Cool. Really looking forward to it, as I've mentioned several times!
I agree...bennihana123 said:I think Staff of Kings could have been released on the PS3/360 if they hadn't shifted all their focus on The Force Unleashed.
Yet again: Star Wars > Indy.
I do think a FoA remake could be likely.
Thanks for the info Lorn! Much appreciated...lornconner said:I can fill you in a bit on FOY.
Why do people keep saying the game was cancelled? That's like the third or fourth time I've seen that. Did it not come out on the 9th?The Tingler said:LucasArts cancelled Staff of Kings to remake Monkey Island.
01: Yes, I really did!lornconner said:Glad you enjoyed what you saw!
[...]we're missing 3 backgrounds for the INTRO to the game...not 3 backgrounds for the game in total.[...]We've got some good stuff in there though, and the intro is fairly long
This is a joke right? Of course we all know that the REAL game by LucasArts w/ all bells and whistles ("Endorphine", "Digital Matter", "ILM sets & lighting", you name it) got axed after years of, well, waiting...Jono11 said:Why do people keep saying the game was cancelled?

Eurogamer: You mentioned Indiana Jones earlier. Is that what you want to do next?
Dave Grossman: Uh, jeez. No comment. Actually, I love Indy - I would certainly do that one. Raiders of the Lost Ark was my favourite movie for many years until Pirates of the Caribbean came along.
In 2008, Darrell Rodriguez left his job as EALA's COO and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to become the president of LucasArts.
Since that time, there have been a lot of ups and downs at the company -- the cancellation of the overhyped next-gen Indiana Jones game; the success of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed; the rise of Lego-ization; the revival of Monkey Island under its original roof; and the quiet resumption of original IP development at the studio with the Xbox Live Arcade title Lucidity.
Is it your goal to continue to primarily work on Lucasfilm-licensed properties like Star Wars and Indiana Jones ? Or is that what you're going to do with big games, and then have XBLA be more original titles? What's the mix?
DR: We're definitely going to continue to do Star Wars and potentially Indiana Jones. We're also looking at new IP. We recently had some new IP, and we will continue on in that vein in the future.
What happened with that current-gen Indiana Jones game that never launched, and how can you make sure that these kinds of things don't happen? What processes are you putting in place to make sure that everything works out with projects like that in the future?
DR: We still believe in the Indiana Jones franchise. We did Lego Indiana Jones 1, we just released Lego Indiana Jones 2, and we'll continue to invest in the Indiana Jones franchise.
