One thing that I ended up cutting from the video for time but still wanted to share here was that the game was running in 1920x1080 for the demo, but is actually designed with 21:9 monitors in mind. Additionally, there are Raytracing settings in the graphics menu that were disabled for the demo. My guess is that they didn't have enough high end systems to run RT on for everyone who got to play.
I dont know if I am the only one that feels this way, but man I do miss the Star wars galaxy style, that was a truly open world game, a pity it was closed and despite the efforts from the fans has such a little player base by nowadays standards....
@@CodenamePrince Yeah, there's a closet in the ship for swapping visuals, weapons can be customized and visually altered, looks like we will also have other vehicles. As for melee weapons, I didn't see any in my playthrough.
Re: Not being a Jedi. That's actually a draw to me... The whole 'every protagonist has to be force sensitive' actually makes the Star Wars universe feel smaller.
like everytime they make a game focused on a force user @CodenamePrince not having to be a space magician with a lighty lighty laser sword is a breath of fresh air rolling the 27th! can't wait
I'm kind of the opposite. If you can't go 15 seconds without running into "content", the world feels too much like a game and not a real place. It's perfectly fine to have areas that are big and empty here and there.
@@MetalGamer666 actually adding some wastelands in between decent busy open smaller worlds would be perfect and realistic... but Gamers will cry no matter what they going to get and making the entire thing open and Stitched together like a No Man's Sky Ellie dangerous or Star Citizen would be still a huge amount of extra work which Gamers "again" never appreciate... we're going to be always stuck with compromised decisions developers and Publishers will do
@@MetalGamer666this tends to make games needlessly padded. Like rockstar games. Travel to point A to start the mission, just to travel to point B so the characters have enough time to spout their exposition.
This is a problem with space games and the casual modern audience. When it comes to space games, you can do a lot of cool things. But you simply just can't do every cool thing. Every one of these games has concessions. The only game that's trying to do at all is star citizen. And there's a reason why that game has been in development for over a decade, with 700 million dollars poured into it.
And that's not even true anymore either. Squadron has made many similar concessions, and for reasons I can only speculate, those same concessions are being drawn into Star Citizen
@@KiithnarasAshaa What concessions has Squadron 42 made? If anything it expanded far beyond it's original concept when the community voted to expand both games.
@@thePrisoner1000 Largely concessions away from realism and fidelity in order to seek broader appeal and approachability, with a simplified flight model (e.g. Master Modes). You're correct that they expanded on the initial stretch goals, but since about 2018-2020, that vision has instead been shrinking, quietly behind the scenes in the case of Squadron, and piecemeal in the case of SC. It's only with 3.23 that we see the first really big domino, the push to "unify" the games and game mechanics. Salvage is another decent example, with tech demos and concept renders showing cutting and crushing, but concessions were made for expedience resulting in the Slurping instead of Munching or Cutting. They said it would have been prohibitive with all of those entities, but to me it felt more like they didn't want to justify the development effort to rework all of the ships into dynamic semivoxels like how Shipbreaker does its salvage gameplay.
@@KiithnarasAshaa In terms of the claw, they said they didn't have the tech for it atm. Of for example using beams instead of using physical tools. They want to do those things but either can't atm or don't want to put the time into those right now. With software development you can plan 3 or 5 years or whatever before on what you want to do but some times those plans need to be changed for the moment because the complexity of adding those items into the project. In terms of master mode, it just follows the philosophy that CR has always said, he wanted more of WWII dogfight style of game play and he never said SC or SQ42 was going to be a flight sim, but l life in 'Verse sim. IF anything they have expanded the vision with things like crafting, , possibly building you own ships and such.
Exactly I don't know where this "Oh Explore a HUGE SW Galaxy with No storyline, this was ALWAYS going to be a Star Wars Jedi Survivor or Uncharted style game, it was never presented as anything else. You Play a Named Character and your going thru HER PLOTLINE.
It's GTA more than anything, and Star Wars GTA is a game I've literally wanted since... GTA 3 lmao. Massive Entertainment made the game, and they didn't make the far cry games, so it shouldn't be too similar. Ubi Montreal made FC as far as I'm aware. Massive work woth IO interactive, so there's some hope
I'm sick of over bloated map sizes just for the sake of it. I'd rather have a smaller curated experience rather than a large empty one. I'm glad this is the direction they're going with this. I look forward to buying it 2 years from now with all the addons for $50 lol.
The thing is, Ubisoft has shown that they can make very large and very itneresting looking maps but have a hard time having things to do in them. I still argue that Ghost Recon Wildlands has one of the best ever crafted open-world maps in any game in the history of gaming. The variety and versatility of the biomes and topography is breathtaking. But Ubisoft did F-all with that map size, rinsing and repeating the exact same tasks over and over again across a very detailed and very lovingly crafted world. So it's not just about bloated map sizes with repeating textures, or large map sizes with cool and interesting locations, it's also about things to do in those maps. Some games have small maps and still have F-all to do in them. I'm still not convinced that Outlaws has enough to do to warrant even the smaller maps that it houses.
@@Billy-bc8pk - no reason to argue that, but Wildlands was... good, very good :) Still love that game. Ghost Recon - different story (especially at the beginning whrn the game was out). A lot to do, but almost every building inside was the same (and more). Sort of like AC Valhalla and AC previous games, a large maps, but a lot of repetivive tasks. Way too much, way the same. I'm hoping for this game to be slightly different.
I feel like the expectation from the studio/developer were pretty clear. It is an open world, but its not a No Man's Sky/Starfield. It looks more like a Fallout or Skyrim with a smaller playable area, but packed with things to do
Yeah, my expectations of "open world" immediately made me think of and compare to Fallen Order when it comes to Star Wars, I never expected more than that.
@@AlbertoMartinez765 I think morph is conflating the public perception of what SW outlaws was going to be (which was a bit over hyped and definitely had some unrealistic expectations) and what UBI and the official mediums claim what SW outlaws was actually going to be. UBI was pretty clear about its action-adventure-openworld nature of the game and (mostly) haven't oversold or overextended. They're delivering a starwars game with the far cry/assassins creed formula. Not everyone loves that, but its something they deliver on fairly well. Players- on the other hand, don't like to listen. The hypetrain is usually a bad thing, misinformation and rumors spread like wildfires, and peoples imagination is always more inventive and fantastical than reality is. So personally, I did see a lot of people over-hyper SWO and attributing things to it that we're never confirmed, or were otherwise just conjecture. Again, it happens every time. People just get ahead of themselves: "This is going to be the next big thing! its the [insert favorite game] of Starwars games! I cant wait to do [thing that was never said would be included] and interact with [character that was never shown to be in the game]!" I'd say "damn why haven't gamers learned this lesson yet, over-hyping games is bad, we learned this countless times over the last decade" but I'm fairly certain that a lot of this attitude comes from the younger generations and casual audiences who are just starting their ""journey"" and weren't around (or weren't paying attention) when this sort of thing happened last. Unfortunately it seems overhype/unrealistic expectations and the rift that creates between reality and the actual game is a natural phenomena and a feature of the modern gaming landscape. Even Star Citizen suffers from this phenomena.
@@GomulDart No it's not gamers' fault for filling in the gaps that Ubisoft purposely did not outline. Morph explained the extent of the map sizes, not Ubisoft. Why didn't Ubisoft announce that first when revealing the game? Why did a UA-cam have to put expectations into perspective by outlining exactly how big the maps are? That's Ubisoft's job, not gamers. People only get "overhyped" for things based on what is and/or is not outlined by the publisher. And here Ubisoft -- much like Bethesda -- basically let the over-hype get to a point based on details of omission. Some studios set expectations properly, like the studio that made Kingdom Come Deliverance -- they outlined exactly how big the game was going to be, what the combat would be like, etc. Gamers went in with proper expectations and were pleasantly surprised; no overhype needed.
@@Billy-bc8pk what... do you want the sq km area of the maps before you get hyped? Is the area of maps really a big deal to you? From what we see in the video their fairly dense and detailed, some more than others. But we've also only seen 2 maps of presumably at least a couple more? If they're all detailed like the ones we see I dont get the issue. They aren't fully simulated planets but this game was never billed as a sim game, again its been billed as an openworld action adventure game.
I feel like everyone forgets that Star Wars 1313 was a thing people wanted. Or that we've had Star Wars games where you're not strictly a jedi with a lightsaber the whole game. Hell, some are still holding out hope we'll get a republic commando sequel.
No, no one forgets that. In fact, there are dozens of comments on about every Outlaws video I've watched with people talking about how they would have preferred 1313, and with good reason. As Morph said, Kay is literally just a skin-swap of Han Solo to fit Disney's "force is female" narrative, but there is no reason we couldn't have just had a proper Han Solo game, which would have been way more popular and much more appreciated from the fans. Or... they could have just given us 1313 as it was intended.
I don't think anyone forgot that. I think people understand that we could have gotten many far better executed and more ambitious games with this premise. But instead we got...this. we could have gotten to create our own scoundrel or that has a far better technical foundation and wasn't an extremely derivitave version of this game, with the most predictable main character, and contrived/hollow narrative. Ubisoft threw away yet another chance do anything other than the same tired formula they've done countless times that is the very reason that their company is doing terribly.
This brings up a pretty good point I think that how big a game area feels isn't directly proportional to the actual geometric size of the playspace. A 9km^2 area filled with interesting stuff probably feels quite a bit bigger even than a Star Citizen planet. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one.
She's holding it like a street thug shooting up a gas station lmao. Not even that it looks so weird with the bent elbow and as if the gun points upwards from the target
Sorry, but I never thought this was going to be ANYTHING like Star Citizen or Elite Dangerous. Massive said from the beginning they were making a story driven hand crafted action adventure open world game. Sounds like that's what we're getting.
I'm actually really relieved to hear they didn't go really big with the world. My main gripe for Starfield was the scale and it's my main fear for SC also. A big world is great, but only so far as the developers have the resources to fill that space enough so that the worlds feel believable, lived-in and unique.
Well as CIG likes to point out, the whole point of putting RaStar in the hands of gamers is so that we the audience fill out the planets, not CIG. There are some theme-park style areas and locations in Star Citizen for exploration/questing/event purposes, but CIG has made it known that majority of the empty spaces on planets will be for players to fill out, not them.
@@Billy-bc8pk Ah cool, I was unaware of RaStar and their intention there. I'd still personally prefer 50 systems over the 100(?) they plan for just to have more unique stuff to discover in those systems. But like you say, the style of game is important for this. With SC being an MMO it makes sense to have large empty spaces for the players to fill out themselves vs a singleplayer rpg where you can't build anything.
Combining an RPG with unlimited procedural worlds is a fascinating, possibly cursed, problem of game design. I’m also fascinated when companies that are no doubt much smarter than me seem to keep making the same cursed decisions.
@@Billy-bc8pk My concern with SC is for every epic emergent story of high adventure by the roguish hero, there is an implicit mirror story where some annoying troll sneaks in, stabs your friends and nicks your stuff. 🙂
@@peterd9698 Lmao yea, I think it started when open world games were a new idea and everyone was amazed by how large the worlds were. I think the publishers (and to a lesser extent the devs) still think this is going to be the best way to sell their game. The sad thing is they're right to some extent, people still get blind hype for world size.
Looks good? It looks like a hot steaming pile of dogsh*t. Combat looks very bland and boring both on the ground and in space. This looks like 'The last of us' in a 'Star Wars' jacket but without any redeeming qualities.. except maybe some decent landscaping but in todays world 'decent' graphics are not something revolutionary
I am a casual gamer, and I think I would like this game. I can't attend hours exploring something, so I smaller world is perfect. As long as the story is alright I am good.
this preview has actually given me hope for the game. was a fan of the jedi series with Cal cestus and crew. The dense detailed map appeals far more to me now a days, than it did only a few years ago. Starting to look forward to this game
I think it is worth metioning that Massive entertainment lead the development of this game, they are a Ubisoft studio but not as managed by Ubisoft as you might think.
10 out of 10 times I would rather have a smaller more detailed open world than another Starfield. From what I have seen of Outlaws so far, I'm definitely not getting it day one but I think after giving it a couple weeks to see how it launches, it looks like a good enough game to get.
I'm genuinely happy this is the case. I prefer a smaller but handcrafted and purposeful open world to an empty and soulless larger one.There's also many planets, and I would always pick multiple smaller open areas rather than one single giant open area on a single planet for a Star Wars game. This also leaves the door open for new planets as DLC and thus more variety. Not pre-ordering before the last minute but the more things I hear from those who tested it and the more I'm confident it will be a blast. I absolutely loved played AC Odyssey and I feel that it's going to be similar in many ways. As a Star Wars fan I'm gonna grind the fuck out of this game.
Give us the NPC interaction from Watch Dogs Legion, the fighting mechanics of the Division, and the adventure/exploration of an AC game, and how can they miss? Oh yeah, Ubisoft!!
I'm down!!! , never thought it was going to be crazy in depth open world sandbox. I expected it to be a typical ubisoft open world game which can be fun.
Refresh Page, posted 29 seconds ago. excellent Actually looks better than I thought, I'm glad they've reduced world size scope coming from Valhalla and the like. Well you've given me more hope now. Kay and Nyx seem fun as well! How was the into-city transition on performance/pop-in? I'm thinking Dragons Dogma 2. Have they finally ditched the signature exploration tower zones feature or at least change/reduced it somehow? The random encounters or conversations seem cool, how obvious or out of the way are they? Were the events out of the city more tied to the outposts we saw or are there any on the roads between?
4 hours sadly didn't give me enough time to be able to answer all your questions very thoroughly, but I'll try my best. They hid the LOD transitions really well. I didn't precieve and pop in speeding along the surface to destinations, certainly no performance drops. I don't know what spec machine they were running, but they were running at 1920x1080. Map exploration seems to work like RTS games, where what you've visited becomes lighter on the map - which is 3D by the way. Very cool UI experience, that goes for space as well. Crossing into new territory though will let you know the name of the section and the owning faction. Random encounters seem to be able to happen anywhere, and you'll be called over to locations from afar via radio call. There are some things though that you just need to stumble on, like a stash house, or an unmarked bandit base.
@@Morphologis Yeah 4 hours isn't a lot of time but that was actually more info then I was expecting! Super happy they've gone with the normal Fog of War exploration rather than the rush to the tower and see everything approach; kind of pulls you out of the world after a few Ubisoft titles. The exploration diversity also seems great as well, was kind of worried that towns would be mini hubs of things to do and the roads in between are just empty. Seems like they are doing a slight pivot from how they've approached the last few assassins creeds which I'm happy for, density versus expansiveness. Thanks for the detailed response and great video!
@@Spartan1Vit is worth noting that this was developed by massive and only published by Ubisoft, so that could account for some differences in design philosophy.
@@Ocelot3765very true! I think they did avatar as well and I think that went better than expected. You never know how much a publisher wants to influence development but it looks like they've been able to diverge from the Ubisoft formula a bit so good luck to 'em.
I think this sounds nice. I love space games and I've spent a lot of time playing NMS recently. I've had a great time, but even though the world is big and complex the world is not that appealing to me. I never feel like I'm a part of it around me. I have the same thing in star citizen, I feel more like a visitor than a part of the world and I think the cause for this feeling is that you can't have any lasting impact on it.
What impact are you going to have on this world though? Most Ubisoft games have never had anything like player decisions when it came to the story so what lasting impact can the player have besides maybe clearing Outposts from criminals which then wont show up there anymore.
The disabling of certain parts in spaceships was in Star Wars Galaxies and it's a nice detail. You may need to loot something from a certain ship, an item, a message in a datapad, to arrest someone for a bounty, you don't want to destroy the ship. About distance : In the same game, Star Wars Galaxies, we've had to run along on foot on every planet, until we got animal mounts and later on, speeders. In Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis, a military simulator, the maps were around 100 square km's, but only if you made missions on the map editor or multiplayer. In the single player campaign, the game would warn you if you were getting out of the mission parameters. So, as a biker, the riding distance looks ok to me, without getting bored.
From what I've seen so far, your gameplay and the newest Ubisoft gameplay that they dropped a few hours ago, this looks like it might be a best Star Wars game out there, and it will not have a Jedi. I don't really see a lot of things that could make this game bad, unless I start nitpicking.
Everyone’s hating on this, and their only criticism is that one video from ign looked bad, and the protagonist is ugly. I don’t care about either, so I’m definitely buying this.
Do we know what type of vehicles there are is there a large variety or is it just one hover bike and one ship. Can you eventually upgrade these with new things or can we use some type of currency system to purchase new ships/ vehicles?
I'm excited either way, I like starwars and usually unisoft makes good games. Not great not perfect but just GOOD games. I'm excited to see that they do
Very skeptical still since ive been an ahole towards anything ubisoft calling them purveyors of casual arts exclusively, but im open to giving this a shot now if it does have this potential, especially after few patches are rolled out and content gets refined. We need much better space games. :)
2:07 some weird texture effects as the hover bike makes the grass disappear into the ground while the bike is above the area and moving. Game looks fun, but looks brief. Dont see much replay with such a small area to enjoy. Seems like a linear gameplay not like SF where you can pretty much do whatever you want and not really touch the main story line. You did mention that you can bump into NPCs and get side quests similar to GTAV, CP2077, and SF though.
So glad they went with smaller detailed maps, makes exploring so much better. Was there any kind of loot system with teirs? Like what are the shops & creds for?
So I will just say, personally I didn't have the expectation for this to be like "no mans sky" or anything like that. The trailers seemed pretty clear to me and many others that this was more of a standard ubi open world rather than a sprawling space game
Question: If all the personal land vehicles (smaller than a Jawa crawler, anyway) are hovering craft, why are there dirt roads? Those are cut out of the vegetation like animal runs by hooves and tires, and then possibly remetalled or surfaced by local councils or similar when the amount of traffic geta high enough. If there are no pack beasts or wheeled vehicles, whence comest the paths?
The hover vehicles still exert force on the ground, you'll see it when flying over water or grass when it's pushed aside. I'm guessing it would disturb vegitation with a lot of traffic eventually. Just a bit of theory crafting XD.
Love your perspective on this game! I’m eager to play it and think I’ll pick it up for sure. Love the idea of the more handcrafted areas rather than larger open generated stuff 🙂 I’m always cautious when Ubisoft gets my hopes up but I think this one will work out for the better 🎮 This one seems like my type of game so far!
Seems like a better version of open world Ubisoft. No towers needed to be climbed to unlock the map? Good! But strictly third person is off-putting to me...
The game world is exactly what I expected it to be. I'm used to how they promote these things, and unless I see them promote a massive open-world, I assume it's a fairly small set, with a large amount of background scenery.
Did the speeder bike feel like a motorcycle or like a car? I know cyberpunk had this issue , and even though it’s all sci-fi tech, I just hope the vehicle dynamics feel good, especially if we have to use it a lot.
I'm really glad the maps aren't going to be overly big. The problem with a lot of open world games is that the maps begin to feel like a wasteland with little sprouts of content here and there.
I'm going to wait until it's been out for a couple of months before deciding to get it or not. While a 4-hour play through from a reputable source is compelling, most Star Wars games are just okay and I haven't loved a Star Wars game since SWG.
To be fair- just getting to walk around in Star Wars is pretty cool. Younger me is excited about that part. I do think this game would have been much more hype with some very simple design choices from the start- perhaps a custom character creator, and some background choices for role playing purposes and stats/perks. Even if we were still limited to JUST being a smuggler archetype for the sake of keeping the story the same. I think the modding potential on PC could be a cool thing as well.
The world looks much better than what we've previously had, but some things seem unnecessarily slow, and the stealth seems reliant on the face hugging droid. But I'll have to wait and see.
I wish the AI in SC was just a bit like this then walking trough city's/towns... And i hope it will become more like this when the Tech is finally added.
Obviously impossible to comment on gameplay and fun factor on an unreleased game i havent experienced....but from the clips ive seen and the brief feedback from the handful who have played Starwars Outlaws....im really looking forward to playing this game and i think (hope) it will be a ton of fun too x Apart from love, care and a nod to the source material, I had no expectations for this game x
I'm stoked to hear that the game is fun! I don't really care if it isn't a seamless vast open universe ... that is what Star Citizen is for. I want a fun game that is engaging to play. I was so dissapointed with Starfield and I am hoping that this game is better. Thanks for the review.
I made a post about this but I'm not sure if it's going to get enough traction, I might need to make a short video. There was no form of payment or contract for payment for this or any other video on this channel for Star Wars Outlaws. Check out my latest post here: www.youtube.com/@Morphologis/community
@@Morphologis I see, my apologies I didn't see this post and it's great that you addressed this, though this wasn't what I was implying, it was more paid in terms of things like paying for flights, accommodation, food etc. since it's come to light that a lot of influencers/UA-camers were given those things along with free VIP tickets to Disney world and a bunch of other things. I do that as a comment your post and i missed that you've already addressed that you were invited via a remote session.
Was starting to feel pretty positive about it from what I’ve seen. Then I realise the ship is like you say like an arcade thing. I would LOVE if you could jump out of your seat to go fix the shields or put out a fire. Like the mini lock pick games or something. Sadly it feels like this will never happen in any space game and I’m not sure why
Ir sounds to me like the difference between say Monster Hunter vs Elder Scrolls. A locale in MH is consideribly smaller than any region in Tamriel. But big as though it may be, Tamriel is an empty and static place, whereas the Ancient Forest is teeming with life.
It seems to me that all new SW Films were made for people who never watched SW before, and this new SW game is for people who never played a game before.
From what I have seen, the cinematics for cut scenes seems not great and rather jarring transitions. Was that your experience, or were those unfinished?
I am worried about the customisation, I hope I can mod her gun or something and spec into different play styles and skills because otherwise the gameplay will get stale really quickly.
I'll wait a bit until the game had its day-1 patches and some reviews. After that I might buy / test it - even if it is not in a sale. I think the game looks and feels that good from a watchers perspective.
i rather play in a handcrafted defined world which is ästhtic vivid and alive with authtentic characters then strawling arround an endless "Odyssey". Hope they don´t fuck it up this time. But Ubisoft, so I have no expectations.

@@williamburbidge2407 definitely not gta
@@andrew8168 good that it might actually be a decent game.
I'm sick of over bloated map sizes just for the sake of it. I'd rather have a smaller curated experience rather than a large empty one. I'm glad this is the direction they're going with this. I look forward to buying it 2 years from now with all the addons for $50 lol.
The thing is, Ubisoft has shown that they can make very large and very itneresting looking maps but have a hard time having things to do in them. I still argue that Ghost Recon Wildlands has one of the best ever crafted open-world maps in any game in the history of gaming. The variety and versatility of the biomes and topography is breathtaking. But Ubisoft did F-all with that map size, rinsing and repeating the exact same tasks over and over again across a very detailed and very lovingly crafted world. So it's not just about bloated map sizes with repeating textures, or large map sizes with cool and interesting locations, it's also about things to do in those maps. Some games have small maps and still have F-all to do in them. I'm still not convinced that Outlaws has enough to do to warrant even the smaller maps that it houses.
@@Billy-bc8pk - no reason to argue that, but Wildlands was... good, very good :) Still love that game.
Ghost Recon - different story (especially at the beginning whrn the game was out). A lot to do, but almost every building inside was the same (and more). Sort of like AC Valhalla and AC previous games, a large maps, but a lot of repetivive tasks. Way too much, way the same. I'm hoping for this game to be slightly different.
Thats why i enjoy star wars jedi: survival for example.
I feel like the expectation from the studio/developer were pretty clear. It is an open world, but its not a No Man's Sky/Starfield.
It looks more like a Fallout or Skyrim with a smaller playable area, but packed with things to do
I don't know wtf Morph is talking about here they Never presented this as anything More then Uncharted but Star Wars.
Yeah, my expectations of "open world" immediately made me think of and compare to Fallen Order when it comes to Star Wars, I never expected more than that.
@@AlbertoMartinez765 I think morph is conflating the public perception of what SW outlaws was going to be (which was a bit over hyped and definitely had some unrealistic expectations) and what UBI and the official mediums claim what SW outlaws was actually going to be.
UBI was pretty clear about its action-adventure-openworld nature of the game and (mostly) haven't oversold or overextended. They're delivering a starwars game with the far cry/assassins creed formula. Not everyone loves that, but its something they deliver on fairly well. Players- on the other hand, don't like to listen. The hypetrain is usually a bad thing, misinformation and rumors spread like wildfires, and peoples imagination is always more inventive and fantastical than reality is. So personally, I did see a lot of people over-hyper SWO and attributing things to it that we're never confirmed, or were otherwise just conjecture. Again, it happens every time. People just get ahead of themselves: "This is going to be the next big thing! its the [insert favorite game] of Starwars games! I cant wait to do [thing that was never said would be included] and interact with [character that was never shown to be in the game]!"
I'd say "damn why haven't gamers learned this lesson yet, over-hyping games is bad, we learned this countless times over the last decade" but I'm fairly certain that a lot of this attitude comes from the younger generations and casual audiences who are just starting their ""journey"" and weren't around (or weren't paying attention) when this sort of thing happened last. Unfortunately it seems overhype/unrealistic expectations and the rift that creates between reality and the actual game is a natural phenomena and a feature of the modern gaming landscape. Even Star Citizen suffers from this phenomena.
@@GomulDart No it's not gamers' fault for filling in the gaps that Ubisoft purposely did not outline. Morph explained the extent of the map sizes, not Ubisoft. Why didn't Ubisoft announce that first when revealing the game? Why did a UA-cam have to put expectations into perspective by outlining exactly how big the maps are? That's Ubisoft's job, not gamers.
People only get "overhyped" for things based on what is and/or is not outlined by the publisher. And here Ubisoft -- much like Bethesda -- basically let the over-hype get to a point based on details of omission. Some studios set expectations properly, like the studio that made Kingdom Come Deliverance -- they outlined exactly how big the game was going to be, what the combat would be like, etc. Gamers went in with proper expectations and were pleasantly surprised; no overhype needed.
@@Billy-bc8pk what... do you want the sq km area of the maps before you get hyped? Is the area of maps really a big deal to you? From what we see in the video their fairly dense and detailed, some more than others. But we've also only seen 2 maps of presumably at least a couple more? If they're all detailed like the ones we see I dont get the issue. They aren't fully simulated planets but this game was never billed as a sim game, again its been billed as an openworld action adventure game.
I feel like everyone forgets that Star Wars 1313 was a thing people wanted. Or that we've had Star Wars games where you're not strictly a jedi with a lightsaber the whole game. Hell, some are still holding out hope we'll get a republic commando sequel.
I wish we could get 1313 and classic battlefront 3
@@deraelevans222 Same here. Those games looked awesome.
No, no one forgets that. In fact, there are dozens of comments on about every Outlaws video I've watched with people talking about how they would have preferred 1313, and with good reason. As Morph said, Kay is literally just a skin-swap of Han Solo to fit Disney's "force is female" narrative, but there is no reason we couldn't have just had a proper Han Solo game, which would have been way more popular and much more appreciated from the fans. Or... they could have just given us 1313 as it was intended.
I don't think anyone forgot that. I think people understand that we could have gotten many far better executed and more ambitious games with this premise. But instead we got...this. we could have gotten to create our own scoundrel or that has a far better technical foundation and wasn't an extremely derivitave version of this game, with the most predictable main character, and contrived/hollow narrative.
Ubisoft threw away yet another chance do anything other than the same tired formula they've done countless times that is the very reason that their company is doing terribly.
Literally all I want is Star Wars GTA on a city planet
This brings up a pretty good point I think that how big a game area feels isn't directly proportional to the actual geometric size of the playspace. A 9km^2 area filled with interesting stuff probably feels quite a bit bigger even than a Star Citizen planet. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one.
But ubisoft
The way she holds the blaster and shoots it disturbs me lol
So weird right, it's oddly super distracting and off putting for some reason
thank god someone else mentioned this thought i was imagining things haha yeh its like she's not holding it straight at her target!
She's holding it like a street thug shooting up a gas station lmao. Not even that it looks so weird with the bent elbow and as if the gun points upwards from the target
I hate third person shooting because of the character's body obstructing fov,. I notice there is no zoom in when the character shoots.
Shoulder swap would help with this.
Sorry, but I never thought this was going to be ANYTHING like Star Citizen or Elite Dangerous. Massive said from the beginning they were making a story driven hand crafted action adventure open world game. Sounds like that's what we're getting.
Exactly. Nobody hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans
I'm actually really relieved to hear they didn't go really big with the world. My main gripe for Starfield was the scale and it's my main fear for SC also. A big world is great, but only so far as the developers have the resources to fill that space enough so that the worlds feel believable, lived-in and unique.
Well as CIG likes to point out, the whole point of putting RaStar in the hands of gamers is so that we the audience fill out the planets, not CIG. There are some theme-park style areas and locations in Star Citizen for exploration/questing/event purposes, but CIG has made it known that majority of the empty spaces on planets will be for players to fill out, not them.
@@Billy-bc8pk Ah cool, I was unaware of RaStar and their intention there. I'd still personally prefer 50 systems over the 100(?) they plan for just to have more unique stuff to discover in those systems. But like you say, the style of game is important for this. With SC being an MMO it makes sense to have large empty spaces for the players to fill out themselves vs a singleplayer rpg where you can't build anything.
Combining an RPG with unlimited procedural worlds is a fascinating, possibly cursed, problem of game design. I’m also fascinated when companies that are no doubt much smarter than me seem to keep making the same cursed decisions.
@@Billy-bc8pk My concern with SC is for every epic emergent story of high adventure by the roguish hero, there is an implicit mirror story where some annoying troll sneaks in, stabs your friends and nicks your stuff. 🙂
@@peterd9698 Lmao yea, I think it started when open world games were a new idea and everyone was amazed by how large the worlds were. I think the publishers (and to a lesser extent the devs) still think this is going to be the best way to sell their game. The sad thing is they're right to some extent, people still get blind hype for world size.
I'm not disappointed, I never expected anything from Ubisoft to be honest.
Looks good but Ubisoft…
You'll never be able to login
Looks good? It looks like a hot steaming pile of dogsh*t. Combat looks very bland and boring both on the ground and in space. This looks like 'The last of us' in a 'Star Wars' jacket but without any redeeming qualities.. except maybe some decent landscaping but in todays world 'decent' graphics are not something revolutionary
@@BillyFrenchAnd I thought I was the only one with that problem
@@Y0RAY I think the combat is simple on purpose, to appeal to casual gamers.
@@Y0RAY You must really dislike shooters. The combat straight looks like any other 3rd person shooter
"Punished for standing out in the open" while you show two segments where 90% of the shots miss you from within 15 feet 7:52
Because he's a shill repeating a mandatory talking point.
I am a casual gamer, and I think I would like this game. I can't attend hours exploring something, so I smaller world is perfect. As long as the story is alright I am good.
Totally agree with you
this preview has actually given me hope for the game. was a fan of the jedi series with Cal cestus and crew.
The dense detailed map appeals far more to me now a days, than it did only a few years ago. Starting to look forward to this game
I think it is worth metioning that Massive entertainment lead the development of this game, they are a Ubisoft studio but not as managed by Ubisoft as you might think.
I still really need a no man’s sky type Star Wars game
10 out of 10 times I would rather have a smaller more detailed open world than another Starfield. From what I have seen of Outlaws so far, I'm definitely not getting it day one but I think after giving it a couple weeks to see how it launches, it looks like a good enough game to get.
Not planning to continue supporting Disney / Lucasfilm or Ubisoft, but I appreciate your review Morph!
Another excellent video from Morphologis! I love the variety of games you cover!
I'm genuinely happy this is the case. I prefer a smaller but handcrafted and purposeful open world to an empty and soulless larger one.There's also many planets, and I would always pick multiple smaller open areas rather than one single giant open area on a single planet for a Star Wars game. This also leaves the door open for new planets as DLC and thus more variety.
Not pre-ordering before the last minute but the more things I hear from those who tested it and the more I'm confident it will be a blast. I absolutely loved played AC Odyssey and I feel that it's going to be similar in many ways. As a Star Wars fan I'm gonna grind the fuck out of this game.
3:41 it seems we can't escape npcs standing in places they shouldn't (though i understand this is a pre-release build)
Give us the NPC interaction from Watch Dogs Legion, the fighting mechanics of the Division, and the adventure/exploration of an AC game, and how can they miss? Oh yeah, Ubisoft!!
I'm down!!! , never thought it was going to be crazy in depth open world sandbox. I expected it to be a typical ubisoft open world game which can be fun.
Refresh Page, posted 29 seconds ago. excellent
Actually looks better than I thought, I'm glad they've reduced world size scope coming from Valhalla and the like. Well you've given me more hope now. Kay and Nyx seem fun as well!
How was the into-city transition on performance/pop-in? I'm thinking Dragons Dogma 2.
Have they finally ditched the signature exploration tower zones feature or at least change/reduced it somehow?
The random encounters or conversations seem cool, how obvious or out of the way are they? Were the events out of the city more tied to the outposts we saw or are there any on the roads between?
4 hours sadly didn't give me enough time to be able to answer all your questions very thoroughly, but I'll try my best.
They hid the LOD transitions really well. I didn't precieve and pop in speeding along the surface to destinations, certainly no performance drops. I don't know what spec machine they were running, but they were running at 1920x1080.
Map exploration seems to work like RTS games, where what you've visited becomes lighter on the map - which is 3D by the way. Very cool UI experience, that goes for space as well. Crossing into new territory though will let you know the name of the section and the owning faction.
Random encounters seem to be able to happen anywhere, and you'll be called over to locations from afar via radio call. There are some things though that you just need to stumble on, like a stash house, or an unmarked bandit base.
@@Morphologis Yeah 4 hours isn't a lot of time but that was actually more info then I was expecting! Super happy they've gone with the normal Fog of War exploration rather than the rush to the tower and see everything approach; kind of pulls you out of the world after a few Ubisoft titles. The exploration diversity also seems great as well, was kind of worried that towns would be mini hubs of things to do and the roads in between are just empty.
Seems like they are doing a slight pivot from how they've approached the last few assassins creeds which I'm happy for, density versus expansiveness.
Thanks for the detailed response and great video!
@@Spartan1Vit is worth noting that this was developed by massive and only published by Ubisoft, so that could account for some differences in design philosophy.
@@Ocelot3765very true! I think they did avatar as well and I think that went better than expected. You never know how much a publisher wants to influence development but it looks like they've been able to diverge from the Ubisoft formula a bit so good luck to 'em.
It might not be everything I'm hoping for. But this latest round of previews has convinced me that I'll enjoy playing it.
I dont know... i feel like this looks like every UE5 terrain generate demo.
Once you play one open world game from ubisoft, you have played all of them
you are not an explorer obviously, their worlds are beautifull, if you only have the eye to see it. if the gameplay was only half as good....
@@wout123100 I play videogames because there is gameplay in between, if i want to see pictures or a slideshow im going to the cinema or whatever
I think you're literally the only person on this planet who expected a Ubisoft game to be more than a typical open world Ubisoft game lmao
Looks interesting. If it would have been on Steam, I might have picked it up. But Ubisoft locking to their launcher makes it a nogo.
I think this sounds nice. I love space games and I've spent a lot of time playing NMS recently. I've had a great time, but even though the world is big and complex the world is not that appealing to me. I never feel like I'm a part of it around me. I have the same thing in star citizen, I feel more like a visitor than a part of the world and I think the cause for this feeling is that you can't have any lasting impact on it.
What impact are you going to have on this world though? Most Ubisoft games have never had anything like player decisions when it came to the story so what lasting impact can the player have besides maybe clearing Outposts from criminals which then wont show up there anymore.
@@sickmit3481impact is not dependent on choice, even though the story might be linear the world and the npcs in it will react to what's happening.
'Double edged lightsaber'
isn't a lightsaber basically 100% edge? I've already spent too much time thinking about this joke
Think Darth Maul's lightsaber rather than Obi-Wan's lightsaber.
Damn....now you got me fucked up lmao

@@Billy-bc8pk but that's double bladed tho isn't it?

The disabling of certain parts in spaceships was in Star Wars Galaxies and it's a nice detail. You may need to loot something from a certain ship, an item, a message in a datapad, to arrest someone for a bounty, you don't want to destroy the ship.
About distance : In the same game, Star Wars Galaxies, we've had to run along on foot on every planet, until we got animal mounts and later on, speeders. In Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis, a military simulator, the maps were around 100 square km's, but only if you made missions on the map editor or multiplayer. In the single player campaign, the game would warn you if you were getting out of the mission parameters. So, as a biker, the riding distance looks ok to me, without getting bored.
looks great, cant wait to play it in 4 years after all the bugs and the rest of the planned content is added.
Bingo
@@asdalsdljsdlkfjlksdfjl8530 lol good luck waiting that long without not wanting to play it.
@@drewcarry8280 unlike you, I have self control. I'm currently doing the same thing with CFB 25
From what I've seen so far, your gameplay and the newest Ubisoft gameplay that they dropped a few hours ago, this looks like it might be a best Star Wars game out there, and it will not have a Jedi. I don't really see a lot of things that could make this game bad, unless I start nitpicking.
Everyone’s hating on this, and their only criticism is that one video from ign looked bad, and the protagonist is ugly. I don’t care about either, so I’m definitely buying this.
Wow, Space games and options.
By far, my favorite reviewer with an understanding of design language and real user experience. Keep it up. o7
Appriciate your honest review, its UBI and many of us no longer support them for obviouse reasons. Wallet is closed.
can you change her hair or wear a helmet that covers the whole face?
Since this is Ubisoft game and that's usually the only customization they allow, i think it maybe possible (based on all the previous Ubisoft games).
Do we know what type of vehicles there are is there a large variety or is it just one hover bike and one ship. Can you eventually upgrade these with new things or can we use some type of currency system to purchase new ships/ vehicles?
Wish we could make our own character
Its not possible. None of Ubisoft games has customizable characters except from maybe changing hairstyle or adding some tattoos.
I'm excited either way, I like starwars and usually unisoft makes good games. Not great not perfect but just GOOD games. I'm excited to see that they do
Im not playing as any character that has that haircut..
Very skeptical still since ive been an ahole towards anything ubisoft calling them purveyors of casual arts exclusively, but im open to giving this a shot now if it does have this potential, especially after few patches are rolled out and content gets refined. We need much better space games. :)
2:07 some weird texture effects as the hover bike makes the grass disappear into the ground while the bike is above the area and moving. Game looks fun, but looks brief. Dont see much replay with such a small area to enjoy. Seems like a linear gameplay not like SF where you can pretty much do whatever you want and not really touch the main story line. You did mention that you can bump into NPCs and get side quests similar to GTAV, CP2077, and SF though.
So glad they went with smaller detailed maps, makes exploring so much better.
Was there any kind of loot system with teirs? Like what are the shops & creds for?
So I will just say, personally I didn't have the expectation for this to be like "no mans sky" or anything like that. The trailers seemed pretty clear to me and many others that this was more of a standard ubi open world rather than a sprawling space game
oh great, they have the "do thing x times to unlock this or else" that we all know and hate
We've started using the term Open World incorrectly in my opinion. Star Wars Outlaws is more theme park.

Best explanation video I've seen on this game 👏 instant sub
1:48 no they are not. Most the people that made this never worked on the original games in these series.
Stop making excuses for bad companies.
Question: If all the personal land vehicles (smaller than a Jawa crawler, anyway) are hovering craft, why are there dirt roads? Those are cut out of the vegetation like animal runs by hooves and tires, and then possibly remetalled or surfaced by local councils or similar when the amount of traffic geta high enough. If there are no pack beasts or wheeled vehicles, whence comest the paths?
The hover vehicles still exert force on the ground, you'll see it when flying over water or grass when it's pushed aside. I'm guessing it would disturb vegitation with a lot of traffic eventually. Just a bit of theory crafting XD.
@@Morphologis I'm going to press X on that, but it seems about as plausible as dark matter. 😁
@@CyberiusT speeders still have propulsion. It’s like a mini helicopter going over the ground.
Looks very pretty, but SW has been too tarnished me for to get excited about anymore.
I haven't heard of anything about this game, but this looks pretty cool. Definitely will pick it up.
Love your perspective on this game! I’m eager to play it and think I’ll pick it up for sure. Love the idea of the more handcrafted areas rather than larger open generated stuff 🙂 I’m always cautious when Ubisoft gets my hopes up but I think this one will work out for the better 🎮 This one seems like my type of game so far!
Seems like a better version of open world Ubisoft. No towers needed to be climbed to unlock the map? Good! But strictly third person is off-putting to me...
My favorite part is how they took a beautiful woman and made her ugly.
Bruh why she holding the gun like that lmao
star wars.. sort of how they hold and use blasters it doesn't make much since but that is how they're generally supposed to
A nice video. I enjoyed your opinions and i do want to give this a try at launch. I really hope its good.
Thanks for the coverage Morphologis. Good to set expectations.
Didn't like the look of the combat, but I'll still give it a look when released.
The game world is exactly what I expected it to be. I'm used to how they promote these things, and unless I see them promote a massive open-world, I assume it's a fairly small set, with a large amount of background scenery.
Did the speeder bike feel like a motorcycle or like a car? I know cyberpunk had this issue , and even though it’s all sci-fi tech, I just hope the vehicle dynamics feel good, especially if we have to use it a lot.
Glowing enemies, eye roll.
I'm really glad the maps aren't going to be overly big. The problem with a lot of open world games is that the maps begin to feel like a wasteland with little sprouts of content here and there.
this as the theme and style for Star Citizen, in a finished state, would be a dream.
I will wait for the full release before deciding if i care about a Disney Star Wars game from Ubisoft or not.
I'm going to wait until it's been out for a couple of months before deciding to get it or not. While a 4-hour play through from a reputable source is compelling, most Star Wars games are just okay and I haven't loved a Star Wars game since SWG.
So you can't get out of your ship seat while in space? What is the ship interior like?
You can only walk around your ship, when it is on a planet.
Why is there roads but no vehicles other than hover vehicles?
To be fair- just getting to walk around in Star Wars is pretty cool. Younger me is excited about that part.
I do think this game would have been much more hype with some very simple design choices from the start- perhaps a custom character creator, and some background choices for role playing purposes and stats/perks. Even if we were still limited to JUST being a smuggler archetype for the sake of keeping the story the same.
I think the modding potential on PC could be a cool thing as well.
Prolly not touching this anytime ever.
Ohhhh nooooo, please play it! PLEASE!!! You are hurting everyone by "prolly not touching this anytime ever" 🙄 you clown....
I am curious if we get your experience or IGN's experience.
Ubisoft sadly is too well known with downgrading
How fast are the winds at 17 seconds?! really hurts immersion...
The world looks much better than what we've previously had, but some things seem unnecessarily slow, and the stealth seems reliant on the face hugging droid. But I'll have to wait and see.
I wish the AI in SC was just a bit like this then walking trough city's/towns... And i hope it will become more like this when the Tech is finally added.
Obviously impossible to comment on gameplay and fun factor on an unreleased game i havent experienced....but from the clips ive seen and the brief feedback from the handful who have played Starwars Outlaws....im really looking forward to playing this game and i think (hope) it will be a ton of fun too x
Apart from love, care and a nod to the source material, I had no expectations for this game x
Assassin's Creed with a Star Wars skin on top of it, this is my expectation, and so far, it has been pretty accurate.
Kay gives me Dr. Aphra vibes from the Vader comics and I'm here for it
I'm stoked to hear that the game is fun! I don't really care if it isn't a seamless vast open universe ... that is what Star Citizen is for. I want a fun game that is engaging to play. I was so dissapointed with Starfield and I am hoping that this game is better. Thanks for the review.
I like your content Morphologis, but are you going disclose how much Ubisoft paid for you to play this game?
I made a post about this but I'm not sure if it's going to get enough traction, I might need to make a short video. There was no form of payment or contract for payment for this or any other video on this channel for Star Wars Outlaws. Check out my latest post here: www.youtube.com/@Morphologis/community
@@Morphologis I see, my apologies I didn't see this post and it's great that you addressed this, though this wasn't what I was implying, it was more paid in terms of things like paying for flights, accommodation, food etc. since it's come to light that a lot of influencers/UA-camers were given those things along with free VIP tickets to Disney world and a bunch of other things.
I do that as a comment your post and i missed that you've already addressed that you were invited via a remote session.
No more of my money for ubisquish.
Was starting to feel pretty positive about it from what I’ve seen. Then I realise the ship is like you say like an arcade thing. I would LOVE if you could jump out of your seat to go fix the shields or put out a fire. Like the mini lock pick games or something. Sadly it feels like this will never happen in any space game and I’m not sure why
Ir sounds to me like the difference between say Monster Hunter vs Elder Scrolls. A locale in MH is consideribly smaller than any region in Tamriel. But big as though it may be, Tamriel is an empty and static place, whereas the Ancient Forest is teeming with life.
It seems to me that all new SW Films were made for people who never watched SW before, and this new SW game is for people who never played a game before.
From what I have seen, the cinematics for cut scenes seems not great and rather jarring transitions. Was that your experience, or were those unfinished?
Honestly, this fit the Star Wars universe more, remember, Star Wars was never Sci-fi
That intro..was so eloquently said.
I am worried about the customisation, I hope I can mod her gun or something and spec into different play styles and skills because otherwise the gameplay will get stale really quickly.
Yeah, there's a gun customization system. I didn't have time to go too much into it.
I'll wait a bit until the game had its day-1 patches and some reviews. After that I might buy / test it - even if it is not in a sale. I think the game looks and feels that good from a watchers perspective.
Still planning on purchasing Black Myth Wukong over this game; however, it does impress me that they went with small and alive versus big and dead.
looks good to me! I'm ready for a star wars story that is a bit smaller than 'galaxy-fate-in-your-hands' games that we've become accustomed to.
This still looks fantastic and I can't wait to play!
Did ubisoft fly you out to disenyland like other influencers?
great video, thanks. unrelated to that... Im visiting taiwan soon, got any recommendations of things to do / see?
i rather play in a handcrafted defined world which is ästhtic vivid and alive with authtentic characters then strawling arround an endless "Odyssey". Hope they don´t fuck it up this time. But Ubisoft, so I have no expectations.
a farcry in the starwars universe is exactly what I was hoping for!
Will there be a story mode
Because I suck at gaming and always or only buy a game if it has a story mode. Thanks. Great review!
The whole game is a story mode
