UNOFFICIAL ACCOUNT. 😎
Here to share the story of Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts.
Making of, concept art, production...
(maybe a little about recent Star Wars games too)
From now on, my threads will be placed under this tweet.
Bob Iger quote today:
“When I saw Gen Z and Gen Alpha, and Millennials — the amount of time they were spending in terms of total media screen time on video games, it was stunning. Equal to what they spend on TV and movies.
The conclusion I reached -- we have to be there.”
"EA had expected Jedi: Fallen Order to sell between 6m and 8m copies by the end of the fiscal year. (...) EA now predicts Fallen Order will likely reach 10m copies sold by April, and says it has "significantly beat[en]" expectations."
Deserved.
It's a good day for LucasArts!
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection arrives on March 14 for the Switch, PlayStation5, PlayStation4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and PC!
It features restored online play for up to 64 players, and expansions to Hero Assault mode.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (LucasArts, 2008)
@SamWitwer
: "We were getting scanned in, and literally becoming the characters instead of just it being a painting that looked kind of like me. Suddenly, all the concept art looked exactly. It's incredible".
@TalkingBay94
Ten years ago today, one month after the closure of LucasArts, EA got exclusive rights to produce Star Wars games for consoles and PC for ten years.
I don't know if this means the end of exclusivity today exactly, but a new chapter is opening for Star Wars gaming.
Star Wars fan game idea: "Jawa" by
@Kilo_Three
"Co-op multiplayer game where you and up to 4 friends can, explore, scavenge, and try to survive the hostile environments of Tatooine. The Sandcrawler acts as mobile base for your clan where everything you find adds to your status."
Star Wars 1313 (LucasArts, cancelled in 2013): Boba Fett chararacter design & Coruscant level 1313 world development by
@designergus
+ work-in-progress scene.
In the last year of production (out of 4 or 5), George Lucas decided that Boba should be the protagonist of the game.
Star Wars: First Assault (LucasArts, canceled in 2013): Tech beta
Unfortunately often forgotten in the shadow of SW 1313. However, First Assault was a very different case because: this game (whose release they were about to officially announce) was more or less finished.
Today is the 19th anniversary of Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Pandemic Studios/LucasArts, 2002).
After this game, Pandemic made Battlefront 1/2 and Mercenaries for LucasArts.
Still waiting for a port on PC ;)
Dark Forces (LucasArts) was released 28 years ago.
Kyler Katarn, Jan Ors, the Dark Troopers, the Moldy Crow, the Arc Hammer, the Star Jewel, Anoat City, Kell dragon, Unidentified Gamorrean 2...
Kyle Katarn is a Jedi Knight for a quarter of century!
Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (LucasArts) was released 25 years ago today. From Nar Shaddaa to the Valley of the Jedi, what an adventure!
It was also the last LucasArts game with FMV (Full Motion Video) cutscenes.
[Thread] It's
#StarWarsDay
and Jedi Survivor was released last week.
Oh no, there are no more Star Wars games coming out! 😱
Well, in fact, there are plenty of games in development under the
@LucasfilmGames
umbrella. Let's list them in this thread.
#MayThe4th
Star Wars: The Old Republic (Bioware/EA/LucasArts) started 10 years ago today.
One whole decade for this MMO.
The last vestige of Legends, and the ultimate LucasArts project still in progress, is alive and updated. A real success. Congrats to everyone who contributed.
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire was released 25 years ago today on Nintendo 64.
Dash Rendar is now one quarter of century old.
I love this game with its motley game design as much as the transmedia project that encompassed it.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Bioware/LucasArts) was released 19 years ago today.
"What greater weapon is there than to turn an enemy to your cause? To use their own knowledge against them?"
A remake is coming soon (2023 hopefully - 20th anniversary).
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter (LucasArts) was released 20 years ago today on GameCube!
Yes, you still can't play with The Mandalorian, but there is this neat Jango Fett adventure.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Bioware/LucasArts, 2003): The Ebon Hawk, art by art by John Gallager
(I think it was done after the game, but John was the concept-art lead)
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (LucasArts) was released 27 years ago today on Nintendo 64.
Introducing Dash Rendar's shoulder pads.
I love this game with its multiple gameplays that expand the galaxy between two films.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (Raven Software/LucasArts) was released 19 years ago today.
More recently, this game was released on PlayStation 4 and Switch.
[NEW INDY GAME]
A new Indiana Jones game with an original story is in development from
@machinegames
(Wolfenstein: The New Order) and Bethesda (Fallout 4), under the Lucasfilm Games brand. It will be executive produced by Todd Howard (Skyrim).
It doesn't belong in a museum.
LucasArts closed its doors 7 years ago today. Time to celebrate their games! Play, play, play!
Thanks to re-releases and remasters, there are more LucasArts games available now than in 2013 :)
