Korodic Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Financial Issues? Is this a joke? They could have easily released it buggy, made the $ and patched it accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 The mind boggles, they done the bit that costs money and didn't bother with the bit that makes money, with brains like that no wonder they were having financial issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthFalcon Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 This feels me with a rage I didn't know I could feel towards Lucas Arts. I've played a lot of Star Wars games, and after the Clone Wars game that came bundled with Tetris Worlds on the Xbox 360, I didn't think i could ever be let down more than I was by that game. Thank you for proving me wrong Lucas Arts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korodic Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I dont get LucasArts... they have the opportunity to make really cool RPGs that could make millions, maybe even doing something like Fallout. But instead they would rather make games like Lego Star Wars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenergy Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 I still wish that they have allowed for another new Jedi Acadamy game. Or create a game with Sith protaganist that is not the Force Unleashed, or even Kotor 3. I just don't understand why they wouldn't allow it, even after all the money being raked in.

Rennn Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I know, this is massively disappointing. They seemingly deliberately took their chance to at least remake some of their losses and threw it out a metaphorical window. The idiots who made that call are the reason the company is failing... What kind of exec literally takes a virtually finished game and scraps it without even a digital release? EA probably would have PAID them just to put it on Origin, as fast as people are running away from that, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korodic Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Battlefront 3 would easily make GoTY over any CoD title... I used to play Battlefront 2 on my xbox 360 till I gave it away to a friend. >.> we NEED a third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracinfields Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Well it isn't the first game to get that far into development only to be canceled. SOE's "The Agency" after nearly 9 years of development and untold millions into the project and the game going into a beta stage where bug fixes and balance changes remained it was terminated and all fund and team members to remain with the company were transfered to Planetside 2 and Everquest 3.

JimboUK Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Well Disney are in charge now so lets see if that changes anything, they've already said LucasArts will be concentrating on casual games while third parties will be doing the proper games.
