Top Five Star Wars Games So Far: What You Should Be Playing While Waiting for 1313

From HalfBeard's HUD.

While we didn’t get the E3 announcement for Battlefront III that everyone was hoping for, Lucasarts did show off some new footage from its upcoming shooter, Star Wars: 1313. This game takes place in the seedy underworld of the capital planet Coruscant. Time-wise, it’s in between the two trilogies, so any newspapers or holoterminals you find will most likely be detailing the traffic jams due to construction on the totally safe, inconspicuous space station in the Alderaan section. The game looks pretty fantastic, almost like an Uncharted set in the Star Wars universe, and as a 360 player, that’s very exciting. Hopefully it’ll be more than just a clone of Uncharted and will look to expand gameplay in a few new directions, but even if it is a clone, it still looks like it’s going to be great. Unfortunately, a release date has yet to be announced. So, here is a list of my top five Star Wars games that should hold you over until 1313 hits the shelves.

Knights of the Old Republic

Jedi Knight II: Outcast

BattleFront II

Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader

Republic Commando

Force unleashed is a pretty bad game definetely doesnt deserve to even be in the top 10 star wars games IMO but atleast he picked Knights of the old republic and battlefront aswell as republic commando (still waiting to find out what happened to sev lucasarts).

BABY-JEDI4269d ago

George Lucas has alot to answer for,,, especially those little Ewok's

"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"

The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.

I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.

As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up

If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.

I thought that was awesome too, and honestly i wish people werent so damn critical about cultural variety in games. I feel like people try to ruin devs lives if even one detail is off about their culture in a game and so everyone is too scared to try anymore

isarai48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere

Practically done? Jeez that fking blows because that looked much more interesting then what bethsada made. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the one bethsada made.

Lmno looked interesting.
I'd knock titanfall and fez off the list. Add something else. Scarface 2 man only if would've been awesome. Prey 2 should be higher to. Either way not a bad list. Out of 20 there's only 2 I'd hate on.

isarai48d ago

That gen got a lot of games canned right before the finish line. Cipher Complex, Battlefront 3, legacy of kain dead sun just to name a few

XiNatsuDragnel48d ago

Games that need to come out: Battlefront 3, 8 days, and timesplitter 4.

Skuletor47d ago

One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.

Aspyr if we sell hotcakes get that code from radical or something and create battlefield 3 please

Becuzisaid61d ago

I thought that was kind of obvious they were incorporating mods to piece this game together. Maybe not, but that's made me worried about one thing:

They also planned on adding the modded ending to KOTOR 2 but were legally blocked from doing so, even after they advertised that to help sell preorders for the game on Switch. Could the same happen with this? Any opponents have 3 weeks to bring down the hammer.

Wish these games would just get remakes.

Game companies are not mature enough to handle this concept without turning it into a casino.

shadowknight203132d ago

The remakes of battlefront should have been more simular to the originals. CoD/battlefield reskinned as Star Wars was not the anwser.
