DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

star wars outlaws is an ambitious project by the Swedish studio Massive Entertainment, known for such games as Tom Clancy's The Division и Avatars: Frontiers of Pandora. The game is being developed in close collaboration with Lucasfilm Games and promises to be the first fully open-world game in the universe. Star Wars. The game takes place between the events of the films The Empire Strikes Back и Return of the Jedi, allowing us to explore a little-studied period of the galaxy's criminal underground.

Development of the game began with Lucasfilm's proposal to explore the criminal underworld Star Wars, which opened up a lot of new opportunities for developers to create an original story. The main character is Kay Vess, a young criminal striving for freedom and ready to do anything to achieve her goal. Massive Entertainment chose this time period to move away from traditional stories about fighting the Empire and focus on the life of the underworld, which allowed for unique gameplay and atmosphere.

Initial development was focused on creating large-scale and detailed worlds, which was made possible through the use of the Snowdrop engine. Massive studios put a lot of thought into every element of the game, including creating new planets and recreating familiar locations like Tatooine. The development process included research of visual and textual materials on Star Wars, which allowed us to create a world rich in detail and atmosphere recognizable to fans of the franchise.

GRAPHICS

star wars outlaws made possible thanks to the power of the Snowdrop engine, which has already proven itself in other Ubisoft projects. This engine allows developers to create not only highly detailed worlds, but also vibrant and dynamic environments that can adapt to the player's actions. Visual effects such as light and shadows, high-resolution textures and character animations work to create the most realistic and immersive atmosphere.

One of the key graphics features in star wars outlaws is a detailed study of the environment. The developers handcrafted every corner of the world, avoiding the use of procedural generation, to ensure that each location felt unique and alive. This applies to both wild nature and urban locations, which were created with attention to detail. Planets such as Toshara, inspired by the savannahs of Tanzania, and Tatooine, with its famous sand dunes, are recreated with great love for detail.

Particular attention was paid to lighting and visual effects, which play an important role in creating atmosphere. The Snowdrop Engine lighting system creates global illumination and dynamic shadows for more realistic scenes. This is especially noticeable in night scenes or dungeons, where light and shadows create a tense and mysterious atmosphere.

GAME ENGINE

Snowdrop Engine it runs on star wars outlaws, is one of the most advanced game engines available today. This engine was developed by Massive Entertainment and is used in many Ubisoft games including Tom Clancy's The Division. Snowdrop gives developers powerful tools to create large, detailed worlds that can be explored in an open format.

One of the main features of the Snowdrop Engine is its ability to create vibrant and dynamic environments. The engine supports complex lighting systems, including global illumination and dynamic shadows, which allows you to create scenes with a high degree of realism. Snowdrop also provides the ability to create complex animations and physics simulations, making every movement of characters and objects in the game world as natural as possible.

In addition, Snowdrop Engine supports advanced technologies such as ray tracing and DLSS, which allows you to achieve high performance without compromising image quality. Ray tracing is used to create realistic reflections and lighting, and DLSS helps improve performance on a variety of devices. These technologies make star wars outlaws one of the most graphically advanced games in the universe Star Wars.

In general, star wars outlaws promises to be not only a gripping story, but also a visual masterpiece that will give players an unforgettable immersive experience Star Wars. Thanks to the use of the Snowdrop Engine, the developers were able to create a game that will set new standards for excellence in the open world genre.

star wars outlaws supports technology NVIDIA RTX Direct Illumination (RTXDI), which significantly improves the visual quality of the game. RTXDI uses ray tracing to illuminate the scene accurately and physically. This technology analyzes the most important light sources and their impact on the environment, creating believable shadows and lighting. Thanks to this, the scenes in the game become more realistic and deep, taking into account all the subtleties of the interaction of light and objects in the game world.

All video cards were tested at maximum graphics quality using MSI Afterburner. The purpose of the test is to determine how video cards from different manufacturers behave under the same conditions. Below is a video of a test segment from the game:

Our video cards were tested with different screen sizes and with graphics quality settings in TAA anti-aliasing mode without upscales.

GPU TEST

In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920x1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.

RAM TEST

The test was carried out on the basic configuration of Core i 9 13900K with 32 GB DDR5 6400 MHz pre-installed memory. All used RAM was taken as an indicator. The RAM test on the entire system was carried out on various video cards without launching third-party applications (browsers, etc.). In the graphics, you can add and remove any resolutions and video cards as desired.
