I've always been a fan of the battlefront series, anything that lets you kill Ewoks and be Boba Fett is ok in my books, however, am I the only person who was slightly underwhelmed by the leaked video of SBIII footage online?
As i've only just become used to the novelty of the internet i still habitually use the poor mans internet, teletext, to get my daily dose of Game Central, generally they seem pretty rational and immune to getting excited but by the way that they described this video you would expect it to be earth shatteringly amazing (the only time that i can say that i was stunned into disbelief by the beauty of a gaming moment was the first time, many years ago, that i saw That FMV sequence in Final Fantasy VII).
The footage looks exactly the same as the last two, which admitedly is a good thing because they were great, but they don't look like they were pushing the boat out to create something different. The flying mechanics look exactly the same (slightly slow, pointless and tacked on) and the wrapping the grappling hook around the AT-AT's legs looked AWESOME(5 years ago, seeing it being used again and again is like watching your favourite comedian reuse old material).
I know i seem quite cynical about the game, i don't mean to be, I will definitely buy it on the day of release because i think that the series is entertaining, i just don't understand why that clip is getting everybody excited when there is nothing in it that we haven't seen already.
