LucasArts has announced a brand new Star Wars game in which you play a bounty hunter on Coruscant during the original trilogy - with no Jedi, just scum and villainy.

As promised, LucasArts has announced a new Star Wars game franchise, the oddly-titled Star Wars 1313. There are few details ahead of the game's formal unveiling at E3 next week, but it's to be an internally developed game and will see you playing the role of a bounty hunter on Coruscant during the original trilogy time period.
The game is described as a 'third person cinematic action adventure game' that takes part in a 'dark and mature world'. The official website is live but features nothing but a quick teaser intro.
The name comes from Level 1313, a criminal underground below the surface of the capital planet. As far as we can tell this is something invented purely for the game, but a quick scour on the Star Wars fan wiki reveals that CT-1313 is an alias once used by Boba Fett in a young reader novel.
'The game puts players in control of a deadly bounty hunter as he uses an arsenal of exotic weaponry to hunt down his marks and uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy. Star Wars 1313 emphasizes epic set pieces and fast-paced combat with a hero who uses human skills and gadgets, rather than supernatural Force powers, to make his way through this dangerous world,' reads the press release.
Although this will be LucasArts' first internally developed game since 2010's The Force Unleashed II the game will benefit from 'an integrated development approach by bringing together great artists across the Lucasfilm organisation, including LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation Ltd. and Skywalker Sound.'
No formats have been announced and there's no hint of a release date, but we've already booked an appointment to see the game next Wednesday in L.A.

]Sounds interesting! I wonder if the bounty hunter in question is named, say, Boba Fett? :P

I doubt it. It's probably whatever character would have been the star of Underworld.

They did do something similar to that. Empire at War.

Just t let you know, three gameplay clips were posted on the Star Wars website. It looks awesome, actually reminiscent of RC, and the gameplay is Cinematic. They did very good with the motion capture on this.

I'll have to see this. Does it look like the game incorporates more stealth aspects?

Post by: Settra on June 13, 2012, 12:32:46 AM: I am looking forward to the new SW game...as long as it goes better than the Force Unleashed.

The first Force Unleashed wasn't bad(had a good story) but the second one just disgusted me and ruined any good from the first one.

I agree. I did enjoy playing them I just wish they were longer...or less linear (but that is my own selfish desire as I like games with a bit more freedom of choices).

The storyline was terrible, it undid everything meaningful about the first one(the sacrifice, the deep characters-THE POINT!) It also had no real improvements in gameplay, answered no questions(indeed only brought MORE of them) didn't really have an ending that made sense and just in general came across as well we want to make money by making a sequel...but we kind of wrote ourselves in a hole by killing the main character off in the first title-so BS undo Retcon and we'll just make it up as we go.

I think they should have instead done Luke, Kyle, or Corran in a Force Unleashed kind of way-the powers and graphics but focused on the rich underdone stories AFTER Endor! Say Kyle Katarn in the Valley of the Jedi but with those massive powers, Corran on his hunt for his wife, or Luke on Byss, Dathomir, Wayland, or a dozen other things with him! They were powerful and with vision and effort those could have been AMAZING Games!

Post by: Thrashia on October 09, 2012, 04:56:15 AM: I would personally like a game that takes a mix of the campaign game from Bad Company 2 and puts it in either the Clone Wars setting where you and a squad of troopers have to fight throughout the CWs, or as an Imperial Stormtrooper and you get sent to take down the Rebles. And have a secondary campaign for Rebel troopers against Imps.

Post by: Singularity on October 09, 2012, 06:25:05 PM: I agree about TFUII, what a colossal waste of ?35 that was., lets see:

-Too lazy to come up with new character, clone old dead one instead.
-Main character is a whiny git who moans about his progenitor's girlfriend every 5 minutes.
-Entire plot is solving said whiny git's relationship problems.
-About 4 missions covering two planets and a spaceship (the Dagobah 2 minute walk doesn't count).
-Yoda and Boba Fett turn up for about 30 seconds for no reason at all.
-Repetitive QTE baddies.
-Exact same villain/final boss from the first game.
-Dark Side 'Ending' is a glorified game over screen.
-Light Side Ending ends on a crap pseudo-cliffhanger that will never be resolved.

But anyway I'm looking forward to this game, but I'd still prefer a Battlefront III or Jedi Knight VI....

Agree with all of this, but I believe you mean Jedi Knight IV.
