Forget the unlikeable protagonist, why this doesn't feel like Star Wars at all? They're using OT instead of ST aliens, Empire instead of First Order, but it's still soulless somehow.

World looks ugly and the lead talks like she knows how to use tik tok
Yeah, the world is really bland.
THE FUTURE IS FEMALE
games with good female protagonists?
Needs more quipping and more of that cinematic takedown "gameplay".

come back when you can properly articulate your feelings.
Can't get over the female protagonist, so, I won't.
What does he have in that suitcase?
Just looking at this picture makes me think of that massive shitfest legacy year 2.
>looooool this shit is just copying the movies nonstop why can't star wars games do something original for a change?
>looooool this shit feels nothing like star wars, why is it so soulless?
make up your mind Ganker
>looooool this shit is just copying the movies nonstop why can't star wars games do something original for a change?
nobody said that
star wars needs more vag protagonists. we dont have enough strong, competent, quirky, strong hearted, motivated, extroverted, and brave female protagonists in gaming
It's uncharted with ass creed stuff. But I'm sure it will sell well
Ubisoft
>le sassy brave quirky marvel-quipping strong independent trans lesbian wxmxn protagonist who don't need no man game #6,000,000
not buying it
not even pirating it
Can I use laser sword? Whats the point of starwars game if its not about jedi?
people like you are why star wars fricking sucks
frick off with jedi and sith and the force and the skywalkers
there's a whole fricking galaxy to explore
Making every single character into Han Solo isn't the answer either. Most people in the galaxy are just trying to get by but now every protagonist is the smuggler with a criminal past but heart of gold who runs into trouble with much worse criminals and syndicates that has to learn to work with others and do something altruistic, every droid is the unique droid that isn't pleasant or soft-spoken but programmed with a cynical or snarky personality or the protag has a cute alien friend that is capable of more than it appears
you're not wrong but that's still a better option then laser swords and le good vs le bad
that being said I probably won't even play this cause I burnt out on star wars years ago
>you're not wrong but that's still a better option then laser swords and le good vs le bad
I get that but at it's heart, Star Wars is a fairy tale and there's a reason why the ones more focused on the fantasy aspect have more appeal to people that grew up with the originals. There's nothing wrong with variety inherently but industries are just bad about that
No not really. Jedi vs Sith is what makes Star Wars cool and epic. Without that it's generic sci fi. Might as well not be Star Wars at all.
You are a manchildren.
nta, but I can tell you are just one of those gays that think they are mature because they watch le grimderp show. you are not, if anything you are even more childish than people who like simple things. you lack any sense of adulthood in your life, so you try to get it from fiction. you will never have a wife, you will never have kids, when you are old and alone, your only cope and consolation will be "oh but i like those mature shows, I am more of an adult that those manchildren who had kids!"
Nice projection, now you can go and play with your lightsaber toys.
>y-you buy star wars merch!
I dont, but it seems I hit a nerve, doesn't it, grimderp gay?
>respond with a wall of attacks after being called a "manchildren"
>i-it seems I hit a nerve!!
You are the only one who is taking this shit seriously here.
what was the point of showing stealth segment and escape when whole combat looked piss easy?
It is piss easy, the people they're trying to appeal to think stealth combat that you literally can't fail is enjoyable gameplay
muh cinematic gameplay
>another shitty Star Wars game
>another game without Bothans, let alone hot Bothan females to romance
No Bothans, no buy.
many bothans died to bring us this new star wars game
Only games I can think of with Bothans are the original BF2 and Galaxies. Strange how left out they are in nu-Wars, considering their fan appeal just based off that one line.
They get a ton of love in the /tg/ sphere, too. A lot of art in card games and the RPGs. It's really JUST Hollywood that seems to ignore them for some dumb reason, even though almost every other Star Wars alien "staple" gets shilled relentlessly in each new installment (like putting yet another Hutt in whatever the newest thing is).
>It's really JUST Hollywood that seems to ignore them for some dumb reason
hard to do right
either full cgi or shitty mask
they're also short, but still proportional, would require the right actor to execute well
that said, RIP borsky fey'lya
ugly beyond belief, might as well give Jabba the micro bikini
Don’t worry, I cropped her out for you.

Star Wars at its core is a princess rescue coomer franchise. You can have stronk women but they need to be subjugated by much stronger men and put in pretty dresses or show some skin.
Honestly surprised they didn't try to make a Sanna Staros game
>, but it's still soulless somehow.
It's not, they are going for 80s kino.
That haircut alone makes the protag 1000x more attractive. They could have played it safe and shaved the side of her head and I'd fricking rate her 0/10, but that shit is 9/10 now. Shame about the generic smug personality, constant marvel dialogue and the government mandated "cute sidekick".
>smuggler
>not smug
Would be boring as frick.
>ubisoft smug*
If you play this, you're basically taking french canadian wiener up your posterior, sad!
Ubisoft is just the publishing company. This game is being made by Swedes.
You guys are the same morons who don't understand that Netflix is a distribution platform not a production company.
Too bad her hair doesn't look like that in game.
The idea of a female protagonist doesn't bother me, it's that EVERY SINGLE FEMALE PROTAGONIST HAS BEEN THE EXACT SAME CHARACTER. The cringey "spunky sarcastic rebel" shit is getting so fricking old.
She's literally a female Han Solo tyle character from the looks of it, what's wrong with that? If this was a male character, literally none of you would complain about her demeanour.
because male does not equal female. males an females are different. What is desirable in one is not in the other, and vice versa. But you already knew that, shill.
>it's ok when the EU does it
I'm not an incel like you, so I must be a shill lol.
Ubisoft are self-proclaimed feminists, so any female character they make is going to be pure dross, these "people" have zero originality and just regurgitate (or destroy) existing things, just like this. It's very simple.
Looks plenty Star Wars to me
Never watched a single movie btw, played kotor for a few hours like 20 years ago
Her ship is so ugly.
>we want the star citizen audience
Because you can customize it.
Everything without George Lucas involved is soulless
The only thing interesting about this is the what I assume to be ex Sep Commando droid with her. Her design looks way too normal fashion to fit in with Star Wars, I think its the jacket that looks weird. Also the little alien thing can frick right off, I'm sick of cutesy alien sidekicks in sci-fi.
She's almost definitely a self-insert amalgamation of all the lead female design shitters, like your average shitiege smug c**t character.
Because Ubisoft made it and they're soulless feminst hacks, which means you can't have nice things, simple as.
>another fricking cutesy alien designed purely to sell toys
Because you want to dislike it but you don't actually have a reason
Quite the opposite, I was optimistic until the gameplay trailer.
Holy frick I didn't realize there was a gameplay trailer. I just watched it there and in 2 minutes there was:
>Dull stealth section with stupid takedowns.
>The pet thing just gives basic options that no one notices moving around.
>A crate on a crane moves and no NPC notices/reacts.
>Constant bottom of the barrel quips.
How does anyone actually play this generic shit?
The droid is a BX commando droid from the Clone Wars show but they've changed its proportions massively compared to the show.
>>A crate on a crane moves and no NPC notices/reacts.
Dude, they are literally working on ships in this facility. You think every fricking guard is gonna react to people working? That's dumb as frick.
the only honest poster among the doomers
When will I get my Arkanian offshoot waifu in a Star Wars vidya?
when wokness and SJW die once and for all never to returne
Oh look, it's another quirky and thin (but somehow super strong woman) who NEVER SHUTS UP.
Frick video games and frick all gamers.
>super strong woman
>hurt her fist after a single punch
What the hell happened, do so many sassy women play video games now? Do progressive guys like this kind of stuff?
>YES YOU TELL THAT NAZI GUY
A loud, vocal minority of feminist gatekeepers infiltrated the game industry and subverted it to specifically make things unamiable and unappealing. The male feminists (your average dev) goes along with it because they're little attack dogs and punching bags. Very simple stuff.
why does the droid need a jacket or belt
just bolt that shit straight on bro
Who gives a frick, star wars is trash.
i feel like they should have just let us make her whatever we wanted but canon lore gays cant let it happen. Just let me make her a cute twi lek
The robot wearing a coat doesn't feel like a Star Wars thing either. Droids are pretty inhuman in the series.
That's utter bullshit
>no argument
Shut up homosexual.
Droids develop "personalities" with time but it's standard procedure to regularly wipe them so it doesn't get put of hand.
Properly functioning and maintenanced droids shouldn't have personalities.
Considering it's a prequel era commando droid there's likely nowhere left that would service it. Also I suppose they're the one droid that can excuse wearing clothes since they were designed for infiltration and have been seen putting on clone armour in service of that.
>why this doesn't feel like Star Wars at all?
it's because you don't know what you like about Star Wars because you never liked Star Wars in the first place
you're a secondary whose consumption of Star Wars media occurs via cultural osmosis and not through actually watching Star Wars movies, and I'm not talking about gay shit like Republic Commando or Rogue One, I mean Return of the Jedi or Attack of the Clones, you probably haven't watched those movies in 20 years, assuming 20 years isn't a longer span of time than you've been alive
I watched both a couple of months ago, what's up with all the strawmanning in these threads?
>I watched both a couple of months ago
prove it, tell me your opinion of ewoks RIGHT NOW
Love them, love the scene where Leia meets Wicket.
>Love them, love the scene where Leia meets Wicket
Officially based and redpilled. All opinions by this poster are objectively correct. His tastes are impeccable, his arguments incontrovertible. I must kneel.
>what's up with all the strawmanning in these threads?
if you want sane threads, leave any star wars threads
i mean this sincerely
i've been browsing them for years and they've irreparably damaged my brain with how cancerous they are
you'll have a better time discussing star wars media by randomly bringing it up in unrelated threads and boards than you ever will in one of these threads
I arrived to the same conclusion when I realized there's a poster that likes something, and expresses that not through saying he likes it - but by strawmanning in absurd and pathetic ways about how horrible and terrible it is. To make people reach the opposite conclusion because of how much he overexaggerates. For years in every thread about the topic. Just think how mentally unwell you have to spend years doing that.
You're talking about the most popular movies of all time as if they're lost Bob Dylan demo tapes. Everyone white has seen star wars.
>no one is a real fan except for me
>no one is a real poster except for me
>no ones opinion matters except mine
>etc etc
OP is right, it doesn't feel like Star Wars and hasn't in a long time.
It's literally not Star Wars without Lucas
As bad as the prequels were they still had that Star wars feeling outside a few weird things. Lucas is bad but people seem to have underestimated how much effect he had on Star Wars being Star Wars.
>prequels
>bad
filtered
>somehow
It's called Disney.
her outfit is too "off the street" real
the shoulder alien is too generic and not identifiable as star wars
the droid isn't identifiable as a PT battle droid... I don't know what it is, could be any machine from a generic scifi
the background shots are very generic scifi too
>the droid isn't identifiable as a PT battle droid... I don't know what it is, could be any machine from a generic scifi
I will only accept this statement as non-moronic if you disavow the awful designs of Republic Commando
>why this doesn't feel like Star Wars at all?
Because it's not made by George Lucas. Same thing for every other non-Lucas SW media.
>vgh, it doesn't feel like Star Wars because bricks and screws
>another strawman
I see...
I sincerely fricking doubt this unless you only count Disney shit
>They're using OT
This fish fricks are Disney aliens
It’s nu-canon, thus inherently soulless
disney marketable sidekick critter #15524612 is what doesnt help for me
this thing is unironically my least liked thing about the trailer, it's even worse than her boring ship design
there are a gorillion potential smart alien pet designs, but they came up with something new that is the pinnacle of design-by-committee non-committal inoffensive bland garbage, I'd sooner have had a friggin loth-cat
its basically just a furry axolotl, there was barely any thought put into that thing
Mars needs moms
glad I wasnt the only one thinking this
I've never seen the film but all I can think about is that fricking poster of it when I see that
It should've been one of these little shits, huge missed opportunity.
This character has been in like four different shows now
They're ugly and thus not marketable.
Every future Star Wars IP will have a "baby yoda" equivalent. Porgs, this abomination, I don't even see them as characters, just a crude marketing device.
Honestly the worst cute merchandising creature design I've seen in a while.
Looks too cartoonish for its own good and something that belongs in How to Train Your Dragon, not Star Wars.
Star Wars stopped feeling like Star Wars a decade ago, its become Disney's Marvel Wars now
bros, what the hell, I thought she was white?
Lynda Carter and Raquel Welch are both hispanic
Anya Taylor-Joy and Ana de Armas are also hispanic
god she talks like she's 13, and what the hell is a latinx doing voicing a white woman? das raysis
I can handle almost all of the criticisms because I only care (barely) about star wars when it comes to the games and only because of KOTOR 1 and 2. I cannot stomach this being made by ubishit though and will therefore not ever play it. I already know the gameplay and story, it's going to be shit. No matter how much shine they put to the turd, it's still a turd.
>open world when todd howard or obshittian does it: good
>open world when ubisoft does it: bad
nice cope but the open world is not even on my radar. ubishit does one thing really well and that's their set design/open world. Sure, it's dead and empty and boring af but it's unrivaled when it comes to walking around looking at shit. Unfortunately, that's not enough to make a good game as they have proven for well over a decade with their asscreed games. They've religiously stuck to a terrible formula and that hurts every single game they try to make that isn't asscreed. and I think the only reason asscreed still makes them money is because morons are chasing the high of the first game.
It's Ubisoft Massive, I hope they haven't been entirely pozzed by Ubisoft yet, there's a chance
>doesn't feel like Star Wars at all
didn't watch the trailer but I assume it's just a smuggler in a generic sci-fi setting with very diverse humans, aliens and bad guys that wear monochrome armour. remove the jedi/sith and the personal story of the Skywalkers and there is nothing to star wars aside from generic sci-fi
>remove the jedi/sith and the personal story of the Skywalkers and there is nothing to star wars aside from generic sci-fi
the post that RAPED and MURDERED every fan of Battlefront games
The only worse publisher than EA is Ubisoft. This will be a flaming dumpster fire on PC and forgettable at best on console, mark my words.
Personally I really don't like the disconnect between her personality and her actions.
She talks like a naïve kid and harmless thief in the cutscenes & trailers, but in the gameplay she's mowing down a whole group of criminals with a fricking machine gun like it's just another Tuesday for her.
If it was the droid doing that it'd make sense, but the clean friendly looking female protag being a mass murderer when nothing about her tone or dialogue supports that just makes her seem like a fricking psychopath.
what's the difference between that and uncharted?
Both are bad
Apparently not much
Reminds me of an achievement in one of the Uncharted games called "Ludonarrative Dissonance", earned by killing a thousand enemies.
>Corellian sector vidya never
ive been wondering why for in new hope (and the first novel cover here) looks like a cave man and then in later movies/indiana jones/the other book covers here, looks more gracile. I know that there's a lower brightness on the left obviously, but there's something else because when I put on some new hope clip the other day I was shocked - 'who's this granite-man?'
He stopped doing carpentry
>If it was the droid doing that it'd make sense, but the clean friendly looking female protag being a mass murderer when nothing about her tone or dialogue supports that just makes her seem like a fricking psychopath.
Is this your first video game?
Another Forspoken in the making
you are insane if you think this will bomb as badly as nigspoken
She isn't a Black person
>JJ abrams lens flares in a game
ohhh i'm going back to dos games. also the gameplay trailer is 95% cutscenes and 'hold forward'
This reminds me of how shadows of the empire. You walk around on star wars sets and use star wars toys. It's not really a game-game like with technique and skill etc. And that was cool in the 90s because 3D was pretty new and the atmosphere of star wars was something we all wanted to soak in because of the 90s novels-led revival.
At the moment star wars is only hanging onto 40 year old boomers and Disney-women. This game is for such people who don't otherwise play video games, to 'play' as part of being a fan
>I've got the star wars cups, i've got the star wars books, i've got the star wars game,
>>I've got the star wars cups, i've got the star wars books, i've got the star wars game,
Because ubisoft is trash
The combat looked like dogshit. Enemies don't even react to being shot
Holy shit, that existed. Was that ever even released? What was it again?
Beyond Good & Evil 2, never released. I think the director left Ubisoft, which more or less killed the project dead. Not that it was ever going to release anyway.
Thank, man. Jesus Christ, 15 years in development and they still have nothing. What a time to be alive.
From what I've seen, the droid is the only likeable thing about this
Doesn't have the same tone as the OT. Or as zoomers would say, doesn't have the same vibe. Or as Ganker would say, it doesn't have the SOVL.
>why this doesn't feel like Star Wars at all?
it's that dumbass neopet that's tagging along. The Disney SW story group only cares about cute animals and non-white humans, and Droids that are actual people instead of machines
It was a thing before Disney but they have really fricking ramped it up
>Battlefront 2
>Young Leia's droid
>BD-1
>Outlaws
>grogu
>porgs
Forgot pic
if the protagonist isn't a Force User, i won't buy it. luv me space samurai wizards, simple as.
Pretty bold move of them to bring back Katarn.
I thought it was him at first too
it's just some rando that looks like the kell dragon puncher of legend
Seems like they said "Let's do the Cyperpunk2077 trailer, except with Star Wars."
>Outer Rim but as a vidya
Kinda happy, to be honest.
I liked it. Kay is cute
>this died for Outlaws
Are you moronic?
Not him but yes.
If this was anything like the universe set up by the OT, when that imperial officer said "you'll never get off this planet alive" having already played her card with the recorder, your main character would have gone something like "I'll live longer than you" and blown her away before running out the door. I mean why not? You've already got heat and they have your face, probably your ship too, it's weird that isn't even an option.
She didn't shoot her, therefore she had no reason to shoot her back. Han shot second, and therefore she could not just shoot her in cold blood. She could have shot her back if the had shot her first.
Rey 1.0 didn't work. Lets try Rey 2.0
>The snarky action girls capable of anything will continue until moral improves
no lightsaber no buy
The only things that felt soulless was the soundtrack and the shitty ubisoft gameplay.
Other than that, the characters, NPC and setting seems pretty on-point.
>Uncharted but replace Drake with a 20 year old Latina zoomer, replace Chloe with a moronic axolotl cat, and replace Sully with an assassin droid
It could have been worse I suppose
TOR was really lightning in a bottle huh, why has there not been a single good star wars RPG since?
lol
i meant swotor, the mmo does not count
frick i meant kotor
She looks boring
No one actually wants to play as a regular human in an universe where space magic and laser swords exist.
le women can do everything guise
>Mogs the goblina
I wish we were playing as him instead of this b***h.
I honestly rather play as the droid
Honestly he probably would've made for a much more interesting protagonist than the cute quippy girl or any other human Han Solo knockoff really, and it shows with all of the positive reception he's getting - even from normies.
Personally I'm just getting sick of playing as scrappy rebellious underdog humans in Star Wars games; I want a game where we play as an actual droid or alien protagonist instead; showing us things from a very different perspective through the constant rehashing of these prequel and sequel eras at least.
I find it funny how we've come full circle from the mid 2000 where every male protagonist was the "gruff middle-aged white dude" to now where every female protagonist is a "strong and independent girl boss with a smug personality". Bravo gaming industry, very "diverse" indeed.
I know it's a family franchise but it takes me out of the setting to see a criminal underworld story with a teenage girl running around as a major player. Just like Rey all alone on a shithole planet she'd get kidnapped and made into a sex slave immediately.
Is he in?
>Cad Bane
>For you
When will this smug&badass era of characters end?
The Star Wars you knew no longer exists. We took Episode 1 for granted and this is the fate we deserve
Jane Solo wow very unique.
>instead of talking to herself she talks to the Mudkip
That's one way to handle it I guess.
