If it were only in shades of gray or brown it would look next-gen.

it does. the trailers look great and someone was saying on GAF that the colors of the shots are off. Anyways, I think it looks pretty good.

I may get this

You know - I dig starwars videogames more than the movies.

don't think it looks too bad. i know dick all about this game, but the shots make it look like it could play like jedi knight - which would be awesome

it's hard to remain neutral about this game when you know that it destroyed Lucasarts

What?

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #10 on:** June 10, 2008, 11:30:28 AM »

uh, they fired 100 people last week?
and they're firing everyone else once this game finishes.
and then never making another game again.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #11 on:** June 10, 2008, 11:41:47 AM »

I somehow doubt that it's all related to this game, which will probably sell pretty well.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #12 on:** June 10, 2008, 11:54:26 AM »

You're right, it's related to the other games they still haven't shipped

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #14 on:** June 10, 2008, 12:03:13 PM »

Why would they fire everybody over one game? It's tracking well too. The only feasible reason I could possibly see is that they're losing huge money, but isn't LucasArts buoyed by the rest of Lucas' dumb companies?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #15 on:** June 10, 2008, 12:04:24 PM »

"We're committed to our internal studio," Lucas rep Margaret Grohne told Joystiq. "We're working on the next Indiana Jones game internally."

WrikaWrek · « **Reply #20 on:** June 10, 2008, 01:13:54 PM »

The original color versions of this pics, and the game itself in motion, look bloody amazing.

One of the best looking games this gen yet.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #21 on:** June 10, 2008, 01:31:52 PM »

it has a team of like 300 people working on it and is so delayed and so far overbudget that Lucasarts will never internally develop a game again

And their PR rep said they were focused on their internal studio

They didnt need their VP of Product Development anyway

It's a year and a half over schedule, and from what it looks like it killed the Indiana Jones game dead.

When you're my age, a year and a half means nothing :'(

Link to this info?

I've heard about how this is one of the most expensive games ever, but i thought it was because of all the tech and shit going into the game.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #31 on:** June 10, 2008, 04:13:01 PM »

the info is inside my head, based on my industry insider discussions with other industry insiders. however:

have you seen the weird mainstream press they've been getting for Force Unleashed? they got a fucking VANITY FAIR write up, for fuck's sake: http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2008/03/lucas200803

they're prereleasing an art book: http://www.amazon.com/Art-Making-Star-Wars-Unleashed/dp/1933784253/ and a novel: http://www.amazon.com/Force-Unleashed-Star-Wars/dp/1593078919/

and that's not even counting the comic book, the LEGO line, the RPG books: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Force_Unleashed

all of which are waiting on the game. which is 18 months late at this point.

look at how many people they just fired. look at the rumors swirling around that everyone else will be fired once Force Unleashed shipped. look at how many executives are jumping ship. look at Lucasarts' comments about outsourcing IP in the future. look at how big the team is, and how delayed it is.

it is a make-or-break game for Lucasarts. unfortunately, it appears to have broken them before it even shipped.

Er, it's not a joke. It's the same style message as they had up when EA Chicago crumbled, but aimed at LucasArts staff instead.

This game looks like a rental at best, for me and a lot of other people. If it had come out during a christmas season it likely would have done good numbers though.

Ew.

The trailer on the marketplace looked totally and utterly uninspired. Boring.
