Hutta Announced!

I have to admit that there is nothing more exciting than when BioWare releases some exciting concept art of what the game is going to look like. Alright, there are more exciting things than that…Such as a bloody release date. But, I will be fine with just some nice concept art. What we are gifted with today is a little bit of Nal Hutta or as they like to call it, Hutta. I’m not going to lie, but I’ve always heard it called Nal Hutta and never heard it called Hutta. I suppose Hutta is what the Hutts would call it.

The first thing that we have is the image of their huge palaces. I remember watching Return of the Jedi and having to marvel at the large palace that Jabba lived in, but then they came out with this image and wow…That is one HUGE palace. I guess it fits a Hutt’s life. The bigger the better.

Now there is one thing that Star Wars did do for me and it’s probably not what any girls will admit, but every guy will and that’s introduce me to just a mild bit of sexuality. Princess Leia in that metal bikini? Come on! Like that wasn’t screaming “I’m hot, you want me.” I almost feel that scantily clad women and cantinas go hand in hand and I have to wonder if that might be the same as here. We’ll have to see…
When looking at this, I have to wonder about two things. The first is whether or not there will be a lot of interaction between the NPCs in the images or if they are just scenery. And the second is whether or not we will be getting some interesting quests from those people. I mean, if I play a Jedi, I may not get anything good. This could introduce us to perhaps a third or fourth class? Maybe a smuggler? I mean, who better than a smuggler or bounty hunter to deal with the Hutts? Luke obviously couldn’t do it without killing the rancor first.
These are just a few of the images that were released. The rest are below. When push comes to shove, all this shows us is that the game is really quite amazing looking. Since BioWare said that the concept art is very close to what the game looks like, we can image the game playing with this. I just hope that with the knowledge that Hutta is a playable planet, that there is more than just the Jedi or Sith. Those two classes just don’t seem to fit with the Hutts. But hey! We’ll have to wait and see. I can’t wait until Friday.

What do you think, though? Think these images rock or are you bored of concept art and want to see some really in depth playable footage?

Friday, February 20, 2009, Bioware released four new concept art images for Hutta. Hope you enjoy!!

Awesome Promotional Video From The Exodus Syndicate

While browsing youtube the other day, I stumbled on this video created by the sith guild, The Exodus Syndicate as a means of promotion and recruitment. The video is very well done with action packed and choreographed lightsaber fights. Combine that with flawless special effects and realistic sets and costumes, and you get this fantastic display of Star Wars tribute. As an aspiring film maker, and one who is compentant with special effects software such as Adobe After Effects, I can certainly appreciate the amount of work that was put into this video. Hats off to you guys and I can’t wait to see you in the fray, though I regret I will be on the opposing side!
