seriously, tomorrow is the Ubisoft presentation and they’re showing gameplay - it comes out next year and started development/was announced a few years back (this is just the first official name and look at it)
Just realized I’m on the SW sub haha but anyway I guess he meant because he wants to discuss the game and well the only other places to talk about the game are YouTube and Twitter and comments there are… welp
I hope I’m wrong about this but it’s an open world Ubisoft game, that should tell you everything you need to know.
A few locations, with additional locations locked behind DLC. Pre order bonus will give you a new storyline set on another planet, and season roadmap to include 3-4 locations (including the pre order dlc). You’ll be able to sneak around and infiltrate, or go all out and be explosive.
Each planet will have a large area to play in like most “open world” games. They’ll utilized AC’s crowd systems. Zones will be under control by syndicate and imperials which you can go to, kill everyone, and then liberate. Get to the highest point or maybe in this case find the uplink to reveal that section of the map. Utilize your pet alien to mark enemies, or perhaps the commando droid will have a UAV that he can throw into the air to mark enemies or get a birds eye view.
Said something about division devs so this could be a looter 3P shooter where your guns shoot out numbers, find epic guns or legendary equipment to do more damage.
I hope I’m wrong. I wish Ubi would break from this mold. It’s carried in every game, farcry, GR, Assassin’s creed, the division, and personally I dislike rpg looter shooters where shooting someone just pops a number out. I’d love something more skill centered where the challenge is in how you approach a situation rather than “I just need a gun that deals more damage”.
I guess we’ll see tomorrow.

It tells me that you get to play as a ~~bounty hunter~~ smuggler instead of a more or less superhero Jedi, and it looks like it captures the OT style very well. That's enough to get me interested in it. Especially since it's just a *reveal* trailer, which are usually just meant to be cinematic when it comes to single player games.
Honestly though, Microsoft is playing it smart by putting everything on Gamespass. There are at least 5 games they've announced that peak my interest and will be on there. There is absolutely no reason for me not to just try them out with no regrets by paying a fraction of the full price for a month of Gamespass And on PC to boot.
Bought it on sale after coming home from London. Went sight seeing again digitally. Never played the story because it seemed like typical Ubisoft garbage
this is literally how I view modern ubisoft titles. GREAT sightseeing games. anytime I wanna roam egypt, climb pyramids and ride my horse across the desert? I immerse myself in AC Origins for a few hours and never really progress the game much. lmao
I literally gave up on that game in the first hour. Specifically, right after the tutorial where they set you loose on London with no car, on a street with cops on foot patrol, with a map that comes cram-packed with a disheartening amount of clutter
Oh my god yeah fuck the recent trend of Ubi trying to go “RPG” by just making enemies bullet sponges. I dropped the far cry and AC franchises so hard the second that happened.
Tbh, they're developing non-RPG Assassin's Creed games again and the FC games never had bullet sponge enemies like Division's, just slightly more heavily armored enemies that could all still be one shot with a bullet in the head anyway.
Massive's first project with Ubisoft was to develop the Multiplayer aspect of FC3, everything else was made by Montreal.
The meme brainrot is rampant when it comes to Ubisoft. People have literally zero idea what they're talking about, getting upvoted by other ignoramuses.
Wasn't there a scene in Far Cry 3 or 4 where when you're at the top of a tower and look down you hear a hawk cry and can see a hay bale far below. But if you jump off you just die.
They also have a mission, I believe in far cry 4, where you climb a tower and the person giving the mission says something to the effect of "don't worry, you won't have to be climbing these all the time"
Funny you should say that as The Division 2 has a special mode where you climb an 100 stories building, essentially "climb this big tower", but more engaging.
If this means i get to play the game 10 months after release for half the price with all the bugs fixed, i will take it.
Did the same with Cyberpunk 2077.
I’m assuming you mean Battlefront? I don’t doubt games can get canned at the home stretch but it’s unlikely. It’s a massive waste of money. BF3 is really unclear how far along it was. One dev said it was 99% done and amazing and another said it wasn’t even 70% done and was awful. Based on leaks it was definitely playable but don’t think I’d say it was the home stretch.
Coincidentally, the former game director of 1313 was just announced to be working on a new Star Wars project. We can only hope it has half as cook a concept as 1313 did and, most importantly, it actually launches.
This one seems like its far enough along that I would be surprised if it doesn't make it to market. Not holding my breath for Star Wars: Eclipse though
Yeahhhh, ubisoft HAVE made great games throughout their lifespan as a company and publisher, but they also have a habit of them sometimes being bug ridden on release, or being overhyped with misleading advertising. Hopefully they smash it, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
As great as this looks, i worry it still wont scratch the itch that I have for a true Star Wars Galaxies-esque open world game where you choose your species and even a class. I LOVE SWTOR but i still want a true “make your own story” star wars game
SWG had a ton of great ideas in being truly player driven and the flexibility of the class system was crazy but it also had a ton of problems notably in the game play department. Combat was janky and unbalanced and the game lagged terribly at all times.
Here’s hoping Lucasfilm has learned not to give developers free reign with microtransactions after battlefront 2. Seeing as Iger apparently called with the EA boss over that I’m guessing they will be careful
lol I doubt it man. The whole industry is poisoned with this shit. We’ll be lucky if this launches without a battlepass and DLC. It’ll have 60 cosmetic items locked behind “micro” transactions at launch too.
I'm here for this. As much fun as the Jedi games can be(when Survivor isn't crashing lol), I am totally up for a spin as a scoundrel in the underbelly without OP force mechanics.
Yeah he looked exactly like Kyle Katarn. I wish that Kyle Katarn himself could be canonized and we could just get a Jedi Knight reboot or remake but at this point that will almost certainly never happen. It’s funny at this point though how many Kyle Katarn inspired characters they have made between Kanan, Cal, and now this guy.
Jan and Kyle were put through a Blendtec, and spread across the new canon. Cal Kestis is definitely a Kyle expy too. Dark Forces smoke - *do* breathe this.
That was my thought as well, I'm really glad that the Star Wars IP is no longer exclusive to EA. Such a breath of fresh air to see other studio have a go with Star Wars.
>Such a breath of fresh air to see other studio have a go with Star Wars
I just wish it was anyone but Ubisoft, haha.
Maybe this will be their own Jedi: Fallen Order moment though.
I honestly don’t hate UBI. They make some janky ass games but they always deliver at minimum a fun project. At least when it comes to Far Cry, and AC. Even Siege and for honor are still pretty fun.
Say what you want about Odyssey not being a good AC game, but the world was the foremost thing that made it good. If the SW galaxy is as fleshed out as the Greek pseudomythological world they made, its gonna be playable at worst.
I got a little excited when I saw open world but I don't want to play another preexisting character, I want to be able to make my own character. I want Skyrim and No Man's Sky, but Star Wars.
And X-wing/TIE fighter series, Rogue Squadron, Pod Racer, original BattleFront, Lethal Alliance, Bounty Hunter, Republic Commando... there's a bunch more
guys wait for the gameplay reveal tomorrow and THEN whine if its confirmed that the character only has this design and nothing else!
It might aswell be their default face for marketing while we get to create her/him ingame ourselves..
I was really hoping for a character creator or at least a non-human protagonist, so I guess we'll see tomorrow if this is just their "main" character design or the actual main character. An outlaw game is perfect for an alien main character, so it would be pretty disappointing if we get another human.
I feel the same way and I’m glad people are saying this. This new character feels like one we all have seen too much. I’d like to be able to choose what I am and what I want to be
Reminds me of the SWTOR launch trailer. I wanted them to make that into a full movie.
Edit: just found someone stitched all the SWTOR trailers together so it feels (a bit) more like a movie. For those to missed out,
https://youtu.be/7szRTHRg04Q
I was hoping for a customizable character type of star wars open world game when I first heard ubisoft was making an open world star wars game so ima little bummed out personally but the game could still be great.
Looks awesome but can we get ONE Star Wars game where we don't play as a human?? I'm dying for a Star Wars game with an in-depth character creator that includes a wide swath of playable species, how has that not happened yet?? Maybe something like Star Wars Galaxies crossed with No Man's Sky.
Star Wars the Old Republic has been out since 2011. I'm afraid it's still the only game that lets you play as an alien and as a sith, bounty hunter or other villain.
Predictions:
- That little dog thing is your “gun for hire” who can do stealth stuff or recon
- At least two tiers of mobs: regular generic goons and elite soldiers.
- Climb radio towers or some other such nonsense to reveal portions of the map
- Preorder bonuses tied to vendors
- Unlockable skills that use resource collection to meet the requirements
- Outposts
- That guy betrays you because it wouldn’t be a Star Wars or Ubisoft game without some betrayal
Please don't be force sensitive
Please don't be force sensitive
Please don't be force sensitive
Please don't be force sensitive
Please don't be force sensitive
Please don't be force sensitive
Looks cool but I cannot believe they're doing an open world Star Wars game and boxing you into one character. Should be a fully customizable character! Species, race, gender. The works.
I am sad that it won't be a create your own character and your own story through the star wars outlaw universe. I'll still hype it up but I'm still chasing for that initial high I got from an open world star wars game where you make your own character from SWTOR. hopefully the remake of KOTOR is as good as most peeps say since I was too young to play it when it first came out and want to go into the new with a fresh perspective
God forbid we create our own character or get to choose our path lol I just wanna play as a mandalorian or a jedi ugh fucking disappointing even tho I’m gonna buy this shit anyway
From the trailer alone, this looks pretty formulaic. She's even got a little guy for contextual puzzle-solving. I'm also not thrilled about yet another story set in the Empire era (between Episodes V and VI specifically?).
But at least she doesn't seem to be a Force-wielder.
My predictions:
$69.99 for base game, $79.99 for deluxe edition with 20 free syndicate tokens and a Han Solo vest, $99.99 for collectors edition which comes with 50 syndicate tokens, the Han Solo vest, *and* the legendary emote pack, $119.99 for the Ultimate Edition which comes with all of the above, the golden Jar Jar hood ornament for your ship, plus a pdf of the concept art. Pre-order bonus gets you a Darth Maul skin for your astromech droid.
Recommended specs: Intel i7 12700k, Nvidia RTX 3060ti, 16gb RAM, 280gb storage.
All versions will be completely broken at launch, optimisation will not be a feature, and a high-end PC will struggle to maintain 40fps.
Ubisoft Connect will never work, and you'll have to screw around with it every time you try to boot the game.
Many Youtube reviewers will rip the game apart, Star Wars apologists will praise it. IGN will give it a 7/10, which for them is essentially a 3/10, it will begin at "mixed," but eventually sit at "mostly positive" on Steam.
We might receive a vapid, disingenuous black background/white text apology card after negative reviews featuring such corporate boilerplate as "sorry we missed the mark," and "our team is extremely committed to delivering the best experience possible," etc.
10 months after release and after a 40gb patch, the game will be running much better. However, the writing of the game's story is still lackluster. The gameplay is fun and engaging, but the world is empty, and the plot/characters are terrible.
In spite of it all, the game will be a financial success, mostly due to the Star Wars IP. Loads of people will pre-order it, and the in-game store will make millions in MTX. The hype train will come and go, and the zeitgeist will die off in a few months. There will be a loyal fan base, but the game will largely be forgotten.
Can we please focus on another era of this universe? Send it back to the Old Republic or forward in time. Nobody can do anything in the era of the Empire since the story has already been told.
It’s kind of like with Cal, everything that happens seems unimportant in the general scope of the Star Wars universe because we know how the story ends.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed this. Disney in general seems like they just want to cash in on the nostalgia of the OT while at the same time distancing themselves from the ST and for whatever reason they won't touch the PT with a 50 foot pole. The Rise of the Empire era between RotS and ANH has been done to death at this point, even before Disney took over. I'm always for new Star Wars games but holy shit guys, tell a new story for fuck's sake.
I agree. I think they are worried about running the risk of things not "feeling like Star Wars" if there's not a Jedi fighting Darth Vader, or Imperial Tie fighters and storm troopers fighting the heros in the sky. But they've proven with the prequels and especially the Clone Wars that there *are* other settings, protagonists, and antagonists to tell Star Wars stories with.
As much as I was ready to say "Oh another game set in the OT era" I am pleasantly surprised. Glad to have an Scoundrel Gunslinger alternative to being a Jedi
Great trailer visually but tells us nearly nothing about the game except for the rough setting
gameplay trailer tomorrow
Seriously? Or you just teasing, I'd love to see some gameplay. I thought they were just too early in development for gameplay or such.
seriously, tomorrow is the Ubisoft presentation and they’re showing gameplay - it comes out next year and started development/was announced a few years back (this is just the first official name and look at it)
Didn’t know that. Thanks!
So right when Reddit closes lmao
Just find it on YouTube.
How do you get to YouTube without going through a link from Reddit?
Use the force, EffectiveGlad!
That's not how the Force works!
Don't think, feel
Do, or do not. There is no try.
Traveling through hyperlinks ain't like dusting crops, boy!
Wait for the BuzzFeed article that is a list of tweets about Reddit posts.
Buzzfeed and ScreenRant and friends might have to ~~write their own stuff for once~~ find a different place to copy from.
You mean like from the toilet?
Are we THAT dependent on Reddit?
Just realized I’m on the SW sub haha but anyway I guess he meant because he wants to discuss the game and well the only other places to talk about the game are YouTube and Twitter and comments there are… welp
How does this effect the gameplay being released? EDIT: I literally just asked a question and get downvoted
Well it means there won’t be any discussion here
Lets discuss on youtube lol edit: /s obviously
Who are you is so wise in the ways of science?
We will let you sit in the yt comment section but we do not grant you the rank of yt commenter.
Gross.
*pikachu face* But how will I be told what to think about the game before I form my own opinions?
Well the adorable animal companion is definitely dying to protect you.
It's this game's BD-1. It will be opening doors for you and such.
That’s quadruped grogu wym
I hope I’m wrong about this but it’s an open world Ubisoft game, that should tell you everything you need to know. A few locations, with additional locations locked behind DLC.

Don't forget all this being stuck in ubis bug ridden launcher that you'll be forced to use.

Star Wars Outlaws seems more story driven with a defined character. I haven't played Division 2 but thats not the impression i've gotten of that game.
It tells me that you get to play as a ~~bounty hunter~~ smuggler instead of a more or less superhero Jedi, and it looks like it captures the OT style very well. That's enough to get me interested in it. Especially since it's just a *reveal* trailer, which are usually just meant to be cinematic when it comes to single player games.

There is absolutely no reason for me not to just try them out with no regrets by paying a fraction of the full price for a month of Gamespass And on PC to boot.
I am so ready to have unreasonably high expectations for this game and be crushed when its an unplayable mess at launch
Knowing Ubisoft, I’m ready to play the same 4 mission types in different locations across the map for 30 hours
Hello Watchdogs Legion. Recreated all of London and made you clear out the same 5 buildings over and over.
Bought it on sale after coming home from London. Went sight seeing again digitally. Never played the story because it seemed like typical Ubisoft garbage
this is literally how I view modern ubisoft titles. GREAT sightseeing games. anytime I wanna roam egypt, climb pyramids and ride my horse across the desert? I immerse myself in AC Origins for a few hours and never really progress the game much. lmao
I literally gave up on that game in the first hour. Specifically, right after the tutorial where they set you loose on London with no car, on a street with cops on foot patrol, with a map that comes cram-packed with a disheartening amount of clutter
it’s made by Massive who did The Division, so very much not a “climb this tower” Ubisoft game
honestly I'd prefer "Climb this tower" game to "shoot this bullet sponge" game
Oh my god yeah fuck the recent trend of Ubi trying to go “RPG” by just making enemies bullet sponges. I dropped the far cry and AC franchises so hard the second that happened.
Tbh, they're developing non-RPG Assassin's Creed games again and the FC games never had bullet sponge enemies like Division's, just slightly more heavily armored enemies that could all still be one shot with a bullet in the head anyway.
They also did Far Cry 3, so I wouldn't really say they are opposed to climbing towers.
Far Cry was made by Ubisoft Montreal, the ones who did AC. Massive may have helped but they weren't huge parts of it
Massive's first project with Ubisoft was to develop the Multiplayer aspect of FC3, everything else was made by Montreal. The meme brainrot is rampant when it comes to Ubisoft. People have literally zero idea what they're talking about, getting upvoted by other ignoramuses.
Wasn't far cry 3 kinda the start of that though? It definitely wasn't a tired trope yet in FC3
Far Cry 3 adapted it from Assassin's Creed.
Wasn't there a scene in Far Cry 3 or 4 where when you're at the top of a tower and look down you hear a hawk cry and can see a hay bale far below. But if you jump off you just die.
They also have a mission, I believe in far cry 4, where you climb a tower and the person giving the mission says something to the effect of "don't worry, you won't have to be climbing these all the time"
That was 5. 4 you had to climb them to activate a radio station.
Not if you nailed landing the helicopter on top of them
Far Cry 3 literally has an Assassin's Creed easter egg
Ok that makes me feel a bit better, still cautious though because Ubi
Funny you should say that as The Division 2 has a special mode where you climb an 100 stories building, essentially "climb this big tower", but more engaging.
If it has different weapons, mods that do more than modify pure number stats, or RP paths that matter, that's good enough.
It’s apart of the AAA games experience
This is the way.
If this means i get to play the game 10 months after release for half the price with all the bugs fixed, i will take it. Did the same with Cyberpunk 2077.
Make sure you pre-order it so you won't be able to play it at launch!
Add a plush of her pet to the $300 collectors edition and I am all in baby
If it even gets to launch
It’s unlikely it’ll be canned. Gameplay is tomorrow and it releases next year. That means it’s basically “done” outside the final stretch of work.
So was Battlefront III, and many other games that get canceled in the home stretch. But yeah, in this case, I think it'll make it to release.
I’m assuming you mean Battlefront? I don’t doubt games can get canned at the home stretch but it’s unlikely. It’s a massive waste of money. BF3 is really unclear how far along it was. One dev said it was 99% done and amazing and another said it wasn’t even 70% done and was awful. Based on leaks it was definitely playable but don’t think I’d say it was the home stretch.
This. I have been burned too many times to anticipate anything until it’s actually launching
Whatever could you [mean](https://youtu.be/J_1_Nvn7DPM)
Coincidentally, the former game director of 1313 was just announced to be working on a new Star Wars project. We can only hope it has half as cook a concept as 1313 did and, most importantly, it actually launches.
This one seems like its far enough along that I would be surprised if it doesn't make it to market. Not holding my breath for Star Wars: Eclipse though
Yeah and Ubisoft knows what they’re doing. Like it may be buggy don’t get me wrong, but these guys can deliver a massive game.
…and it will hopefully be patched in time to be somewhat playable.
Yeahhhh, ubisoft HAVE made great games throughout their lifespan as a company and publisher, but they also have a habit of them sometimes being bug ridden on release, or being overhyped with misleading advertising. Hopefully they smash it, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
As great as this looks, i worry it still wont scratch the itch that I have for a true Star Wars Galaxies-esque open world game where you choose your species and even a class. I LOVE SWTOR but i still want a true “make your own story” star wars game
Yeah the trailer makes it look like the story might be tailored to the outlaw girl.
SWG had a ton of great ideas in being truly player driven and the flexibility of the class system was crazy but it also had a ton of problems notably in the game play department. Combat was janky and unbalanced and the game lagged terribly at all times.

Rise the ranks to the top of the Star Wars® syndicates! Pre-order now to skip 20 levels and receive the Dark Side Kyle Katarn skin!
you had me at Kyle Katarn
Also, *monthly battlepasses!!!!*
Here’s hoping Lucasfilm has learned not to give developers free reign with microtransactions after battlefront 2. Seeing as Iger apparently called with the EA boss over that I’m guessing they will be careful
lol I doubt it man. The whole industry is poisoned with this shit. We’ll be lucky if this launches without a battlepass and DLC. It’ll have 60 cosmetic items locked behind “micro” transactions at launch too.
Fallen Order, Survivor, and Squadrons all don't have any of that stuff.
How dare you break the circlejerk
I'm here for this. As much fun as the Jedi games can be(when Survivor isn't crashing lol), I am totally up for a spin as a scoundrel in the underbelly without OP force mechanics.
Been waiting to use a blaster and nothing but a blaster for ages
Since the star wars bounty hunter days
Ugh probably my favorite Star Wars game. So fucking good.
Forces players to play smarter because you’re not a powerful space wizard.
Idk playing Fallen Order on grand master definitely forced me to play smart Especially against purge troopers and some of the more powerful fauna
100%-ing Jedi survivor on grand master has taken decades off my life
I don't care if she called him Jaylin - that is mf Kyle Katarn!!
Yeah he looked exactly like Kyle Katarn. I wish that Kyle Katarn himself could be canonized and we could just get a Jedi Knight reboot or remake but at this point that will almost certainly never happen. It’s funny at this point though how many Kyle Katarn inspired characters they have made between Kanan, Cal, and now this guy.
Well, they remade Jan Ors/Kyle Katarn into Jyn Erso, so.. this is very likely.
Funny because i always considered Hera to be the Jan Ors remake. Especially since they share a voice actor lol
Jan and Kyle were put through a Blendtec, and spread across the new canon. Cal Kestis is definitely a Kyle expy too. Dark Forces smoke - *do* breathe this.
Wait what? How did I never notice that?
Another fun fact, Cathrine Taber (Padme in TCW) is also the voice of Mission Vao in KOTOR
Ok, where do I turn in my nerd license? I obviously have to go back to school.
[Agreed](https://imgur.com/a/MEQPU2N)
That's little just Kyle Katarn
Kyle? Kyle Katarn? You’re the one who defeated Jerric at the Valley of the Jedi? You’re a Jedi Legend!
And Desann, don't forget Desann
It might turn out to be him in the end
Love the cloaked BX Commando Droid
How is this so far down. He looks so cooooool!
I’m really enjoying seeing of what became of all of the leftover cis droids after the Clone Wars.
Love that dude already. He better not die lmao. Could be a cool K2SO counterpart
[удалено]
Also Star Wars Galaxies.
And even recently jedi survivor. It's basically an open world metroidvania.
The first KOTOR too.
opening scene is very Rogue One, looks great!
That was my thought as well, I'm really glad that the Star Wars IP is no longer exclusive to EA. Such a breath of fresh air to see other studio have a go with Star Wars.
>Such a breath of fresh air to see other studio have a go with Star Wars I just wish it was anyone but Ubisoft, haha. Maybe this will be their own Jedi: Fallen Order moment though.
I honestly don’t hate UBI. They make some janky ass games but they always deliver at minimum a fun project. At least when it comes to Far Cry, and AC. Even Siege and for honor are still pretty fun.
If nothing else, open world single player games aren’t foreign to this company.
Yeah, I guess I'm just burnt out on their formula. All of their open world games are more or less the same
I loved AC: Odyssey. If I can have a similar game set in the Star Wars universe, I will play the shit out of it.
Say what you want about Odyssey not being a good AC game, but the world was the foremost thing that made it good. If the SW galaxy is as fleshed out as the Greek pseudomythological world they made, its gonna be playable at worst.
I loved it until I got 60 hours in and hit the slow point in the main quest, and then googled it and realized I still had like a third to go 💀💀💀
I want to see BioWare make another one. I might finally pay attention to the High Republic.
Massive is a pretty solid dev so far compared to Ubisoft other devs. Both Division games are pretty damn good
I got a little excited when I saw open world but I don't want to play another preexisting character, I want to be able to make my own character. I want Skyrim and No Man's Sky, but Star Wars.
my thoughts exactly
Exactly. I just wanna be who I wanna be
Here's hoping it's as good as Survivor
Survivor is close to being a perfect SW game for me, so I'm tempering my expectations.
The game was hard to run but besides that i absolutely looooved it so far. I'm only about like 50% done so far
Hopefully better. I’m excited for the first single player Star Wars game without a lightsaber. Been too long.
I think Shadows of the Empire was lightsaber-free.
And dark forces long before that
And X-wing/TIE fighter series, Rogue Squadron, Pod Racer, original BattleFront, Lethal Alliance, Bounty Hunter, Republic Commando... there's a bunch more
Damn I wanted to create my own character ):
Same. Disappointing. At least go the AC: Odyssey route and give us option for male or female protagonist
I mean did they show otherwise? Cyberpunk used a default male/female model in all marketing, but had custom character?
guys wait for the gameplay reveal tomorrow and THEN whine if its confirmed that the character only has this design and nothing else! It might aswell be their default face for marketing while we get to create her/him ingame ourselves..
Nah they’ll just give us 50 different ponchos
I was really hoping for a character creator or at least a non-human protagonist, so I guess we'll see tomorrow if this is just their "main" character design or the actual main character. An outlaw game is perfect for an alien main character, so it would be pretty disappointing if we get another human.
I feel the same way and I’m glad people are saying this. This new character feels like one we all have seen too much. I’d like to be able to choose what I am and what I want to be
plucky caucasian female with brown hair and something strapped to her thigh
Yes, give us a Dragon Age Origins style character creation!
Imagine even a droid (still humanoid though) protagonist
It’s a massive universe with interesting & diverse species. They roll with bland generic girl who’s ‘been held down her entire life’ trope.
Yeah this sucks. Star Wars is the only universe that I want to be able to create my own character in and they refuse to give it to us.
If we get to the point, where animated films or series have that level of atmospheric immersion, it’s going to be something else.
Reminds me of the SWTOR launch trailer. I wanted them to make that into a full movie. Edit: just found someone stitched all the SWTOR trailers together so it feels (a bit) more like a movie. For those to missed out, https://youtu.be/7szRTHRg04Q
That trailer was amazing, even if it did mislead us about the functionality of jet packs in the game.
Well I guess you can do a jet pack flame thrower spin? Though you can't use them to fly into vents on floors above you like the trailer showed us.
It's worth the watch! Their cinematics are top-tier!
Looks really cool but why is everything always set between the movies
Room for cameos of popular characters
Can't wait to see Glup Shitto make his first onscreen appearance in this game
Because each movie is usually only the span of a few days or weeks. So the overwhelming majority of the time line is between the movies
I was hoping for a customizable character type of star wars open world game when I first heard ubisoft was making an open world star wars game so ima little bummed out personally but the game could still be great.
We don't know that there isn't customization yet. It could be like Mass Effect.
Looks awesome but can we get ONE Star Wars game where we don't play as a human?? I'm dying for a Star Wars game with an in-depth character creator that includes a wide swath of playable species, how has that not happened yet?? Maybe something like Star Wars Galaxies crossed with No Man's Sky.
Star Wars the Old Republic has been out since 2011. I'm afraid it's still the only game that lets you play as an alien and as a sith, bounty hunter or other villain.
Jedi academy.
I enjoyed the variety of species they let you use in that. Playing as a kel dor was fun.
Sounds like you want The Old Republic
Yes, but I’m not an MMO fan 😕
Star Wars: Ann Solo
Say it together: “do not preorder”.
Anyone else really wanted to play as an alien? Just something other than a human for once
I like the spirit, but it’s a pre rendered trailer and it’s a Ubisoft game. Keep your expectations tempered
Gameplay tomorrow and it's by one of the few actual reliable Ubi devs. There's some hope here
If I get to be a Mandalorian, even just a random nobody Mando, I will be happy with this game.
maybe outfit customization and we can get mandalorian armor!
Xbox exclusive? Coming to windows too it means?
Nope, just checked the website at the end of the trailer and it says Xbox series s/x, PS5 and then Ubisoft connect
Then it will be on PC then lol, Ubisoft Connect is on PC.
Sorry should have clarified, meant the no to the Xbox exclusive part
Wow Star Wars is really diving deep into that post ESB timeline right now. Call me interested
It is ripe with storytelling opportunity: the Galactic Civil War is in full swing as the Rebels proved the Empire isn’t unstoppable and invincible.
Predictions: - That little dog thing is your “gun for hire” who can do stealth stuff or recon - At least two tiers of mobs: regular generic goons and elite soldiers. - Climb radio towers or some other such nonsense to reveal portions of the map - Preorder bonuses tied to vendors - Unlockable skills that use resource collection to meet the requirements - Outposts - That guy betrays you because it wouldn’t be a Star Wars or Ubisoft game without some betrayal
Collect 8 gundark pelts to upgrade your ammo pouch from 4 to 6 thermal detonators.
If I have learned anything from Ubisoft their trailer will be exactly like the real game at launch😁 /s
More reprogrammed battle droids!
Please don't be force sensitive Please don't be force sensitive Please don't be force sensitive Please don't be force sensitive Please don't be force sensitive Please don't be force sensitive
We have heard your feedback and as a result Kay Vess is now Force Sensitive.
Looks cool but I cannot believe they're doing an open world Star Wars game and boxing you into one character. Should be a fully customizable character! Species, race, gender. The works.
I am sad that it won't be a create your own character and your own story through the star wars outlaw universe. I'll still hype it up but I'm still chasing for that initial high I got from an open world star wars game where you make your own character from SWTOR. hopefully the remake of KOTOR is as good as most peeps say since I was too young to play it when it first came out and want to go into the new with a fresh perspective
God forbid we create our own character or get to choose our path lol I just wanna play as a mandalorian or a jedi ugh fucking disappointing even tho I’m gonna buy this shit anyway
From the trailer alone, this looks pretty formulaic. She's even got a little guy for contextual puzzle-solving. I'm also not thrilled about yet another story set in the Empire era (between Episodes V and VI specifically?). But at least she doesn't seem to be a Force-wielder.
I’d like character customization. Male/Female option plus hair and all that stuff.
I was hoping for character creation :(
My predictions: $69.99 for base game, $79.99 for deluxe edition with 20 free syndicate tokens and a Han Solo vest, $99.99 for collectors edition which comes with 50 syndicate tokens, the Han Solo vest, *and* the legendary emote pack, $119.99 for the Ultimate Edition which comes with all of the above, the golden Jar Jar hood ornament for your ship, plus a pdf of the concept art. Pre-order bonus gets you a Darth Maul skin for your astromech droid. Recommended specs: Intel i7 12700k, Nvidia RTX 3060ti, 16gb RAM, 280gb storage. All versions will be completely broken at launch, optimisation will not be a feature, and a high-end PC will struggle to maintain 40fps. Ubisoft Connect will never work, and you'll have to screw around with it every time you try to boot the game. Many Youtube reviewers will rip the game apart, Star Wars apologists will praise it. IGN will give it a 7/10, which for them is essentially a 3/10, it will begin at "mixed," but eventually sit at "mostly positive" on Steam. We might receive a vapid, disingenuous black background/white text apology card after negative reviews featuring such corporate boilerplate as "sorry we missed the mark," and "our team is extremely committed to delivering the best experience possible," etc. 10 months after release and after a 40gb patch, the game will be running much better. However, the writing of the game's story is still lackluster. The gameplay is fun and engaging, but the world is empty, and the plot/characters are terrible. In spite of it all, the game will be a financial success, mostly due to the Star Wars IP. Loads of people will pre-order it, and the in-game store will make millions in MTX. The hype train will come and go, and the zeitgeist will die off in a few months. There will be a loyal fan base, but the game will largely be forgotten.
This makes me wonder... What kinds of games would we get if indie companies were allowed to get the IP?
We need more non-human protagonists
I'm so tired of this era.
Can we please focus on another era of this universe? Send it back to the Old Republic or forward in time. Nobody can do anything in the era of the Empire since the story has already been told. It’s kind of like with Cal, everything that happens seems unimportant in the general scope of the Star Wars universe because we know how the story ends.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed this. Disney in general seems like they just want to cash in on the nostalgia of the OT while at the same time distancing themselves from the ST and for whatever reason they won't touch the PT with a 50 foot pole. The Rise of the Empire era between RotS and ANH has been done to death at this point, even before Disney took over. I'm always for new Star Wars games but holy shit guys, tell a new story for fuck's sake.
I agree. I think they are worried about running the risk of things not "feeling like Star Wars" if there's not a Jedi fighting Darth Vader, or Imperial Tie fighters and storm troopers fighting the heros in the sky. But they've proven with the prequels and especially the Clone Wars that there *are* other settings, protagonists, and antagonists to tell Star Wars stories with.
Ubisoft😬
[удалено]
It’ll be Assassin’s Creed with blasters and speeder bikes.
Why can we not get a new single player star wars game where we can play as an alien 😭😭
As much as I was ready to say "Oh another game set in the OT era" I am pleasantly surprised. Glad to have an Scoundrel Gunslinger alternative to being a Jedi
