OMG. This is sweet news!

Quote:

LucasArts unofficially announced a brand new PlayStation 2 title entitled Star Wars Bounty Hunter, starring the likeness of Boba Fett (or perhaps Jango Fett) today.

Special to Star Wars Jedi Starfighter, which ships to stores today, and hidden in the bonus section is a trailer of the game, the name of which was discovered in May 2001, when IGN reported that LucasArts had registered the Web address to www.bountyhunter.com (which, as of this writing, still just leads to www.lucasarts.com).

The CG trailer is quite spectacular in a sense. While no gameplay is revealed and it's unclear exactly what kind of game this will be (though "action" is most befitting), the game Star Wars Bounty Hunter looks to feature Boba Fett (or perhaps Jango Fett), as a pistol-toting, gun-slinging cowboy of sorts with an incredible ability to hit his target. Interestingly, there's a touch of humor in this trailer, too, not a usual for LucasArts.

The movie trailer is quick, and we have split it up into two parts, one large movie, or two sections that make up the whole. Either way, check it out, it's a cheap little thrill.

This might be a sweet game. Hopefully, you get to be Boba Fett, and the game will be like GTA3. You have to get jobs from different criminal lords in the Star Wars universe, like Jabba the Hutt, or Darth Vader. Boba has to make money to buy new guns, upgrade weapons and armour on his Slave 1. This would be sweet if they make the game like this!

Any thoughts on what the game may be like? Share them hear.

That would be awesome! If they get the gameplay right, there could be like flight elements where you fly Slave 1 around... like wether it's fighting or transporting some prisoner or something...

And then there could be gameplay kinda like GTA3/MGS2... not like run in and blast everything gameplay, but a little stealthy like MGS2... but like joeiss said, getting jobs from lots of different people like GTA3...

That could be one helluva game...

Only problem is most star wars games lately that aren't just totally ship flying games lately have tended to err... suck

I know. After Episode 1 Pod Racing on N64, everything has sucked, IMO.

Sounds sweet. If I ever finally get a PS2 this will probably on my most wanted list. Depending on any new info we get.

Yes, but the question is, will it live up to it?

:eek:

Well, we are making it seem like it has alot of potential... But we shouldn't get our hops up just in case Lucas Arts messes up the game royaly.
