Dinsey shuts down LucasArts

<< < (3/5) > >>

ackblom12:
In the last year? For fuck sake, the Star Wars studio hasn't given two shits about its fan base in 14 years at least.

Lupercal:
Yeah, to be fair Star Wars has been down the shitter for a while. And I'm one of those fans that thinks a while is (at least in terms of feature films) since 2005.

I'm going with the idea that getting old franchises to other developers will be a good thing, hopefully get those titles out of the stagnation that they've been dwelling in for years. Even the not-so-popular titles, like Indiana Jones, could surely find a new paying audience (for the old titles, that is). And since the prequel trilogy ended it seems like the company have had no idea where to go in terms of Star Wars titles. I can't remember the last great Star Wars game that came out. Jedi Academy? KOTOR 2? Battlefront II?

What completely irked me is that 1313 was apparently going to be about Boba Fett and the 2012 E3 footage was never going to manifest into a full game. It was going to be a TV series tie-in before that never got off the ground. Also, nobody seems to have noticed that I already fucking played 1313 apparently, that game has been out for 11 years.

Blue Kitty:
That's what I was thinking when they announced that it would have been a Boba Fett game. I also wondered how close to Prey 2 it would be.

But man, as much as I'm sad that we won't get another Rogue Squadron or Battlefront, we still wouldn't have cause they suck at getting things out. It was basically a giant vat of wasted potential.

Lupercal:
True that. Looks like I'm going to struggle to ever play Rouge Squadron again without getting a Win98 PC or something. None of the N64 emulators I've used have worked for that.

As I said, they completely lost direction after the prequels. Shitty Kinect titles, Clone Wars tie-ins and LEGO games were never going to get serious gamers to open their wallets again. I always assume when I play Mass Effect that it's essentially the spiritual sequel to KOTOR.

I must also mention how great the Episode I game was. The only game I can remember in which you can freely kill as many Gungans as you like.

Blue Kitty:
I don't know why, but I loved the Revenge of the Sith GBA game. Also, the Lego games were all pretty good, even the Clone Wars one, but they do the whole 3 movies, or 6, in one go so they couldn't release more.
