Lucasarts Outsources Next Gen...new game hint?

Lucasarts have officially announced that they have tendered Day1Studios and Free Radical Designs to work on their next gen content.

 

Day1 could be perhaps involved in the E3 previewed jedi knight type or the new Indy game...it isnt clear at this stage.

 

FRD has worked on titles like Timesplitters, and it isnt entirely cear if they'll be doing a SW title or something different....they do have this hint on their homepage though....

 

Hey, we’re working with LucasArts on a top secret ‘Next Gen’ project... Perhaps it's a new version of Ballblazer or Rescue on Fractalus or Koronis Rift? Whatever the case, I hope you kept your Atari ST.

 

I indeed remember these very old school games :p However, the Atari ST one they sneakily left out was the Original Monkey Island game... a new MI game would indeed be nice... :D (Although it has to be mentioned that Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade was also on the ST)

 

it's at this point I would like to add.... "we need another flight sim" ...imagine XWA style game in next gen.... **drools** :p

I agree, that would be nice :D

 

I don't mind if it's a SW game or an original title though, as long as it's something interesting.

Yes! I would love this as well. I haven't had the chance to use my joystick in quite a while...er... Get your minds out of the gutter people!

Agreed. Though a Star Wars game would be preferable. Still, it will be interesting to see what comes of this.

@RJM The PS2 is just that cool, that it can be current gen and next gen :xp:

 

Yea, I'm sick of hearing/reading all of this next gen crap, and I agree with Negative_Sun, I want to see something, not read about how great it is gonna be. Whatever the game is, K3, XWA, Indy game, Tic-Tac-Toe, I don't care I just want to see something visual, my eyes are bleeding from reading about all this crap and not seeing anything... just my 2 cents

@Bob, If you're too busy, there's always public restrooms:rofl:

 

*Jae will never allow her son to enter a public men's restroom ever again without a full biohazard suit....*

 

Yeah, my brief hopes of the possibility of K3 were dashed when I saw what kinds of games the companies have done. Oh well, hopefully those new games will be fun, too.

Actually LEC reps have revealed that LEC is developing the new Indy Jones and Star Wars: "Force Unleashed" games in-house with contributions from ILM.

However, the Atari ST one they sneakily left out was the Original Monkey Island game... a new MI game would indeed be nice... (Although it has to be mentioned that Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade was also on the ST)
Your hypothesis about a Monkey Island just got a little stronger since we know LEC is making the new Indy Jones game on their own. However there is speculation floating around that Free Radical will make a Mercenaries sequel. But that little teaser you quoted definitely gives pause for thought.

I would like this too. As Prime indicated though such a game doesn't seem to be something LEC is very likely to do, especially considering comments Peter Hirschmann has made saying he doesn't think LEC will ever make another standalone flight-sim. :( Unfortunately for me I never bought any of the X-Wing, TIE Fighter, or XWA games when they were readily available. I've been trying to buy the Rogue Squadron game as that seems like the only SW flight sim that can be purchased for a reasonable price.

@Maverick, PS2=overhyped by celebrities. About as next gen as the sega dreamcast.

 

@Jae, Now Jae, come on and use your thinking cap...if you can provide him with a full biohazard suit you can include some sort of internal sanitation system...possibly burning waste to power the suits air recycling system.;) If implemented you should consider either, inserting armor plates (he will be beat up every day at recess), sharing you martial knowledge (he will be beat up every day at recess), or homeschooling.:lol:

 

You just have to think these things out. If the offspring survived, I would be the best parent like ever.:D

Oh, heck ya! I'd love another Monkey island game, but I wonder if it'll last. The golden age of adventuring was when Monkey Island 2 hit stands. Adventure games have virtually died since then. I don't think LA will ever be able to recreate the MI quality again.

Yes! :D

 

Finally some good news from LA!

Easy there Ztalker. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. :)

 

CVG is reporting this. LucasArts and Free Radical neither confirm nor deny that Battlefront 3 is the game they are working on so there is no "official" announcement yet. It is possible that CVG was misinformed by their sources.

Exactly, stuff like this has happened to KotOR III as well...
