Gamespot: Why SWBF3 failed

[LowfatCriminal]

Honestly what more is there to add to the Battlefront franchise? I understand it would be awesome if SWBF2 was glitch and bug free and that the graphics were amazing but what more is there to add, we have GCW CW, Space fights, and hero assault. A better much harder campaign would be nice but theres only so much Star Wars, and what hasnt been done with battlefront has most likely been done with a different, of the many, star wars game.

believe me, there is a lot more that can be done in the BF franchise, specially in the space combat area.

Oops...Pandora/Pandemic/Anemic/Boneric...whatever...Whoever managed to make a fun game last as long as BF2 obviously has, deserves to regroup and make BF3. They have proven a product that is successful...agreed it has had it's faults from glitching issues, etc...but good Gawd!! What product isn't produced without fault, that cannot be improved upon without experience and testing?? I say bring the producers of BF2 together, pay them some extra scratch, produce a good BF3 minus the faults of BF2, and press on.

Admittedly I would buy a BF3 that was just a non glitchy BF2, but not everyone would and in order for the game to be successful it would have to appeal to other people, not just the BF franchise fanatics. I wish people were still working with BF2, releasing patches, adding map packs, etc etc. Space combat could use some improvement and changes but honestly what doesnt in BF2. Maybe a 5-10 dollar star wars battlefront Space Assault game or something like that if your really wanting space battles, more of an add on than a new game.

what?? smart comment.... leaked or whatever it really is... I was just saying bf4 was actually in it's baby steps, which means that bf3 was not that far away.

[THEWULFMAN]

Otto is correct, SWBF4 was in the early stages of development.

What? You don't think Battlefield 4 was in production even before Battlefield 3 was released? That's not how it usually works for an existing franchise.

[LowfatCriminal]

Im just saying Otto appears to have "leaked" information coming out of all orifices.
I think you guys have your expectations to high, a new game does not guarantee a better or even good game. How much more can be added to the BF franchise? None of it will be original. It will all have been done before. I believe SWBF2 should be patched, maybe a BF3 but only one thats just an improvement of the first 2, not a whole new game. After that stop while youre ahead.
