LucasArts, maker of classics like the Monkey Island games, Grim Fandango, X-Wing, Dark Forces, Star Wars: Jedi Knight, among many others, has been closed by new owner Disney.
With the studio’s closure the future of Star Wars: 1313 is now unknown.
Star Wars 1313 is certainly looking impressive - and with us still in the look but don't touch phase of its marketing cycle, that's all we can say - but the new developer diary released by LucasArts is making it sound right up my street. It sounds like the guys over there are making an oddity when it comes to the Star Wars franchising, and it's the games which are an oddity in that cannon which really stand out as the best.

While the flashy cinematics are exactly what we'd expect from a space opera, the dialogue hints at a much grittier experience. "It gets a lot dirtier where we're headed," murmurs one character, and we bet he's talking as much about morality as mud. As a spaceship uses an access shaft to slip below the surface of Coruscant, is it also sinking into the criminal underworld of the Star Wars universe?

I've gone ahead and pulled together the biggest PC game trailers of E3 and laid them all side by side, to save you wandering all over the internet and potentially getting hurt. Some of them are brilliant.
