Star Wars and EA Could Be A Perfect Match

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away EA acquired the rights to publish Star Wars video games and in turn made the fantasies of gamers, movie fans, and self-professed geeks come to life. If such a thing occurred nearly a decade ago, back when EA was looked upon as a conglomeration of evil not unlike the Imperial Army, this news would've been one of disappointment, but now it’s a reality and actually good news all considered.

Star Wars fans may be none too pleased today, not just because of the closure of LucasArts and the subsequent cancellation of unreleased games, but because Star Wars 1313 was set to be a Boba Fett game. 

Despite the Fett family having a shaky video game history thanks to the kind of fun/kind of dreadful Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, LucasArts was ready to give the video game treatment to Boba Fett in a massive action game.

Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars empire has now claimed its second victim: that of LucasArts. After shuttering production on the popular Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon, Disney has announced that they will be closing as an internal development studio LucasArts effective immediately.

A single tear may be running down the face of Star Wars fans upon seeing the first, and possibly only, footage of Star Wars: First Assault.  Revealed mid last year through a trademark registration, First Assault has been speculated about wildly only for us to finally get a sense of what the game was when it appeared in a XBLA listing.  Since then we’ve only heard bad, though in a depressing sort of way, news about First Assault and this new gameplay trailer serves a

Even though it’s one of the most recognizable and popular franchises in the world, Star Wars simply can’t catch a break when it comes to the world of video games.  After starting out strong in the mid 1990s, the Star Wars franchise has slowly declined in recent years through a derth of interesting releases. Now there's another disturbance in the Force which could result in yet another Star Wars being cancelled.

The Star Wars franchise may officially be beyond the point of no return as far as its video game efforts are concerned.  We may all love a good space battle or a lightsaber fight, but the Star Wars franchise is now traveling into a level of product cross-over/pure cash grab moment that may be completely unjustified.

Kinect Star Wars Footage Looks Amazing But Not For The Reasons You Would Think

Having a gap between generations when it comes to tastes, preferences, and favorite things is fine but I’ll never for the life of me figure out how youngsters can enjoy the modern day Star Wars offerings. Outside of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon on the Cartoon Network, Star Wars has transformed into something that is nowhere near the magical experience it used to be.  These days we’ve been stuck in the Clone Wars Saga for over a decade and I’m honestly a bit sick of it.

Kinect Star Wars Finally Receives A Release Date (Yippee!)

There may be attention around it for all the wrong reasons, but today Microsoft and LucasArts officially revealed the release date for Kinect Star Wars.  The Kinect centric game that has made gamers shudder with disgust hasn’t exactly had the best showing as of late, but maybe it’s just a case of old footage being shown. Or maybe the game is just as dreadful as it appears to be and will only be valuable for two things: it’ll give us comedy and possibly the most kick ass Limited Edition Xbox 360 console.

Yesterday we received a video that was very special for a lot of different reasons. While I may not have made a news post for said video, I did opt to make a brief post on the Shogun Gamer Facebook page. Our loyal readers may know what I’m talking about as I’m referring to the live-action promo video for Kinect Star Wars. 

LucasArts Now Looking For Devs With FPS Experience. Could A Franchise Revival Be Inbound?

Right now we’re in full-on TGS hype mode but some interesting new unrelated to the Japanese mega-event has surfaced.  We all know that for the past few months, or rather the past few years, LucasArts has been a bit of a mess as they’ve been all over the place and have somehow managed to ruin any sort of chance of doing a good Star Wars or Indiana Jones game.  After the somewhat lackluster reaction of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II received that franchise was likely put to pasture which left LucasArts with no major projects and a somewhat meager work force.
