Battlefront 3 on Frostbite 3!!!!!

Hayabusa85 · 05-06-2013, 09:03 PM

Most interested in what Visceral will do with it. D.I.C.E. will obviously make a Battlefield/Battlefront type game. BioWare have already made Star Wars games so they will either make a KOTOR type game or just make Mass Effect with a Star Wars coat of paint. But Visceral are the real wild card since I don't picture them making Dead Space with a Star Wars coat of paint

Not the biggest EA fan here, but damn I want some more Star Wars games. I say bring'em!

Thanks for the post, gino!

So, DICE to develop Battlefro-ahhh, never mind, beaten...sort of.

I'm happy with this news. I just hope that 1313 will get resurrected.

But I will take EA publishing Star Wars games over NO Star Wars games.

EA makes perfect sense for this and my hopes for Battlefront 3 are now renewed! Fingers crossed for nothing but good news to come of this!

Adam-93 · 05-07-2013, 09:45 AM

I'm really excited for this news. I think Visceral would be great for picking up 1313, given how they were moving towards action with horror in Dead Space 3. Also, DICE would be perfect for Battlefront 3, as we all know how fun the Battlefield Games are. Everyone was wanting them to do it a few weeks ago, Battlefield with a Star Wars skin, and now its a possibility! I hope somebody can pick up the license for Indiana Jones, as its been ages since we had a game of his.

I'm not quite sure why the internet hates EA, they make some quality games. I wasn't a fan of Dead Space 3, but Visceral clearly has talent, and could make something great. And Battlefront 3 on PS4 sounds incredible.

I'll miss Lucasarts, though, when I was young X-wing, Tie Fighter and Jedi Knight were my favorite games. I wouldn't mind a new Dark Forces.

This.

Makes my heart warm to know that Star Wars still has some life left.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I was cleaning out my computer desk the other day and about half of my old PC games are based on Star Wars. X-wing, Tie Fighter, Jedi Academy, hell, I even have Star Wars Chess.

EA consumes again. FPS star wars games. Can't wait...

Steelmaker · 05-07-2013, 01:35 PM

At first I hated hearing this news. Then I remembered that Bioware is under the EA umbrella and Bioware made Knights of the Old Republic which IMO is one of the BEST Star Wars licensed games ever!

I love Star Wars games and Bioware and could never get into Kotor. I still own both of them, they just...I don't know, I never really enjoyed myself for some reason. I actually liked Obsidian's sequel a bit better, but I never got very far in either. I'd play them on my 360 if I wasn't stuck with the 4gb after my last fat one died.

I know PS Move is considered "the casual ####" but I still want a Star Wars game using the Move for lightsaber combat or use the telekinesis to throw and lift things
