  Reportedly found on a Wii test kit discovered at an e-waste recycling center

  Man, talk about a find.

  The reason for it being canned so late seems to be mostly on internal higher up conflict within Lucasarts, whose leadership became bean counters. www.eurogamer.net/free-radical-vs-the-monsters

  And then we went from talking to people who were passionate about making games to talking to psychopaths who insisted on having an unpleasant lawyer in the room." (David Doak on the change within Lucasarts after Jim Ward left)

  “LucasArts hadn’t paid us for six months,” says Norgate “and were refusing to pass a milestone so we would limp along until the money finally ran out. They knew what they were doing, and six months of free work to pass on to Rebellion wasn’t to be sniffed at.”

    A scientist in Goldeneye was called Doak. The scientists were named after the creative team, I wonder if it ks the same guy.

    Fully playable build, but it’s probably not a complete or finished game

      From the article:

      “It was pretty much done, it was in final [quality assurance testing],” Free Radical founder and former studio director Steve Ellis told GamesIndustry.biz in 2012. “It had been in final QA for half of 2008, it was just being fixed for release. LucasArts’ opinion is that when you launch a game you have to spend big on the marketing, and they’re right. But at that time they were, for whatever reason, unable to commit to spending big. They effectively canned a game that was finished.”

      Still better than the new EA ones which aren’t finished and aren’t playable.

  Sounds like a good reason to seize greater control of the Internet.

    Image I’m not a bot, I’m just sad I never got to play this game. I went crazy for battlefront 2 when it came out.
