LucasArts: Star Wars: Battlefront Online Now Rumoured To Be Cancelled

The layoffs are due to LucasArts putting a hold on Star Wars: Battlefront Online. They wanted the game shipped in 2010, not in 2011 as they have other plans for that year. Once it was apparent a 2010 release was not going to happen, they scrapped the game.

Sucks, I was really hoping for it, I loved the battlefront games. Hopefully they'll get it worked out and pick it back up again.

LucasRATS cares more about Lego clone wars and monkey island remakes than Battlefront now, I hate to say but its true. Im beginning to think they also have a fetish for ruining dev studios, first free radical, now Slant 6

They just need to fire everyone and LA and hire new people.Especially get rid of the LA president darrel rodriguez, the company has just gone downhill since he joined them.

Yes... scrap a whole project and waste all the money you've invested so far because it would be horrible to have two SW games out in the same year...

Monkey Island > Battlefront.
truth hurts

You guys are forgetting about their main game for 2011: Star Wars: The Old Republic. Bioware and LucasArts say the game is totally $150 million (prolly more) to make.

Remake KOTOR for the Wii instead!

kaveti66165135d ago

Why would they remake it? They could just port it over with a slight upgrade and the Wii could barely handle it.

CountDracula5135d ago

Monkey Island should be remade as an FPS.

Automat5135d ago

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
