Leaked Star Wars Battlefront III Footage

rambo_ando writes "GameSpot UK journalist Luke Anderson received a tip from an anonymous tipster and Free Radical Design employee today who wanted to show off internal video of Battlefront III , which the games studio, now under administration, has lost the rights to develop. The source, a confirmed Free Radical employee, said of the game, 'it was going to be the best ever.' The five-minute video features gameplay of Stormtroopers, Ewoks, Tauntauns, The Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighters, A-Wings and what looks to be Boba Fett's ship, Slave I — as well as a prominent FRD logo watermark throughout. According to the person who posted the video on YouTube, 'this video was taken in an internal show-and-tell Alpha meeting back in November.'"

    See what happens when you get management involved? They shut down your pet projects and tell you to do stuff that makes money! As if money were important! Pssshaw!

    Direct Link to the Youtube Video (larger when viewed on Youtube directly).

    The blog doesn't add additional details to the video, so you may as well skip the inevitable wordpress collapse. Seems like this guy was trying to generate some publicity for his new site (9 posts total).

    That was said about SWBFII, too, but then it came out with only one single-player campaign.
