I know right. What does that even mean?

It got shelved because Lucas couldn't negotiate with cable studios to the point where it would be economically feasible to make the show.

I want this game to be good. I really, really do. I miss the days when Star Wars games were top quality.

Kyle Katarn says you're wrong.
I sort of agree. Lightsabers are great but they are the fan solution to every problem that the series has.
Kyle Katarn spent one game and the a good chunk of another without a light saber says you're partially wrong.
Yep. I guess I'm an outlier but my favorite Katarn game is actually the original Dark Forces (due in large part to how non-linear and maze-like the levels are). I bought the huge Jedi Knight bundle on Steam for nostalgia and that's the only one I actually completed.

Oh. In that case Jaden Korr says you're wrong.
And I can't believe I remembered his fucking name.
And those parts were the most boring in the franchise.

Star Wars 1313 may be an epic, awe-inspiring, action-packed, visceral thrill ride, but does it have a compelling narrative that is badass and also packed with enough feels to be an Oscar-quality dramatization of the human condition in the tradition of award winning interactive entertainment experiences such as Grand Theft Auto IV and Lego Harry Potter?
If it's half as good as KOTOR, I'm sold.
This is the number one trending search on Yahoo right now. I found that interesting.
THIS. I said this 7 pages ago!

And then they release a lazy cash-in sequel that's 5 hours long and ruins the series.
that how the creative industry works. You rarely stay on until retirement anywhere,especially a game.
SotE's opening level on N64... so good. I still remember seeing it for the first time like it was yesterday.

That's the thing no one talks about. Capitalists love relatively high employment because it reduces labor's bargaining power.
My hopes aren't too high, but I'm more with you than the cynical crowd.
Why would you pay someone after the product goes gold and they stop working?

Because then they could make another product?
So true. The best sw games have no force in them
Btw is it in the sw 1-3 timeline? Those usually suck

Who's to say the laid off people don't get rehired for the next job?
Many industries layoff then rehire their employees regularly. The roofing/construction industry is one example.
The game industry is such a fluid contracting environment. Its quite normal to fire people during downtime. Its because a studio builds up a large work force during production and when a game is done they don't need them anymore.
The thing with games development is; you have multiple stages, Pre-production, production, etc. During pre-production you don't need a large force of 3d artists. and since pre-productionc an take a long time (3 to 6 months) and if you only have one game at a time in a studio, then shit! You cant keep that force around for a long time since they are a dead-weight. It drains a studio of money, so what they do is fire people. Its the way its done! nature of the beast etc. Nowadays allot of the work force are made up of freelancers who sit on a project for a period of time and if the project is done they let them go.
anyway, on topic, OH SHIT
this game looks amazing!
check gametrailers for some exclusive footage. really impressive. It wasn't shown at any of the conferences and it looks beyond good! it actually looks next gen good, so I am expecting this to be the first next gen game.

Am I wrong in thinking this doesn't look unreasonably more impressive visually than, say, Uncharted 2 or Uncharted 3?
It looks good, don't get me wrong, but I'm not seeing the "generational leap" some people are claiming.

Yes. There is detail in the lighting, particles, and general level of detail that is not present in ANY current gen console title.

But are they so far and away impressive that you would notice if you were not explicitly told to look for them? I probably wouldn't. Coming off of Uncharted 2's train sequence, you show me the bit with the guy jumping ship to ship in Star Wars and I'd probably assume they were both PS3 games.
Did you just compare Uncharted 2 to this?
At that framerate and IQ, yeah, I'd say that's about right.
Yes? At least for it to me it does, the train sequence in Uncharted 2 isn't the be all and end all anyway, mostly due to the low resolution environments around the train (I assume you're talking about the moving train sequence).

LucasArts is surely not producing a PC-only game these days...
So as they aren't announcing other platforms, that's just my guess.

I don't think YouTube is doing that video justice if it's running at 1080p.

It's modified Unreal Engine 3 tech running on a PC. Like Watch Dog, I expect it to launch once the next-gen consoles are available because the loss of fidelity would be massive if they launched on X360 or PS3.

Yeah, this looks like what I would expect for a nex gen game...I mean I reckon ND could match or surpass this on new hardware, but the detail and lighting here are very impressive

Uncharted 2 is a graphically astounding game, but I think you misremember its fidelity.

One looks like pre rendered CGI.
One is very clearly in game, yet impressive.
Definitely..I still remember when in the old Star Wars MMO, Star Wars Galaxies, it was a rare treat to see a jedi. Becoming one was a long, and hard, hard process. Then they completely revamped the game and it turned to crap..
I had good memories with that game..I miss it
