Wacky_Baccy Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 Bugger. Now I'll have to get a PS2 I wonder if they'll port it... *wonders* Thanks for the heads-up, Rhett
Boba Rhett Posted March 12, 2002 Author Posted March 12, 2002 I was just thinking the same thing. I'm gonna have to hit my brother up for some money! And your welcome.

I'm SO glad i waited out the console war to see what path LEC would choose! only like 6 gamecube sw games and like 20 ps2 sw games.
Justus Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 Hopefully LucasArts track record for releasing horrible...errr.. dissapointing console games will come to an end.
Boba Rhett Posted March 12, 2002 Author Posted March 12, 2002 Originally posted by Rogue15 I'm SO glad i waited out the console war to see what path LEC would choose! Hate to burst your bubble but several AotC game are being developed for the GC alone not to mention the multi-platform ones that will come. No single console has been chosen. Your glad you wasted your money getting a ps1 when you could of gotten a ps2 for just 99 bucks more? Strange logic you have....
Rogue15 Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 there weren't any good sw games for the playstation 2 at the time...just starfighter. The only reason i'd get a gamecube is for Rogue Leader, but the controller makes that game unplayable for me.
Boba Rhett Posted March 12, 2002 Author Posted March 12, 2002 What about Jedi Starfighter? That looks good. Eh? The GC controller is the simplest and most comfortable out of them all.
Rogue15 Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 at first it isn't, notice how close together the buttons are. I'd probably get used to it after a week of playing it. ya jedi starfighter looks awesome. btw i was just being an ass about the gamecube. It's going to have some cool games for it. http://www.turok.com Turok: Evolution is coming to it and all the other consoles. if turok evolution would've been gamecube exclusive, I would probably want a gamecube. lol
Darth Simpson Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 now i can get a ps2 w/o having to mess with the ps1 to play the ps1 games Eh...? Downloading the trailer now, hope it's good.
digl Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 Originally posted by Boba Rhett Oh my gosh! I kick ass! TheForce.net just posted my news and advertised lucasconsoles! YES YES YES! http://www.theforce.net/games/index.html#14814 Good job Rhett Nothing in the trailer actually Simpson, only letters and a few seconds of cowboy fett
HBK Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 Cowboy Fett was cool/hilarious. Reminded me of Toy Story.
StormHammer Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 So the long-rumoured Bounty Hunter game is a PS2 title? Me = I now feel a bit... I was hoping for another decent Star Wars PC FPS, because they're sort of thin on the ground... Oh well, in the immortal words of Obi-Wan...move along, move along... I'll pin my hopes back on Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter being released for PC instead...
db6 Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 In an expansion pack/Total Conversion to JK2, we might have the ability to play as a bounty hunter, and who knows? They might decide to port this to the PC if it's succesful enough.
Darth Simpson Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 From the IGN 'preview'... Interestingly, there's a touch of humor in this trailer, too, not a usual for LucasArts. Yes, humour is definitely a stranger to LEC...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted March 12, 2002 Posted March 12, 2002 Haha, yeah, what a bunch of dolts. I'm pretty dissapointed it's a console title. Even if they do port it to the PC, it'll be inferior. Oh well.
jipe Posted March 13, 2002 Posted March 13, 2002 one of the projects I'm planning for JO is a bounty hunting series
Kurgan Posted March 13, 2002 Posted March 13, 2002 Man, that was one of the worst "Trailers" for a game I've ever seen. Might as well have just had text.. it told us nothing except who the main character is.
Darth Simpson Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Here's the full press release from LEC. LUCASARTS' STAR WARS® BOUNTY HUNTER™ FEATURES STAR WARS: EPISODE II's JANGO FETT, THE MOST FEARED MERCENARY IN THE STAR WARS GALAXY Father of Legendary Bounty Hunter Boba Fett Highlights Action Game for PlayStation®2 and Nintendo® GameCube™ SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- March 21, 2002 -- The hunt begins! Jango Fett, the most ruthless and feared mercenary in the Star Wars galaxy, will make his spectacular interactive debut later this year in the action-packed Star Wars Bounty Hunter from LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC. Through Jango -- father of Boba Fett, one of the most intriguing and enduring characters in the Star Wars universe -- players will plunge into the dark, deadly world of a bounty hunter, a role Star Wars game fans have long awaited to play. Star Wars Bounty Hunter is expected to release fall 2002 on PlayStation 2 and GameCube. Inspired by events between Star Wars: Episode I and II, Star Wars Bounty Hunter presents an original, compelling third-person action game experience which establishes Jango Fett's place in the Star Wars galaxy, and his connection to the notorious clone army. Star Wars Bounty Hunter draws players into Jango Fett's sinister and seedy world, where thieves, assassins – and worse – thrive. Using his cunning and a host of deadly skills, Jango Fett ventures into the rarely explored dark side of the Star Wars universe to track down the elusive leader of a mysterious and deadly cult. All the while, he'll compete against a brutal rival from his past in a quest to capture the ultimate bounty, dead or alive. "Because of Boba Fett's amazing legacy Star Wars fans have been requesting a bounty hunter game from LucasArts for years," says Tom Byron, director of product marketing for LucasArts. "Star Wars Bounty Hunter will make their wait well worth it, delivering the intense, suspense-filled experience players want and expect. Like his legendary son, Jango Fett is mysterious and powerful. He's the ultimate anti-hero who defines much of what's cool about Star Wars." Gameplay emphasizes intense combat and physical action in the relentless pursuit of prey across six fantastic worlds and 18 levels. Jango Fett faces off against an onslaught of the worst scum in the universe, including crime lords, corrupt politicians, enemies of various species, and a ruthless competitor from his own mysterious past. He is equipped with an arsenal of powerful weapons such as dual blaster pistols, a flame thrower, missiles, and a distinctive jet pack soon to be familiar to Star Wars fans. The development of Star Wars Bounty Hunter utilizes the unique, world-renowned talents of LucasArts' sister companies Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and Skywalker Sound. This marks the first time other companies in the Lucas group have combined their expertise in the production of a LucasArts game. ILM is generating cinematics for Star Wars Bounty Hunter, and Skywalker Sound is creating sound effects for the game. And finally, the link.
Cracken Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 Yay, everyone jump for joy at the prospect of playing a non-hero, depthless, action figure character. Sheesh, gimme a break. I need a game like this like I need an infected scrotum.
Caster Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 Have you guys seen the movie for the Bounty Hunter game? It was over at IGN. It looked neat, had Fett shooting... stuff... -Caster
