sucks because 1313 looked pretty decent in the screen shots but can't be that bad since lucasarts was not getting it done either.

Still possible.

quote:

Website Kotaku is reporting that 150 LucasArts employees have been laid off, and that the games Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars 1313 have been cancelled. However, the representative we spoke to said that the company is also evaluating its options regarding projects currently in development, which could be licensed out to external development and publishing partners:

"It is worth noting that we are looking for proven external partners who can help us provide video games to our fans. We still believe in the video game industry, we still will provide Star Wars games, we're just looking at different models rather than internal production... They're evaluating everything. There's always a possibility that it [Star Wars 1313] can still come out via licensing."

Lucasarts hadn't made a decent game in a while. If Disney decides to license out games then they will do fine.

This.

Their last non MMORPG hit was what, Battlefront? And thats being generous.

I wish someone would release an updated port of XWing and Tie Fighter for windows 7.

And they only published games like KoToR and Battlefront, gotta stretch back to find the last decent game they developed.
