"Star Wars: Battlefront 3 was in development at Free Radical Design, but it was canceled by LucasArts executives who found the project too costly, according to the developer's co-founder, David Doak."

This is definitely news.
"Too costly" probably means paying the programers, artistic designers, etc. more than a penny a week.

What consoles was this supposed to be on?

It was only in development. @Mickeymac I didn't know it was in development either... every once in a while I look around for updates on random games; today I looked for updates on Battlefront 3 and found this...

I didnt even though they were making a third one. I thought that idea went away when the company that did the first two went out of business.

This is news? I remember seeing a leaked video of it years ago, and then Free Radical was shut down shortly thereafter and there were a bunch of websites talking about the game being canned.

And here i thought it was already canned over a year or two ago. I guess not officially until now.

This leaked video? [youtube:j81I_-uaOqg]
I thought it was cancelled too, but then videos like this started coming in... [youtube:7Agl81F-Q4Y]
It's confusing... Did they have this footage for a really long time? Maybe they decided to hold off on revealing the reason for why it was cancelled until now...

No it means that the game would have cost a lot to make and gamers would have just waited for it to go on sale or buy it second hand.
