Pandemic, who was the developer behind the original Star Wars: Battlefront title, has denied picking up the third installment of the Battlefront series from Free Radical, who was originally working on the third game.

“As of right now I can say Battlefront III is not currently at Pandemic,” a company spokesperson confirmed to members on its forums. “While I know the title seems to be up in the air from all the buzz around the web… LucasArts will be the only one knowing where the title is at right now.”

Free Radical, last year, lost its deal with LucasArts after very public money problems, and when it got acquired and re-branded by Crytek into Crytek UK.

Update: Anyway, Video Gamer has now found out that the “rumors of Rebellion doing the Battlefront III project aren’t wrong.” So of right now Rebellion is working on Star Wars Battlefront III.

Update 2: There are alot more screenshots

Original: In the past months retailers have hinted of this game being in development, after all there was that big mistake that Amazon had listed this game on there site. Now, it looks like an ex-Free Radical employee has apparently posted some renders for the “secret LucasArts project.”

According to the official site of Richard Smith, who is the ex-Free Radical employee, the “secret LucasArts project” is Star Wars: Battlefront III, and he even had pictures to prove it. But, sadly the pictures were removed faster then they appeared. But, lucky we were able to grab the renders before they did the hoodeney. The renders are models of Han Solo and Sahra The Bounty Hunter.

Star Wars: Battlefront III ,as of right now, looks like it maybe a reality as somewhat states current rumors on the net. While it is in development at Free Radical, a Amazon.com listing provides that it will be launched on every major console. Everyone will have to wait until the coming up E3 event next week for the official announcement from Lucas Arts. This is great news for fans of Star Wars and it will also be a good chance for a new generation a chance to uncover the series of great quality gaming , so just wait you’ll see!

The reviews for the upcoming game by ubisoft, Haze, came in this morning and so far the game isn’t do as we wished.

IGN- 4.5

Haze was touted as a great PS3 exclusive from a developer well versed in first-person shooter mechanics. While Free Radical does have a solid pedigree, Haze does not live up to the company’s reputation thanks to a horrible plot, weak gameplay mechanics and visuals that are truly underwhelming. While playing with friends is enjoyable, not even those are enough to bring this lackluster title around.

GamersHell- 6.5 / 10

Ultimately, Haze is still sitting in the wake of Call of Duty 4, and falls into that category of being just another FPS. The game tries to include different content with Nectar abilities and rebel dynamics, but a confused story, lacking gameplay elements and technical bugs bog the game down from being a stellar PS3 exclusive. It’s worth a rental, but know that Haze isn’t a name you want throw out there next time you’re having a console-focused debate.

Import Tuner Magazine- 4/5

A new enemy AI engine guarantees that all enemy actions are completely dynamic, meaning there are no scripted actions, and gamers are up against a "thinking and acting" enemy force, so don’t get sloppy. Online gamers need not worry; there are a number of great game modes including a four-player co-op mode, the opportunity to battle it out as either a trooper or a rebel and the ability to unveil secrets from the single-player game. Haze is that great big shooter that the PS3 has needed since Resistance: Fall of Man was released last year. Haze gives gamers an idea of just what the PS3 can do.

We will be reviewing Haze soon

Today, on the UbiSoft Haze forums one of the Dev where asked a question and one of those questions where “Will Haze have a mandatory install?” the dev responded by saying “You will need to go through a minimal install (about 4 Gigs) but not the whole game.”

The game revolves around Mantel Industries, a corporation that has bio-medical expertise. Who developed supplement that enables soldiers to fight smarter called Nectar, but it has an effect which makes soldiers no longer cognizant of the real battlefield environment around them.
