Hailed as Star Wars first open world game by Ubisoft.

I heard about it as they're advertising the price from £94.99 (GBP) but apparently that's the Gold version and Standard is going to be £70. How do you make £70 seem cheap? Advertise the premium price I suppose :D

Other than that, anyone know much about it? It is going to be another ground shooter focused game with a bit of space like Starfield turned out to be or might there be a little more of the deep black with this one?

It will probably be just another Ubisoft flop with all the infuriating discissions they always make. Remember they gave us Skull & Bones, and tried to call it "AAAA" quality.

Aye, publisher interference is always a concern... I've read a little on line and seems it's set between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi so has potential but if it's filled with loot-box nonsense it's skip the £70 and go back to waiting for SC to be finished :-D

It looks okay'ish, but I'm in no rush to get it. It will be one of those games I pick up during a steam sale a few years from now... then probably won't play, lol.

And of course, there's already some kind of controversy about it. I hear they made the female main character ugly on purpose again.

Damn that male gaze! /s

I don't even care about the controversy stuff, I just want a good game story that's fun to play. I'll wait on this one, just to see how it pans out, but I don't hold much hope.

been looking forward to this since before starfield released. Yes, I have pre-ordered it. It's the first Star Wars game in a LONG time that I have felt might be worth it.

Fingers are crossed, the Rim Worlds sounds like it's going to be more exciting than Coruscant would be.

Older video showing WIP gameplay and such

View: https://youtu.be/c7K2TA0bBpY?si=Xzj-GEXDoIjNipIu


If it plays like their Avatar game that released last year it should be fine, but given its Ubisoft and not on Steam so many people are already saying "nOt On MY Pc!?!?!"

Not looking shabby at all but yeah the whole U B I soft thing and their recent comments about not owning software you pay for and seeing some of their older licences being revoked and no longer playable through the launcher (if I've interpreted that correctly) has me spooked and less willing to throw down a chunky £70 on it.

I'm aware I don't "own" my MP3's I've just paid for licence to perpetually use them (you can't really "own" something which is infinitely perfectly and effortlessly recreateable like a digital file) but at least I have local files to my device which can't be locked-down or placed behind a licence-access gate like a launcher.

They say actions are louder than words so I look forward to seeing a AAAA's worth of innovation with this one that'll put its name up there with the Genre Defining games we all know:

Elite.
Sim City.
Grand Theft Auto.
Minecraft.
Star Citizen.
...Star Wars Outlaws?

Perhaps, perhaps.

I'm going to take the wait and see approach. This might just be another Far-Cry re-skin. Go to the place, kill the guys, climb the tower, clear the map, and so on and so on and sooo on

Good points, if a title is too expensive I usually do wait for it hitting Platinum series status or whatever the modern day equivalent of that is. Still waiting for Armoured Core 6 but it's only a year old and by all accounts is actually decent. Playing the long game on that one.
