Is that voice an "AI" describing the scenes in the trailer? Because it's awful.
I feel like I'm the only one even remotely interested in this game. Does it look like watch dogs in space? Yes, but I for one enjoyed watch dogs for what it brought to the table. I've been dying to play a star wars game that doesn't involve a Jedi as the main character, so this game is right up my alley. It's Ubisoft so I'm very skeptical though and cautiously optimistic.
thumbnail makes it look like dune
Marketers really trying to attract people with any 2 second scrap of cutscene
Over/under on how many years before it gets The Crew'd?
I hate how these games are too afraid to play with anything cannon.
It's always "Yet another faction" or some enemy you've never heard of before. Yeah, they talk about the Hutts and Crimson Dawn, but that's all you'll see of them, those 2 cutscenes.
I guess what I'm saying is I would love a game where you fight crimson dawn, or with the hutts, or you join up with them, or something. I don't like how every game franchise has a new faction/enemy that conveniently you've never heard of before and will never care about again after this. Yes, it can be fun, but it makes it feel extremely disconnected from the rest of the universe.
Edit: I learned from another thread that the Hutts aren't even going to be a part of the base game, that's a Season Pass/DLC item! So the base game will be even less connected with the star wars universe!
I think it's a breath of fresh air to get something new from Star Wars after so long. I'm sick of seeing the same 3 planets and 10 characters over and over again.
There's a whole fucking galaxy in Star Wars and you want to see the same things you've already seen before? Hell no, show me new people and places and characters! Why does the fate of the entire galaxy hinge on like 20 people in two or three families? Surely there are other, equally important people who exist in the galaxy far, far away?
The entire galaxy hinges on them because its a space fantasy with superheros and supervillains... If just anyone could change the fate of the galaxy then it wouldnt be the same star wars. Its fun to be involved in those main events, even by proxy. Just existing in the universe can be fun too, i admit, but its a different fun.
I guess a balance is needed. I agree, and maybe I just sound like a whiny gamer, but I hate it being completely disconnected, but I agree everything right now is set in between episodes 3 and 4, and there's so much more.
Lol I didn't think you sounded whiny, but I did think it would be funny to counter your opinion of "Star Wars should never change!" with "Star Wars should be something different!" so we encompass the spectrum of complaining Star Wars fans. :D
This is why Star Wars Force Unleashed will always be one of my favourite Star Wars works ever. They went absolutely nuts with it and said fuck the lore. Brilliant game.
It's just going to be Assassin's Creed in space, isn't it?
I think more accurately would be the Division mixed with Far Cry in space. Kinda like the new Avatar from Massive as well.
always was
Never was
Same as it ever was.
With 3x the amount of microtransactions than ever before!!!
