could you sell me copys of your movie on ebay because my computer is retarded and wont let me watch it . please...

I haven't checked this thread in a few months or I would have replied sooner. 

It's against the rules of this forum to discuss financial transactions or profiting from projects like this. I cannot and will not sell you a copy.

I've been more than willing to help people out with copies of this project if they're unable to download it. If you've still been unable to get it, please private message me and we will discuss it. Thanks.

I'm glad to hear it.  If I may suggest again as I did in the first post, though it is of course up to you guys, that I think an edit of the TPM or ROTS could be interesting, as they would expand upon the original plots in interesting ways.  I probably like that sort of thing more than others, but it could be an interesting, different kind of PT edit.

I agree, those could be interesting. Neither of those games are really on my radar as far as games I was considering. I honestly HATED that TPM game! I did like the ROTS game, but Daveytod put together a DVD about that years ago called "Episode III The Video Game - The Movie." The thread for it is HERE.

Eagerly and patiently awaiting to see what ideas you are tossing around to create  : )

Well, I'm much more interested in putting something together based on a game that tells an original story outside of the movies. Something like Republic Commando, Dark Forces, or Shadows of the Empire. I'm even interested in less popular titles like Starfighter, Jedi Starfighter, etc. At this point, I'm not sure when or if we'll put something else together. Bounty Hunter was such a massive project that took an eternity to complete. The next project, if there is one, will have to have a much smaller scope. :)

darth_ender said:

That looks pretty cool.  I'll have to check it out.  Have you yourself considered doing another movie like Bounty Hunter? ;)

We're tossing around a few ideas, so we'll see what happens. :)

Rage00 said:

Thanx for the info Galactus. Checking it out now  : )

You're welcome. I think Kaal- Jhyy's project was pretty great.

Kaal-Jhyy put together a fantastic DVD titled "Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II - The Cut Scenes" way back in 2005. The original thread for it is HERE. It doesn't have gameplay footage, but it does have all the cut scenes and a ton of special features.

benduwan said:

great........great work guys.

is there a plan to do other SW games like Battlefront,Unleashed......or so?

No plans right now to tackle any other video game projects. Thanks for your interest though, benduwan!

And the Special Features are just amazing, I think it would be very hard to find a more complete coverage of the game. This release could really be subtitled "The Completist Edition" (special mention for the glitches video!).

I can completely acknowledge that the amount of material on the Special Features disc is insane. There's no way I can estimate the number of hours I spent over the years searching the Internet for stuff related to the game. I still can't help thinking about the material I became aware of that I was never able to find!

Ah, this release brings back so many memories, and not only of the game (god, can you believe that it was released 11 years ago?...) but I know Galactus was working on it for so long now, I'm so happy that it is finally made and released.

Thanks for the kind words. Your "Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II - The Cut Scenes" fan release was a HUGE inspiration for the "Bounty Hunter" project. It was (and still is) an awesome release! I was watching it the other day, and I remembered that I had "borrowed" a few ideas from you! :)

Thanks for putting this together guys and extra thanks to Galactus for mailing me a copy.

You're very welcome! You were the first person to post in this thread after I started it way back in 2008, so it was just my way of saying thanks for the support.

I think I'll send a few more copies out to folks who are interested. If you would like a FREE copy of this release, PM me your mailing address. I'll send a copy of the 3-DVD set with artwork and printed discs, in a 3-DVD case TO THE FIRST THREE PEOPLE WHO PM ME. Due to soaring international postage costs, I'll have to limit this people in the USA only. Have fun!

** UPDATE ** And the three DVD sets are all taken. Thanks for playing! :)

I've updated the first post in this thread with LOTS of details about the contents of the three discs in this collection. 

Also, check out the links to the two trailers for this release, both of which were put together by ThrowgnCpr.

Speaking of, ThrowgnCpr did a fantastic job authoring these DVD's. This was a monster of a project, and I just want to publicly thank him for helping me see it through to completion. I can't wait for people to see what he's done. The menu screens are so intricate, and they look amazing.

Soon. Very soon. And I really mean it this time! :)

Hi Everyone!

Update: ThrowgnCpr has completed authoring all three DVD's of this collection. I just need to tinker with a few things in the DVD-ROM portion, and this thing will FINALLY be done (after almost 7 years in production)!!

We plan to release this next month. Watch this space!

Another excellent release, sir. Watched it with some friends, and everyone loved it! Can't wait for 'Revenge!'

Tobar said:

So how's disc three coming along?

ThrowgnCpr is finishing things up. We're pretty close. It's mostly my fault that it's not done, as I found a few more behind the scenes clips to add to disc three, and a few things had to be adjusted to accommodate them. I was also able to upgrade some concept art we had to better quality images, and the slideshows were redone to include those.

I've added a link to our teaser trailer in the first post in this thread. It was put together by ThrowgnCpr. It doesn't show much, but that's why it's a teaser!

Thanks to everyone for your patience. We're in the home stretch, and I think it's going to be great. :) 

Soon. Really. We don't have a release date yet, but we're talking soon. I promise. :)

I know this is WAY too far into production to make this suggestion... but I had to offer it anyway :P

Have you considered using Dolphin to capture the game in amazingly-well upconverted 1080p glory?

I've seen some pretty impressive upconversions:

http://forums.dolphin-emulator.com/showthread.php?tid=24725

The game footage was captured almost 4 1/2 years ago, and the two movie edits are completed. So yeah, it's a little too late to do anything different. :)

I have played around with Dolphin to emulate the game on my PC, and I've never really been able to get it to run satisfactorily. It could be my machine's setup, or that I never really put a lot of effort into configuring Dolphin correctly.

As for the project, discs one and two are completed, and ThrowgnCpr is in the final stages of finishing disc three. We're not going to rush it (no point in doing that after all these years in production), so if it takes a few more months to make everything right, so be it.

Here's a sneak peek at the cover ThrowgnCpr has designed. Stay tuned!

TV's Frink said:

Well this explains why Throw has been neglecting his duties at FE.org. ;-)

Uh oh....sorry about that.  :\

By the way, I think the "Ridiculous Menace" is brilliant. Can't wait for the sequel!

UPDATE!!! Sorry everyone for the long period with no information or updates on this project. Until I had something more concrete to report about the status of this collection, or a timeframe on a release, I didn't want to post anything that would just prove to be wrong later.

I've updated the first post of this thread with some details on what this DVD collection has now morphed into. MoveAlong had to drop out of the project some time back due to other commitments. ThrowgnCpr courageously offered to step in and help me finish up. We have actually been working together on it for some time.  We're now putting together a three-DVD collection (all on DVD-5's). Discs one and two are going to be two different edits of the main feature, and disc three will be special features and a DVD-ROM archive. 

ThrowgnCpr is finishing things up now, and we hope to have this ready soon. I'm really excited that we can finally get this out there!

Thanks everyone for your interest! :)

Bingowings, this game was released on two consoles: the PlayStation 2 and GameCube. I personally spent *many* hours with both. The cut scenes are the same quality on both, but the gameplay is definitely better looking on the GameCube.

The GameCube version had a higher framerate, a higher polygon count, higher resolution textures, and the characters cast shadows.

For the final movie on this DVD, the cinematic cut scenes come from the PlayStation 2, and the in-game engine cut scenes and gameplay footage come from the GameCube. I was able to rip the cinematic cut scenes directly from the PS2 disc, the other footage was recorded from the GameCube through a capture card to my PC.

This. release. will. happen. I just hate to keep posting when I don't have anything specific to say yet. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time working on this, and I've collected a ridiculous amount of material for the Special Features and DVD-ROM. If it has anything to do with "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter," my goal is to preserve it in this collection.

It probably looks to the casual observer like this project isn't going to happen, especially since I started this thread in February 2008. However, work is progressing on it, and the original scope of this project has greatly expanded. I don't want to get into any specifics until we're a bit closer to completion, but some pretty exciting things (to me, anyway) are happening with this project! Hopefully fans of this game and those who have been looking forward to this DVD will feel it was worth the long wait when we finally finish it. :)

Any update on this? I'm really looking forward to it!

Thanks for your interest foxbatkllr! Although nothing has happened with this in awhile, this project is *NOT* dead. Things are in the works, and hopefully we'll be able to announce something concerning this project this summer. Stay tuned....

Just a quick update: I received MoveAlong's latest edit of the main feature, and that part is now absolutely 100% complete. The movie itself clocks in at almost exactly 105 minutes. We'll continue to update here as work progresses. Thanks everyone!

Not much has happened with this in the last few months. As mentioned above, the movie edit is basically complete. All that is left is the authoring of the DVD, but MoveAlong's schedule hasn't allowed him to finish it up yet. I'm very pleased with his movie edit and the new material I've assembled for this DVD, so I hope it will be worth the wait for everybody. Thanks everyone for your interest!

As MoveAlong said, the edit is basically complete. I think the different kinds of footage (cinematics, game engine cut scenes, and gameplay) edited together works very well as a movie. MoveAlong was very meticulous with his editing, and addressed several technical issues while working with my captures.

The length of time we've been working on this has really been a blessing in disguise. It's allowed me to tweak and refine a lot of aspects of the project, and I've continued to find new clips for the Special Features section. If you're a fan of the game, I think you'll find some really cool stuff here. :)

Hi Ripplin...work on 2.0 continues. MoveAlong sent me his first draft edit of the movie several weeks back, and he really did a fantastic job. After some discussion, I requested a couple of tweaks and very minor changes. Once that is done, the movie portion of the DVD will be complete. Then work will begin on the menu design, authoring, etc. I've gotten some nice new footage for the special features section in the last few months, so we really have a lot of new material for this release. Thanks for your interest!
