Star Wars Outlaws needed a speeder because of its ‘fairly vast’ distances-
Star Wars Outlaws, the Star Wars game that will finally let us play a blaster-toting scoundrel who probably thinks a lightsaber is a low-fat cavalry weapon, is being published by Ubisoft. That brings with it certain expectations. Since this isn’t a Rayman game, those expectations include an open world that’s perhaps too big for its own good.
In a recent interview at Comic Con, creative director Julian Gherity explained that open world locations in Outlaws, like the desert moon of Toshara, are so big they needed to give player-character Kay Vess her own speeder to cross them. “There isn’t just this bustling city,” Gherity said, “in Toshara’s case it’s called Mirogana, but there’s all the wilderness outside where the player and Kay—driven by their objectives, but distracted by…
Steam smash hit Content Warning has sold over 700,000 copies after giving away 6 million free copies-

But with a $100 discount coupon available at Amazon, as part of its Big Deal Days promo, you can bring the price down from $609 to that listed $509 price. That’s $40 less than Secretlab, and even with its own $30 discount if you’re a first…
