I just want something. I'd rather have this than nothing at all.

Well hopefully they give you something better than SWTOR.

Would love to see a Star Wars FPS using the Frostbite 3 engine.

[Buzzman]

Lets hope BIoware handles the Star War games.

[killgod]

Build a Star Wars game using the Mass Effect game engines as a template?

That would be welcomed.

BioWare give us KotOR 3 and DICE give us Battlefront 3?

Unlikely probably, but a good blueprint to start from.

DICE is probably going to work on a shooter. I wonder if BioWare will be tasked with picking up the pieces of 1313.

My guess is Visceral will get 1313. I wouldn't be surprised if DICE just straight up did Battlefront 3. Seems to be too much money there not to do it. Will be interesting to see if BioWare stays in the Old Republic era like they have been with KotOR and SWtoR or tries to go somewhere new/different.
