The Nintendo 64 and PC classic Star Wars: Rogue Squadron has just launched on Steam, bringing the arcade style flight-combat game up to speed for the modern age. LucasArts and Disney Interactive have delivered an updated game that runs at a smoother framerate and even supports 3D visuals. This updated version will set Star Wars fans back $9.99. Rogue Squadron is often remembered as...
Of all the games on Steam needing of a patch, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords was probably the last I'd ever expect to see. But here we are, a whole ten years after its release, and Obsidian has released an official, modder assisted patch that helps it take one step closer to the masterpiece that it almost was. The patch is available through the Steam release,...
Even though it can't be legally purchased anywhere through digital means, be it on GOG or Steam, Grim Fandango is still one of the most beloved cult-classics in gaming history. The brainchild of Double Fine creative lead Tim Schafer has some of the best writing, characters, and voice acting any video game story could possibly hope for. But ugh, those tank controls are so awful. In a...
Star Wars 1313 was one of the more exciting video games aimed for next-generation consoles before Disney pulled the plug on it after acquiring LucasFilm last October. The news of its cancellation stung, but our hearts were only more broken after learning it was supposed to be a Boba Fett game. IGN sat down with a 15 minute demo of the unfinished game and has its impressions available...
Updated (2:45pm EST): This should be our final update (I write knowing that I'll probably eat my words). We specifically asked our contact at LucasFilm if Star Wars 1313 was officially canceled. Their response is brief. "All internal projects have been halted." That's a hard stop. While our contact would neither confirm or deny the cancelation of Star Wars 1313, the internal work on...
Looks like we could possibly be getting Star Wars: Battlefront III after all, just under a different brand name. Star Wars: First Assault shows Lucas Arts taking their game to the next level in creating an ultimate answer to Battlefield and Call of Duty. Much like the older Star Wars: Battlefront games, First Assault will place players in the shoes of nameless soldiers destined to wage...
Yes, Disney bought LucasFilm for a whopping $4 billion, and they are planning to exploit Star Wars once every two to three years with yet more movies. We’ve all heard the news and have our own opinions and reservations on it. But, with such a huge event turning the entertainment world on its head, it’s easy to see a few smaller properties fall through the cracks and go unmentioned....
Here we are at the start of the second showfloor day at E3 2012, and this is the first time I can genuinely say "wow." Wow. Star Wars 1313 floored me. We were brought into a private booth and shown three separate clips while the folks from LucasArts (and divisions like ILM) talked about their development progress. Star Wars 1313 is a collaboration, and just about every major tech...
LucasArts has announced what looks to be a completely different take on the Star Wars universe in video games. Star Wars 1313, according to the press release you'll find at the base of this post, is a third person game that puts players in the boots of an intergalactic bounty hunter. This is a "mature themed" game that takes place in a criminal underworld within the Star Wars universe...
