Gameplay Footage From ‘Star Wars 1313’ Revealed; Think ‘Uncharted 3’ Meets ‘Empire Strikes Back’
The Internethas been abuzz this weekwith the news ofStar Wars 1313, a video game that’ll provide a more mature look at theStar Warsuniverse. You star as a bounty hunter working in the underworld of Coruscant sometime between the events ofStar Wars Episodes IIIandIV.
Initially, several images were released but it was unclear whether they were concept images, gameplay or cut scenes. Now, actual gameplay footage from theStar Wars 1313has been revealed and it’s extremely impressive. Check it out below.
Thanks toKotakufor the footage, which kicks in about 2 minute into this segment. Do watch the whole segment, though, cause you get a better idea of what 1313 really means. Here goes.
The first thing that popped into my head, and a lot of yours I’m sure, wasUncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. The placement of the camera, the massive action, the way the environments dictate movement,Star Wars 1313looks likeUnchartedin theStar Warsuniverse. And it’s certainly no coincidence that the huge area they’re in looks like the shaft on Cloud City at the end ofThe Empire Strikes Back.
What remains unclear, however, is if this is a free world game likeGrand Theft Autoor a linear on likeUncharted. Based on that footage, plus the incredible detail and action, it’s almost certainly the latter. However, if it is linear, that might take a bit of the bite out of the conceit of being a bounty hunter and actually “hunting” the targets. Shooting people in a linear quest is one thing. Actually hunting someone based on clues is something else.
