Clint Hocking Has Left LucasArts

The Far Cry 2 designer is leaving San Francisco and moving on.

No Caption Provided

When Star Wars 1313 was announced just prior to E3, I’d been crossing my fingers Far Cry 2 designer Clint Hocking’s name would be attached to it. That never happened, and now Hocking’s revealed he’s no longer with LucasArts.

“I recently left my job at LucasArts and am moving on to something new,” he revealed on his blog. “Unlike last time, (and mercifully less wordy) I already have something lined up and I am currently in the process of dealing with the living hell of relocation.”

It’s never been clear what Hocking was working on at LucasArts. The systems-loving designer seemed an odd fit for LucasArts in the first place, but hopefully it won’t be long until we hear from him.

“I will let the world know where I am going once I get there,” he said. “Unless you already know.”

Someone want to tell me?

Was Chaos Theory the game that let you turn your coop partner into a projectile? If so, bravo to that man. We need more Man Missile technology in video games.

Also, I played Farcry 2 for about 15 minutes when it was free on PS+. Thats not a knock against the game, it just wasn't my thing. I'm pretty sure its the best malaria simulator designed for consoles though.

I'm guessing the only dynamic fire I'll be getting in the Star Wars universe is if I buy some copies of the prequels and light them on fire myself.

Seems like a reasonable response to me.
