Last night on Spike, Lucasfilm finally announced what that new game franchise they’ve been hinting at is. The answer, Star Wars 1313.
LucasArts is diving into the most dangerous depths of the Star Wars criminal underworld with their newly announced internally developed videogame franchise, Star Wars 1313. Players will take control of a lethal bounty hunter in the never-before-explored expanses of Level 1313, deep below the surface of Coruscant. Using an arsenal of exotic weaponry to hunt down marks, the player must also uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy in this third-person cinematic action adventure game. It’s a bold new take on the Star Wars galaxy, intended for mature audiences.
Admittedly, I was hoping beyond hope that this was going to be a flight simulator of some sort. Or anything else, really. I’ve got bounty hunter and sandbox shooter burnout. This sounds like it’s going to be a combination of both of those.
Expect actual gameplay footage to be revealed at E3.
Is it really too much to ask for somebody to remake Tie Fighter? Or X-Wing? Personally I’d be happier with Tie Fighter, but apparently playing the dark side of the coin isn’t hip any more…
Bored now. Really, guys? The Bounty Hunter in TOR is much, much more interesting than this sounds. This sounds like an attempt to cash in on the Modern Warfare FPS type craze.
