That's not KOTOR if you have RPG tastes, Republic Commando if you have shooter tastes or Tie Fighter if you have flight sim tastes so no.

Not op, but desu I liked Bounty Hunter more than RepCom - thought the story was more interesting, and the boss fights were great.
Not just droids and all.

Did this game get stupidly difficult in the later levels or was I just shit at video games when I was 12?

That isn't Shadow of the Empire, Rogue Leader, Dark Forces 2 or Tie Fighter. All of which are so good I can't pick a best one.

>>343385713

That one huge room in the prison where you're getting shot at from every direction was pretty annoying.

So was the Tatooine level where they took away your jetpack, flamethrower and missiles for some reason.
>>
>>343385713
Yes, it does.

Around the moon prison level enemies start to use blue lasers which are insanely powerful.

Even later on the Bando Gora snipers will make you their bitch the moment they see you.

Their mistake was thinking anyone gave a fuck about ground combat.

If they had cut that out entirely and just focused on making the space battles better it would have been a top tier game.

It's a GameCube game ported to PS2 and Xbox afterwards, GC didn't have camera control so what did you expect.
Also PS2 version is downgraded from GC, some effects are missing and real time shadows got completely axed on PS2.

Fixes music, makes it dynamic, adds widescreen, makes the game run in 60 FPS rather than 30.

Literally everything you'd want from HD remaster.

It never came to Xbox, anon.

You're right about the rest though. PS2 ports were almost always shit-tier because MUH CHEAP DVD PLAYER.
>>
>>343388209
I could've sworn it also had an Xbox port, but yeah I was only familiar with the GC and PS2 versions, with GC being the main platform of the game and PS2 being a port of that missing content.

Emulate it on Dolphin to save yourself a headache, it's an amazing game and the shaders and real time shadows add to the experience.
>>
>>343388048
thank you SO much, been waiting for something like this
>>
>>343388275
I had the GC version too. Based on what I've seen on YouTube, I'd agree with your conclusion.

I only have the PS4 version because I got it and the other 3 Star Wars PS4 ports for free from Newegg.
>>
>>343388350
You will have a black void on the bottom right part of the screen where the UI would normally be in lower resolutions, but that can't be fixed short of getting source code access to the game and making new UI.
You can see it on pic related how it looks, don't mind the shitty compression, that's just Steam.
>>
>>343388447
Fair enough, I assumed you bought it since the PS4 version is just an emulated PS2 Original, it's not a remaster or anything. PS4's build-in PS2 Emulator just has 2x Resolution rendering (so games render in 1280x960 instead of 640x480), wheras PS3's PS2 Emulator only had 1x Resolution as PS3 was too weak to emulate shit better.
>>
>>343384887
I think it's fucking dogshit

>>343388485
Though Voobly has a better widescreen hack that looks like this and has better UI.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1cWvWJWF6k

Unfortunately Voobly's widescreen hack is ram-injection based as in it injects itself into memory in real time and requires Voobly running to play AND doesn't support campaigns since campaign UI is slightly different and the game crashes immediately if you try to play them on Voobly.
Voobly is a better alternative if you want to play Multiplayer though.

I enjoyed it at the time but knew it was because I was a kid. I got up to the part where you get captured on that desert planet and have to escape. I had to stop playing quite shortly after that, it wasn't fun anymore at all.

I was privy to Obi Wan at the time but well....

A game with realistic lightsaber combat will never be fun since instagib is not fun at all you goddamn moron.
And JK2 and 3 both allow you to instagib if you use g_saberrealisticcombat 3
And it's not fun at all beyond novelty factor in single player for first 5 minutes.

>instagib
I don't want instagibbing, I want CUTTING ACTION.

Sometimes I just want to cut things like I'm holding a goddamned lightsaber and not a wiffle bat. Why even make a game where you hold a lightsaber if you're going to make it take 3-4 hits before the person goes flying to the floor like they were struck?

I want to dynamically slice through grunts and the environment alike. I want to feel like a Jedi.

>>343389635
>dynamically
You don't even realize how unfeasible both in terms of budget, gameplay and technology it would be to make a game like that.
Protip, Kojima tired making it with MGS Rising and he had to cancel the game because they couldn't make it in any way fun.
One-shotting enemies is not fun.

Seriously get cancer and die, you're like a 5 year old that can't use brain.
JK2 and 3 are peak of lightsaber combat and you are an inbred cockmongling nigger for not realizing that anything more than that would be not fun to play.
>>
>>343389739
Jesus Christ calm down, I understand that it wouldn't be something to hold my interest for multiple hours.

I'm the kinda guy that likes to relax sometimes and play GTA with cheats. I know that's just spitting in the face of the serious hobby of gaming, but try not to explode.
>>
>>343389814
Thanks for proving that a game like that wouldn't even sell seeing as you, the target audience that would demand such a game, would be interested in it for merely few hours at most.

And if you realize it's stupid and spitting in the face of gaming why do you even bother posting? I mean fuck, think before you act.
>>
>>343389632
>He thinks it's actually been canceled in anything but name alone

Visceral is working on a "mystery" project that has already shown use of 1313 art. They are also one of the better studios to take on a game like 1313 (Dante's Inferno, Dead Space).

I was just making fun of you, I don't really think that.

But there's an okay-sized handful of small simulation games designed to test how far graphics can go, this would be a good theme for something like that. At least it'd be the only time anyone's ever had fun using a lightsaber in a video game, even if it's a short burst of fun.

Visceral's game is clearly NOT 1313, it has a nigger with lightsaber as protag.

1313 was not even name of the game, it was a codename. The actual name of the game was Bounty Lost and it was literally a sequel to Bounty Hunter, starring Boba Fett.

its amazing with nostalgia goggles and just trying to have fun. otherwise its a pretty bad game. controls are ass and it doesnt exactly do anything interesting.
however i cant deny that the satisfaction of playing as a Bounty Hunter after having played plenty of games where i was a soldier or jedi was just great. it's a shame that in TOR the Bounty Hunter has such a strong voice for the female character. it just doesnt fit the kind of appearance i go for. same for Soldier.

Yeah, it's like 30 fps hardly and has a terrible input lag partly because of it. If you haven't, try out some footage of it on youtube.

I wish more games did things like BAT. Fuck graphics, give me 60fps (mute if need be). It turns off most textures and effects so you can fight at a decent framerate.
