Star Wars 1313: Holy Shit²

OniLolz

The demo was made on a high-end PC, everything realtime. They will show more tomorrow. Wii U maybe?
I'm not really a graphic whore but this was AWESOME.

build.

This is nuts, I want to see more.

I'm curious to see if this might be using UE4 considering the amount of crazy particle work going on and the articles discussing how it handles large volumes of them smoothly. None the less they seem to be using an iteration of unreal.

This looks super awesome! I kinda can't wait for next-gen now

aivanov

So, Uncharted: In a Galaxy Far, Far Away?

Paul Pepera

It looks like an on-rails shooter like Rebel Assault, which could explain how they could afford such graphic capabilities if true.

Joshua Stubbles

I don't think every game at E3 needs it's own thread :P This could have gone in the "general" E3 chat thread.

But yeah, it looks pretty slick. I hope the final game ends up looking as good.

System

def not ue4 pretty positive there are major ui changes coming

Zipfinator

Not sure I would call that "gameplay" footage... Cutscene, run and jump, and then spam a key to hang onto that shit. Doesn't sound very fun.

It definitely wasn't baked lighting, it had to be deffered.

Deferred does not exclude baked lighting :P

ZacD

I mean it had to at least be the tools they released with the samaritan demo with dx11 and deffered rendering.

DeadlyFreeze

Probably scripted, they will say anything to procure some fanboys. If valve is guilty of it I imagine everyone is.

moof

pretty.


Gameplay looks pretty boring.

bugo

lighting is just so great, volumetric stuff too!

Torch

Looks pretty nuts, really impressive!

Andreas

Looks pretty, but it's just Uncharted in a Star Wars skin.

r_fletch_r

uncharted is awesome.. old starwars was awesome.. I'd say the potential is there.

eld

Except it's not dark forces, it's not jedi knight, it's not x-wing or tie-fighter, it's not battlefront, and it's especially not kotor.

But I guess starwars:uncharted is what we always wanted

Wahlgren

I think i just blew a load in my pants so strong it punched a hole in the wall infront of me!

Blaisoid

what's up with the inhuman speed of switching to shooting position when behind the cover and crouching back? is this a standard in this kind of games?

Di$array

Hopefully they'll add some insane gadgets into the mix as well as the combat seems pretty solid in a standard sort of way.

Snappy controls are more important than realism when it comes to those things, especially in a game where you jump into cover quite often.

iniside

It's running on Unreal Engine 3.

Star Wars 1313 is amazing and ‪#MadeWithUE3‬ http://bit.ly/M7DvCX Way to go Lucasarts!

But I really doubt anything from rendering part of engine left here.

Alberto Rdrgz

it's CRAZY to think how much uncharted has influenced people, to make some badass games!

why would you say that? UE3 has some really great rendering capabilities

ambershee

I suspect it's using the Dx11 renderer. Looks great, "gameplay" really not so much.

Cojax

It was like 30 seconds of gameplay shown, give it a chance...

Ged

so the big question is...is this the first star wars game where a light saber will actually cut a man in half? Surely if its m-rated they can finally do it?

glottis8

That crazy guy looks like Bruce Campbell in some of those shots.

I like the lighting and the particles. Looks ok... i hope it pays off.

Real-time lighting and shadows quality is just good to be stock unreal.

BlvdNights

Cool to hear some ILM guys are working on this. Really too early to tell how it'll turn out for me to give a judgement. The very little they've shown though has gotten my attention.

The Dx11 lighting system looks that good (plus you can do that in Dx9 on a high end PC quite happily too).

Bacn

As much as I approve of the Star Wars setting being used for something other than reusing the same plot from the films, it looks really uninteresting. It was just generic gameplay in a single shaft.

Bobby J Rice 3rd

Wow, this and watch dog, best looking game at E3 so far I think.

Hm. I really haven't noticed any diffrences between DX11 and DX9 in unreal in terms of shadowing and lighting. Except deffered lighting.

....deffered lighting.....

Ark

Makes you wonder why deferred rendering isn't implemented under their DX9 codepath. Not like deferred rendering is exclusive to DX11. Only benefit of keeping it under DX11 afaik is you can do MSAA, which is pretty redundant with today's shader based/super-sampling techniques.

Plus deferred rendering offers so many benefits over baked-lighting I don't know why it isn't standard.

Woah, dejavu.

Deferred rendering does not exclude baked lighting.

I never said it did, but why would you want to use both in conjunction, apart from maybe using baked lighting for indirect lighting?

Seems pretty stupid to be computing both dynamic lights and filling memory up with light-maps.

Wonder why you didn't quoted my entire post eh?

Anyway, deffered lighting DO NOT magically improve lighting quality, just make possible to render many realtime lights at once.

No. But makes ligting baking stupid waste of time, as deffered lights do not have perfomance impact as well as take very little memory compared to lightmaps.

Ofc course, this must go on pair with properly implemented real-time shadows.

ZacD

Dat real-time shadows

It could however deliver the results seen. so far as the short quote goes I was simply trying to point out that in all likelihood you'd answered your own question. Quoting the entire post would not have added anything.

Some hi-res shots. Direct feed vids also, must see:

"Star Wars 1313 has delivered one of the most visually impressive demos of E3 2012 so far. Like Watch Dogs, it was running from a PC. Not only that, but CVG report that it was running on a tooled-up version of the Unreal Engine 3. The demo showed impressive facial animation, lighting and a considerable density of detail and debris."

Mark Dygert

No doubt in my mind, that is Unlimited Detail in action...

No more action here...

Some 150 people were laid off, and both of the studio's current projects--Star Wars: First Assault and Star Wars 1313--were cancelled.

I hope this means that they are looking for quality games... but who knows.

ZacD

I know this was canceled, but it was just releaved that you would actually play as a young Boba Fett and over the game become the Boba we all love. Why did this have to get canceled!

I'd almost rather not know that. The pain is deep. So deep......
