[QUOTE="Sinistar, post: 64941, member: 683"] Sad news in gaming , the games StarWars 1313 and StarWars First Assault are now vaporware , and as they shift from a development corp. to a IP distribution system, they have pink slipped 150 Lucas Arts employees in the game division. [url]http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/04/03/lucasarts-lays-off-staff-moving-to-licensing-model[/url] With Disney now helming the company , the handwriting was on the wall , commercial flops like[B] Force Unleashed 2[/B] , and [B]the Old Republic [/B]represent the demise of the house that George built. For the bright side , with a new emphasis on licensing to other development interests, this could be the ideal time for FarSight to go after Indiana Jones Pinball , and Star Wars . The rich history of Lucas Arts goes back to the Atari 2600 and intelivision era , and was one of the earliest 3rd party companies on consoles . Shadow of the Empire 64 anyone? Jedi Arena ? Unknown is how this might affect Zen Pinball 2 StarWars . [/QUOTE]
