good, i'm glad they can get back to the real coregames like kinect star wars dancing and TOR
I'm really not surprised. George Lucas got us used to shit decisions by now.
Fuck this shit, I used to play the shit out of the Battlefront series. I remember I even had a dream about getting BF2 directly from George Lucas before it came out. I guess LucasArts doesn't like to make money anymore.
[QUOTE=alien_guy;35725029]Cause there are loads of good Star Trek games.[/QUOTE] I'd bet you take that back after seeing this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5gVE_oA8ag[/media] Completely made from "Star Trek: Bridge Commander", from 2002, it's all ingame footage. It's a great game to mod, and even without mods, it's still great. (video uses mods.) I can name a few I still play. Starfleet Command 1, and 2 (Orion Pirates expansion pack) Star Trek: Armada 1 and 2 (RTS) Starship Creator (WARP II, Add-On Pack, orig.) Star Trek Bridge Commander Star Trek Legacy (I like it, only with mods) Birth of the Federation DS9: Harbinger (DOS) and The Fallen 25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites (old DOS games, I have the JR collector's edition) Starfleet Academy Klingon Academy Star Trek Online Voyager - Elite Force (Not 2. it's sucked) TNG - A Final Unity and New Worlds So you were saying?

we're probably going to hear valve cancel half-life 3 now

shit like this just proves that we're in the dark ages of gaming.

Well, amazing. They just lost a chance to make a few million dollars.

No Sandbox or Republic Commando elements. Also, it got really friggin' hard at the Asteroid Prison level onwards.

So Lucas-arts canceled it because they were not committed to spend money on marketing the game? Dumbest thing Ive heard. It makes me sad to know that somewhere out there, a finished Battlefield 3 is just sitting there.
LucasArts, My respect for you is gone, First that Kinect game, then this.

It feels like watching my childhood, Luca's idea of entertainment and Boba Fett getting raped in front of me. This combo of Star Wars and Dance Dance Revolution feels more out of place than making a game set in Star Wars and combining that with Cooking Mama, featuring Porcellus in the lead role. I am seriously puzzled though. If they are nigh on complete how can it possibly be considered a loss at this point to just invest in the last leg of pushing the game to release. I mean it's not like they have to market it to a Modern Warfare extent, the fan base for the Battlefront is huge enough that a wiff of a release date and the pre-orders will be stacking up. Fuck Lucasarts.
Meh. I'm disappointed that Battlefront 3 was cancelled but Star Wars Kinect is amusing to watch.
Yeah. And it's star wars, everyone knows Star Wars. I doubt you'd need to have a multi-million dollar marketing campaign to sell some copies tbh. Also relevant: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUanLsSvjmA[/media] Sorry for the shitty cam quality. :V
Damn it, I've been holding onto this sequel for so damn long. Battlefront never even did bad, it's one of the most acclaimed games they've released, it's not like it was anchoring them financially. Plus, the difference between the original and the sequel was perfect, new enough to be a sequel but similar enough to be familiar and welcoming to the fans. Hell, 3 could have just been 2 with updates graphics, a few new maps/classes, a new campaign and it'd be set. [sp]It's a shame this series wasn't run by Activision[/sp]

Wow, this cant be fucking serious, I mean, seriously? They stopped making BF3 for this kind of games? I know you need to try new stuff and shit but that's horrible. The game was already in the making for god sake! Why not just finish it... Why do this stupid kinect shit over BF3? :c Sometimes I don't understand companies.

[QUOTE=SFC3;35724779]Reason Star Trek is always better than Star Wars. Sorry, Kinect Star Wars is laughable, and SWTOR sucks.[/QUOTE] I can count the number of good Star Trek games, also the Star Trek MMO sucked too, no one played that lol.
