Jan Gaarni Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 LucasArts rarely do their own games anymore it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokakeke Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 LucasArts doesn't make games, and afaik they never have. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Pitt Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 They are both fruits! and i dont really care, whats the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Nikolaos Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Well, there are a lot of esthetic differences between apples and oranges(not that it matters), but in my opinion, Petro and apples relate because they are hard on the inside and solid for making video games. Lucas and Oranges= soft in the inside, which makes it harder for them to make an awsome game such as EAW (experience counts a lot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then who makes all of there games? Oh well just close this topic now please. Deletion would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Goat Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 LucasArts used to make a lot of its games in-house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Sith Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Lucasarts is greedy, corrupt and would have did anything to make the game sell more money. It would have turned out worse, and if Petro had made it independantly of Lucasarts meddling then it would have been MUCH better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaxspore Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 i rember when Lucasarts made great games by them seleves such as darkforces, and Xwing/Tiefighter We need a Xwing/Tiefighter sequal runnig Todays grapics OMG that would be so realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Both Lucasarts and Petroglyph had input into making this game. Comparing a developer to a publisher is pretty silly. LA have spent the last few years using developers to build the games, whilst they focus on design and of course, the Star Wars licence.

Tokakeke Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Petro make EaW by itself? Can you say "hello, copyright lawyers"? Petro's doing an average job. Wiki says they're working on an RTS with Sega, but I don't see why it's taking so long to release a new patch. There are obviously issues that need to be fixed NOW.

Jeff Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 LA hasn't had any recent experience producing games, they almost always get a developer to do it and they just publish them. From what I can tell from the demo, not having the game yet, Petroglyph did a fantastic job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay let me clear this process up for everyone. Petro was either approached by LA to make a Star Wars game for them, or they asked LA if they could. So they arent breaching copyright as they have permission from the people who hold the license. As opposed to say me just making and selling a Star Wars game now that is where copyright lawyers come in. As far as the patch goes, just hang tight, the longer time it takes the better its gonna be.

You sound like a whinging 6 year old. Patching takes time and there are processes involved in releasing patches to the public. They can't just go "oh look, xyz is broken, fix and upload to servers!"

Foshjedi2004 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Look at Valve they are still patching and adding extra content to CSS and other games. They are releasing new material Far after the actual release of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Lucas Arts takes time to develop a few games in house pretty regularly. Some of the recent ones include: Gladius, Jedi Starfighter, Republic Commando, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to say me just making and selling a Star Wars game now that is where copyright lawyers come in. No, you don't understand. He was saying that Petro should do the game by itself. Which would be really stupid, because they can't make a SW game without permission by LucasArts. (Also, it'd suck, because they wouldn't have access to any of the sound libraries, etc). You sound like a whinging 6 year old. Patching takes time and there are processes involved in releasing patches to the public. They can't just go "oh look, xyz is broken, fix and upload to servers!" As one of my favorite forum moderators of all time said, "keep the spam in the fridge". I've programmed in C++ before. I know it takes time to release patches. It is, though, odd that they have an entire team to code these things, and they aren't being done faster. Especially when the community is taking it upon themselves to fix these issues in mods. Issues such as routing that I assume are in the source are harder to fix than changing damage values in XMLs. Doing the latter as a 1.25 patch shouldn't take more than a week.
