Star Wars Outlaws played in first-person VR is a force to be reckoned with
Nice console games
The
first
time
I
crawled
into
a
vent
in
Star
Wars
Outlaws
and
the
camera
changed
from
third
to
first-person,
I
thought
to
myself,
“why
can’t
the
whole
game
be
like
this?”.
The
level
of
detail
to
the
scenery,
props
and
the
many
alien
life
forms
that
inhabit
the
games’
multiple
planets
is
incredibly
impressive
and
it
makes
the
areas
you
explore
feel
alive
and,
most
importantly,
in-keeping
with
the
Star
Wars
universe.
Even
though
I
enjoyed
looking
it
at
all
from
my
third-person
perch
above
Kay
Vess’
shoulder,
I
was
dying
to
inspect
the
assets
in
closer
detail.
It’s
such
a
well
built
world
that
I
wanted
to
be
in
it,
rather
than
observe
it.
While
I
haven’t
been
able
to
manage
that
officially
as,
sadly,
it’s
not
an
option
in
Ubisoft’s
game,
that’s
exactly
what
I
was
able
to
do
for
this
week’s
VR
Corner
thanks
to
a
new
update
to
Luke
Ross’
REAL
VR
mod.

As
you’ll
be
able
to
see
in
the
video,
Luke’s
mod
for
Star
Wars
Outlaws
is
a
little
different
to
others
that
I’ve
featured
because
this
one
has
a
first-person
camera
toggle.
The
game
can
also
be
played
in
third-person
VR
and
in
fact,
parts
of
it
still
are.
During
climbing
sections,
stealth
takedowns
and
the
occasional
in-game
cutscene,
the
camera
will
pull
back
to
show
Kay
Vess
doing
her
thing,
before
pushing
back
in
again
so
you
can
view
the
world
through
her
eyes
once
more.
It
all
works
brilliantly
and
being
able
to
fully
immerse
myself
into
the
game
and
feel
like
I
was
actually
standing
inside
a
Star
Wars
cantina
was
a
wonderful
feeling.
It’s
not
as
wonderful
a
feeling
as
zipping
along
the
open
plains
of
Toshara
on
a
Speeder
Bike
though!
Doing
jumps
and
hearing
laser
bolts
burn
by
your
head
as
you
rattle
past
alien
settlements
during
first-person
Speeder
chases
is
as
epic
as
any
Star
Wars
adventure
could
be
and
it’s
a
proper
treat
for
fans
of
both
the
game,
and
the
Star
Wars
universe.
able
to
stand
eye-to-eye
with
a
Stormtrooper
and
take
in
all
of
the
little
details
on
their
armour
is
so
cool!
As
usual,
Luke’s
mod
doesn’t
include
motion
controls
and
must
be
played
with
a
controller
but
as
always,
I
don’t
think
that’s
a
bad
thing
at
all.
It’s
just
like
playing
Star
Wars
Outlaws
in
flat
screen,
but
with
the
added
dimension
of
actually
feeling
like
you’re
standing
there
inside
a
hive
of
scum
and
villany.
This
is
easily
one
of
the
best
implimentations
of
Luke’s
REAL
VR
mod
so
far
and
the
first-person
view
point
just
feels
right.
Like
it
really
should
have
been
there
all
along.
Star
Wars
Outlaws
was
already
a
good
looking
game
but,
as
you’ll
be
able
to
see
in
the
video,
it’s
so
much
better
when
you
can
actually
lean
into
it
and
inspect
it
and
feel
like
your
part
of
it.
The
dirt
and
grime
of
Star
Wars’
‘used
future’
aesthetic
is
easy
to
miss
as
you
trot
through
in
flat-screen
but
here,
it’s
all
at
eye
level
and
this
makes
the
whole
experience
incredibly
immersive.
Thanks
to
Luke,
a
realistic,
busy
and
open
Star
Wars
world
that
you
can
feel
like
you’re
actually
inhabiting
is
no
longer
a
galaxy
far,
far
away.
This
mod
brings
the
Star
Wars
to
you,
it
drops
you
right
inside
it
and,
despite
a
few
visual
glitches
here
and
there,
thanks
to
the
strength
of
the
visuals
it’s
easily
my
preferred
way
to
play
this
game
now.
What
a
treat!
