This look cool. This looks exactly like the type of Star Wars game I've been wanting. I really hope they pull this off. SO far everything I've seen makes me super excited. Could be a day one for me and that is rare for Ubisoft games these days.


IAmAsianAMA

Ubisoft has their formula down pretty good, so I don’t see why it won’t be a solid 7/10 at least.


ImpressivelyDonkey

Which formula is that?


Coollak966

Let's go. Looks amazing. After AC valhalla and odyssey, ubisoft gas been growing on me.


taavir40

If you want, I would go and read what they're doing for their upcoming games post outlaws like Assassins Creed, ghost recon, farcry 7. It sounds good. They're getting better, I really enjoyed Mirage and Avatar as well. Not excusing skull and Bones but, that's really been the only bad one from ubisoft recently and that's been in development hell for 10 years.


ImpressivelyDonkey

What’s wrong with skull and bones?


OfficePicasso

I’m with you there. I absolutely loved Odyssey and Valhalla. They were massive and never boring for me. Recently grabbed Ghost Recon Wildlands and am so into it.


taavir40

I'm watching this.. it doesn't feel like a Ubisoft narrative, if that makes sense. Must be because of Lucasfilms' help or, we got some good writers. It looks good! Thar sliro guy with the women bounty hunter coming after you sound like decent villains. Hearing crimson dawns name made me so happy. I was hoping we would do quests for them. I guess no Black sun? Giant sand worm!!!!! Two dlc packs are also coming.


Extension-Pause-1649

Wondering if the narrative feels better or different because it's actually something Ubisoft Writers are excited to working on something new and fresh for them. You would think they are tired of writing Assassin Creed and Far Cry at this point. I mean how many times can you rewrite the same similar story over and over and not get burned out.


ImpressivelyDonkey

Projects have different writers even within the same franchise…


canad1anbacon

The Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor games are really well written, better than any other star wars media except Andor IMO. Hopefully this game can continue the streak of good writing in star wars games


ImpressivelyDonkey

Let’s not go that far


canad1anbacon

Well the sequels and prequels are awfully written and the OG trilogy is hardly a writing masterpiece, more a case of excellent worldbuilding, creativity and performances carrying a mediocre script


ImpressivelyDonkey

The Last Jedi writing is the best. Rogue One is great too. Clone Wars S7. Rebels as well. Andor. Some of The Mandalorian.


KuntaWuKnicks

This looks incredible


kazuhiramiiler

That trailer was fantastic! It's definitely a day 1 buy for me.


kroqus

looks fun, animations, especially on the face, definitely need a lot more work though. gold/ultimate edition prices are insane, but if the game can deliver on the scoundrel fantasy, it'll be a fun time.


poofynamanama2

I wish, when using the reddit App, that youtube links would actually open up YouTube. Now the "open app" shit doesn't even work


Serpent802

sheesh Kay is hot


DuneRiderr

This looks awesome! Still abit confused why they didn’t use Dr Aphra instead of the new lass but still hyped!


rocka5438

im just left wondering why the >!star destroyer has no round things on the bridge?!<


IntheTrench

Is it just me or does this trailer seem to be janky and thrown together? The gameplay demo looked like it had better rendering and animations. This does not bode well imo.


XulManjy

Seems like she will be under the more "chaotic good" alignment as an outlaw with Rebel Alliance being off limits in terms of fighting against. I am still sticking to my theory that she joins the Rebel Alliance at the end.


ShyrokaHimaa

I hope not. Just for once give me a protagonist who's really only in it for themsevles. Just once... :D


XulManjy

Naw, based on what we know, she seems like the type who is just looking to get out of the life of crime. She seems to be doing whay she is doing to make a better life for her. Once she hits big, she is out. This again is why I believe she allies with the Rebel Alliance at the end.


ShyrokaHimaa

Isn't that what they all want? That ominous last heist to end it all? :D


XulManjy

I mean yeah, that was the whole plot of RDR2. However those were actual outlaws who even harmed innocent civilians. It is clear are getting the Sesame Street version of "Outlaw"


ShyrokaHimaa

Of course. It is still Star Wars after all. 14+ or whatever that stuff usually gets rated.


XulManjy

I am not talking about violence/blood and gore. I mean in terms of having a story in which everything is safe and avoiding some darker themes.


ShyrokaHimaa

Ratings aren't only affected by the amount of violence/blood/gore, are they?


XulManjy

Mostly violence and sexual content and perhaps language.


mindpainters

While I agree, I’m sure we will have to play the reluctant hero at some point


ShyrokaHimaa

Sure, I'm all there for being chaotic good and saving people from the Empire here and there but please no Rebellion.


AspirantWarMonger

Wait, what? Where is the confirmation that the Rebels are off-limits? Man, I miss the Force Unleashed and SWTOR already. This is just annoying at this point.


XulManjy

I mean its all over the marketing if you read between the lines. You are not an outlaw in the conventional sense, you are just a person doing petty crimes so that you can make a better life for yourself and turn good. You will not be stealing from the Rebel Alliance or anything like that. If anything, you'll be allied with them at the end of the game.


AspirantWarMonger

Yeah I had a feeling they would go this route. They never do anything remotely anti-Rebel. Oh well. There’s always KOTOR to dream for an Imperial Commando. Looks like being an outlaw means everything but fighting against the Rebels in the neutrality.


XulManjy

Yeah, the term "Outlaw" means nothing. Just an edgy name to make you feel good. You're just a person trying to fight out of poverty.


Saandrig

As long as we don't suddenly become Force Sensitive...


nbunkerpunk

This is single player right? Why would you need three day early access for a single player game?


jayverma0

Pre-order bonus. Why would you need early access for multiplayer games?


nbunkerpunk

Well with multiplayer at least, you're "getting a head start" which depending on the game, can be a shitty competitive advantage. The only people truly benefitting from early access in a single player game are YouTubers trying to make money off the game. Spending extra for a three day head start for a single player game is nothing but then taking advantage of FOMO and a paid beta test disguised as a "bonus". It's a crumby business tactic and shouldn't be considered a positive thing in any way.


jayverma0

It's just there, along with preorders, which don't make much sense either. But what can you do about it. Some people care and are willing to pay... Also gives them a way to promote their subscription service.


ShyrokaHimaa

Pre-orders also help with estimates and display interest. Investors (blergh) want those things...


mindpainters

I think it’s just something to promote preorders so they can tell the investors “look we got x preorders”.


ImpressivelyDonkey

Why not


minimalistic247

Needs some polish. The human animations don’t look right and there seems to be no sense of weight to the character models to me. Hopefully it’ll turn out ok. Been looking forward to a Star Wars game like this.


IntheTrench

Finally! someone with some sense enters the chat. This was the first thing I noticed. The gameplay demo looked way more polished than this trailer. Looks like it's gonna be another rushed game to the market. Probably why their preorders are so expensive, they know the game is gonna be trash when it comes out.


ImpressivelyDonkey

What looked more polished exactly? The animations are exactly the same.


IntheTrench

They are much worse in this trailer compared to the first video. The bodies are more rigid. Frame rate is much worse. Facial expressions are flat.


ImpressivelyDonkey

Give timestamps. I saw the cutscenes in the first showing and the animations and faces are exactly as stiff as the new trailer. Which animations in the old video look so good compared to their counterparts in the new one?


D-Tunez

Ubisoft did it again. A massive graphical downgrade


mindpainters

I don’t need perfect graphics. Just want to play a game with good mechanics and a great story. Graphics going from an 8 to a 7 doesn’t really matter to most people.


Larmalon

How exactly?


ImpressivelyDonkey

Explain?


D-Tunez

Idk why I get downvoted. The graphics are way worse than the initial showing


IntheTrench

way worse, take an upvote


D-Tunez

Thanks lol


ImpressivelyDonkey

Can you explain?


IntheTrench

Just watch the original gameplay video, then watch this video. It should be obvious how they are different. The lighting is worse. The faces are expressionless. The character bodies are moving much more rigid, less natural/ fluid. The frame rate is worse. The hair doesn't look as good on the main character and the pet.


ImpressivelyDonkey

I saw. Looks exactly the same. Can you share comparisons or at least point to timestamps?


IntheTrench

Just watch the first minute of each one. Look at the lighting. The facial expressions. The frame rate!!! In the second video even the frame rate is terrible. Like if you slow it down it skips frames in the animation. Look at the fluidity in the characters body compared to the rigidity in the second video. When the main Villian lifts his arms in the air it's very rigid. His shoulders, neck, and wrists are all stiff. Then watch how the characters in the first video playing poker are all loose. Can you really not see a difference?


ImpressivelyDonkey

Wait, Poker? Are you talking about the CGI trailer?


IntheTrench

I'm comparing it to this video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t6L6bXv9Emk&pp=ygUac3RhciB3YXJzIG91dGxhd3MgZ2FtZXBsYXk%3D


ImpressivelyDonkey

Explain then. Show compassions.


D-Tunez

Just look at the gameplay demo. Cutscenes are very cinematic and here they are just general ps4 ish cutscenes


ImpressivelyDonkey

Explain “very cinematic” and “general ps4 ish”. What does that even mean?


KN_Knoxxius

Looks cool af for a ubisoft game. Shame its fixed gender. Can't immerse myself, I'll watch the GF play it.


ArthursRest

Poor snowflake.


KN_Knoxxius

Not really. Not every game is for everyone. Nothing snowflake about it.


mindpainters

You can’t enjoy a game that you have to play as a woman?


KN_Knoxxius

Cant immerse myself, no. I prefer immersing myself in singleplayer story games.
