99% complete is utter hogwash. At best it was considered "Feature Complete" (a Beta, in other words). I distinctly remember the 1 hour long video stating that the game had a lot more work to be done on it, especially in the optimization area. All these things take a long time to do properly.MikeWehner said:**Snip**

They would be in all kinds of deep $@#& if they put what they had on a torrent. Illegal distribution, copyright infringement, that would break all kinds of laws and Lucas has teams of lawyers to deal with this.FelixG said:They should have put what they had up on torrents
They were getting canned anyway.

Sorry mate, but it's true. We've only got one side of the story. Battlefront III would sell, but would a massively scaled up version of Battlefront sell enough to be worth it? I have some serious reservations on that one. The Battlefront games are pretty solid, and they've obviously got a fan following, but it's no Battlefield 3 or Call of Duty in terms of popularity.gmaverick019 said:Zer_ said:Keeping in mind that we only have one side of the story, as anybody ever considered the possibility that Battlefront III was utter garbage?
HOW DARE YOU. Lucas arts deserves to burn in hell for giving this game the axe at such a late point in development. They wouldn't have needed a single cent on marketing as the game would've sold itself purely on the momentum from the last game.
OT: this sucks to hear about it being so far along and getting the axe, but meh old news otherwise, hopefully disney can find that data and someone with common fucking sense will want to fire it up.
