Just Cause was really, really fun. Utterly broken, but fun. See, the developers at Avalanche Studios were kinda pressed for time, so were forced to push out a half finished game; All the trees were 2D, the campaign was short, some missions couldn’t be completed, and various bugs destroyed any hope of the game being put into the Halls Of Fame.

Posted in Lucasarts with tags on December 13, 2009 by James Love

Casting director Chris Marazzo has confirmed to Battlefront 3.net that he has been working with Lucasarts on Battlefront 3. When questioned on the matter, he gave the following response:

“Thanks for getting in touch. The Original Title was Battlefront 3 but it evolved into Star Wars Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. However Battlefront 3 is also in development. It was by far the most fun and coolest casting I ever worked on.”

The site member who questioned Marazzo also said “he may be able to dig me up some Battlefront 3 storyboards, by the end of the week” too, so keep your eyes peeled for that. If you have a peek at his portfolio, it states that he has “cast over 200 Commercials and various projects… including most recently STAR WARS: Battlefront 3 with Lucas Arts”.
