[QUOTE=Zeos;35722270]I still find this ridiculous. The back of the Battlefront 2 box clearly says the [B]BEST SELLING STAR WARS GAME IN HISTORY[/B]
Do they not want money?[/QUOTE]
With how popular shooters are right now you'd think they would be jumping at the chance to cash in on the market that Call of Duty and Battlefield sell millions in.
Something's seriously wrong over at LA to can what probably would be a sure million+ seller, In favor of a mediocre MMO that will likely not break even let alone profit, and a Kinect game that was disappointing at best and a low point in the franchise at worst. Seriously, take a look at the vid in [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1179954?p=35721056&viewfull=1#post35721056]this post[/url] and try and tell me that isn't [I]Holiday Special[/I] levels of embarrassing.
I think Star Wars needs a rest. It has been constantly going for well over a decade now and it really shows that it's tired and out of good ideas. It needs at least a good 5 years of minimal activity (no books, TV shows, movies games etc) and come back with something big once it can bring fresh talent and good ideas into the franchise.
Star wars games have been dead to me for awhile
The one Star Wars game for this generation I would have actually bought, and they cancel it.
Does this mean that they might consider making a sequel for republic commando?
I saw the title, "Star Wars: Battlefront.."
Got excited, clicked on the thread.
Saw this.
[QUOTE=N-12_Aden;35721096]Yeah that change of direction worked out quite well didn't it? 2 mediocre Force Unleashed games, Kinect Star Wars and TORtanic.
So much better than Battlefront, Republic Commando, KOTOR, Empire at War, and the Jedi Knight games.[/QUOTE]
I want them to make Jedi Knigt game again :(
I wish they went back to making epic Star Wars games.
I would murder someone to get another KOTOR made.
Reason Star Trek is always better than Star Wars. Sorry, Kinect Star Wars is laughable, and SWTOR sucks.

What? It's real?
Star wars is pretty much dead now. That kinect game killed it. I have no hope for future good Star Wars games.

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;35725108]Are you sure it's not because they are worried that it might offended the Muslim audience?[/QUOTE]
What?!
Seriously... They are making a huge mistake.
I'm really hoping we will see it eventually, i don't care if it's just a graphical update - I'd still buy it.
The last even slightly good Star Wars game was the Force Unleashed (which wasn't as good as previous games) and that was 4 years ago. Seems like LucasArts doesn't want money from a game that will definitely sell very well.
I wish they would just make a new Jedi Knight game, those were kickass and simply amazing. Force Unleashed was not the same, I always liked the lightsaber fights and not the force.
Or something new like Shadow of the Empire, that game was kickass to.

This has to be the most hilarious thing ever, honestly that idea is just so crazy :v:
Although I must admit that it looks really catchy, I do not like these dancing games but this is really hilarious. Also it does not take itself to seriously.

Those are Imperial/Palace guards. You can see them a few times throughout the film series, as well as in the video games.

What.
the.
fuck.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :'(
I seriously love the SWBF series. I'm still playing SWBF2 with a friend every now and then, and it's so goddamn epic. A new game would be awesome. Fuck you LA :(
What was the last good Star Wars game? Battlefront 2? KOTOR2, which I assume was overseen by lucasarts?
Lucas Arts deserves to go bankrupt for insulting everyone who invested in them.
[QUOTE=alien_guy;35725029]Cause there are loads of good Star Trek games.[/QUOTE]
Hey man, there's gold like Elite Force II and STO and...and...
Well, that's all I've got.
The old Star Trek adventure games, 25th Anniversary and Final Unity in particular were pretty great.
Klingon Academy
Armada 1 & 2
Birth of the Federation
Bridge Commander
Starfleet Command series
The Fallen
I think there's not as many as Star Wars because the Star Trek universe is a bit more complex and harder to make an accessible game out of.

Elite Force 2 sucked. Elite Force 1 all the way.
And the Armada Series
Star Trek Bridge Commander
Starfleet and Klingon Academy.
Starfleet Command 1-3
etc.
