, I'm cool with that. I'd play Call of Star Wars.
It was supposed to be an XBLA game ffs.

How are those 2 not gonna be generic shooters?

Looks good. I hope this and 1313 see release. ESPECIALLY 1313. That would be the next generations biggest waste before the next gen even starts.

I don't get why BF3 is in such disarray. Jesus Christ it isn't complicated, make a good BF game and people will buy it. Who doesnt wanna play a next gen 64 player star wars game with huge battles, vehicles, etc... Like seriously. Whos fucking in charge over there? Are they retarded?
If you make crap like force unleashed, then ya, it wont sell.
It isnt complicated Lucasarts, people want quality games. Thats what sells. Shocking i know.

Most of those developers left Lucas Arts to other companies or Republic Commando ended up being their last game project.
The director Tim Longo went to Crystal Dynamics for the Tomb Raider reboot but left after preproduction phase to come back at Lucas Arts in April 2011 as creative director on an unannounced project.
The writers left for Telltale Games, programmer Nathan Martz (physics and enemy AI) went to work on Double Fine games, John A Hancock (core AI and squad AI) became a software engineer for Lair.
Unless if Tim Longo is working on a possible Republic Commando 2, it's not happening.

Also, Tim Longo went on the Rebel FM podcast to talk about Republic Commando.
Will update OP, thanks.

This has to be released, I need this, please!
They're probably running out of time on this, right?
I mean, it'd be kind of weird to release an XBLA game for 360 in 2014.

Those newer screens look great. It looks like a prettier Battlefront on a smaller scale. I want this now. 
From what I hear, the game is almost done. The team was/is still building it as if it has a spring release date, although the developers at LucasArts don't know whether the execs at Disney/LucasFilm will actually release it.
Summer 2013 is the latest I can imagine them releasing. I also think it'd be stupid for them not to, because it would be an absolutely huge 'Summer of Arcade' game.

I wonder if he came in to see you being a twat and left satisfied?
I always satisfy in that regard.
Here's some leaked gameplay footage. Looks like the original Kotaku video got shut down by Disney but someone managed to grab it and reupload it. Ignore if old.
