STAR WARS™: Bounty Hunter™

... again. The sensitivity of the camera on the Y axis is broken, with a mouse or with a controller, so you end up using only the X axis. It takes two second to feel the problem with it, so why is it released like this ? It's a 20 years old game, did anyone test their game before releasing something in 2024 ? Am I crazy to expect a working product ? The 120fps, motion blur and everything is cool but if the core of the gameplay is broken, I don't see why I should recommend this re-release.

Pressing Y again should make it go back to your pistol. In most cases you cannot lock onto bad guys if your back is turned. It won't always work to aim with the left trigger and try to fire with the right trigger. Jango Fett frequently keeps his handguns by his sides until you decide to move him. Switching targets while using the lockon won't always function if the adversary is too far away. I honestly had a better time with the original control scheme. The modern control scheme needs tweaking in order to feel viable.

This is one of the classic Star Wars game that did it right. Faithful to the lore (of course, it was a LA game), and a lot of fun. They truly did everything to make you feel like Jango Fett, down to even letting you use the scanner on his helmet to check NPCs for bounties and his jet pack. For as old as this game is, the graphics and gameplay still hold up well. It's yet another truly immersive Star Wars experience from the studio that never should have been shut down. It is an obvious purchase for any SW fan, but also for anyone that loves 3rd person action adventure games. It has many hours of fun to offer. Obviously being 20 years old and a console exclusive there is some level of jank, but nothing compared to a lot of the modern slop they are releasing. There is nothing that will prevent you from having as much fun with this as anyone did that played it 20 years ago. It is a true classic and I highly recommend it.

The game did not receive super possitive reviews back in the day and I can see why. The legacy (original) control scheme was actually a boss fight itself, the bounty mechanics were subparly implemented and for a shooter there was not enough weapons to shoot with. This remaster changes a lot. This release makes the game much more enjoyable because the controls are enhanced plus k+m scheme works great. The weak bounty system however stays. In addition the remaster looks and runs amazingly good! There are more graphics options than in modern games on PC released by, for example, Square Enix, to name a few - Final Fantasy VII Remake, Visions of Mana. No crashes, no gamebreaking bugs (there are like T-posed prisoners in some cutscenes) and which is the most important aspect - the already great level design still feels fresh and interesting today as it felt before. However, Id welcome a mouse cursor support as while there are just a few menus, it is a chore browsing through them just using your keyboard. You also cannot rebind keys which sucks.
