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

Fucking hell, the views on YouTube have almost doubled in 2 hours. By the end of the day it's definitely gonna be their most popular video on the channel. \

You gotta wonder if Feargus regrets selling before the announcement

Yeah:

While I'm excited (not in that sense) to see Tim & Leonard double-penetrate Todd with the release of this game, which let's admit, will be the inevitable result, I cannot help but regret that they couldn't release this game before being bought out by Microsoft.

I like the facial expressions and lip synch. Somehow some games still do it terribly, when even Bloodlines managed quite well years back.

There are only 2 games in existence that manage good facial animations, Bloodlines and LA Noire.

Outer Worlds look however a level lower than those two in this aspect.

half life 2? vampires was based on source engine too.

still depend on the arrangement of their profit sharing with private division. if the profit sharing is fair, they could become CDprojekt sized if TOW is a massive success it is shaping up to be

So, now that we know that the game is first-person and single-player, here's the next important question.

Did Obsidian implement Gamebryo-style physics in the Unreal engine, where you can pick up and move around anything, like in Bethesda RPGs? My bet is that they didn't, but I'd love to be surprised.

In Fallout 1, 2 we didn't need them, there will be stats, there will be pickable items, you don't need to pick up every coffe mug and throw it into the air.

We live in a world where Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarski announce a new game with funding from major publishers and our first reaction is suspicion and skeptisism. Imagine if this same announcement happened in 2010? Or 2005? What gumpy fucks have we become?

It's correct reaction. Remember they are here to get into your pockets, preferably with preorder and season passes. For all we know old names is just a marketing move. Don't be a tool and NPC.

It's ridiculously easy to implement.
It's more of a gimmick than a game feature

Take-Two allowed them to keep the IP, so I doubt Obsidian would get significant royalties.

A world where Fallout 76 exists.
A world where Star Citizen exists.
A world where Ultima Ascendant exists.
A world where the gaming industry is filled with fucking autistic retards, who are proud to be autistic retards.
A world where the gaming companies are treating customers like shit, and the gaming journalist blames the latter.
A world where people are happy to keep funding kickstarted scams, despite the red flags.

So yeah, I have every reason in the world to be skeptical. I hope Obsidian release a good cRPG, I do not hold any grudges against Obsidian, but I won't preorder it or first-day buy it. We do not know what exactly is going on behind the doors.

Most likely not,the engine looks very solid and fixed. I don't know if it is even possible in unreal engine.

That will be quite the butthurt. I could see this game becoming a franchise if they don't deliver a total pile of shit. I am curious if they will hold the right to it or it goes to the publisher.

 

[HoboForEternity]

So yeah, unless obsidian/feargus botched it somehow (with broken release, etc) this seems to be a million hit already.

That and if they can keep the hype on until release whenever it is. The momentum is pure luck, they caught wave, now they will really have to be able to surf smoothly, then nail the landing.

Would be sad if they botched and fizzle the momentum. It is pretty interesting from business perspective alone.

But you already said it will be shit.

It's ridiculously easy to implement.

and hard to optimize

Yes, it's trivial to implement it inside Unreal engine.

Anyway more importantly what do the female characters look like nude ?
Can we rape ?
Are their children in the game and can we kill them ?
Can we kill everyone ?
Basically can I be a complete bastard ?
Still prefer it if the game characters looked and dressed like this.

Spoiler

I may need to get out more :D.

Why are people already asking for preorders?!
Are digital copies limited in numbers or something?

There was no fanny or boobs showing who dared put that spoiler marker in.

Well, preview embargo will be lifted under 3 hours. Let's keep warming up the speculation machine.

I hope they show: Ghouls, a leather jacket, a man with a SMG shooting at your back, and a dog.

 

[Maculo]

I had hoped the landscape would look more alien. The example that comes to mind is Morrowind with the mushroom forests, silt riders, and the shell-cities/homes. Granted, Arcanum looked familiar, but Tim/Leonard managed to put a unique spin on it.

I am anxious to hear about the RPG system and mechanics. Every new AAA game seems to have less and less to it.
