Star Wars Battlefront 3 footage leaked?
Last month UK based Free Radical Design announced that it was being put into bankruptcy and laying off about 75 percent of its team members. One of the projects that has been rumored to be in development was Star Wars Battlefront 3, a continuation of the multiplayer oriented action series from LucasArts.
Now a leaked ShakyCam trailer has hit YouTube that supposedly shows over 5 minutes of gameplay footage of Star Wars Battlefront 3. The footage, which supposedly comes from an alpha build of game shown during an internal meeting last November, is quite extensive (the video upload apparently happened 10 hours ago from a UK based resident).
There's both on-foot and vehicle gameplay shown in the trailer along with some story-based cut-scenes (heck there's even some Gungan and Ewok on-foot action). At the moment the footage appears to be the genuine article although we suspect it could be taken down at any moment. In the meantime rumors still are flying that Star Wars Battlefront 3 is still in development but at another UK studio, Rebellion.


Wow, some of those features looked awesome. I mean as an alpha build it was amazing how far it was, but when that ship took off from the planet and went up into space into a ship hangar, awesome.
Although I trust the new guys taking over, Free Radical really knew how to make fluid controls. I might have actually wanted to pilot a ship this time around as I never really got into it the first two games. Posted at 6:04PM on Jan 15th 2009 by sicsided
