Star Wars 1313

Yeah, I don't see the next big Star Wars title being Waggle only.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

i'll be pissed if it's a game that's Kinect/Wii/ Move based

 

[DeGenerate10]

I'd like to see an RPG set after ROTJ.

LucasArts feels too obsessed with reaching out to casual gamers and younger audiences. That is what makes me suspect that this will be a Kinect/casual gamer type of game.

 

[Crockett]

Reaching to casual audience with Kinect Star Wars wasn't enough? Don't answer, of course not.

I second this.

...I wouldn't mind a "Saga" game going through the stories of the PT/OT...


...I'm setting myself up for disappointment......gotta stop guessing and speculating...

 

[Benstamania]

I have a feeling its going to be Boba Fett related. We all know Lucas has been waiting on that obvious cash cow.

He already admitted to focus more on Boba Fett in the future years ago. So.. We'll see I guess.

That's what I'm hoping for but it's so tough to get excited over anything new that's SW related bc they just keep disappointing. A Boba Fett game, even halfway decent, would be redemption enough for me.

This is based on what? I'm wondering because a lot of people online think it will be a kinect game. Well...Most of them are just pissed they're not getting Battlefront III and act as if LucasArts will only release Kinect Star Wars and Star Wars dancing games, but still.

To me, a bounty hunter (possibly Boba Fett) game makes sense. They could build a franchise around it. They've been pushing the bounty hunters on the Clone Wars tv show a lot the past 2 seasons as well. I think that might also have something to do with it. Then there's also the registration of StarWars1313 and Boba Fett having used CT-1313 as a code name.

I'm definitely going to be disappointed if it's a kinect/move game, but I really don't think it will be one. To me, none of the signs point to this being one. It might possibly be "Better with Kinect", but I think that's about it.

I guess we'll find out soon.

I want this to be true so bad. Only a little more than half a day left now...

 

[Dark_Lord]

Nothing new really. Just me searching stuff in anticipation of the game's announcement.


There's a newly created Star Wars 1313 facebook page (although no posts, pics or info have been posted) and when visiting StarWars1313.com, the link LucasArts.com/games/1313 appears before it redirects you to StarWars.com. So the game is definitely called Star Wars 1313. Unless it's just a code name.

Tuning in tonight for our big reveal via @geoffkeighley So much heart and soul has been poured into this, cannot wait to see reactions

@lucasartsgames It was an honor to help produce the announcement for @GTTVshow! Every gamer should be glued to @SpikeTV tonight!

 

[Hellion]

The announcement is today isn't it...what time?

...I don't want to miss it......

...although I'm sure it's going to be everywhere afterwards...LOL

Yeah I'm really hoping 1313 is a first/third-person shooter set during the Clone Wars. I've never been able to get over my love of Republic Commando.

My excitement is at an all-time high right now....I hope Lucasarts delivers on this.

 

[Benstamania]

Everyone is betting on a Boba Fett game. I'd be totally shocked if that's not what it ends up being.

 

[dusk20]

I wouldn't mind a bounty hunter type of game. Seriously Bounty Hunter on xbox was a really fresh game. and i very much enjoyed it.

 

[Wolfwood]

I was hoping for a RPG, but I guess I wouldn't be opposed to a Bobba Fett game. As long as it's anything but move/kinect.

 

[Dark_Lord]

It's indeed Star Wars 1313. 3rd person, over the shoulder, Bounty Hunter game! As the press release stated, we'll have to wait until Monday for the gameplay.

 

[Soapy]

nevermind

Interesting that they didn't want to confirm who the main character was...

and from another press release


LucasArts, a Lucasfilm Ltd. company, announced today a new internally developed videogame franchise, Star Wars 1313 ™. The game will make its formal debut at the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles June 5-7. As players take control of a lethal bounty hunter in a never-before-seen dark and mature world, Star Wars 1313 introduces an integrated development approach by bringing together great artists across the Lucasfilm organization, including LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation Ltd. and Skywalker Sound. A third person cinematic action adventure game, Star Wars 1313 will bring to life the Coruscant underworld, the most dangerous place in the Star Wars™ galaxy.

Named for Level 1313, a ruthless criminal underground deep below the surface of the planet of Coruscant, 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.

“We’re excited to share one of the projects LucasArts has been hard at work developing,” said Paul Meegan, President, LucasArts. “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. We are committed to bringing the best gameplay experience and visual fidelity to life and I truly believe the work we are showcasing at E3 will speak for itself.”
