Death_By_Smiley Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Disney has 86'd Lucasarts. We all know that Lucasarts has struggled to, by itself, put out quality games of late (Force Unleashed II, looking at you), but still a shame to see the company go under.

Tatile Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Even though I'm craptastic at any game that isn't an MMO or Pokemon, I was really looking forward to 1313. Perhaps they might give it to another studio to finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they will hopefully be licensing them out to other companies. Edited April 3, 2013 by ZeroFiveCommando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeH-DeVa Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 So many people are freaking about this at other places thinking that disney is stopping all SW games together and not realizing that LA has done almost NO good in like 10 years. It's all been outsourced for the most part which disney will still be doing just without the useless LA part of it. It is sad though as i remember being 3 years old playing star wars x-wing rebel assault in like 1995 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeH-DeVa Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hope so, 1313 looked good as did First Assault. 1313 apparently had really good potential and then GL came in and decided he wanted less "underworld courscant" and more "focus on boba fett" and took what was really amazing and turned into a new EP1. it's possible that disney has come in and seen the way the game was going due to it and is cutting losses realizing how much of a disappoint it will be due to the hype.

TeH-DeVa Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 What I'm saying in short is apparently pre-disney george lucas apparently decided to go in and make first hand changes to how 1313 was (which was apparently amazing) which made it less like epiosde 5 grade game and more like a episode 1 grade game. And due this disney may be giving it the cut instead of disappointing fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR George Lucas only now you will realize what a bad idea that was...(selling your SW legacy to greedy lunatics) Not entirely his fault, people have been ragging on GL for so long just because they didn't like what he did for far too long, things that people really should have just gotten over that happened decades ago...to his own franchise.

LukeSaberRattler Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Well we can only hope that this means we can get better Star Wars games now. Maybe they will actually license it to AAA dev studios and not back woods startups trying to make a buck off the name alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beniboybling Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Another exceptional product sixty-sixed. If 1313 never sees light, these sequels better be good. Gosh darn it Disney, I understand this has to be done, but couldn't you soften the blow a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctoglethorpe Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Another exceptional product sixty-sixed. Exceptional? Its wasn't even remotely finished and we've seen almost nothing of what is. Judging by track record, 1313 would of just been another mediocre game in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutanic Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) I saw this coming a mile away. It's sad that it’s had to come to this, but the truth is, LucasArts hasn't been producing decent games in some time. I highly doubt that this is the "end" of Star Wars games in general. As they said, they'll still be doing the licencing. What worries me more about Disney making a decision like this is if they do it to other arms. Disney has proven that it can act boldly, and more importantly, it will. I'm worried about the idea of them suspending contracts with Dark Horse and Del Ray. I know it’s just an irrational sense of fear, but with the direction the companies going, it wouldn't surprise me. If you think about it logically as well, it would make some level of sense. A lot of the books produced by Del Ray are post-ROTJ. If post-ROTJ canon is indeed revamped, wouldn't it be logical to suspend the contract with Del Ray? For a while I admit to feeling that such a decision wasn’t going to happen. Like some people, I suspected that what they would do is just “separate” both sets of canon. But when I see decisions like this, the reality hits home that this may not happen. Edited April 4, 2013 by Brutanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonBlack Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) This is definitely not the end of all Star Wars games. Actually, at this years E3, EA officially announced they are making Battlefront 3. So, it is more than likely that Disney will just license out Star Wars games from now on.

mefit Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The game is pretty much written and has all the design to go forward . With EA at the Helm its likely they are not going to allow this game to fade away seeing how its already on the path to finish if not finished .
