E3 and Star Wars 1313

For a number of years Lucasarts have not produced a game, sure there was The Force Unleashed II (TFU2) really that was a massive let down considering the first and that developed.

Prior to E3 this year Lucasarts announced a  new project called Starwars 1313.

The screen clips look quite amazing and as seen on IGN's E3 coverage it becomes increasingly hard to separate cinematic from live play...

So whats it about?

an interview on IGN during E3 explains that it is a bounty hunter travelling into the criminal underworld of Coruscant and playing as that character.  Force abilities have been dropped for this game (about time as it was just being exploited in TFU2) for a more Uncharted feel.

Not too much more is known at this point but there is an aim to push this as a mature content game.

It all sounds promising at this stage, hopefully its a multi platform release too.
