BattleFront 3 Rumor

[The_Blunt]

I kept talking about this on LIVE while E3 was going on but I guess nobody heard me. :(

[Kamui]

I probably wasn't on Blunt, I would've heard you.

[captnjeter]

Oh, E3 was during my hiatus so I didn't hear about it... if it's not SWBF3, please let it be another Jedi Outcast/Academy game - I loved those games so much!

If it's neither... blood will be spilled! WARCRY!!!!

[Capthemfoos]

Lol, maybe...maybe...

If it is, I hope some BS studio isn't doing it.

LucasArts Continues Initiative to Revive Classic Gaming Titles
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – July 6, 2009 – Fans have asked and LucasArts has
delivered! Today the company announced a new initiative in its effort to revive its
classic and beloved franchises by making its games available for the first time ever as
digital downloads online.
In this first round of releases, ten fan-favorite LucasArts PC games will be made
available Wednesday, July 8 on Steam®, Valve Corporation's delivery and management
platform for the PC. Scheduled for release are classic adventure titles like LOOM and
The Dig and hit action games including Star Wars Battlefront II and Star Wars Republic
Commando.
The complete list of games to be released on July 8 via Steam includes:
• Armed and Dangerous™
• Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis
• Indiana Jones® and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure
• LEGO® Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure
• LOOM™
• Star Wars Battlefront® II
• Star Wars Republic Commando®
• Star Wars Starfighter™
• The Dig®
• Thrillville®: Off the Rails™
“This effort is going to make it possible to introduce a whole new generation of gamers to
LucasArts’ classic games,” said Darrell Rodriguez, president of LucasArts. “It also gives
more people a chance to play our games by making them available long after they’ve
disappeared from store shelves. We hope our fans are as excited as we are about our
plans and we can’t wait to share what’s coming next. This is just the beginning.”
This series of launches continues LucasArts’ new mission to revitalize its deep portfolio
of beloved gaming franchises.
LucasArts previously announced the return of the classic Monkey Island® franchise with
two new projects due to be released in the near future. Tomorrow, July 7, Telltale will
premiere the Tales of Monkey Island® game series on PC, delivering a completely new
epic storyline and swashbuckling flair that will unfold across five monthly episodes. The
first Tales of Monkey Island chapter is expected to release for WiiWare™ in the coming
weeks as well.
The Monkey Island celebration continues on July 15 when LucasArts publishes The
Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, a completely re-imagined version of the first
game in the series that adds updated high definition graphics, a re-mastered musical
score, and full voiceover to the classic adventure game originally launched in 1990. The
Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition will be made available on Xbox LIVE® Arcade
for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PC via
Steam and other online distribution channels.
Future announcements about the re-release of LucasArts’ back catalog titles will be made
through LucasArts’ Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/lucasartsgames.

What a crock of shit. However, if they are trying to re-stir interest in these games, very possible a lead up to "real" announcements. At least I can hope for it.

[Kamui]

Although....

And this is just the beginning. We know how much you guys love our old games. This little announcement is just a start. #LECSteam

[Capthemfoos]

Lol, screw em. They obviously have no respect for their fans, just the devs in their company that are "old school" gamers and like this kind of shit.

[Kamui]

Yea.. I don't even think they read the forum, and the Biggest SWBF3 speculation thread there. I'm going to hop off the computer now to try, and liberate mars from the EDF in Red Faction. I will think of LA when i'm destroying EDF property, and killing EDF troopers ;).

[captnjeter]

I like how they said "We know you love our old games" but the follow up phrase should be "because with the exception of SWBF, everything we've made since 2004 has sucked".

[Kamui]

There are lots of other surprises in this week's show from LucasArts. We haven't announced it all yet.

of course I wouldn't jump the gun so soon....., But a man can wish right?

[Gino]

This thread is giving me so many emotional rollercoasters. I can't take it anymore

[BOSS]

I already lost hope after reading "a brand-new original game." :(

[Gino]

Like I've told most of my XBOX360 comrades. I know when SWBFIII is coming out. I've known this entire time and sorry I haven't announced it. The day it comes out is the day I'm sent back overseas for a year and half to Afghanistan. So when I come back its just another old used up game.

[Kamui]

Gino, If you watch the gametrailers TV episode, You will see people asking the LA president Question, I'm going to watch it too because I heard someone asked about SWBF3.

[thedooku]

*Spoiler* it's a puzzle/platformer for XBLA/PC............yawn
