Feeling blue because a freshStar Warsgame hasn’t hit the market within the last 12 or so hours? Feel free to cheer up with the above, but restrain the excitement: that image is from Free Radical’s cannedStar Wars: Battlefront IIIproject — a thing that has managed to stay lifeless despite the attention.
As usual, several more images of the cancelled game have surfaced on the Internet, courtesy of artist portfolios. Web siteX Cast Onlinehas a full gallery of fresh images discovered within, created from the work of Samir Battistotti and Allistair Burn.
The images are a bit on the skeletal side — in general, there’s no next-gen sheen or even hardcore textures. There’s a reason for that: in the game, Darth Vader decides to strip the galaxy of all its beauty with a large cannon that uses concentrated Force-power-stuff. He hoped to bring all to his side through visual misery.*
*Just kidding. Game was cancelled — that’s why the images look like Darth Vader’s face.
