SWBF 3

[norm]

When (if) this is released what format will the DSA follow?
PS3
Xbox 360
or a PC?

Seeing as how this won't be released (if it even will be released) until Feburary '07 the earliest, we would probably be on PS3. A few of our members have expressed anger over the fact that X-Box Live charges money (which it seems like PS3 will do anyway) and the fact that Microsoft (the worldwide leader in bugs) produces it.

I would play the PC version if I had an actual controller for the PC. Sure LA doesn't give a crap about PC users either, but at lease they have the mod tools to make any map.

I say Feb. '07 as an optimistic date. Many games are left out of E3 because concepts and design are still going on and there is not enough footage to put together an exhibit. Or maybe the game is not even planned yet. But I remember the past summer, Lord of the Rings fans were expecting a sequal to Battle for Middle Earth at E3 and didn't get one. Around August, info started leaking and videos were shown on some fansites and finally in mid August EA had a site for it.

I do not think this will be the case for SWBF3. While I do think there will be another one, it won't be until the summer, I feel. Pandemic is in the middle of producing a sequal to Mercenaries, as well as another game. Maybe by the winter we'll have something about a SWBF3.

If the DSA and SWBF moves to PS3 I will follow it there.

[Master_Ian]

no matter how long it takes ill be on it in a heartbeat.

[Phoenix]

Especially if BF3 brings back Rhen Var and Bespin.

[RegentOne]

I agree with all of you. If DSA and SWBF moves to PS3, I will be there.

Me 2 the only thing Xbox360 has is Halo 3.

I ask because of all the rumors with the PS3 and the 360. Such as the 360 is planning a price drop the same day the PS3 goes up for sell. The 360 is holding out releasing some late summer/early fall games to release them on PS3's release date. There is also the duel blu-ray and HD-DVD players that are to be released. Plus the availibility of games for the 360 that used to be exclusively for the PS.

I think the idea of paying for online play is crap. However LucasArts left us PS2 owners out in the cold. That has made me a bit bitter.

This is why I asked the question. I will continue to support the DSA, but if I have to buy a PS3 I might have to wait to the first price drop before I can get it.

(you know justifing to the wife that I want to spend $600 to play videos wouldn't fly...lol)

man i hope there is melee attack like HALO and that when u kill ur foe and he dorps his gun then you can pick it up and start to use it and pick up rock beat someones head in

I would like to say that blackbagops is working on an update for the SWBF2 Server Manager. While he has said that crashes in game would have to be fixed by a patch from LA, we have seen progress in gameplay with AI with every new server manager.

If you wanna know when (or if) SWBF3 will be released. My guess would be the same date they release the Star Wars Saga DVD boxset.
Its the trend of LA to release the game with its DVDs to increase sales. Hence the rushed versions on the ps2 that are rittled with bugs.

unfortunately since the only reasonable version of the ps3 coming is going to around 600 dollars im gonna have to wait a while to buy it and anyways there will not be that many games for it when it comes out, but here are my ideas on what the game could be like:

so in my mind its gonna have all the maps from the old and new game, plus plenty of new maps, more characters that you can be with sweet new weapons and grenades all the heroes and a bunch of stuff only available for ps2 or 3 (depends on when it comes out) just to get back at xbox for the patch that will hopefully be available for ps2 eventually cuz that is just really gay. also in space if u get the transport succesfully inside and take over the command post in the hangar, the fight converts to being inside the massive ship like in the movie where they were goin for the chancellor. there will also be a campaign that takes stuff from bf2 and revenge of sith game so you are the normal troopers for a while and then u continue part of the story as the jedi, and it also has the classic global conquest and the new version of it, plus the old historical campaign and you can also do the campaigns online. there should also be siege maps where ur kind of like defending a castle or something like in lord of the rings that would be a massive battle, also you get to do the arena on genosis in ep 2 and there should be an all out massive battle where there are like 200 AI all on the map at the same time with like 5000 reinforcements if possible, It would also be cool if you could be on some kind of mounted vehicle like horses or somethin that u can actually shoot while riding like gangsta drivebys. in space battles they should make it more intense while out in space instead of just having like 10 ships in the air. That is what i think the game should be like so far, even if it is impossible to do, but mabe the capabilities of the ps3 will be able to handle it. That would be frickin amazing.


p.s. pardon the grammar i had made this a while ago on 1up.com and dont feel like going through and makin it more readable.

I think its going to be sold with a set just like Ratix stated but they should have underwater battles (if they release it) there are Scuba Troopers and I am sure the Gungan City and others would be perfect. That would take the series into the next step of battles. Unit wise it would be cool if you created your own soldier with weapons and its equipment.

I wouldn't hold breath on expecting to much from Pandemic.They rush everything and thats when everything falls apart.Battlefront 2 was like a water downed version of battlefront 1.Battlefront 1 felt incomplete,but it was doable.
Since we were on the PS2 non of us really got any addons because of our lack of hardrive present.
If they make SWBF3,then lets hope it doesn't come out so quick.Then there to I wouldn't hold my breath either.

And you wonder why so many games suck?:

When you have people that are more interested in making money, than making quality, we gamers will continue to lose.

They just don't seem to be able to take the time out, to actually talk to us, then properly implement that knowledge, once given it.

No one that I know, wanted "prone" removed from the game. Some soccer moms bitched about "humping" on Halo..Wow, we really needed a sniper that now doesn't have the ability to hide. Real life Army snipers are now told they cannot, under any circumstances, "lie down and hide".

And now all Military snipers are using special ammunition, that leaves a white trail, so we all can now know their exact location, as was said before, snipers shouldn't "need" to hide. Even though their job is to be "hidden" killers

Erm? 'nuff said.

We wanted "glowing" mines that even the enemy could see? yep, that's tactically feasible. The U.S. Army is now ordering hundreds of "glowing" mines, just in case someone innocent steps on them by mistake.

This new declaration by the United Nations:

Air vehicles are no longer allowed to attack ground targets any more!

Because, in real life, that would be considered "cheating", and some people might complain, that they're being "owned".

And all world wide armies are now required to make their weapons weaker, as we don't want to inhibit our enemies chance to kill us.

And world wide militaries are encouraged to use technology that allows their soldiers to hide invisibly in walls, and other places, and kill without fear of death. We are NOT incouraged to use said technology to stop this, nor create a patch that would stop said behavior. Even though that would be the right thing to do, we're just too busy, and lazy, to address this horrible problem. And no, we will NOT communicate with you about these problems. Please remember, these problems are yours, not ours!.

War should be fair!

If you don't like all these changes, well, tough. You don't have a voice to us. And we don't care. About you, or anyone else.

As long as we continue to make money, it's not our problem.
We're deeply sorry for the inconvience, but you'll just have to deal with it.


Yeah, right....

As a former real life soldier, this just wants to make me puke.
