One of the minds behind Star Wars Outlaws has gone into more detail about one of the game’s big features. And it looks very interesting.
This year 2024 already promises to be rich in major releases. We’re thinking of FF7 Rebirth, of course, but there’s also Star Wars Outlaws. Ubisoft is going to give us a hard blow by offering us a unique adventure in this well-known universe. At the moment we have some information about the game, and we just got a new one. It is a very specific functionality that could change many things in terms of the experience offered.
Star Wars Outlaws will influence your decisions
It was Julian Gerighty, Creative Director at Ubisoft Massive, who came to talk to us about Star Wars Outlaws. More specifically, it detailed an aspect of the gameplay that hasn’t been highlighted much yet. This is the reputation system. It’s a bit of the same principle as in other games like Watch Dogs, if you know. In short: depending on the choices you make and how you play, the adventure will take a different turn. But this is where it will have a really significant impact.
Our man highlights the fact that this will “drastically” change the character’s development in Star Wars Outlaws. In short, you can decide to fully embrace your role as a scammer and behave in the worst possible way. And on the contrary, you have the opportunity to do “good” and not sow chaos around yourself. In any case, it will have an impact on the rest of the adventure. Honestly, we don’t know exactly what it will look like, so we’re just making guesses. Here’s what he told GamesRadar+, giving us more insight into this feature:
As a crook, you live and die by your reputation, meaning Kay must navigate the criminal world and its various syndicates, making decisions that affect her reputation, experience, and support throughout the game. A good reputation could lead to some of the most lucrative opportunities and a bad reputation could [Kay Vess] then face the wrath of a union that will hunt them down.
