Pandemic says "we're not making Battlefront 3"

March 10, 2009 in News comments 9

Battlefront 3 is getting tossed around more then salad (forgive me for how lame that is); rumours were recently about developer Pandemic had the game back home with them, but this is actually false, according to a spokesperson for the company. Can't these studios see the fans want this game, and just finish it!

Pandemic Studios, developer of the original Star Wars: Battlefront games, has denied picking up the third Battlefront instalment from the remnants of troubled TimeSplitters dev Free Radical, which was originally working on the third game.

"As of right now I can say Battlefront III is not currently at Pandemic," a company spokesperson confirmed on its web forums. "While I know the title seems to be up in the air from all the buzz around the web... LucasArts will be the only one knowing where the title is at right now," he or she added.

    I was happy with the rumors of Pandemic making BF3 too. Oh well, as long as someone's working on it still.

    I don't care who's working on Battlefront III.

    Just as long as there's a Battlefront III being made, I'm a happy person.

    It's probably going to them. It's just not set in stone yet - remember, Free Radical denied it too, up and down, even got nasty on the phone - yet they were trying to prove themselves for the contract with LA with that pre-rendered footage and concept work.

    Lucasarts may simply pass the title over to the boys behind Force Unleashed though. I wouldn't have a problem with that, if they can use that technology in a battlefront game? Uber.

    I thought this was fact? Oh well, with all the switching back and forth I wouldn't be surprised for them to end up getting it eventually.

    Lets just hope whoever gets the title makes a decent game. After Mercs2 i'd be sceptical about Pandemic making Battlefront 3.

    Whats the hold up for, there have already been next-gen sequels which are totally rubbish and there isn't a company prepared to continue the SWBF series... I don't what that says about the industry but if times are bad and you want to make a decent game for lots of gamers then Battlefront 3 is it.

    Why doesn't free radical do it? I mean they were working on it before and they were almost done?! And now that crytek saved their ass, whats to worry? My guess, its probably LA again.
