No Obi-Wan for Me -- 4:00 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

GameSpot received word that LucasArts has cancelled Episode I: Obi-Wan on the PC. It will carry on as a game for some future console. Here's the PR:

Following an extensive review of the project and a great deal of deliberation, LucasArts Entertainment Company has ceased development of Star Wars: Obi-Wan for the PC. The expected breadth and scope of the Obi-Wan project could not be met given limitations of technology and the company's recently heightened quality standards. LucasArts is now planning to bring the game and its assets to a next-generation console platform. Further announcements will be made in this regard next year.

LucasArts remains fully committed to developing games for the PC platform, as evidenced by its current development alliances with Verant Interactive, BioWare Corporation, and other soon to be announced projects.

We wish to thank our fans for their continued support through this process and assure them that our number one goal is to provide them with high quality, fun games.

OK, this completely sucks. The most recent games to come out of LucasArts have been utter crap and now this. I guess I'd rather see it cancelled than have it come out and be another flop. They've fallen a long ways since the days of X-Wing and Dark Forces. Thanks Blue.
