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.
“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.”
Do YOU realize that the cheapest version of the PS3 is 300$? while the cheapest 360 is 150$? Plus, you get Halo and gears of war and more exclusive games for the 360. So don’t go off sayin’ that the PS3 is better, cuz it’s not. And who gives a crap about blue ray.
Anyway, battlefront 3 is supposed to come out Nov. 1st., 2010
