Details on Star Wars Battlefront III, TimeSplitters 4, Free Radical
– Leaked footage is real
– Leaked footage of going from ground to air space to orbit will be turned into a cut-scene
– Unclear if the project has been moved to Rebellion
– Wasn’t the development team’s fault that the game was taken away
– Might not have been LucasArts’ fault either – might be because of the economy and was an expensive project
– Game was in development for more than 18 months, was very close to completion
– LucasArts never told the dev. team when the game was going to release – Might have been because they didn’t want The Force Unleashed “contracting” with” Battlefront III
– Multiplayer mode was apparently very well developed
– Not everything from leaked video was single-player footage
– Critical reception of Haze may have also been a reason why the game was taken form Free Radical
– Timesplitters 4 has not been picked up by a publisher – consensus that Americans wouldn’t want to buy it
– More work from Timesplitters 4 shown to fans would impress – “The technology we were developing specifically for Timsplitters 4 was streets ahead of what you see in Battlefront III. Streets ahead. The art and the environments really are stunning. Head and shoulders above what you’re seeing in Battlefront.”
– There’s a possibility that Free Radical will survive
