Star Wars Battlefront III coming as an Xbox 360 exclusive from the creators of GoldenEye

The March issue of UK magazine PlayStation World (PSW) made a surprising announcement in the middle of their Star Wars retrospective feature. On page 65, PSW states that Free Radical Design (the creators GoldenEye and TimeSplitters) is developing the next/third iteration of Star Wars Battlefront.

To quote the magazine: “Star Wars Battlefront III is also currently in development, with LucasArts having switched coders from Pandemic Studios - who made Battlefront I and Battlefront II - to Free Radical… Star Wars Battlefront III is listed as an Xbox 360 exclusive, but expect a full PSW review to before the end of the year.”

The magazine doesn’t think it will stay Xbox 360 exclusive and will come to PS3 later in 2007, which makes sense since Star Wars Battlefront II appeared on PC, Xbox, PS2 & PSP back in 2005. While LucasArts hasn’t made an official announcement yet, we thought this was too good to pass up on. Let’s hope we’ll hear/see more about the online multiplayer shooter soon.

Alright people I must first say after much thought and research that the xbox 360 is better in most ways than the ps3.ialso think that swbf3 should 0ome out ofr only 5 systems PC,xbox 360,ps3, Ps2 and psp. If u only have anything other than the consoles above I’m sorry but your either plain cheap or to lazy to get out and get a job. Look I’m 14 and I got an xbox 360 by my self.personally. I think microsoft did a good job when they came out with the xbox 360.unlike sony they didn’t have to rush it into production and the dead lines were met ontime. Because sony rushed I think this is wat caused the ps3s price to be so sky high and also because sony actually has higherprofits than microsoft did. I think in the new battle front u should be able to have more freedom in the capital space ships(like being able to steer them and use their main weapons not just small defensive turrets also as u rise in rank u should be able to order stuff and people around and it should be in context for instance if u were in space you souldbe able to order all your troops to get on the bordin crAft and board the enemy capital ship if ur A commander or something or on land u should be able to tell your troops tolay down supressing fire or take out a tank or rally to a certain point if your like a sArgent or above. I also think u should also be able to travel from orbit down tothe planets surface and bak again thanx for listening and comon people u don’t hav to cuss to get your point across!

Meorca: This version yes. But no one knows if the project itself stopped. It’s possible another developer is making it right now, but if that’s the case, then it hasn’t been announced yet.

ther has been news from 2 seperate sources that it will be outin in march 09. it hasnt been officaly announded. besides have u seen the leaked footage its brilliant. its most likely 2 come out for ps3 pc possibly 360 & wii but i doubt for ps2 cause the graphics & resolution shown in the leaked footage are 2 good for ps2 & possibly any hand held console.

You do realize Sony used longer time to make their console than microsoft did? Besides, PS3 is a stronger machine than xbox 360. but 360 has gotten a bigger crowd so it gets all the exclusives sadly. And the reason PS3 is more expensive is because it has lots more extra equipment built in. Much of the equipment built in PS3 has to be bought external for the 360 and if you buy it all then the 360 becomes more expensive. Besides, the PS3 has become cheaper now. The 80GB version is now cheaper than the 40GB used to be. I’m sorry but all those things you’ve heard aren’t true. There’s fanboys making up all kind of stupid arguments, and most of what you hear isn’t true at all.

Now about the article. I seriously doubt that swbf3 would be exclusive for 360. Battlefront has always sold good on all consoles. Narrowing it down to one console would severly harm their income and wouldn’t be profittable at all. It wouldn’t make any sense.
