Hats must be doffed in the direction of Superannuation once more for this morsel of gaming news. He has spotted an advert by developer Spark Unlimited for ‘a senior game play engineer for a 3rd Person Action/Adventure title in a high-profile science fiction franchise currently in development for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC markets.’
Star Wars? Star Trek perhaps? Stargate is still going strong in one form or another so the guess is it’s one of these. At least we can be pretty certain its going to have ‘Star’ in the title. Thankfully Mr. Superannuation has uncovered another clue as the LinkedIn profile of Spark Unlimited developer John Lawries lists the following:
Unannounced third person sword fighting game (well known IP, Xbox 360, PS3)
While it is possible any sci-fi franchise could have ‘swords’ in it, only one springs instantly to mind – the one with the glowing swords that go ‘Vwoom’ when waved about.

Does it matter? Movie/TV tie ins are crap anyway, but of course it will sell reasonably well. It’ll make George Lucas some more money even if it tanks.

This game is doomed to a s-l-o-w and p-a-i-n-f-u-l death at the hands of these jokers.

Hold on a second. Isn’t Spark Unlimited the team that did Legendary and Turning Point… Hasn’t the star wars franchse quality decreased too much yet?

Great films to watch when you were a kid but apart from the original PC Sith Lords by Bioware, I thought all the rest of the releases have been very lame.

Even Bioware’s other Star Wars game, KOTOR?

Sorry misread it.
