Default Lucasarts shut down
http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/s...rts_150959.asp

...I'm in shock. Pretty much all that'll be left is the licence for games. The fact that they also shut down all current projects is worrisome as well. No word if it'll affect the movies though.

Did they had any other projects going that weren`t star wars based?

Yeah this is kinda sudden... but quite frankly? As far as studios go, i`ve seen greater teams than lucasarts bite the dust. And when was the last Star Wars licensed game that was genuine good? Not just "fun for a little while" ?

So far this seems only focused on their games division... now, does that affects the Old Republic MMO?

To be fair, the golden age of LucasArts was in the 90s when point n click adventures & the x-wing / tie fighter series were at their strongest. Since then it has been in an inevitable downward spiral.

I'm honestly surprised it lasted as long as it has, really. Sad news but long overdue news.

They're wholly responsible for "I'm Han Solo." Off with their heads!

[Also they haven't made a decent game in like 15 years]

I'm mostly just disappointed about 1313 being canceled, since it looked interesting.

I don't know why anyone is bothered by this. All the talent had moved on before there was even a PC in my house. Day of the Tentacle was one of the first games my brother bought, and that was at least 5 years after it had been made.

My only game that I cared for that had much to do with Lucasarts was KotoR2, which they fucked over and nearly ruined. So uh yeah. A man cannot escape his karma I guess?

Yeah, it's been a long while since Lucasarts has produced any decent games in house, or anything that wasn't a Star Wars or Indiana Jones title. It's hardly a loss, as most of the real talent moved to Doublefine & Telltale.
