Star Wars RTS Revealed

[Nov 10, 2004, 10:15 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A Q&A with LucasArts President Jim Ward on Yahoo! News (thanks Frans and Voodoo Extreme) reveals plans for a previously unannounced Star Wars RTS game in the works at Petroglyph, a developer comprised of ex-Westwood employees:

As a result, we will have new live-action and animated TV shows over the next few years, and I think there's a bright future there for games based on these new properties as well as original "Star Wars" games like a new real-time strategy PC game that Petroglyph is developing for next year. This game will take the (real-time strategy) genre in a new direction and will balance gameplay between the hard-core gamers who buy these games and the broader audience that's familiar with the "Star Wars" brand.

Oh god, not another bloody Star Wars game... even when I was 10 and I first saw it, the film didn't grab me that much. Just give it a rest... George, do something else. Or retire. LucasArts, go back to what you did best: quirky lil games full of humour and/or drama. Ack.
