Free Radical was a British game studio of ex-Rare devs best-known for the TimeSplitters series, and almost as well-known for the disastrous flop of PlayStation 3 exclusive Haze. Free Radical went bankrupt shortly after releasing Haze, but the death blow might've really come from the cancellation of Star Wars: Battlefront 3, an ambitious game intended to mix on-ground strategy with spacefaring dogfights: You controlled your character on the surface in gigantic battles, but could hop in a ship and zoom up into space. The above video is a leaked internal showreel from 2008.
Free Radical was several years into development when it decided the project needed a delay, went to LucasArts, and discovered that LucasArts would rather cancel the game and cut its losses. It was a brutal decision, especially considering the cancellation came when Battlefront 3 was "2 yards from the finish line," one of the former developers said this week. "An absolute crime."
