"I am blown away by both the caliber of the team on this project and their bold vision for this new 'Star Wars' title," said Geoff Keighley, Host and Executive Producer, Spike TV's E3 All Access Live special. "I can't wait to introduce our viewers to this game and show off the footage that left my jaw on the floor when I first saw it."
During the GTTV pre-E3 episode, Geoff Keighley travels to San Francisco for exclusive behind-the-scenes access into the LucasArts studio. GTTV also meets with the LucasArts' development team to reveal the name and concept behind this game and introduces viewers to the talented artists who are bringing the E3 demo to life.
On June 4, the eve of E3 2012, viewers will get to enjoy the live world gameplay premiere of the new "Star Wars" property during Spike's E3 All Access Live primetime special beginning at 10:00 pm ET/7:00 pm PT.

The live program will feature the industry's top press conference events, breaking gaming news and announcements, never-before-seen trailers and gameplay footage, exclusive interviews with the biggest names in gaming and entertainment and more.

Only says video game, if it's good hopefully it's on PC.

They should put more resources in keeping SWTOR sustainable IMO. That would make them more money in the long run.

Star Wars: Battlefront III, please?

I liked Battlefront and BFII, sad BFII had a short life span and basically no support (one patch I think, then went dead in a month or two after release, something like that, it's been a while, but it was horrible to see it die so fast). Ironically, I think that a BFIII game would suck... strange it's still the kind of Star Wars game I'd like to see, heh. If not, what else? Something maybe along the lines of Republic Commando?

By now I think Star Wars has touched almost (if not all?) genre and platforms that video gaming has offered in its history... I'm not sure what could end up "interesting enough" now. What exactly from Star Wars have we NOT seen in video gaming that we'd like to see? I guess that's a good one...

 

[waggy]

ohh i hope its a new Xwing game!

i was dispointed with SWTOR what a waste of $60

 

[Sulaco]

New X-Wing
New KOTOR
New Jedi Knight

None of those are going to happen, but...really, anything else is going to disappoint. Watch it be another piece of shit Force Unleashed or similar trash.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

If it's not xwing or tie fighter I could care less.

 

[nageov3t]

only thing I'd probably care about is a direct sequel to KOTOR2.

 

[irishScott]

Probably a star wars dance-off expansion with Britney Spears.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Let's be honest folks Star Wars franchise has been suffering for a decade, pretty much all the edits, first trilogy and games have been a disappointment.

 

[frozentundra123456]

only thing I'd probably care about is a direct sequel to KOTOR2.

Kotor 3 would be far and away my first choice but I have little to no hope for that.

I might be interested in a new Battlefront or republic commando game, but except for those hoping for kotor 3, I think the interest in star wars is finally waning.

Wow - really? Is this how a lot of gamers view SWTOR?

"Now that Star Wars fans have had a few months to soak up the glory of The Old Republic, the series is ready to move on with a new video game franchise"

I'm pretty sure they just mean the glory of walking around in the Star Wars Universe. But if that's meant as critical statement that the game was glorious, I weep for whatever game is about to be announced.

No, that's how a lot of game "critics" and "journalists" view SWTOR. Usually because positive reviews tend to benefit them in one way or another.

 

[power_hour]

Star Wars should just retire the name for a few years. The use of its name to sell crappy games is getting embarrassing.

SWTOR is a stain they need to clean first.

 

[0___________0]

BF III would be great, I can't play II because it has an issue with certain dual core CPUs (and I happen to own one of them), it loads them up to 100% usage after a short while and your whole system is locked up. I tried running it on one core, but I can hardly finish a game before that one is stuck at 100%, which drops my FPS to single digits, and I have to quit and start it up again. But I modded I for years, did all kinds of crazy stuff.

Republic Commando was set up for a sequel also.

 

[GundamW]

The article said "...unveil the newest game franchise in the Star Wars universe..."
So, it's possibly something brand new and not a sequel of any existing game.

 

[waggy]

New X-Wing
New Jedi Knight

/this.

I want a new X-wing game badly. i have all the previous ones and would love a new updated one.

Star wars:the old republic sucked ass. it was a major waste of money and time. IF they are going to put out that quality of games they might as well retire the franchise.

 

[nenforcer]

Rebel Assault 3

 

[Kudro]

Well if it's LucasArts developing the title, I wouldn't think it'd be a new KotOR (sadly). Got my fingers crossed for a new flightsim or Jedi Knight.

 

[crownjules]

Rock Band: Star Wars. Now you can play the epic music of Star Wars in your living room.

 

[gorcorps]

It's gonna be Star Wars: The Facebook Game

Watch, you'll see. If not that it'll still use the F2P model.

 

[thespyder]

New X-Wing
New KOTOR
New Jedi Knight

+1 please.

Oh, and New Tie Fighter. I was always more an Empire man than those Rebel Scum.

 

[yllus]

256 player simultaneous X-Wing game, please.

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

256 player simultaneous X-Wing game, please.

Hell, for that...Star Wars MMOFPS please, but instead of being infantry centered with air and space as afterthoughts, be space-centered with infantry tacked on.

 

[Gibsons]

This probably won't be it, but....

What if it's an MMO space sim, basically EVE within the Star Wars universe?
