Star Wars Outlaws is set between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and the developers are going all out to make sure the game fits not just the fictional era, but the actual age in which those movies are made - and it sounds like they're taking the same approach that BioWare did with the original Mass Effect.
"Our game is set between Empire and Jedi, so we wanted to emulate that feel," creative director Julian Gerighty said in the latest issue of Edge Magazine. Gerighty said the team at Massive has been building tech that "emulates some of the lenses of the '70s. So you have the vignetting, film grain, lens breathing, the curvature of a thicker lens, the slight lens flares - all of these things that are very subtle, but come together to give you a more cinematic experience."
