Paul from Denkiphile: "Gamers and Star Wars fans alike are excited for Star Wars: First Assault, a possible upcoming first-person shooter that was initially scheduled to be made available this spring as a download on unconfirmed platforms. Allegedly intended to be the predecessor for Star Wars: Battlefront III (which was unfortunately scrapped), First Assault may or may not see the light of day due to Disney’s acquisition of LucasArts, which has left executives in pensive thought on how to go about using the Star Wars property. Earlier this week, a twenty-six second clip of in-game footage showing rebels against stormtroopers was leaked on the interwebs that is unsurprisingly being taken down from any website. Right off the bat, First Assault appears to have a Halo-y and Call of Duty-ish vibe to it. Of the thing we want to see from it, a few are derived from the beloved Star Wars: Battlefront series, assuming of course that we actually get to play it someday."
A cancelled LucasArts-era Star Wars shooter, “First Assault,” is being shown as playable online in new footage. Here’s what First Assault was, what the new videos claim, and why fans are buzzing.
In an era where pixels ruled the screen and creativity sparked the imagination, a few names stand out as trailblazers in the gaming industry – David Fox is undoubtedly among them. As a co-founder of LucasArts, Fox played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of gaming, leaving an indelible mark with iconic titles that continue to resonate with players worldwide. Join Sector as he shares captivating stories about the birth of LucasArts and the enthralling narratives behind some of the industry's most beloved classics.
eh…Gilbert, Purcell Schaffer were the trail blazers in that crew. David, while he did do some stuff once, like a real long ass time ago is more like b-list personality that specializes in reminiscing and signing ops at a convention.
Andersson will act as design director on the title and work in parallel with creative director Axel Torvenius – who was previously art director for the Wolfenstein games and with executive producer Jerk Gustafsson at the helm.
You know what games I want way more than Indiana Jones? The darkness and Riddick.
Haha, completely agree... But, the fact that he is involved in this is a definitely a positive sign! Could actually be a good game!
You might be right. Indiana Jones will never do Jackie or Riddick stuff though. The darkness was brutal on the eyes and ears lol.
The Darkness was an underrated gem. Fantastic lore and Mike patton from Faith No More voicing the darkness is up there with the great video game voice overs imo.
1 through five should all be the game being released.
