Gamescom 2012: Star Wars 1313 demo played on a PS3 DualShock controller?

[TGO]

Though LucasArts has yet to confirm which platforms its mature-themed third-person action-adventure, Star Wars 1313, will be released on we believe the live gameplay demo that we witnessed at Gamescom was played with a Sony DualShock controller.

The machine that was playing this early code was out of view and as soon as the presentation finished the controller was whipped out of sight. When PSU asked LucasArts whether it had demonstrated the real-time demo on a DualShock controller, we were told that "platforms have not yet been announced." No video footage or photography was allowed in the behind closed doors presentation, but we're convinced that the DualShock was present at the demo.

Graphically, Star Wars 1313 was one of the most impressive titles at Gamescom. The presentation, which included cover-based combat in a visual style similar to Mass Effect 3, also showcased an incredible Uncharted-style action scene showing two ships exploding impressively followed by the main character then climbing up the exterior of one craft while trying to avoid the fires that were igniting on its outer shell.

This action sequence looked better than any cinematic scene that we've played in Uncharted so it seems unlikely that we'd see this sort of quality on this generation of consoles. But Star Wars 1313 for PS4? That's a distinct possibility. Though the title hasn't been confirmed for a PlayStation platform, we'd bet big money that it will make an appearance, otherwise why would a dedicated PlayStation website be invited to the presentation in the first place?

I see a shock coming to all the Nextgeners when this is announced a Playstation 3 title.

Yeah, I think this will be ported from PC to the current gen consoles. There is nearly 140 million next gen consoles (PS3/360) to sell to, they won't want to turn that money down. Unless the game is too complicated for current gen even with a port.

Are there any other current-gen titles using Unreal Engine 3.9 because that's the specific build Star Wars 1313 is said to be using? Either way, I don't think we're looking at a next-gen title. Watch Dogs is a current-gen title and that game looks amazing, considering it's also open world.

I agree 100%. I here talk that this gen has lasted too long,but my op is we've just begun to see what the PS3 is capable of. 3rd party developers are just starting to feel comfortable with the software. 'SW:1313' looks amazing 'The Last of Us' looks amazing 'Beyond Two Souls' looks amazing things can only get better. To TGO: i imagine their faces would look like our fanboys when FFXIII went to 360 lol

Ok... someone needs some 'splaning to do...

1. Why do "we" believe the game was being played on a Sony DS controller?
2. Why are "we" convinced the DS was presented at the demo?
3. You were the only ones there? No one else there? Just PSU peeps?

That is incredible, on another thread some posters thought what was shown was pre-rendered footage of what the game would be like when done.

I agree. Thats why I'm calling bs on this article for now.

I guess no one knows.

Or maybe it's a typo. Gears of War 3 uses Unreal Engine 3.5.

It is confirmed to be on a logitech controller. PC is their baby right now.
