"You get the ability to lockpick"
"And that will open doors"
Nice, Mike. Opens chests, too.
One does not simply open more than doors
what will they think of next?
@@willyum3920 passwords to block hacking?
Who needs to pick locks when you can just shoot the door control panel and the door will open or close depending on what the plot requires?
@@masteryoda7207 Heh, in games it might make the loot permanently unavailable.
I'll never get the yellow paint discussion. With how detailed and highly populated (with random objects) environments in modern games are, I'll take an indicator I can immediately latch onto over clicking the interact button while bumping into every edge of the area trying to find where I'm supposed to go.
Agreed! I used to hear the argument about how seeing yellow paint or other markers would take away from the immersion. But you know what else takes me out? When my character model jumps face first against everything on a cliff face until they finally get to a rock they can interact with 😂
Not much of a pixel-hunting fan, either?)
I believe it's a point critics brought out and many of the hardcore people thought it's a good point. But for most games' most players the yellow paint is a good thing, it's just that most people don't say they are fine with yellow paint since it's the normal thing. Of course yellow paint in a FROM soft game would be weird tho.
I got used to the yellow paint mechanic - and was grateful for it - in Horizon Zero Dawn. In games where you can’t just climb on anything in the world, it’s appreciated.
@@landonewts I tried playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider with climbing paint disabled on my first playthrough and it was an exercise in frustration to say the least and re-enabled it before the tutorial section was even over. I will say, without the paint markers, the design layout of the environment all blends together seamlessly so I'd say that's impressive from a detail and visual design perspective. But yeah, players need guidance on these things. Horizon Forbidden West lets you keep the climbing bits yellow, but you can disable the Focus HUD glow, and I find that to be a good middle ground. You still have to pay attention to the environment, but any climbable areas are obvious when spotted. And the option of using your Focus to highlight these points still exists if needed. I absolutely love how much of the HUD in the Horizon games are technically diegetic. Like the way the signs are automatically translated by the Focus looks very cool.
I used to chuckle at the yellow paint splashed everywhere in games. Now I'm playing Frontiers of Pandora and saying to myself "Sure wish there was some paint on these rocks so I didn't have to hop around like a moron trying to get up there." 😆
Exactly. It’s not as big of a deal as the internet would have you think. I don’t mind the yellow paint at all. It was super annoying having to click R3 in Horizon FW every time I wanted to see what was climbable.
@@drgonzo123The problem with the yellow paint is it detracts from the game. It doesn't belong. And it comes in at a time where game developers had long since figured out a way to make things you can scale/interactive obvious but not look out of place so it never pulled you away from the game and start thinking about game design or feel like they're insulting your intelligence.
@@bobspace69Developers used to NOT use yellow paint because it was obvious what was interactable in the level. Spaces were sparse and a crate you could break stood out, as did climbable ledges. As games looked more realistic they had to indicate which objects the player could interact with because everything blends together. Developers test their games with players during development and they usually come to the same result.
@@bobspace69 Someone has an inflated sense of self. The yellow paint is actually important as a form of design, especially curation, when it comes to open world games. As someone who has had a hand in dev and QA, you've no idea how important it is to have such pointers placed for gamers, since most are bound to miss what are climbable and what are not; take for example games like Horizon FW where some rocks can be traversed while some cannot. I'd rather have a toggle like in Shadow of the Tomb Raider which gives players the option to have them on or off.
@@ScoutSilico they stood out because they were designed to stand out and still can be. Ghost of Tsushima made it super obvious where you could and couldn't climb without having to resort to bright yellow paint that made no sense to have there.
A Nix plush would be absolutely adorable
Ah, the all powerful yellow paint person. I appreciate their work. I get lost easily.
Them and the person who braves dungeons that haven't been explored in centuries to light all the torches for me without taking all of the loot. Truly the heroes we don't deserve.
"uncharted in space" is the best pitch you could've given and now I want to play it even tho I've never cared that much about star wars
One thing that a lot of people who have played it so far has said was "it doesn't feel like an ubisoft game" so that is already enough for me to get it
As someone who has gotten extremely tired of the "Ubisoft-formula" to Open-World-Games after having played the entire AC-series (well, almost - i haven't played Mirage so far, because Valhalla completely burned me out on the aforementioned formula and, thus, the series) this really is a big plus for me.
@shadowcat1606 i heard mirage leans back towards classic assassin's creed formula, but yeah i burnt out after unity honestl
@@maruwatchesyou8281 As someone who has played mirage, it kinda is.
It does still have the "Skin" of valhalla, for lack of a better term, but the overall gameplay experience was VERY nostalgic and refreshing.
In some ways id say it felt like a spiritual successor to AC1, though hampered a bit by being on the valhalla engine.
I would definitely love to play another game from the mirage devs.
Its also not as excesssively huge as origins, odyssey and valhalla, and it surprisingly ran really well on my pc (though admittedly i literally have the recommended specs this time)
As someone who completely avoided Ubisoft games for a decade, I've been playing through the AC and FC libraries and I love the standardized formula. Check-listing and not having to put a ton of thought into strategy or browsing wikis is therapeutic for me. If I wanted to play something more challenging there are plenty of other options.
@@maruwatchesyou8281 Unity is my least favorite of the AC-games, by a mile.
And it's not so much that i hate the type of game AC has become - i like the Open-World-RPG thing and Odyssey is one of my faves from the series.
And Valhalla... well, I liked the setting and the general story, Eivor as protagonist was okay (but also nowhere near as charming and sympathetic as Kassandra from Odyssey).
But the game was just... so much. It was so bloated with open-world side activities, a lot of which felt completely meaningless, the gameplay was painfully slow and clunky and it was such a mess technically and whenever they patched it, it felt like it somehow became even worse.
Andy: "First Star Wars open world"
Me: so, never played Star Wars Galaxies. Well, good for you.
I'm cautiously optimistic. I really want a good Star Wars open game and this seems to check a lot of boxes.
Same, but I've been burned by Ubisoft enough times to not maintain any hope that it won't be an empty and buggy mess with awful writing. I'll wait to see what people say after it's released
If only they had character customisation, it's just a me problem but I just can't play a game if I don't like the character I'm playing
I would love a Star Wars smugglers game kinda like AC Black Flag in that in addition to a good story you have side jobs you can do like smuggling stuff on or off a planet, or do a simple heist or transport passengers (some normal people, some dangerous) on the sly.
Don't forget a Mandolorian game, or a new Bounty Hunter game. The original Star Wars Bounty Hunter was an underrated gem on the ps2 and a new game that follows Boba Fett as he takes on main story missions as well as side contracts where you can decide whether to bring your targets in alive or in a body bag (with the higher bounty being alive of course). I'm already thinking it could follow the open world sandbox aesthetic of the Hitman games where you can get creative in how you take down your targets (although I can't really see how Mike's patented exploding rubber duck take down would come into play). I mean, we already know from Jedi Survivor that Boba Fett still has plenty of badassery still in him despite how much Disney tried to ruin him (I mean, he did survive getting eaten by a Sarlacc...twice).
@@deathbykonami5487Bounty Hunter was awesome. Although I still don't know how I was able to get past the forced inverted aim.
The twist... NIX the first Space Cat Jedi
I’m so excited for this
Also there is technically a reason that doors open when blasted, apparently companies do it as a safety setting when the door is busted for like fire safety reasons
Now, as to why they CLOSE when blasted sometimes, that's, well... uhmm...
@@stevenbobbybills Depends on the manufacturer?
And they could also be different pads. If you shoot an electronic lock, you can no longer access the lock to unlock the door, so the door stays shut. If you shoot an electronic door handle, the door will open as a safety measure because there's no longer a way to open/close the door
@@stevenbobbybillsEvil Overlord List.
If you're on a spaceship, you want your doors to fail shut rather than open because of explosive decompression risk in an emergency.
Andy "Hands On-o" Farrant.
nice, i cant wait for the sale in 2 years when they dont want to charge 130€ for the full experience
what, you mean you don't want to pay top dollar for the pre-order and then get a game that's basically unplayable until after months of patches and bug fixes?
What are you, some kind of rational consumer?
i know it sounds crazy but i highly recommend trying it!
Wishlist for sale is the best approach to the AAA's, only tricky bit is navigating through the deluge of content and inevitable spoilers between release and when you actually end up buying it.
Transitions more seamless than starfield, better careful saying stuff like that or ubi will be calling this a AAAA
I'd like to see a lets play of this. Maybe have Andy do stealth and Mike play with his usual sublety and finesse. See who does best kinda thing.
Also, is Andy wearing new trainers? I like them. Very smart.
10:50 - That's just a perfectly normal 'lead pip' for the HUD of any fighting air/spacecraft. Real-world fighters will have very similar for close-in combat using cannon.
Despite all the general misgivings about Ubisoft. I think Massive are one of their better teams and while their titles aren't necesarily groundbreaking they are always generally pretty fun, polished and nice to look at. This one has the benefit of being old school Star Wars style too.
Just not having to bugger about with bloody Jedi is enough for me to be interested.
Always thought playing as a Han Solo like character would be more fun then being the usual Jedi.
Just wondering why it took ages for someone to pick up that idea.
X Wing Alliance.
Dark Forces.
There are games...
@@613aristocrat Shadows of the Empire...
I can see so many pieces from the latest Ghost Recon and Far Cry. Neither is perfect, but I very much enjoy them both. And as a lifelong Star Wars fan, I cannot deny that's a huge plus. Good SW content has been in short supply lately.
This would be a good game if an in-game resource was like Radio Free Coruscant, reviewing and outlining all the kinds of ships and tools to best suit your needs and aspirations.
Concerns I have are:
-Ubisoft “open-world” shenanigans. I don’t expect to be able to go everywhere from the start but how much busywork or same-y missions will there be?
-Open-world in general. Having an open world is only good if there are things to actually DO there and not just vast swaths of nothing going from one story point to another. Then it’s just boring legwork that may look very pretty but that wears off fast.
-Monetization. I do not trust any publisher to NOT do this so I’m waiting to see what they try to get away with (lootboxes, purchasable currency or in-game bonuses like XP boosts or the like)
There will not be lootboxes. The micro transactions will likely be cosmetic and maybe xp boosters, but because of the skill system I doubt it.
In stealth it looks like: hey press this button and I'll punch for you, sincerely the game.
Oh so like every other stealth game? Lol mgs you press a button and it’s a takedown, splinter cell it’s the same. Do you want a QTE Rubix cube for the takedowns lmao
@@Th3greatwhite have you played original Thief games? In those games you do it yourself.
I dont understand this comment ????🤔🤔🤔🤔
Uncharted in space? I'm in!
Never forget that Ubisoft wants gamers to give up on the idea of owning the games for which we've paid $70+. They are anti-consumer AF.
If this game wasn't made by Ubisoft, I may have been inclined to get it, but I'm more inclined to believe that it will be an unfinished mess of bugs that isn't anywhere close to being worth their $70 price tag. Maybe in a few years when I can get it for $10.
The twist is that Nix is a secretly a jedi, he meets up with baby yoda and they create a long, profitable line of merchandise.
I love when Star Wars has something unconventional like a desert.
Tatooine is not simply a desert. It's a desert planet orbiting around two twin suns, with two separate mysterious indigenous species of unknown origins, and alien farming methods (because there's no water to farm conventionally)
It also has sand which is coarse and gets everywhere
@@StingRayo98 I have read Dune. Do you want thanks regardless?
@@mar_speedman So not a desert, but a desert with Aliens. How very unique of Star wars.
@@username1660 You should get an award for the dumbest sentence of the month. So brain dead, I almost died
at this point, for AAA games its just easier to assume its shit until it can prove itself otherwise.
Love to see these blokes together again
Oh no, the “squeeze through tight spaces” hidden load gimmick!
This looks like the perfect thing to get when it goes on sale
I got the Star Wars: Outer Rim board game (and its expansion) as a birthday gift last month, and I've been addicted to it. I've been interested in games where you can play as a bounty hunter or smuggler, so I'm cautiously curious about Outlaws. It's neat to hear your hands-on thoughts.
It does look very OG Star Wars in vibe and construction. If it nails that and has a good gameplay loop then sold
The Saboteur needed no Yellow paint, you just got a feel for traversable ledges after a short tutorial. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked pretty well.
I’m pretty psyched for this one, looks as if it’s shaping up really nicely. And Nyx, the little axolotl dog, is a great companion. I’m not a fan of puzzles and minigames in general, but these seem doable and not totally immersion breaking. If the game is fun enough, I’ll allow it!
You can turn off the mini games in the settings if you don’t like them.
I think my Sisters got the same Sofa in red. 😂
My wife has the same one in black ;)
I think I got your sister on the same sofa in red 😂
As someone who’s name is Mike, that opening really threw me for a loop for a moment haha
Looks interesting! Never played the uncharted games, always wanted to, maybe this will be a good gateway into that genre
Andy: And there's Nix, who is like a space-
Me: Axolotl! I love Axolotls!
Andy: Space cat.
Me: ...those are not similar at all...😂
Great video, thank you Andy and Mike.
You have given me...Hope
Check out the pricing. It's a Ubiscam.
Think I saw an imperial heavy repeater in the suspended weapons
Wasn't sure about this game but now this sounds cool to play.
The super potato shirt is pretty cool
Really proud of Andy for not being smug at all 😂
It takes place during the same timeframe as Shadows of the Empire. I hope you get to run into Dash Rendar.
Damn, I had hoped Massive would be deep into Division 3 production.
Best part about this is spending the $30 for that ONE quest you don't get with the base game. I really hope everyone doesn't mind that though... it's just a AAA game afterall.
bit weird to cry about it now its been a thing since around 2010 and even a bit earlier - ahh its Ubisoft so you have to cry extra loud
Can't wait for this.
Just existing in the Star wars universe was one of the great things about SWG. I miss that game.
SWG is still going strong. Come join it again at SWG Legends. SWG will always be the first open world star wars game, I don't know why these imposters always quote that outlaws is the first open world star wars game.
@@Oluabayo because this is a true open world game, you have games like KOTOR 1 and 2, SWTOR, Lego star wars complete sega etc these all have open worlds but they are not TRUE open worlds like Assassins creed, GTA, Red Dead that type of open world
I hope one day we get a full open world, star wars RPG with a serious character creator
(then again give starfield modders some more time and we might just get that)
I want KOTOR world building but force unleashed type combat
The space battles and travel remind me a lot of LEGO Star Wars: the Skywalker Saga
I was kinda thinking you could steal vehicles, but I think I might be wrong. Like you would see some scout troopers, take them out and steal a 74-z. You know, like an open world game.
I hope you can toggle that ship targeting thing
TBH, the thing I was actually kind of hoping we’d get to see from Ubisoft was essentially a Star Wars version of Far Cry or Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Sort of a spiritual successor to Republic Commando, which seems like a pretty natural fit for the stuff Ubisoft does competently (and dammit I want some closure on what happened to Sev).
The closure is unlikely to come because of, you know, butchered canon.
Can’t wait! Now i’m more excited! Thanks for the video 🙂
I’d be ok if they brought out a load of dlc for this
So, chronologically it would seem Jabba is still in posession of Han in popsicle form, wouldn't it?
Depends on when in between Empire and Jedi it takes place I think. Don’t know how it is in the new EU, but in the pre-Disney EU, Fett got sidetracked on his way back to Jabba with Han; every big name bounty hunter in the galaxy was after him to try and steal Han from him so they could collect the bounty, and several even teamed up to try and do it, but Fett was able to outwit them and get to Jabba.
I'm wondering whether this will end up scratching the itch Starfield failed to scratch.
Will I be able to meet or run into fan favorite characters from other Star Wars media, such as morally-gray, rogue archaeologist, Doctor Aphra? That would be super cool!
Waiting for a sale on this one, but I *might* play it. I'm pretty burnt on Star Wars.
So being science fiction, the cat is basically a dog....good. I am not a fan of the space flight fighting sections in some games but ya gotta Love a motorbike...
Honestly the only thing holding me back on this game is the main character. She just seems pretty bland and more like she's playing the part of a scoundrel than doing what comes to her naturally.
And 120 pound girl knocking out grown men with 1 punch... uh, does anyone else have issues believing this?
@@Semiba I know I'm going to get killed for this, but a female scoundrel archetype makes about as much sense as a male femme-fatal archetype.
Star Wars Galaxy was a good open world, would be cool to see that applied on a grander scale. Hopefully this leads to something like that
It does look good and I may consider getting it, but I'm still annoyed about the canceled Mandalorian FPS that respawn were working on.😔
omg, they brought back the star wars squadrons/battlefront dogfighting combat!!!!!
Your solo hans have played it
I want a space cat!
EDIT: or as a friend said.. a space axolotl.. or a catxolotl
Screw cats, I want a space platypus!
Mostly I hope the PC performance doesn't have issues. Even months after release Star Wars Jedi Survivor had them according to Digital Foundry, so I decided not to take a punt on that game, even at sale price.
i have heard a lot of people who have played it say its similar to uncharted but in the Star Wars world, i am really excited about that, well as long as its more like the older games not the watered down 4th game
So they way the discribe it being a metroidvania makes me think this game is basically ReCore.
I have a lot of respect for you guys and your opinions and its refreshing not hearing this game getting slagged off like other reviewers have
Hey Mike, it is interesting that your gaming roots includes X-Wing. I bet this is why you play with inverted settings? As for me I solely blame X-Wing as the reason why I can only play with inverted settings as well. Well, that and Elite. Cheers!
30 hours for the story is a decent size. I'm hoping there's enough side stuff to do in the game to make it last closer to 80 or 100 hours.
It's Ubisoft, so almost guaranteed to have plenty of side quests.
And 70$ for the incomplete version. They pay-walled the rest for 30 extra $$$. Don't support this.
I really want to get this! I’m admittedly wary about getting a Ubisoft game, not for the formula drama, but the company culture. I really want to get a cool new Star Wars game though!
Remember: 70$ for a 30 hrs incomplete game with a season pass. Season pass in a single player game. Don't fall for it.
@@dissuede6949 That’s another thing, I can’t really afford it
@@Zenlore6499 No sane person would buy that shit for that price in this economy. It's like they believe money grows on gd tree's.
I drank everytime mike compared this to uncharted and now i got alchol posioning
Mike defending corpse blindness, bless.
were these vertical slice chunks.
Show of the Week is back, baby!
It's a bit sad that we haven't had a Show of the Weekend in a while, but at this point I'll take what I can get. I know IGN isn't letting anyone hire additional help.
Is it just me, or does Andy seem to be a bit tired and jaded in this video. Mike is way more natural and actually excited in this piece.
Was that thumbnail part of your audition for a remake of Curb Your Enthusiasm?
Tatooine you say? Never heard of it
this is probably the first star wars game i have looked forward to in a long time because of the no jedi thing so here's to hoping none show up.
I am so freaking excited for this game.
Ngl it does looks kinda good.
Seems fun
I was on the fence with this one.. think this pushed me into the get-at-launch category
If a laser moves at or close to the speed of light...would you really need to lead your target?
If. Star Wars blaster weapons are notoriously _slower than bullets_.
Most prop people, fans, and game devs seem to treat blasters in Star Wars as a plasma weapon, from the way that they look visually to how they fire. I don't know if it's officially canon but I'd say it's widely accepted at this point, so muzzle velocity of a blob of plasma is just whatever it's accelerated to.
I'm definitely up for a game where you're playing a Han(nah) Solo instead of a stupid space wizard. Not all the previews have been as positive as this so I guess there are a few reasons for concern, but the general concept absolutely chimes with me.
Also: "... the more recent Star Wars games, particularly Jedi Outcast, Jedi Survivor..." I obviously know what you mean there, and that title would have made perfect sense as the name, but the (also great) Jedi Outcast actually came out 22 years ago, so is hard to describe as "recent".
It's funny how often the game Uncharted is used to explain things when it is just a combination of other more original games.
When is Andy gonna play Night Springs!?
I’m not a Star Wars fan but I’m definitely buying this because I enjoyed the last games. Then I’ll get AC Shadows because it looks sick and they saved AC series with Mirage that I loved but if y’all played Mirage you should it turn the series around for the better
Looks dope to me. But I am biased.
Ubisoft+ is a worthwhile subscription for me (shame not on PS and Xbox, like EA Play, though)
It's a shame that when u enter the planets atmosphere you can't just land wherever you like, like he says though just get on a speeder then off you go 😅
The music is good. I don't think I would mind having the soundtrack
I might be a bit tired of the Star Wars media but I'll always look forward to a game release, Star Wars Kinect notwithstanding.
So lovely to have people reviewing a star war game who have proper knowledge of the Star Wars universe and are clearly fans
i really hate what uncharted has done to games in terms of collapsible waterslide environments
The fact that Andy is presenting the hot new space game instead of Jane has me worried
I wouldn't be. Star Wars has never been hard sci-fi. It's not even as tech heavy as Mass Effect. But Jane has also said before that her space fantasy is the excitement of exploring and meeting new races, which is very much not Star Wars. Not saying she doesn't like Star Wars, just that it's not the type of sci-fi she usually gets excited about in these videos.
Also, Star Wars is Disney, so it's very likely that Andy was the one who got the invite.
