LucasArts hiring for first-person shooter
LucasArts is hiring a senior animator and senior engineer for a future generation FPS.
LucasArts is making a next-gen first-person shooter, according to recent job openings. The company is hiring for a senior core engineer and a senior animator, but details beyond those are sparse. It seems unrelated to Star Wars 1313, a third-person shooter that LucasArts debuted at E3.
The two listings (via CVG) both mention an unspecified FPS title, but only the engineer position drops word of "future generation console and PC hardware." The name LucasArts tends to read as related to Star Wars, but word could also be an original project. Far Cry vet Clint Hocking was working on something at LucasArts before leaving.

Battlefront 3?

Only to be let go before the project is shipped.

I try not to talk about other companies, but I have no idea how they can get Sr. talent when they've gone through a hiring and firing schedule yearly for about a decade. I have yet to meet a programmer or artist who is currently working at LA for 2+ years.

Is this the project that Clint Hocking ran away from a week or two ago?

If I were a betting man, that's what I'd put my money on

This times a million.

Been waiting for another Star Wars FPS for ages! Would love a dark gritty Star Wars FPS game :D

Nope, it's 3rd person.

Maybe it's a First-Person-Simulator. Hear me out on this - you live the life of a gravedigger and your job requires you to bury copies of Star Wars: Force Commander in the desert for eight real-time hours each day.
And if you do a good enough job, George shows you his rights to Grim Fandango and then pisses in your cereal the next morning. -
Another Dark Forces / Jedi Knight would be cool, but after the prequels I just don't feel the same magic in this universe now. It was so good being Kyle Katarn, learning about The Force, killing stormtroopers assisted by John Williams' music (playing on my Gravis Ultrasound!). Now it all feels flat and somewhat broken to me, the SW world lost its gravity and consistency.

No longer at LucasArts.

Doubt it's them but I'd love to see them try to make something like Far Cry 2

In 2008 they apparently fired most of the in-house game dev staff and decided they were going to do most of their development via outsourcing from then on. If this actually lasted at all is debatable, given that lucasarts is known for doing business-plan 180s at the drop of a management hat.

I can't believe you people still expect something good to come out of this company -
Wait and see...
