Star Wars Outlaws drager inspiration fra Ghost of Tsushima

Ubisoft er kendt, eller berygtet, alt efter hvordan man ser på det, for deres åbne verdener men da Massive Entertainment, som er den del af Ubisoft, skulle designe den åbne verden til Star Wars Outlaws, kiggede de ikke indad, med i stedet mod Ghost of Tsushima.

Det fortæller creative director Julian Gerighty til GamesRadar, da skribenten nævner, at spillets åbne verden minder ham lidt om Red Dead Redemption:

It's super interesting because my biggest reference was Ghost of Tsushima, which is more on the Kurosawa side of inspiration than the Western, the John Ford side of the inspiration for George Lucas.

Julian Gerighty nævner dog, at Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption også har fungeret som inspiration til Star Wars Outlaws:

Red Dead Redemption is phenomenal, because it treats the world as a world - not as a checklist of activities that are repeated often. But I think that Ghost of Tsushima, what I loved about it was this purity of having a player fantasy and really leaning into it. This is the story, the world, the character, everything fits together with the gameplay guiding everything. That's the fantasy of 'you are a samurai ninja in Japan.' That was one of the guiding lights for this.

Star Wars Outlaws lander på PC, PlayStation 5 og Xbox Series X/S den 30. august. Ubisoft har frigivet de officielle PC-specs til spillet, som du kan se her.
