Published Jun 5 2012, 10:48 BST | By Liam Martin
Star Wars 1313 gameplay footage has been shown off at E3 2012.Stunning in-game action was demonstrated by LucasArts on Spike TV, ahead of its E3 showing later this week.
Taking place across Level 1313 on Coruscant, the demonstration showcased a combination of platform and third-person shooter gameplay.
The quality of the footage has led to speculation that the game is running on next-generation hardware.
Teased last week, players will control a deadly bounty hunter as he uses human skills and powerful weaponry and gadgets, rather than the Force, to hunt down targets.
It is said to take place in a "never-before-seen dark and mature world", and will bring the dangerous Coruscant underworld to life.

Developed internally at LucasArts, the project will introduce an integrated approach to development by incorporating Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation Ltd and Skywalker Sound.
More details for the project, including release platforms, will be revealed in the coming months.
Microsoft released Xbox 360 exclusive Kinect Star Wars earlier this year.
The E3 Expo will take place in Los Angeles from June 4 to June 7.

"The quality of the footage has led to speculation that the game is running on next-generation hardware."
The guy from Lucasarts had mentioned it was running on PC with the latest tech, so doesn't necessarily mean it'll look quite the same on 360 or PS3.

The more I hear and see of this game, the more I am looking forward to it! It will be interesting to see how they executed a ?dark and gritty? game. I just hope they fall in to the trap of thinking blood and action automatically makes it a mature experience...
Must admit I am surprised people keep mentioning Battlefront 3, I must be one of the few people who really didn?t like those games...
