I could care less if they're running it on a GTX880 if it's no fun. Until I see interesting gameplay I don't care.

I could care less if they're running it on a GTX880 if it's no fun. Until I see interesting gameplay I don't care.

The "interesting gameplay" may be directly connected with the protagonist, which they still have to reveal.
A famous gaming magazine here in Germany has a 3 pages special just for 1313 in their current issue, which says:

Boba Fett als Held?
Im Raumschiff, das den Abstieg wagt, begleiten ein kampferprobter Kopfgeldjäger und sein junger Adjutant eine wertvolle und extrem gefährliche Fracht nach unten. Was, warum, weshalb? Dazu wollten sich die Entwickler noch nicht äußern. Auch die Identität der Kopfgeldjäger halten die Macher im Dunkeln. „Der Held des Spiels ist noch ein Geheimnis. In der Präsentation sieht man bisher nur einen Platzhalter für den eigentlichen Protagonisten“, erklärte Chefentwickler Dominic Robilliard.
Vieles deutet jedoch darauf hin, dass der Platzhalter für niemand geringeren als den legendären Boba Fett steht. Auf die Frage, ob man im Spiel auch mit Jetpack durch die Gegend fliegt und Gegner mit Flammenwerfern aus der Reserve lockt – also der typischen Ausrüstung von Boba Fett – erwiderte Dominic Robilliard grinsend: „Ich kann das leider nicht bestätigen. Die Identität unseres Helden ist eng mit seinen Waffen und technischen Spielzeugen verknüpft. Aber Sie sind verdammt nah dran.“ Und auch auf die Frage nach dem Lieblingskopfgeldjäger im „Star Wars“-Universum gab er nur eine Antwort: Boba Fett.

In the article, a journalist asked whether you will be able to fly a jetpack or use a flamethrower to flambé enemies.
Dominic Robilliard (creative director at lucasarts) answered - with a smile! - "Unfortunately, I can't confirm that. Our hero's identity is heavily connected with his weapons and technical gadgets. But you're damn close."

Boba Fett?

Honestly, if LucasArts just flat out ignored the prequels and made this guy a new, younger Boba Fett, that'd be pretty friggen awesome.

But I seriously doubt they've got any sort of creativity left to even try that sort of thing.

Maybe I'm judging the game too early, but the trailers really didn't show us anything besides pretty graphics. What gameplay there was just looked like typical cover-shooting and some Uncharted-style platforming. While it might not be bad functionally, it just doesn't really seem that interesting.

My thoughts exactly.

Well I'm awaiting new news and so have to do a bit more research. But, looks interesting, but quite similar to one Uncharted...

I'm really excited for this game, I'm hoping this game actually turns out to be good.
