In the video, the host critiques the spaceship experience in “Star Wars Outlaws,” expressing disappointment with the design of the main ship, the Trailblazer, and the lack of depth in flying mechanics, particularly the restriction to a third-person perspective. While acknowledging some positive aspects like space stations for interaction and customization, the host remains skeptical about the game’s spaceship mechanics and overall immersion.
In the video, the host discusses their concerns regarding the spaceship experience in the upcoming game “Star Wars Outlaws,” suggesting it may be the weakest aspect of the game. They express dissatisfaction with the design of the main ship, the Trailblazer, describing it as unattractive and likening it to a “flying brick.” The host, a long-time Star Wars fan who has enjoyed various space-themed games, emphasizes the importance of starships in the franchise and reflects on their personal affinity for flying mechanics in video games.
The video also critiques the marketing claims surrounding “Star Wars Outlaws,” particularly the assertion that it is the first-ever Star Wars open-world game. The host points out that this disregards previous titles like “Star Wars Galaxies.” They highlight that while the game features five distinct open worlds, the space between them could feel empty, which is a common concern in space exploration games. However, the developers promise engaging activities and events in space, such as pirate attacks and smuggling encounters.
One of the significant complaints raised by the host is the decision to restrict gameplay to a third-person perspective, which they believe detracts from immersion. They argue that a cockpit view would enhance the flying experience and provide a more authentic feel. The host expresses disappointment in the lack of depth in the flying mechanics, suggesting that the game may not offer the same level of skill development and engagement as other titles, such as “Star Wars Squadrons.”
Despite their criticisms, the video does touch on some positive aspects of the game, such as the inclusion of space stations where players can land, buy items, and engage in mini-games. The host appreciates the potential for exploration and interaction within these stations, as well as the opportunity to upgrade the Trailblazer. They acknowledge that the ship’s customization options could enhance the player’s experience and connection to the character.
In conclusion, while the host expresses enthusiasm for playing “Star Wars Outlaws,” they remain skeptical about the spaceship mechanics and overall design. They believe that certain elements could have been improved, especially regarding immersion and gameplay depth. The video ends with a promise to provide honest impressions and playthroughs of the game upon its release, inviting viewers to subscribe for future content.
