[Rumor] It looks like there was a new Battlefront game
Modders are finding all sorts of information digging through video game code these days. Sure you have the DLC on disc or full roster via a demo, but how about assets for cancelled games? I guess some people already knew this, but apparently Slant Six Games was working on a new Battlefront back in 2010. It was eventually cancelled, but some assets from the project have popped up in a rather unlikely place. A Betagames.org user claims to have found a bunch of Battlefront images on the disc for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.
Thanks to NeoGAF, the word has spread like wild fire. Yeah the latest game from Slant Six and published by Capcom has nothing to do with Star Wars. So it seems strange that these assets would end up as part of the RE code. Maybe it was the easiest way for some employees to get the word out. Battlefront was being worked on by Free Radical at one point after Slant Six, but is now rumored to be helmed by Spark Unlimited. Maybe this will help create the buzz needed to get another Battlefront game out on store shelves. Here are those assets.

I have a feeling that this was rumored since Battlefront 2 came out. And now with Pandemic gone... Dammit, Sean! Stop reminding me of what would have been! ;~;

so this pretty much means slant six won't be making games for a long time

this will be a great idea to bring back but it need to have a good team on it and you know many will buy it and i would like to see all the cool innovations that can be put into the game

These screen shots look awesome. Its a matter of time until Battlefront rises again. It was one of their biggest money makers, they can't simply leave it alone.

I remember this. It was suppose to have galactic and planetary battles in one map and you could freely fly anywhere to participate in the fight. Barely an day after that, they got bought up by a new company who proceeded to f-ck that thing up by adding a loading screen between them instead. Then it was never heard of again.
It is in one of the very very old and amongst hte first of the Hard News episodes.

Why is there battlefront items on a Resident Evil disk?

Why would these be on the disc of ORC?
