Destiny had the same thing… If you could shoot from the Sparrow there’d be no reason to do anything else.
Perfect example of how hopelessly out of touch these suits are. Normal humans see a speeder and think “oh nice, hoverbike thing that’s sweet”. These executives watch the movie, see that the bikes are used sparingly pretty much only during chase scenes and think “oh chase scene, that’s what people love about speeder bikes, the chase scene.”
But it’s called Star Wars Outlaws.
Disney outlaws.
Star Wars In-Laws
Just reduce accuracy while in a vehicle?
Why the fuck theme it around bounty hunters then?
It’s around Kay, who is a scoundrel , not a bounty hunter. VERY different.
One of the definitions of scoundrel is “A wicked or evil person; someone who dies evil deliberately.” Bounty hunters can be scoundrels too.
If Key was an actual scoundrel it would’ve made the game much more entertaining. The unconfident scrawny teenager Kay is now doesn’t fit in with the outlaw world at all.
You’re using the dictionary definition and ignoring Star Wars established lore and terms.

And she very much fits the mold of a Scoundrel. Have you ever watched Star Wars lol?
I see, I didn’t know that the word meant something different in Star Wars.
And yes I have.
Why does being a scoundrel excuse not having the option to shoot from a speeder?
I doesn’t really, I know they explained why they made the choice. Dunno if I %100 agree with it but playing the game it doesn’t feel like that big of an issue, for me at least.
My point was more to say that she wasn’t a bounty hunter. A BH might be more aggressive and lean into combat more, where a Scoundrel is going to try to use tricks, smooth talking etc.
Fair enough, thanks
Are they actually bounty hunters? The trailer made it seem like they were gladiators competing in a blood sport league.
Does that change the ridiculousness in this statement?
Maybe not this specific statement, but I think it certainly highlights that everything about the game in general has been kind of a mess.
That’s a different game called Star Wars Hunter.
Is unnecessary for me, I suck at driving the speeder.
ETA I figured out 2 things, one is I had a setting that was making one key press count as full throttle instantly, the other was if you hold down right mouse button then that let’s you control the camera instead of it fighting you constantly.
So? That’s literally how game design works.
The other part of this decision is just that if we made it so that you can free-aim and shoot from the speeder then we’d also have to then make the speeder drive nicely when you’re not looking forward, which is actually a really hard thing
- Fredrik Thylander, lead gameplay designer
Is this guy for real?
It’s pretty shit on controller to have to drive and aim at the same time. Keyboard also has its issues as you only have wasd for movement.
Frankly it’s not even a big deal. There is still the special ability that lets you shoot multiple targets like Red Dead, but I basically never use it.
I don’t really got the impression that the main character is the kind that does random ghetto drive-bys from a speeder.
