Author	Topic: Where are all the SW games for the 360 and PS#?
Earthknight Registered: Oct '02	Date Posted: 3/2 8:32pm Subject: Where are all the SW games for the 360 and PS#?
	As you all know, the next gen era is well underway. And if you hadn't noticed,, with all these great graphics and technology advancements there's surprisingly hardly any SW games for the 360 and PS3. I mean what gives? Last gen there were so many and now with better graphics there's zero. Sure we've had Lego Star Wars and The Force Unleashed. While LSW is fun, it lacks the seriousness and greatness of previous SW titles. The Force Unleashed is just a poor excuse of a game and better not be LA only SW for the 360 and PS3. I mean, where's the space battle games, the SW rpgs, the Republic Commando sequel, etc? There's so much LA can do and yet they're not doing anything. This is by far LA most disappointing run in the gaming industry. Just terrible. We even have a SW TV series and they're not making any efforts to putting a game set in that era on the 360 or PS3. I mean, wouldn't you play a SW shooter with Rex as the main character? So much potential and nothing is happening. -----signature----- Master to jacensolofangirl2007 Our philosophy: We strive for a 100 in awesomeness.

	Lucasarts used to be great. It has been terrible for some time now. Its current actions are not surprising. -----signature----- "Question not the ways of the script, there's always a bigger fish"

	Does anyone outside the hardcore fan base actually care? How well received was the Force Unleashed among the casual audience? If it takes a brand like LEGO to sell SW games to a wider audience then it's in real trouble. It'll be interesting to see how well the Old Republic MMO does, but people will be sucked into MMOs no matter what the setting, as long as it's a good game. -----signature----- Xbox Live/PSN = MedievalSam http://twitter.com/lastplayed

	I mean in terms of sales. I heard it sold better than it scored. -----signature----- Xbox Live/PSN = MedievalSam http://twitter.com/lastplayed

	Yeah well we're talking about this generation of consoles. KOTOR was 6 years ago now. KOTOR 2 came out before Episode III came out. What's driving the SW brand now? Some CGI cartoon series? LEGO games? I honestly don't think Lucasarts can push it any further, it'll be up to other developers like BioWare to keep the interest going. -----signature----- Xbox Live/PSN = MedievalSam http://twitter.com/lastplayed

	But I think that's kind of the OP's point. This generation needs some KotORs and Rogue Squadrons. -----signature----- Personally if treating homosexuals with respect and dignity is the definition of 'anti-Christian' then I hope that Obama is the friggin' anti-Christ. - FIDo

	Sure, but there's nothing wrong with asking questions as to why there aren't any. Maybe developers just don't see the big money in it. Maybe they don't want to hand all the royalties to Lucas. Maybe that's why the BioWares and Pandemics moved to other IPs. -----signature----- Xbox Live/PSN = MedievalSam http://twitter.com/lastplayed

	^If every developer had that mentality we wouldn't have such great games. I garantee you if LA made an epic SW RPG for the 360, it would sell. It would sell big time. -----signature----- Master to jacensolofangirl2007 Our philosophy: We strive for a 100 in awesomeness.

	How can you guarantee that? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a SW RPG, but there must be a reason why LA didn't capitalise on the success of KOTOR. -----signature----- Xbox Live/PSN = MedievalSam http://twitter.com/lastplayed

	Oh I don't know maybe because they've become cheap and don't want to put up a lot of money for something like that. KOTOR sold big time and won a lot of awards. SW games will always sell especially if they are well done, which is why I'm a little iffed why they aren't making any good ones. If you don't think a SW RPG wouldn't sell on a next gen system, then why is it there's a large chunk of gamers(mainly those who own a 360) outraged by the announcement of The Old Republic? -----signature----- Master to jacensolofangirl2007 Our philosophy: We strive for a 100 in awesomeness.

	Yeah, KOTOR 3 would be HUGE on any system. LA and BioWare know this, so what do they do? Turn it into a watered down MMO to squeeze every last cent from the huge fanbase. That's why so many people are angry. But who knows, maybe BioWare will make a good game, I'm not going to judge this early. -----signature----- Xbox Live/PSN = MedievalSam http://twitter.com/lastplayed

If the KOTOR MMO is technically KOTOR 3, then that's yet another slap in the face to the fanbase, since many of them ere expecting a standard RPG of a sequel, similar in style and gameplay to the previous games, which can't be said about a MMO. I for one have never played one nor care about shelling out a monthly subscription fee to play one. As for a Rogue Squadron type of game: hell yes, What the hell is LucasArts thinking by not doing one? I mean, Imagine the awesomeness of the Ace Combat Series or HAWX translated to XWings Vs. TIEs (or even Republic Clone War era fighters vs. their CIS counterparts). A new, well done STARFIGHTER game would certainly be welcome. -----signature----- "Vi Veri Universum Vivus Vici (By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe)" -- V XBL GT - GhostRider1172

	I hear you. I think I have officially over played KOTOR and KOTOR 2. I tried to get interested in the mmo, but can't since my computer is a laptop from 2005 and probably won't support it. Besides, I think I will be lost in an mmo. I have bought Mass Effect, Bioshock, and Fallout 3 since TSL to tie me over until the next Star Wars rpg came out. It's been 4 years and still no end to the wait in sight. Throw me a bone here LA. Do any of you guys on this forum have any suggestions as to what rpg games are worth it? I am almost done with Fallout 3 and am looking for something to fill the void that KOTOR 3 left?

	Well I think Battlefront 3 would be the game to put Lucasarts back on the map, I saw the looked footage and the game looks beautiful! But apparently it was killed for some political reasons. I'd really like o see a Republic commando game done from the The CLonewars Tv show Point of view, that wuld really capture the audience of the youth and us old farts who still hang on! LOL Im 31 and my son is 6, he loved the clone wars game for the wii but got bored with it real quick as there arent many level or characters. Bring clone wars to 360/PS3 and it wil take off!!!
