Lucas Arts upcoming video game information leaked!

[Tarfful]

All Lucas Arts gamers rejoice, four brand new game titles have been leaked according to TotalVideoGames.com and Rebelscum!

There is also verification that three TFU characters will be in the upcoming game Soul Calibur IV! These are: *drum roll please* Vader, Yoda, and Vader's secret apprentice.

The games that are announced are: (Note- if you are a die hard Lucas Arts fan you might want to sit down if you already aren't.) Battlefront III,

Knights of the Old Republic III - said to be a Massively Multiplayer Online game, another LEGO Indiana Jones game, and The Clone Wars - a lightsaber based game for the Nintendo Wii.

For more information you can go to Rebelscum or to TotalVideoGames for the full story.

On another note, there is a lesson for all major video game companies/developers in this recent leak of information. And that is: never spontaneously lay-off 100 employee's who have knowledge of future products, because if you do something like this is bound to happen.

Personally I can't wait for BF III, the BF series is one of my favorite video game series to date.

What do you guys and gals think of this announcement/leak of information?

the soul calibur thing was nothing new confirmed ages ago on  the only thing there that appeals to me is indy and the crystal brick

[trooperdavinfelth]

Indeed; we've known about KotOR 3 and BF 3 for a long time now and the Soul Calibur news was released several months ago.

I don't know much about Indy games(referencing the all out Indy game mentioned), but I can see this next Lego Indy game as the LSW 2/TCS of this franchise!

And the Clone Wars is relatively new since the Indy Prima Guide was released. There's an ad for it inside the front page.

But don't worry; at least the rumor of KotOR 3 and BF 3 are confirmed.

BF 3? does it say what game stations?

And here I was, hoping for Monkey Island 5

Anyways, I think the Indiana Jones game will be great, swinging lightsabers on the wii could be a lot of fun too though.

Battlefront III? WOO HOO

In Soul Caliber the Star Wars characters are just secrets and must be unlocked:

XBox gets Yoda (because he's green like the XBox)

PS3 gets Vader ,oh yeah! (because his armour's black like the PS3 casing)

1) the soul calibur thing was nothing new confirmed ages ago on 

2) the only thing there that appeals to me is Indy and the crystal brick

1) It was new to me, but then again I'm not a big SC fan.

2) Who said it was going to be an Lego Indy IV game, all that is confirmed so far is that there will be another; besides one whole Lego video game devoted to one movie seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

1) Indeed; we've known about KotOR 3 and BF 3 for a long time now and the Soul Caliber news was released several months ago.

2) I don't know much about Indy games(referencing the all out Indy game mentioned), but I can see this next Lego Indy game as the LSW 2/TCS of this franchise!

3) And the Clone Wars is relatively new since the Indy Prima Guide was released. There's an ad for it inside the front page.

4) But don't worry; at least the rumor of KotOR 3 and BF 3 are confirmed.

1) But those were just rumors, and this is not a rumor.

2) I don't think so as there were two LSW games before LSW:TCS, so it'll probably contain Indy IV and The Chronicles of Young Indy.

3) Yeah, I know about the product placement in the LIJ game.

4) You said above that you knew there were going to be KOTOR III and BF III, but here you state that they were just rumors. To me rumors and facts are two very different things.

BF 3? does it say what game stations?

Nope, remember this info was leaked so don't expect anymore anytime soon, unless Lucas Arts wants to layoff more employee's that is.

Anyways, I think the Indiana Jones game will be great, swinging lightsabers on the wii could be a lot of fun too though.

Vitual lightsaber duels ON!

In Soul Caliber the Star Wars characters are just secrets and must be unlocked:

XBox gets Yoda (because he's green like the XBox)

PS3 gets Vader ,oh yeah! (because his armour's black like the PS3 casing)

Thanks for the info The Rancor it's much appreciated, also you forgot about Vader's secret apprentice.

Yesyesyes - Lego Indy and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ON!

These other new games sound great too - Clone wars on the Wii is so On, as is another Battlefront and KOTOR. The secret character in Soul Calibur? Eh, I still just see this as a quick way to make cash, nothing more.

dont worry about monkey island 5

madame voodoo said she had a 5 game contract

[Vaders_son]

Wow how could I miss this topic?!

I've heard about a MMORPG KotOR III game too and I'm eager to learn more about it. I had a two weeks free SWG trial like 3 months ago and the SWG servers are pretty empty, so the only thing that makes the game worth playing a little is that it's Star Wars

BF rules I just hope they bring it for the Computer this time again!

And a lightsaber battle game for the Wii would be awesome - I'm so exited about the feature they build into TFU for the Wii already

Thanks for the news Tarfful!

There's an article about the Clone Wars game for Nintendo Wii and DS in the starwars.com homingbeacon today:

LucasArts today announced Star Wars: The Clone Wars will blast its way onto the Wii and Nintendo DS in Holiday 2008. Bringing an entirely new look and feel to the galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: The Clone Wars combines the cinematic qualities of the Star Wars movies with state-of-the-art computer-generated imagery from artists at Lucasfilm Animation.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels, in development by Krome Studios exclusively for the Wii, delivers fun-filled Lightsaber battles for the entire family while it immerses players in the characters, locations, and epic duels from the all-new Star Wars feature film. Built from the ground-up for the Wii, Lightsaber Duels features an intuitive motion-controlled combat system that puts the lightsaber weapon in your hand for non-stop fun.

* Fight the most memorable duels from The Clone Wars feature film.

* Wield your Wii Remote like a Lightsaber and experience first-hand the unique weapon of the Jedi knights with intuitive controls, so no matter what your gaming experience you can become a Lightsaber master.

* Play with your friends as your favorite Clone Wars hero or villain -- from familiar characters like Anakin Skywalker and General Grievous to new faces like Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress -- each with a unique fighting style and set of skills.

* Exploit your interactive surroundings to defeat your opponent: slice down pillars and Force throw them against your foe.

* Duel your way through significant Clone Wars locations, such as Tatooine and Teth.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance, developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS by the LucasArts Singapore team in conjunction with Lucasfilm Animation, lets gamers experience the awesome power when two Jedi join forces to fight as one. With an innovative stylus-based input, controlling the Jedi's movement and engaging in Lightsaber combat has never felt more immersive.

* Play through an original story -- exclusive to the Nintendo DS -- that expands The Clone Wars series in exciting new directions.

* Create your own Jedi dream teams by pairing Jedi Masters and Padawans. For example, team up Anakin Skywalker with Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Ahsoka Tano with Mace Windu.

* Develop the relationship between two Jedi and generate more powerful attacks and special abilities. Replay missions with different character combinations to unlock new areas, collectibles, and other secrets.

* Play with a friend using wireless drop-in/drop-out coop.

* Control all movement, Lightsaber combat and cinematic action sequences with just the DS stylus.

"Working on The Clone Wars chapter of the Star Wars Saga has been an exciting endeavor for everyone here at LucasArts," said Feargus Carroll, project lead for LucasArts Singapore. "The intuitive and accessible gameplay on both the Wii and the Nintendo DS complement one of the most exciting Star Wars adventures yet."

The world premiere trailer for the games will debut exclusively on Spike TV's "GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley" on Friday, June 20.

Visit the official Star Wars: The Clone Wars video game website for more game information.

Thought it might be interesting for those who don't get the homingbeacon.

Sounds like a pretty cool game if you ask me. I'm waiting for the trailer now to decide whether to buy it or not
