The Outer Worlds (Obsidian)

I hope there's a collectors edition with a canvas bag.

nah they need to do one with a polyester bag then ship a canvas one because of all the polyester running out

Looks like a day 1 purchase for me so far.

Though I hope you can run! Console version seems so slow.

Just leaving this here before the hype train gets up to speed:

It is no secret that I think Fallout New Vegas is the best RPG ever made(by a long way), so this is right at the top of my list of most wanted games.

I like everything I see about it except for one thing- I hope they do something with the companions who seem pretty bland from what I have seen...In fact you could say that about the characters in general

 

[Amatsubu]

Colour me interested

Found some interesting reading about the developers and the game.

The creators of The Outer Worlds on learning to make better RPGs

The Outer Worlds: Release date, gameplay, and everything we know

Don't Expect The Outer Worlds To Be As Gigantic As Fallout: New Vegas

Leaving it here incase someone want to have a read while letting your Christmas food digest !

And this quote:

To compare it to a past Obsidian game, the developer told Kotaku that "a good bit of context for the approach is to think of what we did in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, with potentially more ground to cover and explore in each area."

Here is a bit of gameplay from the game.

Really ******* irks me when they try to showcase a FPS game but then have some Muppets using a controller rather than keyboard and mouse. Movement and looking around just doesn't look right on a controller.

Seems most games now are developed and showcased on consoles, it's not a PC first game.
I've had similar feelings about what's been shown so far of Anthem, the view system looks **** on a controller!

i also think another reason is the media experts now seem to only play on consoles to begin with and have the skills of a house plant, just look at some of ign's play throughs the past year.

Games are always showcased on PC with a controller, even console exclusives. Developers need to showcase their games at their best. The analog smooth movement of a controller makes for a better spectacle than the nausea inducing mouse movement. Ever tried to spectate a pro?

New, Exclusive Impressions Of The Outer Worlds

In this excerpt from The Game Informer Show, Ben Hanson, Joe Juba, and Matt Miller share new details on Obsidian's upcoming RPG The Outer Worlds based on Game Informer's new cover story.

 

[TheSwede]

Seems both Steam and Amazon very briefly had the release date up for the game as the 6th of August. It has been removed though but quiet a few picked up on it. Was even mentioned on CohhCarnage's twitch channel yesterday.

The Outer Worlds release date may have been leaked by Amazon

The Outer Worlds release date appears then disappears on Steam

Might be tempted to take out some holidays around that time now.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Oh ffs. Looks like it's going to be exclusive to Epic Games Store.

 

[AWPC]

Epic and Microsofts Windows Store as MS own the developer now!

[Old Man]

Not good, but if it's good then going for it anyway.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Not an issue for me, it looks like it could be a great game, I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face and miss out on a great game because I dont want another launcher on my pc.

That's how the Chinese spyware gets you!

I dont have anything worth spying on so they're welcome to spy all they want

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

Meh. I'll wait a year. Got enough of a backlog to get through anyway.

Epic's business practices are *****, not buying into that.

 

[Boycey0211]

Aye, not going to bother now. Exclusives are BS and I'll just save my cash instead.

no cutting nose off involved, got plenty else to play without coughing up £50 for an 'exclusive'
