So does LucasArts actually make their own games anymore?
The last game they made was Force Unleashed and from what i have read they have pretty much gotten rid of everyone but a few people and are no longer doing in house game development.
Their next huge title game The Old Republic is a mmo spinoff of kotor and from Bioware.
I mean they scrapped the next gen indiana jones game only to give us a shitty game like the staff of kings.
As far as i know the last jedi knight game outcast was also developed outside Lucasarts.
I remember when Lucasarts was on the top of the pc gaming world in the mid nineties with rebel assualt 1 and 2, x-wing and tie fighter, dark forces. I'm sure their were none star wars games but i never played them.
They used to make game with stellar graphics at the time, great gameplay and they along with interplay at the time were doing the CD-ROM interactive movies craze, which origin systems also got in on with a spaceflight sim/shooter wing commander.
Force Unleashed had great cut scenes on the HD next gen platforms, especially on the PS3.
If not for the awesome cutscenes and amazing music score it is just a hack and slash game that gets old rather fast. Without the gravitas of god of war. Force Powers ridiculously overdone to one up the prequels a thousand fold on the laughability scale. Again we came to having sense of disbelief being hung, drawn and quartered rather than being suspended.
I will say the game was damn fun for a few hours. But it was too easy to complete and too short. Not worth the delays and wait of 2 to 3 years.
I gave up some time ago hoping for a real KOTOR III or A Star Wars Battlefront 3. Lucasarts will continue to put out prequel related garbage like that bad clone wars game which got bad reviews seemingly from everyone.
So to wrap up a long and extra long winded post, it is no suprise luca$harts is not the developer of the new monkey island games.
All the Lucas companies should do the same and have outside talents take over. Seriously If the prequels had been handed off to someone else they would have been better, even the bad animation clone wars would be better if farmed out to pixar.
Should Lucas just close up shop and just be a visual effects studio for games and movies,lol.
