With developer Free Radical in danger of dying, details of their version of Star Wars Battlefront III are finally surfacing. It looks amazing, by the way.
Kotaku has unveiled a wave of interesting media coming from Free Radical in the wake of the developer's mass layoffs, possible shut down, and lack of continued involvement with the Star Wars Battlefront series. The most interesting, is a look at detailed concept art of a Sith-aligned Obi-Wan Kenobi. Although it flies in the face of all Star Wars canon, there's no denying that a dark, decrepit version of Alec Guiness's classic character is way, way more awesome than anything introduced in the prequel trilogy.
Oh, that is too awesome (via Kotaku)
Also flowing from Free Radical to Kotaku recently was this bootlegged trailer of the game, apparently taped during a development meeting. Featuring a high-res, new-gen version of the Battlefront engine we've come to know and love, this proprietary engine allowed character to segue from ground combat to Rogue Squadron-quality air combat. Development of Star Wars Battlefront III is reportedly continuing under the steady hands of Rebellion Developments, the developer of the PSP Battlefront game Renegade Squadron. The engine and the Obi-Wan render are Free Readical's property, but only time will tell if they adopt similar development ideals. You can watch the trailer, via Kotaku, below.
The next Star Wars game needs Sith Obi. So does the last one, as a matter of fact. The last three movies too. Not to mention the new TV show. And also the nov... well, you get my drift.

As for the story, I hope this game just gets moved to another developer. Actually, it will because the francise is very popular.

Wow, that game looks great; unfortunately that is what StarWars needs: a new radical change.

It looks like there is actually a story line. Also, I think they should go against Star Wars cannon, like with sith obi-won, and just make the game extremely bad ass. And as for the game play we saw I am so siked for being able to hop in a Space ship and leaving the atmosphere, so I can then go on a battle cruiser and blow it up, then quickly fly away to safety, so I can then fly back to the planet and rejoin the ground battle.
Oh and a hold on 123. . . . . 11th post yay
