Maybe just my approach, but even if it's scary, you've got to do it. You've got to lean into it. What's the downside to pitching a Star Wars game at Lucasfilm Games in George Lucas's old office? I mean, what's the downside to that? If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but you still have that experience. It's a G.
But first, a word from our sponsors. Have you heard the flavored air category is quickly becoming the leading alternative to vaping and smoking? It's a whole new movement towards better habits led by today's sponsor, Fume. Fume is an award-winning flavored air device that draws flavors into your mouth. It's not a vape; though, it fills the void of ditching a bad habit because you still have something to reach for. It also has non-toxic flavors and is a guilt-free alternative. There are no batteries, so you don't need to recharge.
Star Wars Outlaws or some have coined it 'Ma'am Solo' is releasing this month. Excuse me, it's ma'am. It is ma'am. But every step of the way, IGN has had exclusive updates on this absolutely mammoth of a game. One of the first IGN videos focused on the - and I quote - 'First open World Star Wars game.' The first IGN coverage is what you'd expect: a 21-minute Snow Job while staring at character models that look plastic and lifeless.
Gaming journalism is so full of sh**. They don't even bother to wipe their own a**es anymore. Every location oozes Star Wars authenticity from the lighting to the architecture to the NPCs milling about. Massive has, based on what I've seen so far, done an excellent job of setting an authentic stage. Oozing Star Wars authenticity.
As such, the Blaster battles felt like they had meaningful stakes, and the Stealth gameplay had a bit of weight to it because I knew that I'd be up against it if I messed up. The sneaking around and hitting characters in the back of the head to knock them out wouldn't seem so stupid if this animation wasn't used for everything. This girl can even one-shot a stormtrooper when their helmets are made to survive kinetic blast laser bolt shots.
German YouTube channel removes their Star Wars Outlaw preview video after admitting a third-party agency had to approve it. Video games now feel like political campaigns in America, needing to control every narrative to influence the public's opinion of their candidate. And much like politics, they will overpromise and underdeliver.
