The World Premiere of the Star Wars Outlaws Story Trailer.
Star Wars Outlaws needs to do everything in its power to avoid a common economic pitfall in games that focus on acquiring massive wealth.
I'll watch the game being streamed and base a decision off of that. I myself I am not a big Star Wars fan.
Star Wars Outlaws will have the highest marketing budget for a Ubisoft game of all-time, company expects a strong launch.
I think it’s just to install though 🤷♂️
I mean, you have to have a network connection to be on here 🤔. I don’t see what the big deal is.
It's a big deal because maybe someone does t have internet all the time. It's a big deal cause some live in areas where internet is constantly having problems, it's a big deal because it shouldn't be a thing. Needing an internet connection is a dick move, and with that there's no reason the full game couldn't be on disc from the jump.

It’s literally JUST to install the game. If your internet cuts out every 5 minutes then you have some bigger issues that need to be addressed. It is not a “dick” move to require internet in this day and age, you need it for basically 95% of all media entertainment and we’re not in the 90s anymore where we’re stuck with dial-up. So, I’m sorry but the excuse of “people don’t have internet all the time” is quite possibly the dumbest thing at this point in time.
You’re telling me they have access to a $500 device, $70 games, but 0 internet or the worst internet in the world and no means to fix that? And if they are in a third-world country where internet is only available at cafes I really want to know how PS5’s or Xbox’s are acquired… because that isn’t making a ton of sense to me, either. I also want to know the % of that group that make up the total of game sales in comparison to countries with great internet.
How many of those people play on PC? Because here’s a news flash, bud, Steam requires an internet connection to install… so, welcome to 2024, pal.
Oh, and here’s some other food for thought, what are the games that make the most money out of all games currently on the market? I believe Fortnite requires an internet connection and it seems to be doing JUST fine… oh, and what about all the mobile games that make billions and outdo hardcore console/PC titles in terms of revenue? I’m pretty sure all of this requires some form of network connectivity because, well, how else do you make a micro-transaction?

So if the game gets delisted and is no longer purchasable or playable, you're fine with that?
I get where you're coming from, and agree that if it's just to install the game, you kinda NEED internet to install any game on PC, but for consoles you don't and shouldn't. Lemme explain.
I spent a vacation in the Rocky Mountains in TN, and the internet services AND cell reception there were both HORRIBLE. I couldn't even upload a video, it just kept failing, and downloading basic videos took sometimes a whole day. We take it for granted, but there are still swathes of the US that don't have reliable and consistent access to the internet. It's why infrastructure bills keep getting introduced.
NO ONE should not have access to the internet, it's sorta a basic need at this point, but there are a lot of people who don't reliably have it. Sounds crazy in 2024 to type that, but that's where we're at.
The same exact online requirement that Hogwarts Legacy had, but no one here cared about that last year...
It’s crazy, man. It’s almost like someone saying, “an update patch requires internet to download/install!? No BUUuuuUuuYYY!!!!”
And the response is always the f*cking same, it’s always, “but what about people who don’t have internet or bad internet?” How many of you all are using PS+ or GamePass? All that requires a network connection to download your complimentary free monthly games… do you all refuse to download those because they’re digital!?
As for the “delisted” response, look at Steam that’s been around for ages and look at games you can still go back to. Physical doesn’t last forever, you can boomerang the same thing and say, “what if there’s no physical copies left to acquire or the version you have no longer runs?” Maybe as long as Ubisoft exists you’ll be able to install patches for the game. You still can for Xbox 360 games… and I mean what if there’s a “game breaking bug” that requires a patch? What will you do then? Just play the game until you trigger the bug because all yoi have is the physical version and no access to the internet?
The crazy hypocrisy behind it is they’ll emulate the game, which is all digital and requires access to the internet…
Like, I get when we were new with games and internet. I honestly don’t think the majority of gamers even care about physical. We already see digital sales trumping physical.
Also, for the record on delisting, yes it sucks and I think every company is required to announce a delisting a month in advance and to make sure media outlets announce it so people can get a game before that happens. But for physical it happens just the same with no longer having print runs and people on eBay selling a game for $1000. It might as well be the exact same as a digital delisting at that point.
Again, this is for an install ONLY. You might as well flip out over every Day 1 Patch requiring an online connection 🙄 for a physical game and refuse buying them then because it makes NO sense that you’re ok with an online update but not an online install. I just can’t imagine refusing to play a game just because it requires an online connectivity for an install in this day and age.
The argument gets even richer when you learn just how many of these blowhards love Baldur's Gate 3, and bought it day one.
I think it’ll have a strong launch. Usually it’s the average gamer that will drive the majority of sales. I won’t be getting at launch but likely after it’s been out for a while. Better price and updates.
Not buying
There will be forced same sex scenes I guess
It’s just not representative of the real world and tired of having that stuff forced upon me
Also Disney Buying Pixar, Fox, Lucasfilm and Marvel, is just too much
Forced same sex scenes? Are you sure the sex scene can't be skipped? The Witcher 3 sex scenes were optional and could be skipped.
Like their assasssins creed games
And now disneys involved too, it’s almost certain haha
Why don you call it “forced same sex scene”? It is that horrendous to view a same sex scene? What is the big deal? Are you a puritan? We watch people get killed and even partake because its entertainment and nothing more, but viewing two people go at it, in whose activity we have no interest is somehow too much? I would try to reevaluate your perceptions to figure out where your beliefs come from so that you can adjust any unreasonable belief systems that may not be necessary/logical. You may ask “why should I have to change” and to that I will respond: because your belief system is clearly affecting your decisions, you are forgoing a game that you may enjoy otherwise, because of a potentially irrational belief system.
nah I don't mind the odd rainbow flag, but please don't put anything more in my games unless it really makes sense to do so, here I feel there trying to either be a] shocking or b] fit in with the recent push to normalise this stuff, its a minority, always has been, always will be, don't push it as if THE norm, when its not,. this is my view,. not a view actually, thats fact.
i've had enough of this pushed in my face, and now in my games. give it as an option yes, but I reckon their going to do it different, this is Disney, and the Disney now, is not the Disney we grew up with watching Bambi and alladin,.
'It is that horrendous to view a same sex scene''
no its not, I may even partake in them, as- you dont know me...?
my point still stands, its the minority, don't make it seem like its the norm, Disney pushes this stuff way too much,
''You may ask “why should I have to change”
get over yourself, I dont need to change, again you dont know me,
in regard to commenting on forums, I comment on games, with an opinion, everyone is entitled to one,
you are commenting on someones character. Id suggest being careful in future mate, thats a dangerous game.
@purple101
Sounds like you need a safe space.
Also, kudos for demanding real world realism in your Star Wars video game. That is something I never thought I'd hear someone say.
Ubisoft reassures fans that Star Wars Outlaws will not be delayed despite negative feedback on YouTube. Discover the details and future plans for the game.
Well you see, Skull & Bones is a AAAA game. I think Star Wars Outlaws is just AAA, so it's not held to the same standard and quality.
/S
I'm sure it 'exceeded all the expectations'. Or at least that's what Ubi likes to say when the game isn't doing very well.
Last I heard it actually had a decent number of players and sales but if it's enough to make back the money it's torturous development cost-that's another thing
Yes its horrible and ruining the world right now. Really hope it takes a more positive turn for something better soon.

Call it what you will, but it's other name was" the wisdom of the crowd" and it most def exists.
To use the word "culture" indicates that it is anything other than rich people getting themselves in trouble.
This is what wealth gaps do: they open up regular things to scrutiny from the public. Poor people can't get "cancelled" but they can get in trouble. The only difference between poor people and rich people is how regular it is for poor people. It's not a culture for us but the rich want it to be - otherwise them getting into trouble would just be unnatural (!)
Everybody. All the low life losers have a voice from the depth of there gaming dungeon celler. Its those people that are the worst.
The last thing I'd call what is happening in gaming is cancel culture. It's more a collective of raining down hate and vitriol on anything that doesn't fit these clowns tastes and opinions. It's like a vocal subsection of gamers online think that every game should be tailored to them.
I just find it funny all this manpower, time, resources, money for this game and despite being an open world Star Wars game we've wanted since we were kids there's not much hype for it.
"The main issues raised by viewers included:
Low and Variable Frame Rates: The preview displayed noticeable performance issues.
Poor Visual Effects: Many felt that the graphics and effects didn’t meet expectations.
Non-Reactive AI: The behavior of non-playable characters seemed unpolished and unrealistic.
Overall Roughness: The game appeared less polished than anticipated for a title close to release." Don't think its a hype thing more of a performance thing, but you are right.
Unattractive 💪 female lead complaints mixed with nitpicks about the explosions being bad or poor facial animations. Game looks fine to me. I'm looking forward to it.
That PS2 GTA San Andreas explosion is not a nitpick, neither is using explosives to kill an enemy and the other enemies super close by going "Who's there".
Why are we all suddenly arselicking Ubisoft now
600 developers from eleven Ubisoft studios have worked on this game...it's not a good look.
@Foxtrot
So, let me get this straight, an explosion and enemies reacting to an explosion in a way that’s no different than knocking on a wall in, what I consider an amazing game, with a line of, “Huh, what was that noise?” Makes this bad?
…like at this point it’s coming off like people are itching to hate this game and as soon as they spot a blemish they run with it being a trash game. Give me a break here, this game looks better than most stuff released now, uh, sans an explosion effect and some AI not reacting to an explosion.
Come on man it's not the simple shit we see in other games, the explosion in the videos are RIGHT NEXT TO THEM, most other games now have reactive AI where they'd be on at least alert, scouting the area and trying to find you or in this case would have at least targeted you since its so obvious.. This game didn't even do that, we never got to that stage because the AI here is clearly terrible.
Like I said, there's so much manpower and studios being spent on a game like this, it should be better. Even Ubisofts Assassins Creed games do the majority of the things better than what was seen in this video.
"this game looks better than most stuff released now"
Lmao...sure it does
If you want to lick Ubisofts arsehole go ahead but don't bitch when other people don't want to follow the same bullshit.
I thought the recent gameplay trailer looked good. But everyone has their own opinions. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what the final product will bring. That will be the true test.
there's a list at the top of the article.
But also I don't put too much weight into what people are saying except from the couple of reporters/reviewers that I actively follow. We'll see in august. That's more than a month to get a day one patch made that could address some of the listed complaints, at least FPS to a degree i imagine.
It looks okay... I'm just not feeling it like I did with Jedi: Fallen Order.
Terrible trailer and this game looks like a reskin of AC - UBI is SOFT !
I really don't understand the point of putting up preorders when you haven't shown any gameplay yet
It seem reminiscent of Solo story wise.
If theres one thing Ubisoft knows, its to make astounding trailers. I am intrigued but will not preorder.
