Massive Entertainment, makers of The Division 1 & 2 have been working on an Open World Star Wars game for a few years and it's finally had a World Premiere. We all know how Ubisoft loves an Open World Game too!

What annoys me is whenever a Star Wars game comes out it is either EA or Ubisoft.

EA held the exclusive rights for a long time but lost their exclusivity for releases earlier this year I believe. It was a ten year deal they signed in 2013. Massive are working on this and there's a Jedi FPS shooter being worked on by Respawn Entertainment who, I'm sure, will be considering another Fallen Order game.

 

[MissChief]

Thanks. Added to the OP.

Think that was Star Wars 1313 which was set entirely on the lower levels of Coruscant.

As for Outlaws, it appears interesting, but dissapointingly looks like no co-op. Was hoping for a sort of The Division but in Star Wars type game.

Star Wars Rebel Commando style. That'd be great!

My worry is it's going to be a Jedi Survivor game without a Lightsaber and force powers

 

[MissChief]

Am I right in thinking Outlaws is included in Ubisoft+? It seems so from the website so could just sign up for a month for £15?

It should be yes. Although EA I played Jedi Survivor in the same way.

HAHAHAHAHA
Shock as game made by generic slop publisher churns out another piece of generic slop.

Its amazing that they somehow made it look worse than I had already imagined. From the studio that has so little awareness that they will happily **** on Elden Ring whilst releasing some of the blandest games in existence and trying to get you to pay for xp boosts. Comical really.

Massive have a pretty good track record, but I'm definitely waiting for reviews before buying.

 

[MissChief]

I suspect I'll do as I've done for both Jedi Survivor games and sub to their subscription service for a month or two and play it through for 50-60% of the cost of buying the game outright.

 

[MissChief]

With AC Shadows also of interest to me this may well be the way to go.

Ubisoft+ is £15pm. You could have both games, with some pre-order bonuses from both games as well, played from start to finish in a couple of months for £30 compared to £100+ to own both, maybe even £120-£150 depending on what bonuses you get.

I know the publishers are counting on people remaining subscribed for months at a time, with an element of 'I forgot to unsubscribe' but I'd wager many more are simply subbing for a specific game or two for a couple of months at the most and then stopping for £30. I K ow I did for Jedi Survivor.

 

[MissChief]

Yup, it makes sense. 3 months max and I’d finish them and likely never play again anyway.

And even if there was DLC at a later date the games would likely then be in the lower tier subscription package for £6pm or something.

 

[MissChief]

I think at this point it's not really looking like an 'if'.
I'd like to be wrong, truly.

Massive Entertainment have a pretty good history so I'm hopeful. Still won't pre-order though.

 

[MissChief]

I shall take your word for it. I don't really know publishers/developers much and what they're involved with outside of a couple.
Plus let's face it. It's rarely the developer's fault is it. It's because they're being forced to work to unrealistic time scales.

Massive have done The Division 1 & 2 (and 3 is in development) and the Avatar game which I haven't played but was well received. Part of the problem with Star Wars games is some of the plot lines are limited by Lore or Disney.

 

[MissChief]

Oooh, I think I'll give that a watch....2h:20m? nah, changed my mind.

 

[MissChief]

I'm looking to replace some ML140s, where can I find this site?

It seems that most of those that have played it have enjoyed it, at least to a certain extent, and those who haven't, and don't think they will have had their beliefs validated by a few reviews here and there, like some sort of echo chamber effect. Much like Politics too. I may give it a go at some point, likely through Ubisoft+. It'll be interesting to see how my 3080 10GB runs it at 1440p Ultrawide.

Games are chock full of design decisions and limitations that don't make logical sense but have been put in place for reasons. To criticise this game for these reasons when situations like this have been in place since the ZX Spectrum days and even on consoles since even before Halo which enforced on foot sections rather than vehicle sections is very short sighted.
