Star Wars Outlaws is out at the end of August, and the marketing machine is spooling up like the Millenium Falcon's hyperdrive before a hasty jump to lightspeed. Unfortunately, a sizeable chunk of gameplay has leaked, which is always disappointing for the developers, but in this instance, the contraband clip is generating some genuinely positive buzz.
It's an interesting situation, as just last week, Ubisoft dropped a gameplay clip of its own, which punters and prospective players alike quickly deemed "unpolished", whether rightly or wrongly. We won't link directly to the leaked gameplay, as Ubisoft is taking mirrors down faster than we could make the Kessel run (but it's not difficult to find). Still, at least for some interested onlookers (including PC Gamer), it's made them more optimistic about the game.
In the 13-minute clip, you can see some cutscenes, vehicular exploration and city sightseeing. No one thing, in particular, stands out, but some have pointed to the graphics and detail appearing more impressive than in previously seen official and preview gameplay. Others point to an amorphous "vibe" they previously hadn't caught.
