Meepzoid

Let's be honest, the last time we had great Star Wars games, we were using PS2 and Xbox controllers. KOTOR, Battlefront, Jedi Academy, Republic Commando were damn great games for Star Wars lovers and beyond.

Lately it's been obvious what LucasArts has been doing with their IPs.

First off; It's clear LucasArts has been catering to the younger crowd of Star Wars (i,e marketing the targeted audience) Kinect Star Wars and Star Wars Republic Heros had no desire to actually be made but to sell to the parents who watch The CGI series or whatever way the Star Wars franchise is heading.

Which brings me to my second fear that the Battlefront, KOTOR, RC, Outcast/Academy will not expand, Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm/art.

Yeah 1313 is still made and we have no clue what First Assault is but I have a fear that the projects after those two games will be once again downgraded.

I loved those games (BF,RC,KOTOR) but I fear after 1313 is done, LucasArt will try to cater to the newer audience even though, ironically, it is Star Wars' older fanbase that kept many of the games and the franchise of Star Wars alive.

1313 is living proof that the fanbase is still there but I fear Star Wars games after that will see a major downgrade, similar to this generation.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this matter?

Dude What.

All I want is a Mercenaries 3 that has a story similar to Mercs 1. :(

Will never happen, though.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Wait, is Lucas Arts owned by Disney now?

Or is Lucas Arts independent?

Everything you know is wrong.

Stick with Battlefront 3 and Boba Fett and all will be fine.

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

LucasArts game logic: Wow, look at how much we made selling that game, and how popular it is! Now lets never make another one...

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

I hope First Assault is basically Battlefront 3.

LucasArt is a branch of Lucasfilm, Disney bought Lucasfilm.

Lucasarts biggest failure was not releasing Battlefront 3.

LucasArts has gone through plenty of people at the top of management, and everyone believes that is why they have abandoned their successful IPs. Like most people, I have no faith in LucasArts ever going back to their older franchises.

And republic commando. That was the only game I played other than Halo on the Xbox.

All we can do is wait.

We know literally nothing on what direction Disney is planning on taking the Franchise. Hopefully it's in a good direction, but I wont be certain until I come out of that theater in three years.

I want an Armed and Dangerous 2..

One can only dream :(

I am a monument to all your sins.

Force Unleashed was decent enough. Obviously it was nothing compared to Battlefront, KOTOR, and republic commando, but still the only title to call 'good enough' in recent years. (when compared to stuff like Kinect Star wars, The Force Unleashed 2, and much much more)

There is just something epic about pistols.

This hits on a much deeper point. I personally believe that it was never the Jedi and Sith that drew people into Star Wars, but the universe in general. With the new trilogy came a sensibility that the Force, Jedi, and Sith were the focus of the story. If you look at the older movies, this is not the case. The focus was always the narrative and the battle against oppression. The Jedi arc was just a nice touch that gave the story originality and depth. Take the Force and space away and it is just the heroes journey story arc.

False, SWTOR was equal in fail.
