The Curious Case Of Lucasarts

When PANIC said that his friend said that Battlefront 3 info would be in a "major gaming magazine" I flipped through the Elder Scrolls issue for any teases to whats next month cover story. In an article for the Top 50 games of the year there is a section for top ten dissapointments. At number nine is Lucasarts. The section says this exactly.
LucasArts has two film franchises just screaming to be triple-A gaming blockbusters in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but the Force is no longer strong with this publisher. The studio suffered layoffs in September and the departure of veteran project lead Haden Blackman. Later, it handed over Star Wars: The Old Republic to EA. Where's our Star Wars: Battlefront update? Why hasn't LucasArts delivered the Indiana Jones game we deserve? Most importantly, what's going on over at LucasArts
Now this is the closet thing I found to a tease of anything in the whole magazine. They always tease their next cover story. Like last issue and a whole article on the History of the elder scrolls or the one before that one which was a whole two page spread of a boat with the words a survivor will rise, which ended up being the Tomb Raider reboot. This month in an article online of "what you guys would like to see in 2011" Star Wars battlefront 3 came up the most. They have always stated their interest in seeing a new Battlefront.bSo my question is if thats the closest could it mean that the next issue is Battlefront 3. Well we could find out around February 5th-Feb 13th.

Whatever Happened to the Indy game?
It was going to have Euphoria and DMM but it just dissapeared.

. The console versions were scrapped by LA and so they decided to release what was left of the game into Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings for PSP. Quite fun, though you should definately check it out. It's not quite Uncharted for the PSP, but the same feeling of adventure is there.

I think there are many fans in the media of BF. I remember BFIII being mentioned by Victor Lucas on Reviews on the Run recently in the review of Halo Reach. It was also mentioned several years earlier as games they wanted to see in the future.

It's a beloved franchise and hopefully LA will realize this and do something about it.

Hope slowly drifts farther and farther away from our grasp. :(
