LEC's Killer E3 Lineup
 
As reported by IGN...

LucasArts
Mercenaries (PS2, Xbox)
Star Wars: Republic Commando (PC, Xbox)
Star Wars Battlefront (PC, PS2, Xbox)

Well, it's obvious which booth is going to be creating the buzz this year.
Their previous E3 line-ups have certainly been a piece of work but I think this one really takes the Biscuit, I mean Turky...whatever. Although, it's worth keeping in mind that this list is only the "official" titles and does not include, as IGN puts it "surprises and secrets," so expect another 5 or 6 Star Wars titles to be popping up there. Keep in mind that Episode 3 is only another 12 months away from E3, and to be sure LEC will want to get an early head start on their advertising campaign.

Of course, i'm sure there will more treats than merely Star Wars titles in the works, don't forget that they also have their much celebrated "thick as f*** action game" franchises going for them. With a bit of luck we might even get a glimpse of "Free Agent 2".

Roll on May 12th, me says.

...And Sam & Max 2 rests in peace :frown:

I'm putting all my money on the Darth Vader game being the Big Reveal. I doubt there's going to be more surprises, but you never know.

Draco2.5 04-07-2004 06:33 AM

Bastards.... :(

I imagine the much-rumored Xbox version of the Rogue Leader games or whatever will be another shocking unveiling.

WontonGoodsoup 04-07-2004 06:53 AM

Why doesn't LA make some more star wars games. They're slacking big time.

VoodooFX 04-07-2004 07:12 AM

I also believe that Vader game will be LECs big reveal at E3. Plus KOTOR2 will probably be offically announced by the time show kickstarts in May.

Maybe even another game in Jedi Knight series... based on Doom3 engine, being made by Raven?
... but all in all nothing but SW games + Mercenaries *YAWN*

OOOOH! I have a feeling they are going to announce a big shiny new graphic adventure game!

;)

How could you say that with a smile on you'r face, shame on you.

Right now, I think the only thing I *wouldn't* expect from LEC is a racing game.

..

Oh no wait they've done that.

Maybe they'll announce the preemptive cancellation of Monkey Island 5. I mean, talk about efficiency: think about how much money they'll save by cancelling a game before they even announce it. Yay! Executive bonuses all around!

Having said that, I can't help but be excited to find out more about KotOR 2. It's got two cover stories (CGW and EGM) coming up just in time for E3. If all Star Wars games were as good as KotOR, we probably wouldn't be complaining so much about the number of Star Wars games they release.

On the non-LA, adventurey front, I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing more about Dreamfall from Funcom. It doesn't look like Revolution will have a booth, which is too bad; maybe they'll release some BASS 2 concept art or something to compensate.

I'm pretty sure they even released a Star Wars Mario Cart type game called Super Bombad Racing, but there is no evidence of that on their web site, I guess they didn't evaluate the current market place realities and underlying economic considerations that time.

Wouldn't they just use the publishers booth? How did they do it with BS3?

I don't remember how Revolution did it for last year's show. Being a relatively small developer, they probably would just use the publisher's booth, but I doubt they're far enough along yet to have a publisher for BASS 2, let alone have much to show at E3. Just wishful thinking on my part. :)

SOG-Karimi 04-07-2004 09:55 AM

Yay ! Great lineup ...

But its missing some starwars titles , they aren't as good as they were before .... pump em out come on !!!! More brainless gameplay for all ! Hoorah !

Rented it out of pure curiosity. I looked like it was supposed to be funny or something.

BS3 was at The Adventure Company's booth last year... erm or was it two years ago? Whenever it was at E3 it was at TAC's booth ¬

No mention of BASS2 but you never know. Actually, I've never heard of any of those game, wonder if there's anything worth getting excited about.
