Cool! A cover-based shooter!

 

[Benstamania]

I'd love it if it were a Battlefront like game.

Cool! A cover-based shooter!

I hope so! Could be almost anything though. Might be a dancing game.

Perhaps, I only wish the ps3 would get an equal chance. LOL

I hope this is a spiritual successor to Battlefront.

I hope this is a spiritual successor to Battlefront.

Yes please. I'd renew my Gold just for that.

Disney has made everything go on hold it seems....a precursor to Battlefront III?! Thats cool to hear. Awesome screens too.

 

[Soapy]

Personally I'm glad that Disney is putting the brakes on a lot of this stuff.

 

[Donut]

I guess if it was not an idea by Disney. Its not going to happen

 

[Soapy]

I think it's less to do with that and more to do with they want to be full steam ahead on Episode VII and the new era of Star Wars instead of keeping one foot in the past.

Early gameplay footage.

IMO it sucks that both this and probably 1313 won't make it. Especially First Assault since it was supposed to be relased this Spring. I understand wanting to focus on the new trilogy, but why cancel an XBLA game this close to release?

Anyway...Hopefully they won't be focusing only on games based on the new trilogy. If so, it could mean we won't see a new Star Wars game until 2015 (if Episode VII makes the 2015 release date).

If everything is getting cancelled. Then I demand that The Old Republic gets cancelled as well. How is that still alive ?

They're only cancelling/postponing any projects there were in development before Disney bought LucasFilm. Besides...why would they cancel TOR? Just because you don't like it? I still play it from time to time and they keep releasing new content with the first big paid update coming soon. Obviously it still brings EA money, otherwise I'm sure they would have shut it down.
