[edit] Question
Why are Lucasarts succesful Non-Starwars games like Gladius and Secret Weapons Over Normandy not mentioned?
- This is a wiki - go ahead and mention them :) --HappyDog 19:22, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Those were "successful" titles? -- JH
What section should Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction go? It seems to be Lucasarts only action game.
- I would hardly call Mercenaries their *only* action game. -- JH
What about the mortimer and the riddles of the medallion game? that's a lucas arts one
The article needs cleaning and restructuring. The product history of the company should IMHO be categorized either by genre or in chronological order, not a mix of the two as in the current version. I'll do my best to help when I get a chance. - Jopo 08:50, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. I have thought about how this would best be organized for some time. I think we should retain the Origins section - maybe rename it History and add the organizational and name changes there. Maybe the early games could also stay there, as they are hard to categorize (Ballblazer, Fractalus, etc.). Other obvious article sections would be one for the Adventure games and one for the Star Wars games. And maybe one more for "other games". Maybe subsections for that category, for the military simulations, for example. TerokNor 11:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with you on the origins of the company and the early games - the history of the company up until 1987 (and the release of Maniac Mansion) could easily be fit into one section. However, I don't feel that adventure and Star Wars sections would be logical, as the former is based on genre and the latter on subject matter. Besides, the scope of Star Wars games has expanded - games based on the movie series can be found in nearly every major genre.
-
- I would personally go with genre-specific sections. Besides, as there are separate articles for e.g. LucasArts adventure games and the X-Wing series, the main LucasArts article could work as a summary page for the progress of each genre and then link to the main articles for more specific information.

Is it really appropriate to classify Mixnmojo as a LucasArts fanpage at this point? For now, they seem to be mostly derisive of the company, and Ward in particular (with good reason, IMO, but I won't get into that)71.234.69.238 18:29, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Star Wars Galaxies is having lots of problems, I won't call it successful. Subscriber numbers are falling and the NGE rework changed the face of the game in its core totally
[edit] Template?
How come there's no Lucasarts template? Would such a template be too large? Or has no one considered one yet? --Thaddius 13:46, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Some more information hopefully
Next Generation released an article about LucasArts. You can find it at http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3703&Itemid=2 -- ReyBrujo 03:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Logo
Haven't there been other logos similar to LucasArts' guy? I think I've seen some that also reminded me of LA, although now I can't remember any. I also just happened upon a site called Softonic which has a logo which is pretty similar if you ask me. I suppose there's no reason to mention this in the actual article though.
