The Outer Worlds Pre-Release Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[vortex]

I love the idea of post-Microsoft Obsidian making an RPG about the original settlers being pushed to the fringes by a rapacious corporation. RPGs have been waiting for their Shakespeare, and may still wait, but at least they have their Solzhenitsyns!

No wonder you mentioned Solzhenitsyn ('The Gulag Archipelago' ) for we already have Deadfire Archipelago .

Will there be any gay sharkmen and Samoan tribe speak?

This is a dealbreaker.

 

[Moink]

Obsidian cannot into hair.

Very few game developers can, we are still stuck in the 90's with every female character having a dyke cut because long hair is 2hard to work with.

 

[lophiaspis]

Looks like Borderlands made by 2 gay grandpas. Trailer sucks and it seems the game will have the same old dry, lame Obsidian writing. Ah well, I suppose it will still be decent.

Now Rage 2, that's how you make a trailer. Wish I could say that's not the most interesting game on display. Borderlands was a good and fun game, the world needs more Borderlands clones.

Spot the tranny.

Who are all of this... creatures?

Celeste developers

My god, just give me the fucking Outer Worlds announcement and let me go to bed. I can't handle this much cringe anymore.

Reposting for posterity.

 

[Terenty]

The talking heads look like they came straight out of Fallout: New Vegas.

You can expect the game to have a lot of dialogue since they put them in the trailer.

These faces look mighty generic... remind me of something shitty... oh yeah, they look like Torment Numenera portraits

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

For those who missed Cain's and Boyarsky's intro (it's nothing worth watching but it should be something holy for Troika fanboys):

I am in the mood for some sacrilege

 

[Seethe]

I still have faith in this Nu-Vegas game over every other shooter RPG though. So they did well for taking a break from the isometric bullshit.

 

[SpaceWizardz]

my 2 cents

Visuals clearly are not all the way there yet, I think people here will change their minds as development furthers and they refine it some more.
Steam page makes me think there are different areas/planets and you travel between them on your space ship, fingers crossed it really isn't some open world trash.
Shooting looks like a 1:1 copy of Borderlands, I'm okay with this as long as they avoid lazy +10% pistol damage type perks. Melee combat looks like shitty Elder Scrolls M1 spam.
Humor is lame but world seems interesting enough, I'm a sucker for sci-fi though.

Some of the schadenfreude i'm feeling over Bethesda getting kicked in the balls repeatedly is probably spilling over in to this, seeing a stickied mod post on r/fallout asking people to stop making threads about this so close to the reveal just puts a smile on my face.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

They would have won the internet if that slide said "From the REAL creators of Fallout".

 

[Shackleton]

Honestly, looks pretty good to me, not sure why all the tears. We all liked New Vegas didn't we? With any luck this'll be in a similar vein except their own setting and systems. Were you all expecting Arcanum 2.0 or something?

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

 

[sser]

Obsidian going for that alley oop after Bethesda bricked it.

 

[Markman]

Noice.

 

[Curratum]

The only good thing about this trailer is the Iggy Pop towards the end.

Again, how do you manage to work on UE4 and make it look like Mars: War Logs?

Setting looks hella dull, nothing about this excites me in any way.

Also, bringing up "from the creators of X" in any way, shape or form makes me want to puke.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Obsidian, Obsidian never changes. They finally got the chance to make their dream AAA game and it's a cross between Fallout 4, Borderlands and No man's sky. What a banal, boring art style.

If The Outer Worlds turns out to be Fallout 4 or Borderlands with Choice & Consequences, half the Codex will love it.

 

[Curratum]

Sadly, it actually looks more boring and banal that even FO4, somehow.

 

[sullynathan]

Can Obsidian even make an FPS with good combat?

 

[Seethe]

Just look at the comments for the trailer. Man Obsidian planned this, and nailed it hard and well with Fallout 76's failure, it drew the attention of all the angry frothing gamers right now. Bethesda indirectly helped The Outer Worlds become popular. I absolutely love it.

 

[HoboForEternity]

like i said about 10 page ago. this is gonna ride the wave from fallout's disaster and took over.

it's repeat of DBZ fighter Z when capcom vs marvel infitine flopped

 

[Shaewaroz]

So Cain and Boyarsky are also in the sellout bandwagon now? That seems to be what's trendy right now.

 

[Curratum]

I really wish all those washed up all fogies would just quit gamedev and retire for good. So sick of shit being peddled under the guise of "industry veteran" projects. It's been like a fucking decade.

I hate Sawyer's systemic bullshit but this is even worse, tbh.

 

[jf8350143]

All it needs to be is Fallout NV 2.0, with better combat and less bugs.

 

[TheImplodingVoice]

So when is Chris Avellone starting his own studio and giving us real award winning RPGs again.
