After the release of Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection this year—a game from one of the world’s most popular franchises—that didn’t meet fan expectations, it seemed like this studio wouldn’t get another chance. However, it appears that the players were wrong.
According to the latest PS5 trailer, fans are once again dissatisfied with Aspyr’s upcoming release of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Remaster, claiming the game looks terrible and the remaster falls short of current standards. If this studio fails again, it may not work on this franchise.
Days Before the Release of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Remaster, the Title Begins to Receive Its First Criticism
In March, the studio known as Aspyr launched Battlefront Classic Collection, which was a complete failure due to poor optimization, non-functional servers, and various other issues.
Fans fear that Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Remaster, the studio’s upcoming game, may face the same fate as its predecessor. According to users’ comments, the latest trailer doesn’t look very good.
Fans didn’t warm up to this new gameplay because they felt it didn’t visually match a good remaster. The game made its debut in 2002, coinciding with the release of George Lucas’s new trilogy.
It looks awful

The trust in the studio is non-existent.

This game could suffer very poor sales.
Yeah but I can't trust Aspyr at this point so this will be a wait for sale game.

Expectations are very low.
Why does this look like a n64 game

The player controls the original clone that led to an entire army: Jango Fett, the father of the popular Boba Fett. The objective is to complete various bounty-hunting missions.
This Gameplay Doesn’t Promise Much, and Fans Are Already Disappointed
Considering the previous experience with Battlefront, this game has the advantage of not having many online modes, meaning that the entire experience will focus on the story mode.
Even so, most players believe Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Remaster will be another failure from this studio due to its perceived lack of quality compared to other remastered games of this style.
On August 1, the game will be available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and PC.
The studio is currently working on numerous remasters of old games from this franchise, but the Battlefront disaster left fans with a negative impression. Despite social media users’ dissatisfaction, the game’s sales performance remains uncertain once it becomes available.
This studio was also responsible for the Tomb Raider remaster, which received much better reception compared to their Star Wars projects.
This suggests that the studio and its development team can improve for future projects. However, fans are very demanding when it comes to judging any title related to this particular franchise.
