Star Wars Outlaws: The Final Preview - IGN

We spent four hours in Star Wars Outlaws, first-ever open-world Star Wars game, and came away quite impressed at how organic all of its activities, characters, and world felt.

Star Wars Outlaws is a stunning open-world experience, but it's nothing new

Star Wars Outlaws is undeniably formulaic, but I can’t help but be impressed by the first open-world game set in a galaxy far, far away.

Star Wars Outlaws Preview - An Open Galaxy, Far, Far Away

I wasn’t sold on Star Wars Outlaws going in, but four hours with its expansive world has made me a believer.

Star Wars Outlaws Preview: Do I Like This Game Because It's Star Wars Or Because It's Good?

I played nearly four hours of Star Wars Outlaws, but I can't tell if the game is actually good or just fun because it's Star Wars.

Video Previews





















​

 

[Zones]

Game looks really good, but don't let that fact get in the way of your hate boner towards Ubisoft.

So by all means everyone, shit on Ubi for unrelated stuff to this game as much as you want.

 

[MayauMiao]

Preview is worthless as it always hype a game before an actual review.

 

[thatJohann]

wow all these previews seem to be positive, hope growing that this might be good after all.

 

[Luipadre]

Redfall previews were also positive no? Just saying...

 

[EverydayBeast]

Jedi survivor set the standard for good Star Wars games I think people are criticizing outlaws but overall it gets a pass.

 

[TVexperto]

Redfall previews were also positive no? Just saying...

this game screams a review score of 4. only thing this game has going is star wars ip, imagine this ugly protagnist with a new IP, same gameplay, mechanics etc

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Looks fun enough. Will get at a steep discount, which should happen just about immediately with this price dumping company.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

 

[Stafford]

Have we had any console footage at all?

 

[Shin-Ra]

Game looks really good, but don't let that fact get in the way of your hate boner towards Ubisoft.

So by all means everyone, shit on Ubi for unrelated stuff to this game as much as you want.

Is the fact that Ubisoft's selling a deliberately broken game requiring (working) internet services to fix (online DRM if you like) unrelated stuff?

You'd think all the online service downtime recently would make people more aware how foolish reliance on such services is.

 

[MiguelItUp]

We'll see how I feel when it releases. I have no problem doing the Ubi+ thing for cheap, beating the game, and then cancelling my membership. Maybe it'll at least be worth doing that. This game feels so strange though, if it's more than mediocre, I'll be really surprised.

 

[don-mika]

So it has begun

Ubisoft recently confirmed that it has pumped more money into marketing Star Wars Outlaws than any other game it has released

 

[StereoVsn]

Preview is worthless as it always hype a game before an actual review.

I still remember Cyberpunk previews. It's worthless till we see it on release.

 

[kikkis]

Game pass drivel

 

[Roman Empire]

Don't hurt to wait for the reviews before commiting to a game. Ubisoft doesn't have the best track record and we all know that. Let the hype die out and then make a conscious decision if this game is worthy of your money. And remember, if you are in no hurry to play these Ubisoft games go on sale in 3 to 6 months from their release, you can grab a nice 30%-40% discount for it.

 

[Aressa]

Previews Aka publishers ads.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Even after the first previews it was clear what this game is, but not it's even more clear. I'll maybe pick it up with a decent discount when it'll launch on Steam next year.

 

[MALpractice311]

wow all these previews seem to be positive, hope growing that this might be good after all.

Previews are almost always positive. Gaming journalists/professional YouTubers need to stay on the publisher's good sides to keep getting access to events and early access.

 

[Black_Stride]

Why were people sayiing the girl was ugly.
Maybe i got low standards but she isnt a bag looking character model at all.
The hair could do with some work, hopefully we are able to change that......but otherwise the game is looking pretty good.
Just hope it runs well on PC and has an easily ediable .ini.

 

[Revolutionary]

After Massive's Avatar (released less than a year ago btw), my hype should be at an all-time low for this one.

But the few gameplay snippets I've seen look decent? I'll probably sub to Ubisoft+ for a month and play it that way.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

Why do all the aliens speak perfect english?
Why is there a Calamari chick with huge tits?

Gameplay looks insanely average and uninspired.

 

[balls of snow]

Redfall previews were also positive no? Just saying...

So was god of war.
Just saying.

 

[Luipadre]

So was god of war.
Just saying.

well god of war was a much better game then redfall and this game will nowhere near be as good as gow so

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

massive budget cuts...

 

[balls of snow]

well god of war was a much better game then redfall and this game will nowhere near be as good as gow so

Yeah all games need to be a 10/10 or a 0/10. Its actually to poke hole in your anecdote. You should compare to other ubisoft games. Avatar had mid previews resulted in mid reviews, so did Far Cry 6. Ac Mirage some were high on, some did not like its using the same Valhalla skeleton. Resulted in mid metacritic. The only real positive ubisoft hands -on previews were Prince of Persia and now Sw outlaws.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Putrid character still looks like Mel Gibson, but beyond that, i'll see what the reviews say

 

[Masterofchapter]

Nice

 

[Saber]

Those previews are mostly advantajous to the company than actually honest saying, since most of them either go full praise or go to the "safe and tame" route(same happened to Suicide Squad despite the game itself being crap most of them were tame with criticism). It's basically a marketing for them.
It's aways better to wait for actual reviews and gameplay videos.

 

[AlphaDump]

I always thought this looked pretty good, despite the main character looking a bit bat-like.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I think it looks decent. I'll grab the game when all of the content is available for 30 dollars and the game is fully patched.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Lmao, Star Wars... Why does every planet look exactly like some locations on earth?

Zero creativity on screen, if theyve removed the npcs and buildings i couldnt tell it apart from Assassins Creed Valhalla.

 

[semiconscious]

just about exactly what i expected. dumb fun. i'm good...

 

[Terenty]

Imagine believing previews

 

[Gamezone]

I'll buy the Steam edition 6 months down the road when it's been patched.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Game looks like it could be decent though not great.
Don't know why do you folks have to be so damn miserable.

 

[SJRB]

Don't trust previews, boys. Trust your gut feeling.

 

[FunkMiller]

Don't trust previews, boys. Trust your gut feeling.

My gut tells me this will be like everything else Ubisoft puts out.

Turds in the wind.

 

[StereoVsn]

Even if you want to play this, wait a few months (or couple years) for patches, DLC, etc…. That way you can pickup Gold Edition for $20-30.

 

[saintjules]

ACG Preview

 

[BigBeauford]

Why would anyone preorder something that is unlimited supply, and why would anyone trust the words of the access media hacks.

 

[Nydius]

SkillUp's video is straight up laughable. He literally calls it "standard Ubisoft bullshit" in the beginning of the video. He rattles off all the issues with the game, everything from bad AI to extremely basic combat, and gameplay elements cribbed from well over a decade ago (lol at tall grass for hiding inside a base) but then hand waves it all away by saying "but it's Star Wars so I had fun with it".

Tells you all you need to know about games like these. They do the barest minimum for triple-A slop, slap on a premium price tag, and want people to buy it based on Memberberries. (Edit: And they know reviewers like Ralph won't be ultra critical because they don't want to risk their industry access.)

 

[VulcanRaven]

Lmao, Star Wars... Why does every planet look exactly like some locations on earth?

They do in the original trilogy.

 

[amigastar]

Lmao, Star Wars... Why does every planet look exactly like some locations on earth?

Zero creativity on screen, if theyve removed the npcs and buildings i couldnt tell it apart from Assassins Creed Valhalla.

So you can relate to them? Idk
Beside that the movies were shot at different locations on earth.

actually, tells you all you need to know about skillup - playing both sides against the middle, while being 'cool'...

 

[T4keD0wN]

So you can relate to them? Idk

I dont want that, i can already relate to a plenty of star wars stuff, like Darth Vader, because of the anger issues and not being granted the rank of master.

Beside that the movies were shot at different locations on earth.

Game is also going to be made on earth, but its a fully digital product (unlike the movies), they can invent whatever cool looking location they want, the only limit is the budget and time.

 

[Boss Mog]

Game looks really good, but don't let that fact get in the way of your hate boner towards Ubisoft.

So by all means everyone, shit on Ubi for unrelated stuff to this game as much as you want.

You'll have to explain to me how a game that is basically nothing but MJ levels from Spider-man 2 (with even more annoying self-banter) "looks really good".

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I think it looks good. I like the vehicle and space combat, as long as space combat doesn't get super dorky/sim. (loved Chorvs)
I'll probably pick it up at some point.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

Fix face and give free Leia Metal Bikini skins and I will consider make purchasings.

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

Weird.. a month ago or so we had pretty negative/luke warm previews and now suddenly it gets conpared to Red Dead Redemption??

Suuure Ubisoft...
