Final Previews for Star Wars Outlaws are Dropping

Previews don't mean that much when none I've seen make the game look any better.
All that matters is when the game comes out, you can see other people play it, and not waste your money if it ends up disappointing. Ubisoft has been putting out duds to mediocre slop for years now, so I'm still skeptical this will be any better, especially given this game has no single unique/innovative gameplay mechanic at all.

Kinda of looks like more of the same guilty-pleasure, ubislop type of thing, with great art direction, but inconsistent visuals, VAST-empty worlds, middling combat & undercooked systems.
I’d still get it on sale, but not before Wukong or Astrobot coming in a week before & later as cheaper next-gen games.

Fair enough. He also recently did a similar video for his Concord impressions, if I recall correctly. He spent a lot of time heavily criticizing the game but then kinda hand waved it away with a generic “there’s a good game here” type of comment.

Playing this after a months long Elden Ring binge seems like it would be a terrible idea.
The quality difference would just be so jarring.

But wouldn't that break with the aesthetics of the Star Wars universe? Think about it.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.
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.

Nah, bonking someone with a helmet on unconscious by a skinny ass woman is not in any game ever. it isnt even a hard knock, just tapping his helmet.

The odd part is the person next to enemy didn't hear a thing. It's also one of the millions of things gamers usually suspend disbelief for because at the end of the day it's just a video game. But hey, bonk not big enough I guess.

I agree, but this is a bit way too dumb. Sure most would say, ignore stealth then, but I love stealth. I always wanted a stealth game i nthe star wars universe but this shit is hard to ignore.

Why do they do the comically funny *slap* but then a more 'realistic' catching and placing of the body on the ground? It makes it worse in every possible way. Either go realistic or arcade cartoony.

I'm not even sure what way wouldn't look weird on someone with a helmet though tbf most of the times the troopers seem to be wear cheap, brittle plastic. Perhaps a bit lazy, but personally it's not a big deal to me.

She has a freaking gun, hit them with the gun butt. its that simple. Whoever designed this was a moron for missing such a detail. Kinda makes you wonder about the overall detail quality of the game.

What the living fuck are you on about? Ive read plenty of previews that completely slated a game if it was shit.
The hate people have for games on this forum baffles me sometimes

Even some reviews are hyperbole.

Believe me, I know. I loved Agents of Mayhem -- but not because it was tangentially related to Saints Row.
It's one thing to say "This game is pretty bad but I still enjoyed it" and quite another to say "This game has a lot of bad elements but I enjoyed it because it's Star Wars". The latter shows that he was personally biased by the source material and would have enjoyed it no matter how bad the game turned out to be, which he practically admits in the video.

I don’t know… Might as well just sub to Ubi+ for a single month to check it out…

Sadly, the bigger SkillUp’s channel has become, the less honest and upfront his reviews are. You can tell he’s reached the stage of ‘better not annoy people too much, or it’ll hurt my bottom line’, and that’s a real shame. We need reviewers who are willing to call out major companies for their slop and bad practises, but once a YouTuber gets a sniff of some real cash, that ceases.
Very obvious this game is only for people who like modern Star Wars.

Ubi games usually look good, the don't have the Best graphics but are above average SO the Game Will be fine on that topic. Saddly the AI looks like the same dumb one used on most of their games when You can approach and enemy almost in front of it and You arent noticed..this kills everything.

I dont think so, not everything needs to take place on Tatooine or the same 5 planets, they can even be completely original. Plus its not like the newer movies didnt have much more interesting visuals than the older ones.
I want blue trees, pink water, green rocks, brown sky, reverse flowing waterfalls and 5 moons with 3 visible stars or something imaginative, its a boring sci-fi if i can see the same boring trees, green grass, white coulds and one sun by looking out of the window.

I'm still keeping an eye on Star Wars Outlaws with some anticipation, but it's still Ubisoft, so it's still a side-eye I'm keeping on the game.
It would be cool if the game was really good.

Sounds like the same old Ubi formula with a Star Wars skin on it. No thx.
Not to defend the guy but I watched his preview and don't rally see the issue with it.
What I got from it is basically "It's a generic Ubisoft game but you might find enjoyment in it if you are a big Star Wars fan".
Which seem reasonable to me. It's the same as with Musou games, I'm not going to tell you Pirate Warriors or Hryule Warriors had incredibly deep gameplay and stories, but the setting did enough to make them enjoyable for me.

Because if you're a collector you may want to grab any thing that's pre-order exclusive (digital or otherwise), among trying to secure physical copies at launch.
I remember trying to get the FFVII Rebirth Deluxe Edition (physical). It was sold out at most retailers and would be a hard thing to find in retail. But a week before launch I was able to "pre-order" it beforehand within time. Not looking to buy from scalpers.
I also remember when Returnal first released. People were scrambling to find a physical edition and it was sold out in my area for nearly a month before you could find it again.

They are trying to get the feel of the original trilogy i.e. seventies haircuts, space western vibe, everything could be shot in California - as it is an easy way to convince everyone this is good Star Wars as opposed to the shitty Disney films. See also Rogue One, Mandalorian and Andor.

This game screams boredom. It’s like even the developers were so bored of making it that they don‘t even care how ridicoulous the knockout looks. I can’t believe no one thought of giving her a gadget or something that knocks out enemies. They just didn’t care. It’s likeit was made in generic open world creator and it got an SW skin. And even the SW part is boring, like other posters said it’s just the same generic, boring, uninspired planets and locations we saw uncountable times. Why would anyone want to play this instead of the superb Jedi Survivor? Even the visuals are nothing to write home about. Doesn’t look bad but it’s nothing to write home about either. When Division 1 was released it melted faces even with the downgrades it received. But this? Just boring.

Interesting to see they brought in the mark & execute system from Splinter Cell Conviction (and the newer ghost recons)
Still not buyin it
You ain’t gettin me Ubi!
Also I miss Splinter Cell and man Conviction was good.

"Good Star Wars games" (excluding the superb but limited offering of Battlefront 2015) have all been cancelled because of stupid publishers politics in recent times. The Star Wars Jedi games are a couple of mediocre action/adventure titles that also happen to be awful Star Wars games.
Ubisoft has been the closest to capture the the magic of the Star Wars universe, but they may have fucked it up with the way they constructed this protagonist. Best shot at an authentic, story-driven Star Wars game are the action/adventure ones coming out of Quantic Dream and Amy Hennig now.

Ok. Its best played in 6-12 month, with all patches applied for 15 bucks. Gotcha.

There's a difference between positive and cautiously optimistic, and the latter in previews usually tells you there is trouble.

Ubi : I have 20.000 reasons why its exacly like RDR2, if you're a reviewer/influencer.

Skill Up talking about the game being mediocre but having fun just because it’s Star Wars, sums up Star Wars today so fucking well. People absolutely deserve the Key Jangling criticism when it comes to this IP. No other brand can tickle a person’s balls with nostalgia quite like Star Wars, no matter how terrible it gets.

I saw that you can change your clothes but I still haven't seen some freaky alien barber that can change that atrocious hairstyle.
Anyway these final previews have confirmed it's a game I could probably get *some* enjoyment out of once it has a substantial sale in six months or whatever.

Bonks a storm trooper.
The other storm trooper did not realize despite standing 6 feet away.
Great AI you got there, Ubi.
