It looks like there's a little jank to work out still (physics and animation rate especially). I think the team behind The Division is very talented, but their setting and weapons have been relatively boring. Having them build a Star Wars game makes a lot of sense to me since those aspects are already well established and adored and they can just make a fun game with strong mechanics.
Umm, The Division 1's New York is anything but boring.
I think it was well executed for what it was, but that ultimately it was a real world location in a post-apocalyptic/collapsed state. Not particularly novel, and being grounded in reality, it's all very same-y for lack of a better term.
Still loved the game for the time myself and my buddies got into it, but at some point, it just didn't hold our interest. The game mechanics were very well designed, though, albeit somewhat overwhelming at times.
It is boring but very very good looking, if outlaw has a good gameplay loop and story, this could be something.
