Ubisoft kicked off the show with a brand new look at Star Wars Outlaws gameplay with a trailer and actual gameplay ahead of its August 30 release. Over 10 minutes of gameplay was shown along with nearly four minutes of new looks via the trailer.

[SimTourist]

Big downgrade visually

 

[Killer8]

I like how the framerate just collapses when Jabba is shown.

 

[Diddy X]

Looks kinda meh and never really liked star wars anyway.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I like how the framerate just collapses when Jabba is shown.

Probably due to cutscenes being 30. I dislike when games do this.

 

[semiconscious]

please! no 'did you ever wonder what would've happened if luke & hans had had a child?' jokes (especially in the voice of that narrator)...

okay, i'm actually sorta looking forward to this. i like massive, & i like this era of star wars...

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks like the game does not have a standard loading screen when landing on a planet (it's disguised by clouds/atmosphere).

 

[TBiddy]

This looks... dissappointing? Could be any generic action-adventure set in any universe. This just happens to have a Star Wars skin slapped on it.

 

[BoxFresh123]

Honestly I really don't care for much Star Wars but this has me intrigued. Think I'll be playing this from Day 1

 

[DeepEnigma]

Looks like the game does not have a standard loading screen when landing on a planet (it's disguised by clouds/atmosphere).

Bethesda, take notes.

 

[gow3isben]

Gunplay and stealth seem simply awful.

World, graphics, story, exploration all seem good.

Fallen Order and Survivor will likely still remain Gold Standard for Star Wars games.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Big downgrade visually

Wut

 

[Ammogeddon]

Well I guess at least Ubisoft can come up with space to planet transitions unlike other big budget developers.

 

[Party McHardy]

Sold. But why would I pay full price for this game when I can pay for a month of Ubisoft +, then cancel, then start it again when AC Shadows drops a couple months later?

 

[Holammer]

Maybe they made the protag dopey looking so everything else shines? The aliens designs and animations are immaculate. Almost live action quality.

 

[Red5]

If the factions system works well this could be the open world bounty hunter game I've been dreaming off. Close to the original Prey demo that was canned years ago.

 

[The Cockatrice]

I enjoyed what I saw, glad it has stealth which surprised me, made me think about getting it since I am a huge stealth fan. Atmosphere is awesome which is expected from Massive.

 

[Fbh]

Half of that "gameplay" showcase is her slowly walking through environments

 

[Kathanan]

Looks great.

 

[Nankatsu]

If only this was an Han Solo game.

 

[Hot5pur]

This looked somewhat bland.

 

[Slothbeing1209]

Not impressed. The combat looks stiff...

 

[Husky]

The protagonist kind of reminds me of Aloy. I mean, I want her to shut up.

None of the gameplay in this demo looks interesting to me, but the idea of being able to explore Mos Eisley is really enticing. I wish they'd just show off more of the interesting locations. Can I enter a lot of interiors, and how can I engage with civilian NPCs?

Not impressed. The combat looks stiff...

I think lots of gameplay demos use really stiff movements that don't really reflect how actual players (especially on PC with rapid flicks of a mouse) will engage with the game. Even Dying Light's parkour looks stiff in a lot of the gameplay demos. The actual gameplay experience will hopefully feel better than this looks.

 

[Skifi28]

Look decent, I'd probably buy it if there are no major issues we don't know about yet.

 

[Audiophile]

I feel nothing, it's like I'm watching a remaster of an early PS4 game. It's as if everyone has just given up trying and are relying on brand names to sell.. I've never been so disillusioned with games in my life.

 

[Wooxsvan]

it looks like they are trying to make a movie with some gameplay elements and in doing so they both look terrible

 

[Paasei]

Actually looks like a fun game to play.

 

[Saber]

Looks meh, I was advancing the entire video because everygod damn time there was a "slow walking scene". At least the ship side ins't exactly a drag, but it would be better if the ship gameplay wasn't much robotic. The gameplay at 7:00 looks bad imo, waste an entire animation just to climb a very small place that could be done in a single climb animation. The slow sneaking part is tedious as fuck...

 

[Imtjnotu]

Ya I'm in. Being a starwars whore makes this an automatic. Especially if I could play the garbage that was jedi survivor

 

[amigastar]

Watching this reminds me how much i would love to get a Kotor 3 one day.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Another homely looking mc. Awesome. I hate escapism in my space wizard games.

 

[Raven117]

I think it looks pretty good. Don't know about Day 1, but I'll give it a go.

 

[Arsic]

If reviews aren't caca I'll get a cd key.

 

[The_Observer]

Doesn't look bad but didn't excite me either. Standard open world game with SW skin and sometimes really nice graphics. Jedi Survivor remains the best SW game to me.

 

[DanielG165]

Another homely looking mc. Awesome. I hate escapism in my space wizard games.

She's a thief vandal who spends her time in the underground syndicates of the galaxy, how else is she supposed to look?

In any case, I'm in. I won't be buying this, but I sure as hell will take advantage of Ubisoft Plus.

 

[Spyxos]

It looks like an Ubisoft+ game.

 

[phant0m]

It looks like an Ubisoft+ game.

...aren't they all now?

honestly it's a good deal if you can dedicate the time to beating a game in 2-3 weeks

 

[PatientGamer]

looks genuinely awful. Like a late-stage PS3 game. Graphics, gameplay, cutscenes all look very sub-par. No exaggeration.

 

[Spyxos]

...aren't they all now?

honestly it's a good deal if you can dedicate the time to beating a game in 2-3 weeks

It didn't seem totally forgettable like all the other Ubisoft games .Yeah i will be using Ubisoft+. But i kinda expected more, after the last showing.

 

[John Marston]

...aren't they all now?

honestly it's a good deal if you can dedicate the time to beating a game in 2-3 weeks

Instead of forking over almost 200$ for the Ultimate Edition

 

[Ywap]

I hope there are some difficulty settings cause it looks way to easy. Would be boring in the long run....

 

[Arachnid]

The cover based shooting looks extremely bad.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Wtf is going on with that face.

 

[Duchess]

Eurogamer isn't impressed:

After a worryingly dated hands-on with Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft's galactic open world feels less exciting than expected

Eurogamer goes hands on with Star Wars Outlaws and comes away a bit less excited, and a bit more worried.

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Previews made it seem bland as fuck.

 

[Msamy]

4k 30 min. Broll footage from previews

 

[Pedro Motta]

Looks great, hope it's good!

 

[Valonquar]

I will totally dive in a year after release!

 

[Thief1987]

I don't know what I expected since it's Ubisoft, but yeah...
