Star Wars 1313 has fallen into the Sarlaac, never to return

TychoCelchuuu

THIS GAME IS NOW CANCELED GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE BOBA FETT IS DEAD





So I guess I'm making the Star Wars 1313 thread.



Star Wars 1313

Do you like Star Wars? Well that's great. I've got another fucking Star Wars game. You get to play as a bounty hunter on Coruscant, 1000 levels beneath the surface. You hunt bounties and shit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4LzOUpmuR0

What does hunting bounties entail? Well it looks like you'll do a lot of hiding behind chest-high things from which you can pop out of. Hooray generic cover shooting! Steel yourself for some Grade-A ass-kissing in this video:

Also you get to press the "jump" button to watch predetermined cinematics play out! FUN SHIT

http://youtu.be/Un7vejwgVoM

But this is Star Wars and Uncharted so the production values are through the roof and I won't need a PS3 so basically I'm sold. I'm a Star Wars fan! I can't help myself! And it looks like you play as a wisecracking bounty hunter and your companion is a wisecracking bounty hunter so, that sounds good.

But Maybe You Are Boba Fett
The only interesting thing to maybe talk about is how Boba Fett used to go by "CT-1313" so maybe you play Boba Fett.

"Star Wars" Buys You a Mention on Fancy News Sites
Check out some bullshit articles that talk about nothing:

• Giant Bomb article that actually isn't 100% bullshit
• Kotaku Bullshit
• Forbes Bullshit
• Wall Street Journal Bullshit

Lucascraft

So who is making this game? If LucasArts themselves are the devs, I have 0% faith in the product. However, if they've outsourced it to a 3rd party, it might actually be good.

initiatefailure

um... I think this looks [promising].

I can't tell if you like the idea of this game or not actually.

TychoCelchuuu

As far as I can tell it's in-house development, although a bunch of people from ILM and Skywalker Sound are apparently in on it too.

BritishDavid

So I'm calling this now, i don't believe that's current Gen, i believe they'll be a new 360 announced next May, and the hardware hits Christmas, and BOOM! this game is there at launch.

initiatefailure

it's just running on PC.

shit looks better with high end graphics instead of console graphics.

SniperGuy

So...PC version? Eh? Probably not?

Gyral

I'm surprised it's Star Wars and Bounty Hunter and no mention of a Fett.

Why not? TFU and TFU 2 came out for PC. Almost all Lucasarts games come out for PC. This was probably running on a PC.

Commander 598

I'm more impressed by the lack of the words "force", "jedi", "dark side", or "sith".

HELL YES

Because the youtube tags are:

Not one mention of PC! And because everytime I get excited someone goes HA HA CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE and I cry.

Skull2185

I want to be excited for this. Does it have a confirmed setting(timeframe wise?)

Between "A New Hope" and "Empire"? After RotJ? At least it doesn't appear to be prequel nonsense, that's a plus I guess.

Those are Gametrailers' YouTube tags which are just for getting hits. You'll notice it says "Nintendo DS" and "Xbox Live Arcade" in there even though those have nothing to do with the game. Nobody searches "PC" on YouTube so they don't tag anything with PC.

Etchwarts

I'm not gonna lie.

I love Uncharted.

I love Star Wars.

I already love this game.

Fireflash

Odd how great the game looks overall yet the shooting looks so bad. The blaster shots don't even look starwarsy.

PunkBoy

Republic Commando was just Star Wars and Xbox Rainbow 6. I'm cautiously optimistic.

My guess is he's got a Disrupter aka "Star Wars-y thing that we can make look and act however we want gun".

Skull2185

Holy smokes. Just watched the gameplay video.

I can get on board with this.

This. My hype train will stay at the station, but it is booking tickets just in case.

DietarySupplement

So the general consensus is that republic commando was good, then? Because I never played, but always wanted to. Which would give me a reason to go searching for a copy.

PunkBoy

I thought it was a lot of fun. I also like Jedi Starfighter and that was just Star Wars and Ace Combat.

It's available on Steam as well.

Etchwarts

I've heard nothing but great things about Republic Commando.

And really, haven't most great Star Wars games just been Star Wars + x?

I mean, Battlefront is just Star Wars + Battlefield.

Skull2185

I thought Republic Commando was only ok. I'm in the minority on that opinion, though.

Two Headed Boy

Republic Commando holds up pretty well, and can be played in 1080p on PC. Love that game.

I found the 1313 footage pretty disappointing, but only because there wasn't much of it. It could be good, but I want to hear/see more about using gadgets. If the combat is mostly just cover-based Uncharted-esque shooting, that would be unfortunate.

DarkPrimus

Sure, it looks great, but is it fun?

Nightslyr

Are there any gameplay vids beyond the hallway shootout and jumping/climbing on the falling ship? Because both of those - from a gameplay POV - strike me as being generic as hell.

Alegis

This might be something


bit disappointed it'll be mostly 'cover sitting' though

Republic Commando is one of the top tier Star Wars games and worth playing. It should be pretty easy to find a copy of it.

Keysier

The only "gadget" it looked like he used was a concussive round (at the end that I guess blows the guy out the door). He has bounty hunter-esque bracers which I am going to assume just like Kotor are magic bracers that can do anything you want as long as you put your mind to it. Flamethrower? Ya. Carbonize? Hell ya. Railgun? Of Course! Rockets? Yap! Darts? WOO!

Whoever makes those bracers needs to give me a pair



It'll be difficult for this game to suck if they really follow an uncharted formula. Not some bullshit 2 hour game but a game that is immersive and has powerful characters and locals. Judging from the engine they are playing for keeps. I assume it is going to look like total shit on a console because they'll hand it off to some poor schlub to do the port, but since the demo is running on the PC I could care less.

Republic Commando is awesome. It's on par with Jedi Outcast and Academy.

And did Darth Vader ever get around to kicking that Gary Stu Starkiller right in his mouth?

Ehh....

I know I'm probably the only person who feels this way, but to me, Uncharted is criminally overrated. Too scripted, too linear. Prince of Persia platforming + generic cover shooter gun play. Tries to make up for its bland gameplay with set pieces/cutscenes. I made it through the first game, which at the time was novel, even though I greatly disliked how it devolved into a corridor shooter with zombies at the end. I can't bring myself to make it past the initial jungle part in the sequel, despite several attempts to give it a fair shake. The novelty has worn off.

When I look at 1313, from what I've seen, it's more of the same. It's certainly pretty, but the gameplay looks tired, and the whole thing seems to simply be about highly scripted spectacle. Same goes for Lara Croft.

BritishDavid

Uncharted 2 is one of the finest video games ever made. Also the sequel opens in the snow, and then there's more snow & and a awesome bit on a train, and a fight with a tank, and ... its just great.

steejee

It's pretty.

However anything with 'Star Wars' in it immediately goes into the 'wait for reviews' pile, as going by its batting average it seems like a SW game is more likely to be a waste of time/money than something memorable.

Yes, I know it opens in the snow. With Drake waking up and bleeding out from a stomach wound, yet miraculously being able to climb 25-50 feet of train straight up, in the freezing cold.

About an hour in, it goes back to the jungle, in a flashback sequence.

It was an hour that has repeatedly told me that I don't like that kind of game. Opinions, and all that.

V Faction

When things explode, they leave chest-high cover conveniently. It's exactly like real life!

As I said previously in a post, I hope it's more Adventure and less Action. The comparisons to Uncharted are not something to feel scared about, but I definitely hope there's more to it then Run N' Gun. But at the same time, if they can capture that essence of feeling like a high-tech Bounty Hunter in the Star Wars universe, I'm down.

I didn't play The Old Republic to see their take on BH's. However, since this is the focal point of the entire game, I sincerely hope we go CRAZY in-depth with the kinds of stuff you can control.

Monger

I'll be keeping my eye on this, because it's (supposed) dark, M-rated Star Wars. I know I'll never get anything as good as KotOR 2, but I'm obligated to charge head on into that disappointment, anyway. I signed some things with some blackened lords who shall remain nameless.

It's on Steam, and frequently on sale for $5.

manwiththemachinegun

More adventure? That's very unlikely considering the majority of Star Wars fans just want pew pew and vroom vroom.

initiatefailure

I hope there's a lot of Uncharted's Adventure aspects and less of the action ones... because the end of every single one of those game got real combat heavy and cut the fun level down noticeably. If star wars can balance combat with adventure then I'd be sold.

Etchwarts

Yeah, Uncharted is either something you really love or really don't. I mean, I play it for the spectacle, and the feeling of being in an Indiana Jones movie. But if you're playing it purely as a game, it's incredibly linear and scripted.
