Commander_Ducky posted:HMMM... you konw what? SWBGES doesn't look bad. it looks like it could be good. I'm still just mind blown that they only made it for PSP and DS. Also the story seems a little... not so good, and the fact that Rebellion did it is worrying.

CT-770492A3 posted:Clone-Army posted:Why they would make another handheld exclusive is beyond me. Business. Evidently they made a profit that was relatively significantly larger than the cost involved. And since costs are likely larger if they make a game for more systems, their marketing analysis team apparently concluded that they would get more from not doing so.

Clone-Army posted:Commander_Ducky posted:Clone-Army posted: That's the problem with LA, they don't care what the fans want. hmm... you know, i would realy have to disagree. So I take it you want Thrillville, Wii Indiana Jones, more lego games, more Clone Wars, more PSP games, and more arcade games? I was just going by the fact that they don't listen to their established community, don't really support their older games (just look at their website), and they obviously only care about money (which I'm sure the have plenty of). Personally I think the mark of a successful company is customer support and satisfaction, as well as making money. Not to mention how they've pretty much dropped their support of the PC. Yeah, they care a lot... They have nothing in official development that looks good besides ToR, and personally I hate MMOs. I feel betrayed by LA as a customer, especially after they pulled the contract and put Free Radical out of business after they worked on a game for 2 years that no one was supposed to know about.
Commander_Ducky posted:And just in case you HAVN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING ABOUT FREE RADICAL AND SWBF3: WE DON'T KNOW IF IT WORKED! LA wouldn't have pulled them for no reason. If they can make an amazing video game, they would. They arn't going to say: Well, you know guys, that game looks too good... we can't have a realy good game... soo... lets pull it for the sole reason that it looks and plays awsome. ok, i don't care how stupid ANYONE is, they wouldn't do that. the must have had their reasons.
Commander_Ducky posted: Wait: Rebelion made AVP games? And they were good? I didn't notice hell froze over... This AVP game, as it on the psp?
Commander_Ducky posted:"So I take it you want Thrillville, Wii Indiana Jones, more lego games, more Clone Wars, more PSP games, and more arcade games?" I love that sentence especially: I loved the Lego Games, Thrillville looks good, heard it was fun, but i've never playd it so i'm indiferent. A Wii IJ game could be realy, realy good. I don't know if it IS yet, but it COULD be. Clone Wars is pretty good. As mentioned by someone earlier, it has flaws. But it's still good for what it is. More PSP games? I dunno. Depends if they're good. And more arcade games? um... WHAT arcade games?...
Commander_Ducky posted:"I was just going by the fact that they don't listen to their established community, don't really support their older games" I also find that sentence highly amusing.They DO listen to their established community. People ASKED them to do Lego Indiana Jones. They ASKED them to do 2 more Lego SW games after they made the first one. People ASKED for a handheld SWBF game. People WANTED a new SW [MMO]RPG. Also, i don't know if youve noticed, but they're makeing a remake of goddamned Monkey Island. If thats not being awsome, listening to Fans, and Supporting old games, i don't know what is. Also, how is releasing old games on steam not supporting their old games? Go check out their website.
Commander_Ducky posted:"they've pretty much dropped their support of the PC" Ok, i hate that just as much as the next guy [if not more: I only realy play on PC], but first of all, it's been 4 games not on PC. 1 of them hand held exclusive, and one PSP exclusive, so those 2 don't realy count. So, who sais they wont restart PC games? Monkey Island for one is a start.
Commander_Ducky posted:"and personally I hate MMOs" Well, Many, MAny, MANY people, me included, love RPG's. II'm not a fan of most MMO's because of monthly pay, but thats the only reason. Besides that: the game looks absoloutly outstanding.
Clone-Army posted:I liked the original Lego Star Wars, but every lego game is the same with a different skin. It got redundant. Thrillville imo is a pathetic attempt at making a theme park sim, and Wii indiana jones got mediocre and horrible reviews (Oh wait it's a wii game). Regardless if a PSP game is good or not, it doesn't cater to the majority of fans. "Arcade games" the way I was using it was referring to the small "casual" or kids games that Lucasarts has spewed out like Lightsaber Duels, Lethal Alliance, or Jedi Alliance. Probably wasn't a good word to use.
Clone-Army posted:People WANT KotoR 3, people WANT Battlefront 3, people WANT a Jedi Knight game, people WANT another Rogue Squadron, people WANT a new Star Wars IP, and people WANT a proper new Indiana Jones game all a hell of a lot more than another Lego game, another Thrillville. I agree that they can't respond to everyones needs but the amount of crap they've put out while only making one serious effort (TFU) in the past 3 years is appaling. After their games come out, they basically forget about it and abandon those communities. They hardly even acknowledge their old games exist, that's why I said look at their website. Oh, so they're releasing old games on steam? Let me tell ya, I'm going to buy them all again and think "LucasArts is back on top!" /sarcasm I'm glad they made a new Mokey Island. Maybe they're starting to remember their older fans.
Clone-Army posted:The Force Unleashed, "The biggest Star Wars game of all time" according to them. Oh and Fracture, the only new IP from them that had potential, Thrillville too. Not for PC.
Clone-Army posted:I love RPGs too. But like I said I hate MMOs. I'm positive that the majority of KotoR fans would prefer KotoR III to ToR. Also, I disagree, the trailer was outstanding, the game has a cartoony look that I don't like at all. I'm glad that their trying to make a good MMO with a story and good voice acting but I'm passing on it.
Clone-Army posted:Well then they should come out and say something! I wouldn't be saying that if they said they had a good reason. I personally think LucasArts lost faith in Free Radical after the failure of Haze and pulled the contract, thus ruining the company. Your point of view is just as ingnorant as mine, FYI.
