Star Wars Battlefront III Coming To Wii In 2009

As well as Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, DS, PSP, and PlayStation 2. Let's hope it's not just a PS2 port. I really enjoyed the second one and and playing online (hopefully there will be the option) would be tons of fun.

Amazon.com has a release date of March 15, 2009.

I have a feeling we're all going to be really disapointed.

I'm right there hoping with you though man.

If this is true then I'm:

1) exited its coming to wii

2) worried the wii-version will be a ripp off of a striped 360 version...

Please make it good...

how come you cant buy it for comp? I'm confused or is not coming for comp?pvtdonut54

When I got a Wii, I said "This would be awesome for a Battlefront-like game."

Awesome.

If this is true then I'm:

1) exited its coming to wii

2) worried the wii-version will be a ripp off of a striped 360 version...

Please make it good...

Battlefront 1 and 2 were good games made by Pandemic

Battlefront 3 is being made by Free Radical. I personaly dont like the Timespliters games that much and i heard that Haze isnt all that great just another ok shooter. I dont want Battlefront to be just another shooter. Plus with how much Battlefront 3 covering every importaint battle in the movies. Theres nothing left. They can add some of the maps from the 1st game add some space battles that were left out and add the Battle Of Geonosis from within the colosium walls like in Attack of the clone. the only thing left is to make up stuff up

If it has that mode that Battlefront II had I am sold.

Not sure what the mode was, but you were in a big sandy city, and just about every Star Wars Jedi in existence was around(including multiplayer people, if you had them), and you could kill them all.

The mode seemed kind of pointless, the AI wasn't very good(you could kill the Jedi in 4 hits), but it was a ton of fun since the world was so large.

I'll buy it.

Ok despite what people think Battlefront could be totally awsome on Wii if Lucas Arts was smart.

Let me lay out some of my ideas.

1. PLease push the visuals tot he max

2. PLease use the IR as much as possible and cleverly apply the motions.

3. If there was ever a Star Wars game that could totally use 1 to 1 control with the lightsaber its this. Think about it the level of control is minimal because your not supposed to focus on one soldier. The control of the Jedis was horrible in the 2nd one. THey could use 1 : 1 motion controls when you are a Jedi and it would work much better than the control scheme they had before.

4. Use the DS connection in some way I know that extra screen could really be put to use.

5. PLease have a robust online

This game cant just be a port that would be so lame.

Why because it's on other consoles? Pandemic did a great job putting Battlefront2 on all the consoles, I don't see why they'd fail here. Plus it'll have online, and the BF games are really good.

Lucasarts, send Factor 5 a fruit basket and a video of the Battle of Coruscant from episode 3.

I do not have a wii.....But I should get one this month =-).....I have a ps2 witch is getting old so I want to upgrade....I have battle front 2 for the ps2 and i was excited when I say this thread....So then I can play a star wars battle front on the wii =-)....But since I dont have a wii explain to me what you mean by ps2 port for the wii.......I have no idea what a ps2 port lolps2robot

A port is basically the same exact game. The only difference on the Wii is slightly different programming for the controls. The worst part about a port for me is the graphics. The Wii has some pretty good power behind it, but it is rarely used. It can't handle the PS3 or 360 games so you can't port games from those systems. However, PS2 games it can handle. So a PS2 port on a Wii is the basically the same exact game that is on the PS2 exact with different controls. So the issue is why have waste your money on a Wii when you are just using PS2 technology?

Good point, the wii measures up like this to other systems in terms of graphical potential!

Wii is 150% of a PS2
Wii is 200% more powerful than a Gamecube (although nintendo tries to say less which isn't helping their case)
Wii is 134% of an Xbox
Wii is 40-60% of a PS3 (with cell chip this is even lower)
Wii is 65% of a Xbox 360

But why has noone even mentioned the Wii's great load times?.........pessimistic jerks!

And ports for the wii need I MEAN NEED, graphical updates! We're gettin it with Tales of SYmphonia: Dawn of the New World/Knight of Ratatosk (that's the name of that tree stupid)
But what about other ports?

I have the answer why not, and it's very simple! Because unless a game is a director's cut and actually 30% or more reworked by a Nintendo First Party Dev team along with the original creators of the game, all they are allowed to do is make a straight port, with a couple extra minutes of gameplay here and there.

Nintendo, tries VERY HARD to maintain an image.........which is pissing me off now! Because they don't have the concept approval like other games, (you can read about that in June's issue of gamepro magazine if you don't believe me)

[QUOTE="webbut"]What does it matter its gunna suckVexx88

the characters "PS2" have crept up again.

Hopefully this will game will be great. The fact that Free Radical made Haze worries me a bit, though.eab444

Haze was an FPS.........but still free radical............damn this game will suck on all systems!

BTW PEOPLE!

Are you forgetting: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.........youtube will be flooded with stupid vids! I wish once we didn't have "swing nunchuck down and wii remote counterclockwise" just some real "swing the remote however the hell you like it" and "use the nunchuck and those buttons however the hell you want to use the force"

WTF are u guys all talkin about! the Timesplitters games were sweet! i personally am happy that they got free radical makin the new battlefront game (even though i had no problem w/ the way the other company made battlefront 2)

Those numbers are way off. The original Xbox is slightly more powerful than the Wii and the Wii is only 1.75x the power of the GC. TheWii is not even a third of the power of the 360 and PS3.

Thats not even whats wrong with the numbers. The PS2 was the weakest hardware of last gen and thats a fac. Both the Gamecube and the Xbox was more powerfull then the ps2. So to say that the Wii is 200% of gamecube and only 150% of PS2 is stupid and wrong he noes nothing about about hardware

why do you keep answering my forms?RachetandClank

lolwut?

I posted those numbers to get a reaction!

But the Gamecube and Wii are still the weakest power-wise!

BTW did you read your message? talkin bout...I "noes" nothing? And I don't have "facs" about whats more "powerfull"!

Really you just made me look smarter, and I hardly use correct grammar. But I digress .....webbut(lol u are the eggman)

You guys wanna argue more about stuff you need more research about please......HESITATE!

sorry but arguably the GC was the most powerful last gen. It had the best looking games and could do some amazing things if developed properly. PS2 was not stronger if thats what you really think, I cant really tell though.

To say the PS2 was a stronger system then the Gamecube is...well, wrong.

Gamecube was in second place last generation.

GC was stronger than the PS2, however, the PS2 got really good games because THEIR DEVELOPERS ACTUALLY PUSHED THE CONSOLE!!! now, the wii is not going anywhere until stupid producers stop porting PS2 games. An example of a good developer is Krome Studios who grabed the PS2 version of the force uneashed and like ultra overhawled it with better graphics and extra features and stuff. Im just hoping the wii version of Battlefront iii has better graphics than the PS2 and a solid online

Now, Battlefront iii could do with:

1) More heroes and better jedi combat

2) more campaigns perhaps one for each army

3) More and better space battles like perhaps fighting around the Death Star and having better flagships and stuff.

4) Good online multiplayer.

5) More stages perhaps fusing space battles with land battles like you had in Battlefront i.
