Hanzala from eXputer: "Ubisoft takes away even the right to own Star Wars: Outlaws as if the ridiculous pricing and uglified characters weren't enough."
Discover the excitement of Star Wars Outlaws with leaked images showcasing Death Troopers. Explore the game's epic storyline, gameplay, and more.
Are we that starved for SW content that we will overlook the staples of Ubisoft practices and embellish with terms like "epic"?
At best, this is a 7/10. That is likely without platform and property bias. I do not think this will in any way be a transformative or definite star wars experience.
Star Wars Outlaws is introducing new characters to the Galaxy Far, Far Away, and hopefully Jaylen and ND-5 end up being more than their archetypes.
You have way too much riding on the side characters of a game that is several months away from even releasing.
It's UbiSoft. I'm sure they will "subvert sterotypes". I'm just hoping SBI convinces them to finally introduce the human/robot relationship angle along with interspecies love triangles, preferably with wookies.
You can clear your wanted levels in Star Wars Outlaws by defeating the death troopers.
I remember the same thing in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Ubisoft sure love to copy paste stuff in their games.
The mc looks so bland, she needs a cooler outfit and hair or maybe allow people to play as the awesome robot with the duster coat
Disney cannot ever make a main character without a pet following their ass, this formula needs to change.
Im all in with the author on the business practices side of things…. But the “uglification of the character”? Lol. Dude is a nut.
UBI is SOFT and so are all the executives in SF
Ubisoft are going to see this fail and it deserves to, esecially after the whole, gamers need to get used to not owning their games statement. Pricing and paywalls for single player is insane. The trend of making charaters androgynous is clear and has been going on for a while, tied to ESG social credit scores etc, pretend its not real thats fine but its how games are funded these days. You can say it doesnt matter, if that is true why spend time, effort and money changing the characters? Also why facial scan a beautiful actress and then change her, dont waste money paying her for a scan, japanese and korean devs seem to be fine making characters look just like the people they paid for their likeness.
Everyone calling the character model ugly to fit their social agenda would probably be posting videos/articles complaining about Alien and The Terminator if they were released today. "Woke Hollywood is butchering female characters - instead of getting supermodels we are forced to watch Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton!"
Nobody complained about the way the Kay Vess looked in the cgi trailer last year. Ubisoft didn't change the way the character model looked from then to now. What did happen is players got to see the difference between the cgi and actual gameplay graphics - which for any gamer with half a brain shouldn't be surprised that everything is downgraded when it comes to Ubisoft. Watchdogs, The Division, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry - what they use to sell you the game looks nothing like what you get when you buy it. Why are the people upset with the "uglification" of Kay Vess not also complaining about how bad Galen looks now?
When it comes to the character ask yourself, why is it male characters look almost identical to their actor but the female ones don’t
It’s a trend
Cal from the Jedi games looks identical to the actor, yet she doesn’t.
It’s not just this game it happens with most western games these days
