Battlefront 3 was 99 percent done when canceled

And I am still waiting for Battlefront 3, Republic Commando 2, and X-wing Alliance Reboot...why? because...

99% done and only needed bug fixing, huh? When such a promising project is almost done, you'd think that they wouldn't just throw away all that hard work and money by scrapping it, but this time they did so. It's funny, because you sometimes see games released that appear to be rushed and unfinished, but you also have your games that tripped on the finishing line and that often seemed like they would have been great if just given a bit more time and effort. Hopefully it will get revived somehow, we need more good Star Wars games.

One of the few last gen games I still play regularly. Lets see a HD version of Battlefront 2.

I've been praying for this game for a long time.  Now, I'm just pissed.  As a giant SW geek and a huge fan of the previous two console iterations of this series, I am very disappointed that I'm not gonna see a next gen version of Battlefront.

they were memorable games, on all platforms. Another is needed in my opinion a bf3 style star wars with the frostbite engine, zipping around on speeders like the old days :)

Just great... Can't someone just freaking release it?!?!?

News stories on this game are pretty tired. Honestly. In 6 months another person will say something, yadda yadda yadda. End of Line man.

if thats the case, find the old assets and release it, or leak it and let the community bug fix it, I'd happily buy a buggy beta copy and try to patch it up a bit.

This is terrible news...... I have looked forward to play this game for years!

It's often business and management that destroy creativity, innovation, and passion, IMO.

As many games that are released that shouldn't have been, this is one that I definitely was waiting for all current-gen. I played the hell out of Battlefronts 1 and even more so with 2. Great game. Sad fate. 

Why repost an old article gamespot? Trying to get the community to force them to release the game like what happened with mass effect 3's endings? Way to try to make us all rage like morons.

At this point teh game would not be worth the money, would be pretty outdated and wouldn't impress anyone, would be like duke nukem possibly all over again, though not nearly as bad would feel like it though.

We would deserve an up to date title most likely on the next gen so we can get the graphical quality and scale a game like battlefront needs to stay fun. I dont play them anymore they simply too old to be fun anymore, it doesn't age as well as games like mario does the challenge goes away and gets too predictable, basically need a friend to play it with ya but no one plays it anymore.

Never knew it was actually in the works to begin with. What a shame we dont get a 3rd game for that, the series is so boring now I haven't played it in a long time, needs a 3rd game with up to date graphics and more gameplay options.

Hasn't this article been published before?

Still have Battlefront 1 and 2, disappointed that I can't 3 next to it.

Since Disney now owns SW there might be a chance to resuscitate this project.  

Well, things like that never get cancelled for no reason - it's probably an overstatement.

Do I foresee a petition springing up in the future? If so, a case like this deserves it.

love both battlefronts, and hope someone out there will take it on him/herself to finish this game, we the community demand it!

Someone must have the completed code. Leak it out and let the fan modders fix the bugs up. Seems just to me.

For shame. For shame. Battlefront 2 was so fun it was almost addicting.

This is like waiting for a download  to finish after several hours of downloading, and when it finally reaches 99 percent,  power failure. Ha ha life's a B start over! >X0

Lawyers and the Man strike again...

wtf thanks for the slap in the face :(

this article is pure trollism. shame on you gamespot. now go and finish Battlefront 3 !

kickstart that s**t

now you are just torturing us.

At this point it would be a four year old game, so if Disney does decide to polish and release it, I really hope they do it as a digital download for like $20 instead of making it a full priced retail game.

Well, I hope someone ends up with the money to at least buy the rights back. Not sure how this works since I know star wars legal issues are the worst in the business. Anyone know if there is the possibility of getting it finished through kickstarter? I assume that "getting it finished" at this point would just be bug fixing and paying off legal.

Hey that's nice. If you need me I'll be slamming my head into the wall and crying. Battefront was one of the coolest games from last gen. Such a shame.

I was never a huge fan of battlefront having played 2 for some weeks. It always felt as though you didn't build - I would have liked to see a leveling, perk or unlock stat system with character customization.

KOTOR 3 rises to my mind - TOL is no substitution for what might of been and now will probably not be due to resources being poured into the online cousin.

We are most displeased with your apparent lack of progress, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY...perhaps this will be a new way to motivate them. :)

I hate this...good games, getting cancelled right before release...a lit more perseverance would have paid off, for everyone. 

I hope that now that Disney has Lucas Arts, they can actually spend some big bucks for quality products.

Lucasarts wants to shatter records and make more money then even cod could? ez Give us what we need. the big 3 KOTOR 3, Battlefronts 3, and Republic commando 2 do that and you will have more monies then you would know what to do with. maybe use it to hire passionate management. :D

so the reason we don't have great lucas arts games anymore is because of a management shift. o.0 death to that infidels

Total tragedy.  Sad to know that stuff like this happens a lot in the gaming industry.  Sucks even more when there are so many crappy games that come out instead :( *sob*

This chaps my ass.

WHAT!?!?!?!

this makes me so mad I can hardly stand it.  !@#$ing  A-hole big businesses; was looking forward to that game for so long, such an awesome series with such an undeserving end.

99% eh? GIve it to us, we'll do the bug fixing!

I really wish they never told us it was this close to being completed. It only makes LucasArts look worse while making us gamers agonize a bit about it. Whoever pulled the plug is a complete idiot. Even if they were spending way too much, didn't they realize this is a game damn near everyone wanted? There was a lot of money to be made. They would have got their money back tenfold. There has to be a silver lining here, but I can't find it.

Playing blops 2 and looking at the "bouncing betty's" which are carbon copies of the mines in Battlefront had my buddies and i reminiscing about how great a game Battlefront 2 was.... we need a Battlefront 3.

BOOOOO!!!
