Rumor: LucasArts' Indiana Jones Game Canceled

by Nick Breckon, Jan 13, 2009 11:18am PST

LucasArts' Indiana Jones game, in development for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, has been canceled according to an IGN report citing multiple sources.

The game, seen in a trailer below, was first announced in 2006, but LucasArts has rarely spoken of it since the initial reveal. The company has chosen not to comment directly on the new rumor, stating only that it is "committed to the Indiana Jones franchise" and that "details are forthcoming."

Am I the only one who hates ragdoll physics with a passion? wtf is that crap? I don't want to play a game where opponents act like ragdolls unless the characters are ragdolls. The animations looked better before this whole fad got started.

I liked Euphoria especially in GTA 4, but I hate it how they promote a physics system as if it would make a game.

From what I've heard from folks who used to work there, Lucasarts is so poorly run, I can't imagine them lasting for another couple of years.
