LucasArts Shut Down By Disney

[dodgethis]

But, with the purchase of the Lucas properties by Disney, you know what game am I really looking forward to? Lightsabers in Kingdom Hearts 3. The mere thought of Sephiroth going against Darth Vader just makes me wet. Or Mickey trying to out run a giant boulder with Indy.

The very thing you are looking "forward" to.... is the same thing that is giving me Cold Sweat... and NOT in any good way... :sweat:

That's redundant because cold sweat never refers to anything positive.

It does... cold sweat riding a roller coaster... cold sweat when watching horror movies... just an example...

The very idea that there might be a Micky and Donald version of StarWars.... with Chip & Dale as Ewoks.... fill Long Time Fans like me with horror... :think:

Well, most girls prefer foreplay to get wet, but whatever rocks your boat...

You do realize that the major stakeholder in Marvel now is Disney, right? What have they to that company's properties?

LucasArts in SG affected also:
Game over for LucasArts, including its studio in Singapore: Reports | TODAYonline

The SG office was opened only after our government threw many millions of tax-payer's money into it.
Looks like it's all down the drain now.

Sorry friend... not a Marvel Fan.. even if they have added a Micky into the movie I also won't have notice... but I've watch StarWars since I'm 5-6yrs old... and like most Old Timer... I like my Childhood Memories to remain intact... LOL

 

[pinholecam]

Disney's got no vision.
Its the one they should close.


Sad day for old gamers.
Just like how Origin and Microprose got absorbed and are no more.

I too grew up with Star Wars as a kid. I too grew up with the Marvel comics. Your view is that Disney will be screwing around with franchise no matter what, even before they have done a single thing. And what Disney has done with the Marvel Cinematic Universe has pleased me to no end. And no, they have not done anything to sully the universe. In fact, without Disney, I daresay that we would not even see the culmination that is The Avengers Movie.

Well... you have more faith on Disney than I do... and I hope you are right... cause if Episode 7, 8 & 9 pops out some Micky looking 'Jar Jar Binks' like character... it will be the last straw... LOL :bsmilie:

[diver-hloc]

[kei1309]

the Clone Wars animations and other stuff are alive and well with LucasFilm, and the games will probably be developed by other studios, which developed or took part in developing many of the Clone Wars games anyway... so no respite there, whether you like the Clone Wars series or not...

I wish ILM would buy the company.. but then again.. every company need a reboot

ILM is part of LucasFilm, which is of course owned by the Mouse Brigade...


the sad part is the loss of LucasArts Singapore, but thankfully, LucasFilm Singapore and the local ILM and LucasFilm Animation outfits are still continuing...
