Star Wars Outlaws: Official Launch Trailer

Ubisoft does this weird thing where they will sell the standard edition for dirt cheap and have the other editions expensive.

The "backhand slap to knock a guy with a helmet out" will never not be funny.
I've watched it three times now and couldn't see a back hand slap to a helmet?

She had a pistol in her hand, to the back of his neck?

But..

It's not unheard of in Star Wars. These women are brutal slappers

$10 says this hardbitten outlaw from the wrong side of the tracks never commits a single immoral act in 90 hours of playtime. Wonder when wealthy, middle-class game developers will stop culturally appropriating the lives of people who've truly been disowned by the system.

I bet there will be some kind of face mod for the main character.

I also bet the gaming websites will be pissed about it.

Any average sized person could knock this woman out, yet they make it look like she hits like Mike Tyson in all these trailers :messenger_grinning_smiling:

Tell that to Black Widow. According to history, as a small petite woman/human. She stood toe to toe with Demi gods as they protected earth from an alien invasion.

Truly truly hate to be that guy… I hate it when people act like this on game threads for stuff that I like… but…

This seems ripe for a $19.99 purchase one year from now when all the bugs are gone and I can play it for 10 hours and drop when I’m bored. The world looks really cool but the main character just comes off as boring, and Ubi’s track record isn’t good enough for a day 1 purchase.

$20 seems fair. Probably won't touch it at all. Seems quite limited in scope. I expected more planets. And the limitations on stealing stuff even though you work with crime lords is a funny thing.

If you really want to play it at launch and have a device with Ubisoft+ access, that’s your best option since you’ll almost certainly be able to beat it in a month and you’ll get to play it at what will likely be the cheapest price point for a very long time ($18 for a single month).

If you want to actually own it, just wait until January/February when it’s inevitably half off. Avatar Frontiers of Pandora could regularly be found for half price about 4-6 months after launch (and thanks to the patches, it was a significantly better experience than the launch game).

Edit: But to be honest, I can literally feel my interest evaporating with each new trailer they release. Not even sure it’s worth an $18 one month subscription at this rate.

I mean, I'm a middle aged guy with 22 year old kid that no longer requires support and a job that allows me to spend money on frivolous shit. I tend not to worry about it too much, but I get what you're saying. I probably spend more than I'll spend on a full priced game on a night out at a bar every few weekends. So I just skip one bar night and bam, new game.

Hey man get the $100 full of bonus preorder version if you want. I'd just hope to get 100 of value out of it, not 80 is all :)

Horrible trailer. My god UBI, I honestly think the game is actually good, but why would just go cheap on the launch trailer of all things. Did a hack edit it?

I want to make sure this game reminds me that me being a white male, no matter which galaxy I’m from, is a bad thing.

Seriously I can’t even begin to add in the last 2 years, or this year alone, how many brown women lead characters we have.

Is there a secret infographic I missed that a majority of gamers are brown women, or that dude gamers really love playing the chick from forspoken in all of their titles now?

It’s become the new buzzed head white dude meme from Xbox 360 era.

Can I get a few games with a Latino dude lead or an African American guy lead who’s a bad ass? Please?

I would love this to be good. But the gameplay left me with concerns. It seemed to be stealth focused with the only blasters, those that you temporarily pick up. I'm hoping that was just one section.

As for the girl you play as, I'm hoping we can do some full face helmet wearing. Maybe she can steal a storm troopers lid or something...

Should've given her a baton like Aiden Pearce in Watchdogs, would've made way more sense than slapping dudes around.

I finally understand why the main character is so strong for a female lead.

Any enemy that punch that chin, they immediately break their hand, rendering them incapacitated for combat.

Kind of the publisher to give you so many ways to fuck yourself.

Early Access: Pay extra for this and it encourages them to keep delaying ‘standard’ games a few days or more. Why not pay extra for EXTRA early access? Coming soon to a game you might like.

Online Installation: Think you’re buying a game to keep? Well if you ever need to install the game and Ubisoft’s shut down the install-verification servers you’re out of luck.

Digital Download: Think you’re buying a game to keep? Well if the platform you buy the game from doesn’t want to keep supporting that platform, or they get shut down you’re out of luck.

Now if that’s not enough added value for you, how about a subscription rental that’s so much cheaper by comparison? I’m sure there’s no plans to squeeze more out of the subscribers they’ve locked-in.

That ugly main char is a big turn off for me.
Dont get it. Modern gaming sucks.
