[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9313945, member: 18"] This doesn't make me particularly hyped, and fundamentally, this game looks like a big fat example of "wait for reviews", for a few reasons: 1) It's an Ubisoft open-world game. Those range randomly in quality from about 4/10 to about 9/10, with very little predictability from trailers. Often stuff that looks good and has a strong feature list is dire, and vice-versa. 2) It's very generic OT-era Star Wars. I'd honestly be more excited by PT or ST-era, let alone High Republic or Old Republic, at this point. The visual design is largely uninspired/uninspiring, unlike, say, the equally OT-era Andor, which just a tremendous look. The only cool thing is the helmets on the badguys. 3) The animation looks stiff as hell. This isn't a deal-breaker, but it's pretty weird for a trailer. There's also something weird going on the with the character models that's making them look slightly lifeless beyond that - possibly bad post-processing or something. Again a bit weird for a trailer. 4) The main character seems to be a very bland and safe Han Solo cosplayer. Why? Like, having a female lead is a good thing in a game for me, but why is she so bland? Why is she cosplaying Han Solo? Do smugglers wear a uniform? When I heard about this I assumed we'd get some edgy-as-Han lady who really seemed like trouble, not this bland, conventionally-pretty nice girl in cosplay. To be fair on 4, part of my problem is this is the second big, open-world Star Wars game to have unbearably bland-seeming protagonist - the Star Wars Jedi games (Fallen Order and Survivor) feature Cal Cestis, who is like, what if you took Luke Skywalker and surgically removed all of his personality. This seems like, what if you took Han Solo and surgically removed his personality - and we've already seen that and it already sucked in the Han Solo movie! [/QUOTE]
