So, I'm guessing this isn't the shooter LucasArts is hiring for, unless they're taking a decidedly lower budget approach than I thought.

God damn it Lucasarts, just make a new Jedi Knight.

God damn it Lucasarts, just make a new Jedi Knight.

It would just be COD with lightsabers

 

[John Rabbit]

It would just be COD with lightsabers

and?

 

[BattleMonkey]

and?

It wouldn't be a Jedi Knight game people fawn over and remember?

 

[RaffAO]

and?

Thus it would be boring.

 

[Katori]

Boxart looks promising (for boxart). What is this game?

 

[cuyahoga]

Multiplayer-focused FPS then?

 

[Ridley327]

Multiplayer-focused FPS then?

It figures that they would make a multiplayer-focused FPS that wasn't Battlefront before making an actual Battlefront.

 

[Raide]

Star Wars: Only Fight With Lightsabers.

Do It.

 

[SapientWolf]

It would just be COD with lightsabers

That actually sounds pretty awesome.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Waitaminute, Double Dragon 2, Serious Sam 3, and Wrestlefest are coming to XBLA?

Wow.

What is this Star Wars game even about, LucasArts hasn't put out anything decent in years.

 

[Neuromancer]

Multiplayer-focused FPS then?

If so I hope there are bots or some kind of single player component, for their sake. MP-focused XBLA shooters tend not to do so hot.

There is a good COD4 star wars mod. But yea it's nothing like playing the Jedi Knight games.

 

[cuyahoga]

But those don't have the Star Wars brand. Lucas thinks this is probably a meaningful variable.

There is supposed to be some COD-esque AAA FPS too, I believe.

 

[Slavik81]

Star Wars: Only Fight With Lightsabers.

Do It.

That was one of the main online modes of Jedi Knight II.

It turned into Star Wars: Never Face Your Opponent because the backstab was so powerful.

 

[BattleMonkey]

But those don't have the Star Wars brand. Lucas thinks this is probably a meaningful variable.

A branded IP shooter has much better chances amongst a flood of generic fps arcade titles.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Consider me interested.

Well it certainly worked for Battlefield.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

where is battlefront lucas WHERE?

Perhaps. Well then, for my sake!

 

[Danneee]

I'm hoping for a battlefront type game but deep inside I know it's just a twin stick shooter.

Interesting

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Known possibilities? Well, this could be Star Wars: First Assault, hotly rumoured following a brace of trademark and domain registrations. It's said to be an Xbox Live Arcade project. Alternatively, how would you feel about an FPS for next gen consoles? Could be they're one and the same thing.

What are the chances of this being a spiritual successor of Republic Commando? I will do naughty things if it's the case.

I didn't see any lightsabers.

There would be a Star Wars riff on FarmVille and a Call of Duty-style first-person shooter codenamed Trigger.

 

[ultron87]

REBEL ASSAULT 3!

 

[GolazoDan]

That actually sounds pretty awesome.

Some of the best COD multiplayer was on the Giant Bomb TNT where Jeff turned off all guns so everyone was running around knifing each other. Swap knives with light sabres, sorted. He also forgot to turn off grenades, probably not as easy to adapt. Unless... force... bombs?

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'm not seeing anything but a generic Xbox logo.

Edit:Had to google to see it.
I know the threads old but I have never even heard if this. Definitely helps ground the source in the kotaku article.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Star Wars: Generic Logo doesnt look too appealing.

 

[That1Guy]

I think Microsoft took the original image down.

You can still find it if you search for Star Wars:First Assault.

[Ol No Bones]

25 kill streak calls in a strike by Death Star! Thermal detonators! Star destroyer kill streak! Force powers! Ok Star Wars cod sounds awesome!

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Any chance it's a very weird way of naming Battlefront I/II HD package?

 

[spuit*11]

It's dead Jim. Let it go.

 

[CamHostage]

Since it was pulled,

...but the timing of this bump is interesting because the rumors are not good.

I wouldn't put faith in any of this happening any time soon, LucasFilms had all of its departments turn full stop to put everything into SW VII projects. Even though it's years away, all bits of news coming out of the company are that everything once planned is being looked at again (the 3D films, the live-action TV series, the games, everything; even the Clone Wars TV series is being handled delicately despite them being well through Season 6 writing and probably production.) The LucasArts website still shows 1313, but it hasn't been updated in any way since 2012. Kotaku is pinning the rumor on the skipped PS4 showing (but guys, everybody couldn't show everything at one 2-hour event, lets not read into it too much every single time...) but there's been talk of Star Wars 1313 being in limbo for a while now. (I was just listening to a Rebel Force Radio podcast and they were putting bets that it is vaporware.) Star Wars First Assault is very likely in the same boat, don't be surprised if we never see either game.

 

[SloaneRisette]

Battlefront...

 

[That1Guy]

Battlefront III has started development and been stopped several times because the quality of the external studios did not live up to the expectations of LucasArts and were missing milestones.

People have high expectations for Battlefront, not the least of which is vehicle-based gameplay.

Infantry-based FPS is still the heart of the Battlefront franchise though. Not doing vehicles right off the bat would mitigate the risks involved in making a full on Battlefront 3 but would still set up for it.

 

[cuyahoga]

I think that is a completely separate project, FWIW.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Wasn't Battlefront a third person shooter?

 

[Metal Gear?!]

Star Wars-themed COD is perhaps the biggest potential moneymaker LucasArts missed out on in the last 5 years. Calling in a Jedi/Sith could be a scorestreak.

Wasn't Battlefront a third person shooter?

First and third.

 

[That1Guy]

I think that is a completely separate project, FWIW.

You don't think the first-person shooter code named Trigger is Star Wars:First Assault?

 

[Wario64]

REBEL ASSAULT 3!

Don't play with my heart. I replayed RA2 last week. Good stuff

 

[Nirolak]

Their job postings imply it's a AAA game, which doesn't exactly mesh with an XBLA title.

[Ramblin]

Thus it would be boring.

Junior when you get out of those huggies, and your dad no longer has to clean the shit out of your tiny vagina, then you can tell me what's what. (I've always wanted to refer to someone as "junior" here, it's just so condescending. No offense, heck I was a junior not too long ago.) and the shit quote was just something my cousin said he spends his days doing with his newborn, again nothing personal just wanted to share it because it disturbed me enough not to want kids.

Goodness me that brings back memories. Didn't get to play it that much as by the time I got to playing it the community had all just seemed to dry up and die for it.

A match for anyone just a bit curious:
