You play as a bounty hunter in the seedy parts of the Star Wars universe.  That's the main hook they described.  I guess 1313 is a location or organization.

I think Jedi Knight has lightsabers in it. Maybe Dark Forces didn't?

Single-player focused FPS then? Excellent.

I assume you're referring to me, but yeah, I know that.  But the original Jedi Knight was much heavier on gunplay than JKII.  The first three or so levels of JKII were brilliant, then they introduced the lightsaber.  Now you were an unstoppable force for the most part.

yeah, Dark Forces is all shooter.  Jedi Knight (Dark Forces 2) is half shooter, then you get the lightsaber and force powers; same with Jedi Outcast (Jedi Knight 2).  Jedi Academy (spin-off of Jedi Knight) still has guns and shooting, but gives you the lightsaber(s) from the beginning.

at a point in Jedi Academy the guns become worthless since you're just fighting sith enemies who can deflect everything.

Titled Star Wars 1313, the internally-developed third-person action adventure game will see players take on the role of a bounty hunter navigating a subterranean metropolis Level 1313, beneath the surface of the planet Coruscant.

While the game will make its formal debut at next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), LucasArts announced the game is being development with the help of artists across the Lucasfilm organization, including LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation Ltd. and Skywalker Sound. The game will be based on the Unreal engine and feature full-body performance capture.

Star Wars 1313 will see players utilise "exotic" weapons in a bid to uncover the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy beneath Coruscant. According to LucasArts, the game will emphasize fast-paced combat--the game's hero will use human skills and gadgets rather than supernatural Force powers. In addition, the game will feature a combination of cover-based combat, platforming and "playable cinematic gameplay".

"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.

No details have yet been given on platforms or release date.

Sounds interesting to me

yeah but force-throwing light sabers was the funnest thing ever.

That was a stunt used in the Timothy Zahn books which more or less revitalized the Star Wars novels scene, for better or worse (hint: WORSE). That maneuver was brought into Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, IIRC.

I like the premise. The "playable cinematic gameplay" phrase scares me though. That's the point in the PR meeting where someone should have said "You know, if you say that people are going to hate it right? It's not 2005 anymore."

I'm hoping it will be like Deus Ex but Star Wars. It will probably end up like new Syndicate, but Star Wars

It was not. It had a load of marketing behind it, and I think it was even considered "canon," and a load of ancillary materials like comics and soundtrack and toys, but it was a hot mess.

so, this is basically Uncharted with Star Wars.  Cover based shooter, going in and out of cinematics, platforming.

Looks really good visually.  I'll post the clip when someone uploads it.

I get the feeling that the developers won't be able to push the "gritty and mature" envelope as much as they want to because it is set in the Star Wars universe.
