They weren't kidding when they said the game was in the final stretch before being canceled. Just a bit of polishing and this would have been release-ready. Can't wait for the inevitable PC adaptation.
you're hella underestimating "a bit" the gameplay looks clunky as hell, maps looks unfinished, the ai is nonsensical, the sound design is whack. It doesn't need a bit of polish, it needs at the very least 6 months of polish.
@ Exactly, From a game development point of view, it's almost done. The last few months in game development are spent polishing and working out bugs. This is also the Wii version, hopefully, the PC version is much better
Tim in Engineering: "OK, so this report says that the game crashed when the tester attempted to spawn an AT-AT on Endor using the debug console. We don't load the AT-AT data in that level, so not a problem. (Clicks WONTFIX, selects 'Not a Bug' from the drop-down menu) And... done."
Had this game been finished it probably would've been considered one of the best Star Wars games ever. Hell, even with this leaked build and a couple friends it's a blast.
It’s actually far more revolutionary than the current battlefronts we have now. It’s insane how ambitious and technologically complex it was. It’s probably why it inevitably failed to see the light of day.
Ironically this seems about as polished as the average game these days. Hell, if they released THIS exact packet of data on steam for $20, they'd make millions and modders would have it perfect in a week.
Playing a leaked build of Battlefront 3 had always been a bit of a white whale for me. It's absolutely insane that this Wii build was even found. I can only hope that a team of talented Battlefront fans can somehow take this leaked build and try to "finish" it.
I knew someone who had a pretty rare build of the 360 game on their Xbox 360 devkit. Almost bought it from them along with their devkit, but ultimately didn't. I'm more sorry I didn't get the 360 devkit since those are hard to get now.
dice fucked up their battlefront so badly that the fans have taken to resurrect a dead battlefront sequel. imagine having 1 job and fucking it up that much.
Ahh, the Millenium Falcon sounds brought me right back to playing Rogue Squadron back in the day, this could have been the best Star Wars game of its decade, at least... Wild that it got scrapped, probably for going over time or over budget. So close, yet so far.
@@garful BF2005 wasn't even that great, I'd say 2017 got a lot more content and replayablity despite the lack of galactic conquest. What sucks is that EA sucks and had to stop development when the devs really started cooking
As an enjoyer of Vinny's streams, I found the cutscenes to be excellent. Loved seeing Oblivion Luke Skywalker, the Jedi backhand and the twerking Ewok.
A chat member mentions it at 10:47, but I looked into this a bit after seeing the initial news last month and apparently most of Battlefront III's storyline was repurposed into Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron on the PSP. You play as the same clone and go through the same general story, but pretty much all of the in-game cutscenes were either gutted and replaced with narration over still images or removed entirely. Gameplay, graphics, the control scheme, and the UI were also dumbed down a fair bit just to get it running on a PSP, but it still technically saw the light of day despite BF3 itself getting cancelled If I remember correctly, the biggest visual glitches of this build primarily affect the story mode cutscenes (you didn't set anything up wrong, they just look like corruptions for everyone and it's honestly really funny at times) and the modding community is working to fix those, as well as everything else that's obviously just unfinished
Oh man I was so excited for this back in the day, it getting cancelled broke my teenage heart :(. I loved the og BF2, such a great game, played the campaign over and over with friends.
Awww man, this is how i find out i missed him streaming this. I loved the Elite Squadron handheld games they put out that were basically this game but downsized. On the list of characters that will never ever be canon again, my boy X2 is super up there.
What an oddball find, broken and crusty beyond belief but also so much content finished... It's like stumbling into a wii-era Pompeii or something. Perfect for a full sauce
Please note that although this is still being worked on to be more playable, this isn’t really workable on real hardware. Devkits and Dolphin are playable mostly due to an increase in RAM, and until stuff is fixed or optimized then (if at all), a normal Wii couldn’t handle the game at it’s current state. Besides, it’s like 70-ish% finished of a game according to some people
the curse of free radical to make a bunch of great games and then be cursed to never release another game ever again and get stuck in development hell and then canned extremely close to release is just.... i'll never get over it
Apparently Elite Squadron was supposed to be the adaptation of Battlefront 3 for PSP. That *did* come out, and it's quite fun from what I remember! If you're interested in seeing what could've been, I highly recommend looking around a bit and trying the game out. Some key features from what I remember; ground to space combat, customizable troops (AI took on your squadron color), the general idea of the story of X1 and X2 (mentioned because it was pretty good, definitely more robust and involved as far as campaigns go). For literally any star wars fan, I'd argue it's worth the look.
My best guess is that it's permanently in some kinda debug mode giving you access to hero characters just to confirm they're working. That or they're stupid. One of those.
I'm curious to know what caused the "PLACEHOLDER SOUND" spam at 1:04:20. Could it possibly be sequenced music trying to play with all the samples missing? Or is it just missing NPC sounds?
@vinesaucefullsauce sorry to bother a bit, is it possible to know the what build of dolphine u used and the config to make it run so smooth ? look far better on your gameplay.
I do want to clarify that this was cancelled before the Disney purchase. My understanding is that they were overbudget and behind schedule and the higher ups at Lucasarts and supposedly George himself both weren't fond of the story and also didn't think it would turn much of a profit because there was probably at least a year left in development when they pulled the plug. That being said, I would love it if Aspyr finished this game. Ik the Battlefront collection was controversial, but their work both indicates that they'd probably be able to bring this game across the finish line and also that the LFL archives are incredibly thorough when it comes to old Lucasarts assets (and as somebody who has a few mutual friends of LFL employees, I can say that the things I've heard about their archives are insane so I do suspect that they still have everything that would've been on the company servers)

@@f10pped36Why do people keep saying Disney? This was slated for like 2007-2010, Disney bought StarWars in 2012.
No way really?
This feels like a stream from an alternate timeline where Battlefront 3 released and this is the sunday corruption stream.
Man I wish
Or! Maybe it’s just this timeline and this game was cancelled?
The constant crescendos of the lightsaber audio was incredible.

This was basically free corruptions before sunday stream, honestly wuite intriguing as to how finished the game was before it got canned
It was content-complete. Needed a whole lot of tweaks and bug fixes before release, though.
