Oh, man, I forgot about that Totally Games logo on the boxes. At least Lucas Arts got it out there in the stores.

Umm, Disney? And they may very well continue using the LA label for publishing, jut no internal studios specifically tied to it.
This also doesn't mean the collaboration with existing 3rd party partners will grind to a halt either . . . and that may include more sequels and remakes from Telltale too.[/QUOTE]


Yeah, I just hate to see them close up shop. Just venting mostly.

Heck if I would know, they're all the same to me. I only let the kid watch real cartoons. ;)

It DEFINITELY looks Dreamworks esce.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't SEGA name "Katana" the "Dreamcast" as an homage to DreamWorks Studios and as a reference to GameWorks?(Though Dreamcast is a compound word or "Dream" and "Broadcast")

A little article that explains why Disney pulled the plug on LucasArts.

That artical seems to imply that Disney may not take the direction of publishing outsourced game development either, but focus more on licensing IPs to 3rd party developers and publishers in a more "hands off" manner. That's just supposition based on the context of Disney's typical licensing of internal IPs.

Which isn't out of the ordinary in Regards to Disney Interactive's own licensing practices.

The last game developed by LucasArts was The Force Unleashed II. They didn't make Kinect Star Wars...
