we don't know yet, but his game was supposed to be openworld I think, this doesn't sound open world but Uncharted :s

to be fair, the description doesn't mean the game can't be open world, you can make open world game with cover based shooting, platforming, and occasional qte cinematic moment.

 

[Makoto]

Will players take on the role of Boba Fett's secret apprentice?

 

[Jtrizzy]

wow. nothing about this gives me any hope.

 

[Nibel]

"Hey guys we make a Star Wars game but without you using the force or lightsabers"

:/
I hope it has a jetpack

 

[Kenshin001]

I don't think making Uncharted comparisons is cynical... unless you hate Uncharted

I meant everyone seems to think it is derivative of another game we've seen before, not something fresh and exciting.

 

[toddhunter]

So no Boba and cinematic gameplay?

 

[TheMan]

ugh, i just wanna play as a jedi. everything else is bullshit.

 

[Pooya]

right.

 

[darkwing]

ugh, i just wanna play as a jedi. everything else is bullshit.

but Boba Fett is popular

 

[Agent Ironside]

What if, hey guys, guys, what if every, what if every kill in this game, was a QTE.

 

[Aselith]

Too bad it's not SW Bounty Hunter 2. I liked that game a lot.

 

[TheMan]

but Boba Fett is popular

i don't care what the proletariat wants, i want jedi

 

[CountAntonius]

Please be a Star Wars game with Jedi Knight style combat and MP...
Please be a Star Wars game with Jedi Knight style combat and MP...
Please be a Star Wars game with Jedi Knight style combat and MP...

Please be something like Rogue Squadron or X-Wing/TieFighter/XWA or Battlefront or hell Ill take something like Empire at War or Republic Commando or KoTOR 1.

So many ways to get it right

Pretty amazing how true this statement is and how I have zero faith that they will.

 

[CrazyDude]

i don't care what the proletariat wants, i want jedi

You don't know what you want.

 

[Callibretto]

come on be positive man, being a bounty hunter with fancy gadget have more gameplay potential than treasure hunter with no gadgets and tools like Nathan Drake. I think we can expect some jetpack gameplay, or maybe the bounty hunter have batman grapling hook, or whatever fun weapon he can use. even if the structure is linear like Uncharted, it can still be great.

be positive

 

[darkwing]

I hope they get Nolan North for the VA

 

[volturnus]

I get the feeling this is going to be a 6 hours long Uncharted/Gears knockoff with tacked on multiplayer.

to be fair, the description doesn't mean the game can't be open world, you can make open world game with cover based shooting, platforming, and occasional qte cinematic moment.

It would've been in the description if it was, since it's a much bigger selling point than ''cover-based combat''.

 

[Sloane]

"playable cinematic gameplay"?

this term is gold. lol

Hahaha, seriously, who comes up with this stuff?

 

[Jtrizzy]

Can't we just get a Star Wars arpg like MUA or Diablo with all of the great characters over the years?

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

"Star Wars 1313 dives into a part of the Star Wars mythos that we've always known existed, but never had a chance to visit," LucasArts president Paul Meegan said in a statement.

Ah the great star wars mythos of being a no name bounty hunter shooting bums underground.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I meant everyone seems to think it is derivative of another game we've seen before, not something fresh and exciting.

Well it's likely either the former or in-between.

 

[Data West]

ugh, i just wanna play as a jedi. everything else is bullshit.

There's about a hundred other games where you can play as a Jedi. Have fun

Also, they didn't say you don't play as Boba Fett. It's not like Boba was born in Mandalorian armor. If it was just a new character, why would the guy tell Geoff he can't tell him who the main character is?

 

[chickdigger802]

internally-developed


What was the last shooter lucasarts made? That one with the terraforming grenades right?

 

[ProXimity]

This game is going to be retarded.

 

[The Big Rig]

Ah the great star wars mythos of being a no name bounty hunter shooting bums underground.

I'm sure there's a double digit number of books dedicated to that.

 

[UrbanRats]

If it's another corridor scripted thing i..

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

In addition, the game will feature a combination of cover-based combat, platforming and "playable cinematic gameplay".

I see Sir Wally McChesthigh is the lead designer on this project too.

 

[WARP10CK]

So no Boba and cinematic gameplay?

I feel disgusted how dare Lucasarts treat him like this

 

[vagabondarts]

This game is going to be retarded.

from the horses mouth.

 

[Kenshin001]

I want to play as Jar Jar.

 

[Emitan]

Sounds like Uncharted's school of game design. I fucking hope it's not.

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

but Boba Fett is popular

So are crab louse.

Will players take on the role of Boba Fett's secret apprentice?

I lol'ed

 

[Cartman86]

What little was shown from that Gametrailers footage actually looked interesting in an aesthetic sort of way. Have no idea about the gameplay or the final products graphics of course. But I do like them incorporating ILM and motion capture. The idea of this 1313 level hive of scum could turn out to be pretty cool. Reminds me a bit of Prey 2... I just hope it isn't literally an Uncharted clone. I'd be okay with a Batman clone though.

 

[Grayman]

well this shows over.

 

[Levyne]

 

[Nirolak]

PLAYABLE CINEMATIC GAMEPLAY!!!

/me mashes X to win game.

 

[Pooya]

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

Same ole GAF always being skeptical. I for one am up for a bounty hunter game and will save my bashing until at least Monday. Some good potential in this type of game though. Every good bounty hunter in Star Wars must have some kick-ass space ship laying around somewhere, a space component would be awesome (though they probably would have mentioned that).

 

[methodman]

Sounds like Uncharted's school of game design. I fucking hope it's not.

Already fucking despise QTE's.

Not internally developed, just published by them.

So that's a ticked box in all of them. Well done.

 

[Septimius]

Am I the only one profoundly shaken by the fact that even Star Wars games are now labeled "cover-based combat"?

 

[Hot Coldman]

So that's a ticked box in all of them. Well done.

I want a dramatic reading of that PR by Chris Remo.

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

So that's a ticked box in all of them. Well done.

Why didn't you bold cinematic?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

you missed mature

Dash Rendar RETURNS.

 

[cuyahoga]

Is this Clint Hocking's unannounced project?

I don't think this has two CDs, so probably not?
