RIP LucasArts

I loved Full Throttle sooooooooo much when I was a kid. One of the best adventure games I've ever played (apart from The Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island).

Well, I'm referring to Moviebattles 2 for JKA. It pretty much feels like they bypassed everything that was hardcoded. Plus the game itself had great mod support.

To be more precise, I don't know what else they could possibly code to considerably improve the immersion. Perhaps improve the code for JKA itself and create a stabler client etc, but beyond that I'm clueless.

Only time will tell anyway.

MB2 was such a great mod, spent years of my life addicted to it. B13 to B19! Shame the mod just lost player base slowly over time. Having played every jediknight game from dark forces to academy, I have to say it's an even bigger shame such a great series went by the wayside.

EA acquires exclusive Star Wars game license

 Bioware + DICE (Battlefield devs) + Visceral and Frostbite 3 engine for new games. Sounds like a good chance for Battlefront 3.

Wow, that's fantastic news.
I can't wait for Call of DutyBattlefield: Star Wars from DICE and Star Wars: Generic MMO #4512 by Bioware.

Ready for the yearly release of Call of the Knights of the Old Battlefront?  Which ending will you choose? Blue, red or green? 

The best part will be when you pay a full-game price for 70% of a game and then have to acquire the rest through micro-transactions.

And now for some fun facts!
Fact 1
Fact 2

Pay attention to the Second Fact. Amount of Developers not associated with a publisher...low.

[zagibu]

It actually says only 24% of the surveyed worked with a publisher on their last game.

Great news. EA can be terribad but they have their moments. Lucas Arts was huge can of fail for last 15 years, EA needs to try hard to get on their level.

Hopefully, one day I'll get to play Dark Forces III.

But they need to go back to the roots and ignore new age Clone Wars bullshit and everything that comes with it.
