Impressive Battlefront 3 Tech May Never See Light of Day
Written Friday, January 16, 2009 by Dan Webb
An ex-employee of Free Radical today told Spong that the impressive Battlefront 3 footage we posted yesterday was in fact legit, but chances are that version may never see the light of day.
The tech in yesterday's video showed off some pretty impressive transition capabailities, but the former employee states that they won't be included in the final game. He states "It's genuine. However, it's my understanding that the game's been passed to a new developer, but the tech that allowed you to fly from the ground, to air, to orbit, to space dies with Free Radical's involvement. The new developer will be making it a cutscene every time you want to transition from ground to space."
If you missed the footage yesterday, check it out here, but don't get your hopes up too high, the finished product seems like it could be totally different to that on show.
