stepee Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I’m caustically optimistic that this is going to be awesome. I just hope they can get out of their own way and keep things fun and moving at a good clip and to not require hunt and peck grinding. They can just make it super standard ubi and it’ll be fine, just keep super tedious non action tasks optional if they have to have a lot of those too.

A lot of the game mechanics involve sneaking into facilities or blasting your way through using your little Creature buddy in a similar way you used the spiderbot and other gadgets in Watchdogs. I'm sure there will be similar hacking mini games, or "slicing" as it's called in Star Wars. I actually see A LOT of Watchdogs in what little gameplay I've seen. I could be wrong but I'm not pulling it out of my ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 IMHO, Watch Dog's gameplay was distinct from something like GTA in it's use of tech hacks (many through the use of jumping between cameras) and direct control of drones/spiderbot. I didn't get any of those vibes from last year's Ubisoft Forward trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 14 hours ago, AbsolutSurgen said: Transgender Kyle Katarn? It was more a point at what they were saying about the main character possibly getting force powers at some point. Scoundrel/smuggler turned Jedi is pretty much exactly what Kyle Katarn was in the Dark Forces - Jedi Knight series (although in kyle's case it was ex-empire turned smuggler turned spy turned jedi). So if it did happen I would probably just call her Kylie Katarn. Also... a weird side note. Did anyone else feel like the main character's animations and lip syncing were... "off?" in this video? I mean everyone else looked alright, but she didn't. Like the animations didn't match up. She definitely didn't look mo-capped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I didn't even know IGN DID this video. I literally just google searched "Star Wars Outlaws Watchdogs" and this came up I've played and enjoyed all three Watchdogs games and when I saw the gameplay reveal for Outlaws last year, the Watchdogs similarities in the gameplay loop jumped right out to me with how the little Creature buddy, Nix is used and how you can apparently approach missions stealthy or aggresively. When one of the videos mentioned hacking as well, I was pretty much convinced they are using some gameplay elements from the Watchdogs series for this which makes sense. Ubisioft always borrown gameplay from one series to the next but makes it different enough to suit each series. Isn't the Avatar game basically Farcry to some extent? Anyway that's what I saw and I could be wrong but I don't think so. I also expect the game will have enough of its own tricks to distinguish itself... again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I REALLY hope they don't do this... in fact I wouldn't be upset if there weren't ANY force users in this game although I suspect that would be wishful thinking. Star Wars is so much bigger than Jedi and Sith... or at least it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Star Wars Outlaws: Creative Director Julian Gerighty Breaks Down the New Story Trailer | StarWars.com WWW.STARWARS.COM The inside scoop on new characters, plot details, and much more. Quote Adventure? Excitement? A Jedi craves not these things. But a scoundrel sure does. Star Wars Outlaws, the highly anticipated open-world game coming August 30 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, promises to let fans live their best scoundrel life as Kay Vess, an up-and-comer in the galaxy’s underworld. With the arrival of a new story trailer — featuring the reveal of major villains, potential allies, and more — hype for the first Star Wars game of its kind continues to build. To learn a bit more, StarWars.com had a virtual sitdown with creative director Julian Gerighty of Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment, discussing Star Wars Outlaws’ threatening new crime syndicate, the “dream opportunity” of creating a bounty hunter, and how anyone who’s ever “felt trapped” can identify with Kay.

TwinIon Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Continues to look pretty good. I know Ubi open world games get a lot of hate, but I generally enjoy them. When they get the story and the world right, like with AC Odyssey, they can be great games. This sure looks promising on both setting and story. If the gameplay structure is any good this game could be awesome. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Are we sure Star Wars Outlaws is a Ubisoft game? Its director says there are no map towers to climb out in the open world | GamesRadar+ WWW.GAMESRADAR.COM It sounds like we'll just, you know, explore instead Quote Ubisoft's next open-world adventure, Star Wars Outlaws, breaks at least one of the company's time-honored traditions: climbing towers to progress the map. That's according to Game Informer's Brian Shea, who said on Twitter that Star Wars Outlaws creative director Julian Gerighty of Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment outright confirmed (in Shea's words) "there are not" any "towers you climb in the open world to unlock the map." What will we be doing instead of using binoculars or eagles or whatever universe-appropriate MacGuffin to scour the surrounding lands? Shea says, "from what I understand, it's just through exploration," meaning the world map's obscuring fog naturally clears up as you explore new areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 The towers are such a SMALL part of what you spend your time doing in these games. They're really only there to force you to visit an area, and physically do something to reveal the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
