Not looking forward to this. As a star wars fan from the 90's... this looks like nothing but destruction.

If they're trying something like female mandalorian with pet i could try and relate.. but star wars doesn't seem to be able to integrate american social politics with any finesse at all, so the representation will probably just make you cringe.

Sure everyones seen this, but looks like we're getting an open world Star Wars game focused more on the criminal underworld than the usual force-related or Imp vs. Rebel stuff.
Despite being Ubisoft, I'm cautiously optimistic. Surprised we don't have a thread already to be honest.

I really enjoyed their Division games build on the same engine as this game. So performance isn't something one would have to worry about. As is the world. Both New York and Washington DC were visually stunning in the Division 2, as was the combat, with massive amount of weapons to chose from.

This should definately be better than recent EA's Star Wars game.

I get what you're saying, but I don't see any socio-politics insert in anything to do with this one yet.

That said, Squadrons diversity made me cringe, mostly for Kotaku's 'you're doing diversity wrong!' by making the Empire not just a 'white, straight male British' and having for example, your Sqdn leader as a gay asian chap.

Little update I'm reading on the train:

Star Wars Outlaws: Ubisoft Answers All of Our Questions About Its Open-World Star Wars Adventure - IGN

During Star Wars Outlaws' showcase at San Diego Comic-Con, we peppered Massive Entertainment with questions about its open-world adventure set in a galaxy far, far away.
www.ign.com www.ign.com

Highlight of this being for me:
we're super, super proud of because every single one of the locations that we decided upon were decided upon presence of the Empire, one, and presence of the Syndicates, two, so that both the wanted system and the reputation system for the player really clicked. The reputation system is you as Kay building positive or negative reputations with the different criminal Syndicates. The better reputation you have, the better jobs you'll get, the better prices you'll get in their stores. You'll get more access to their faction territories. But if that relationship goes sour, they're going to send people after you. It's all about playing the Syndicates off one another, making choices, dilemmas in terms of how you hand in a quest, that type of thing. At the end of the game, every player will have a different profile in terms of their adventure through the reputation and the high stakes of the scoundrel lifestyle with the Syndicates

Choices WITH consequences, in a modern game?

I'll need to wait and see on this one. I suspect it might be just a reskin of all the other boring Ubisoft open world games (although I did quite like watchdogs 3, at least that one tried something a bit different)

Never played the first one. I played the second one for a while till it got repetitive. I find most of Ubisofts open world games get boring and repetitive, all far cry games since the second one, all the assassins creed games. they are all basically the same game with different graphics. they are fun for a while then they get boring and repetitive.

I haven't played a Ubisoft open world game all the way to the end since Far Cry 2.

I don't have this problem with Skyrim or fallout games for example. I finished those

I've recently finished RDR2. The open world is quite nice.

I suspect its the limited impact you have on the open world in their previous games (caveat: only one I played through entirely was Black Flag) vs say RDR2 where you can at least influence the story a little bit.

Hopefully my theory will prove correct seen as you're going to be balancing your status with the various crime syndicates in this one.

Yeah, never got bored with that either, or the GTA games. Somehow Ubisoft seem to have a knack of making things get boring

I guess it is more a matter of taste. I Found RDR2 and GTA 5 so boring I couldn't even care to finish them. After some hour I just put them aside and never came back.

Comparing it to Starfield, Outlaws already scoring massive points, in seamless transition between ground and space ship, tiny cutcene and than in to atmospheric flight.

Funny part is it didn't even bothered me until Starfield revealed that they can't do it.
I thought by now it wouldn't even be an issue with Space games.

Its almost as if games make compromises and choose which elements get more budget and time on a schedules since you can't be all things to all people. Not like this game will have the interactivity, objects with physics, etc etc. I think Bethesda definitely made the right choices for their type of game and audience.

Interesting to see how this turns out and what it focuses on.

Well, it's only three more weeks until release.
Anyone going for this?

Personally I think it looks pretty good but I'll wait for some actual gameplay reviews after the release before I decide to buy it or not.

There's a lot of hate going around right now, it looks like it's cool to hate everything Ubisoft does, I will make up my own mind whether it's worth it or not.
Generally I like a lot of Ubisoft games, especially Assassin's Creed, and I don't understand all the negativity, some but not all of it.

Current plan is to grab the Ubisoft subscription thingy for a month. See what the games like and then unsubscribe. If it is any good I’ll wait until it’s on sale then grab.
