lol, half a second into the vid and I knew exactly what it was.
Yes, that video is real. However, it is footage from the development of BF3 by Free Radical. During the development of the game Free Radical was hit by the world wide economy crash and thus went out of business, and they took their work on BF3 with them.
The current state of BF3 is unknown as LucasArts has shown no interest in restarting the development of the game, and no developer has claimed ownership of the title.

Slant Six is rumored to be making Battlefront: Online. Which I seriously hope LA is not trying to pass off as BF3. I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and Star Wars games because of the stories, if LA tries to pull an online only shooter I'm not likely to buy it. It's mainly the story of BF2 that makes me like it more then the first, I loved going through story mode and getting a huge amount of background information on the Clones during the two major wars of the Rise of the Empire and Rebellion eras.

Yes, the footage was awesome. But that footage and game are long dead and gone. It's already been confirmed by both LA and Free Radical that all of the work that was done on BF3 and the technology that allowed for seamless ground to space flight died with Free Radical.
As for the need for a blockbuster hit, you're correct, but I personally don't see Battlefront: Online as even having the potential of doing that. What they need to do is build a game with a solid story and campaign mode that's at the very least equal to the quality of BF2, then improve upon the gameplay from BF1 and boost the graphics quality to contend with all the other games currently being released. Fre Radical's work on BF3 was an amazing attempt at this, but sadly they never had the opportunity to finnish it.
Man this footage is old lol, but yeh if Slant Six is picking up to make Battlefront 3 they have alot to prove. But if it is being made by then it might be a PS3 Exclusive since their work has been on the Sony Platforms. But they have to prove themselves alot since their Socom work is not that great.
