Is Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Remaster WORTH Buying? (review)

[@100StarWars]

At this rate we really are gonna get almost every Star Wars game remastered before the KOTOR Remake... aren't we? Let me know if you've played Bounty Hunter in the comments and if YOU plan to buy the Bounty Hunter Remaster! Come follow me on Twitter for all things Star Wars! - x.com/100PerStarWars

Jango being one of my favorite characters in Star Wars and the fact that I never had a GameCube made it a no brainer for me. Games amazing if frustratingly hard in some sections. I love that they have some of the open seasons comic in it too.

"I'm just a simple man auto-aiming my way through the universe" It's on my wishlist so I will at some point check the game out. Looks like it can be a fun time despite the small jank here and there.

[@100StarWars]

That pretty much sums up the game 😂

[@michaelandreipalon359]

It's jank, sure, but the kind of jank that beats out Fortnite, Call of Duty, and some lackluster Half-Life mods somehow.

[@ar2014]

We gotta give some credit to Aspyr; they did a good job with this one. My first impression of them was the KOTOR 2 fiasco, but seeing the excellent work they did with Tomb Raider, they deserve to regain some prestige. The game itself is a different story. Honestly, I didn't remember the game being so meh. Basically, it's about going from point A to point B, shooting at anything, and not dying (It's really fun to use the jetpack though). The first three chapters are absolutely easy. Things change from the fourth chapter onwards, where it gets VERY difficult, to the point where camera issues can cost you against tough enemies like the bando gora, but It's not a game I would replay. It's recommended for the nostalgia factor and if you're a Star Wars fan.

[@100StarWars]

A very fair assessment I would say!

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Imagine in a perfect galaxy... 1313 gets made... But they add a prologue with Jango Fett and as the prologue ends we get a look at young Boba Fett who you play as, continuing to make a name for himself to live up to the Fett name. Combing through the Coruscant underworld and moving to other vibrant planets with an array of weaponry to take down an array of enemies and bosses.

[@100StarWars]

Wonder it may see the light of day... who knows

Jango fett has arguably the most amount of accessible content to build a great game or television franchise on. His coruscant gallery from dark horse comics is fantastic.

One word: Flamethrower.

[@RussianJackal]

Good nostalgia. I didn’t play the re-mastered version, but a few years back I got the original for PS4. What I loved best about the game was the dedication to old-school canon. It was great to run around Oovo 4 after “Racer” (pod-races were mentioned in a loading screen), hear about “the poor toydarian sap who lost everything last season” from Rozatta, and yeah, encounter a Krayt dragon for the first time after learning about the creature from a hunter in a “Phantom Menace” video game, and reading about Jabba planning to pit one against the rancor. Great treat for Star Wars nerds, and just a fun game for anyone who just wants to go “pew-pew” in space.

[@100StarWars]

[@christianscrogins663]

I actually do like the modern controls because in the original version, which I did play a fair bit on my friend's gamecube back in the day, you have to spam the ever living shit out of the A button to shoot rapidly. It's literally 1 tap = 1 shot. It got really tiring fast. Now you can just hold down the right trigger on your controller of choice like any modern shooter. That alone is a huge quality of life improvement for me.

[@100StarWars]

I'm glad it works for you!

[@AxelOwnz]

Its nice that this one is a pretty good port and even with the graphics updated a little. Its a bit better than Aspyr's usual barebones port. Doesn't sound like any issues which is interesting because most of Aspyr's ports have had issues ranging from minor to awful, but people only remember Battlefront since it was the worst. Episode 1 Racer has low res hud at launch, Republic Commando has an abysmal framerate on switch, Jedi Outcast cut out the local multiplayer, Kotor 1 has a oversized hud that blocked a lot of the screeen and Kotor 2 had actual game breaking progress halting bugs. I would want the Rogue Squadron Trilogy next but to be honest, with how cutting edge those were at release and how they still look pretty nice today, I don't see Aspyr having the talent to do those games.

[@100StarWars]

Rogue squadron would be cool!

[@Marksman3434]

I got to play the game over 20 years ago on PS2, and very much enjoyed it, but it definitely hasn’t aged well. With the improved visuals and QoL improvements on this version, I might just try it again.

[@100StarWars]

It's a good one for sure!

[@jakejameslugo]

I don’t agree that the bounty hunting aspect to the game was irrelevant, back then or now… That’s a big part of the game for unlocking items. Despite the action being a bit chaotic with the shootouts, you still have the tools for bounty hunting in each stage, except for the final chapter. The changes for the controls and the scanner are actually pretty significant, which changes up the flow of the game and how you engage with the combat… So I can’t really agree with most of your statements…

[@100StarWars]

Unlocking extras you mean, like Concept art? It has no bearing on the gameplay. If it were there to unlock upgrades for Jango, weapon damage, health etc then it would be a different conversation. And when did I say the camera changes were not significant? I literally said it was a big change but was poorly implemented with explicit visual proof?

[@Gareth-410]

​@@100StarWars I'll never forgive this game for not tying the secondary bounty hunting mechanic into an upgrade and customisation system. What a wasted opportunity.

[@The-Black-Death]

This game is easier not because of the auto aim, but because of the slow-mo they added to the scanner, and when aiming you fire much much faster than you really should by mashing the trigger repeatedly as fast as you can, allowing you to melt enemies with extreme ease. So they at least did make you into Jango Fett somewhat.

[@100StarWars]

I didn't use the slow-mo or the scanner once aside from recording for footage lol

[@The-Black-Death]

@@100StarWars No the slow-mo is activated when you use the scanner. It makes it much easier from the OG since it didn't have it.

[@100StarWars]

I know it is, but the slow-mo is something I didn't utilise in my playthrough.

[@TheDevinus]

Remember back 2002 on PS2 having such frustration with broken camera, unfair buggy platformimg and endless cheap deaths. Coming back years later and same issues are there, gave up on tatooine level as it’s the cheapest deaths over and over and felt like was having a fun relaxing experience. Trash then trash now. Better Star Wars games out there and bounty hunting game could really be done well in right hands similar to red dead redemption 2.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

0:00: I dunno. Heard the Collection has gotten schway fixes, just like Company of Heroes 3 lately and Halo: The Master Chief Collection over time. Perhaps occasional revisits are a must. Overall, can admit that it's more of a "Play the Story, Skip the Game" title, but by the Force, I highly recommend it more than the now shark-jumping Mandalorian saga in Disney, and it is quite an awesome companion piece to the Darth Plagueis novel, the Episode I and II movies, the Jango Fett comics, and other notable Prequel era Legends lore (and to me, it's noticeably better than the Shadows of the Empire game). Worth the Steam/GOG Star Wars Legends library, regardless of its flaws. Next, we should get the same polished treatment for the Revenge of the Sith main game, Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, and the PS2/Wii/PSP take of The Force Unleashed. The library hungers for them. Addendum: Don't call Rozatta a "sidekick" though.

No, I would not count Achievements to be part of the difficultly. Achievement challenge and core gameplay challenge are entirely separate.

in my opinion you take too many things for granted. sure the game wasn't super revolutionary and it has a lot of problems but at that time there weren't many third person shooters, let alone one with that much freedom of movement. the auto aim is super inaccurate and uncomfortable and it's done that way because it gives you the ability to shoot multiple targets at the same time. it's not true that guns are good for everything, you can use them against bosses but why do that when you have more efficient weapons at your disposal that the game itself obviously throws in your face for that purpose?

[@100StarWars]

I mean, I'm not taking anything for granted because I'm talking about this game - not the 2002 version. The guns literally melt everything without fail, I showed it on 3 bosses in the video lol

[@bradydavis5791]

Worth buying? This game shouldn't even have a remaster. (Also, you're wrong about bounty hunting. It's actually integral to the game and depending on if you found the bounties, this would mean you actually get to fight the final boss and see the ending. Without collecting the bounties, you're literally not even going to beat the game)
