"all they have to do is meet the expectations" We are talking about Ubisoft, that would be the single greatest accomplishment in the history of the studio.

may the 4th just makes the most sense, i still dont understand why star wars games/shows never release on literal star wars day

Remember, this is Ubisoft, and the last five years of steadily declining quality is their new identity.

"Is this good for the player?"

That fly into space load screen is basically like the Assassin's Creed loading into the animus screen where your character can walk around while the game is loading. Flying through the clouds is basically the same concept. You can control your ship, but the game is actually loading in space.

I think a big make or break element of this game is going to be the weaponry we get to use and the way traversal works. It's one of the few Star Wars games where we don't have a lightsaber and force powers to keep us interested in the combat. Just giving us a blaster isn't going to be enough. I hope we get multiple different weapons from across the Star Wars lore. There's also no force jump or jedi acrobatics to keep traversal from getting boring so it would be cool if they gave us a jet pack or grappling hook in order to add that extra dimension to the maps. That's something Ubisoft is usually pretty good at. They don't do a lot of flat areas.

How, in the year of our Lord 2024, can anyone believe in a trailer from a Ubisoft game?!?

I was unsure on the tech side of things for this game after Starfield's launch but after playing Avatar Frontiers of Pandora I am 100% convinced Massive have the engine to pull this game off. If you've played Avatar, you'll know what I mean. From the insane draw distances and details from afar, as Luke mentions with foliage etc moving way off in the distance, to INSANE microdetails when you get up close to things, I am excited to see how this engine translates to other areas of this open world star wars game.

5-10 years ago I would be hyped after a Ubisoft trailer and pre-order but now it's always wait for release, reviews, and patches.

Keep in mind, Jedi Survivor’s reveal trailer was on December and was originally planed for March 17 so if the drop a trailer soon, this game could very possibly drop may/july

I haven't seen anyone in the SW community even talking about it. I'm at the point where I'm basically going to ignore a SW project until it comes out and then wait until reviews are in for it. THere has been so much garbage lately it's not worth my time.

I just want a cyberpunk-like star wars game. The full customization of your character would’ve been amazing, like the alien race and backstory.

I really would have preferred an open world rpg Star Wars game that we could have created our own character from a few different races maybe and choose our own path if we wanted to become an outlaw or maybe even join the storm troopers or something idk just spit balling ideas but I have a feeling this is gonna be a few planets with mostly empty maps

It looks cool. Been too long since we've had a proper underworld game.

Looks like Starfield. Open world but here are only a few areas that are populated. Loading screens between planet and space and hyperspace.

The division 1 and 2 already disguise load screens really well going out of the base of operations into the open world you still have some control of your character. But you can still slow jog out and look around and it feels really good.

If it’s massive entertainment that’s making it the same crowd that made the division 1 and 2, the open world and gunplay should be really good🤞

“Reported by our ACTUAL friend of the channel” - love the acknowledgement there :’)

I'm worried about the writing. What we've seen gave me douche chills. The main character and her little pet seem way too "kiddie".

As a massive Star Wars nerd I'm pleased with what we know so far. Massive has obviously done their research as I've already seen several references that most non-nerds playing the game will likely not notice.
