Grounded - shrunken kids first-person co-op survival game from Obsidian

[Infinitron]

Ethics Gradient from the Obsidian forums did some snooping around and found out that Grounded is Project Maine: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/1...is-this-project/?tab=comments#comment-2183501

Maine.

That implies there are three other projects (Mississippi, Illinois, and Alabama) potentially under consideration.

Check it out. Grab a copy of the video loop from https://grounded.obsidian.net --->> https://d1079ywfijtdjs.cloudfront.net/images/grounded/videos/grounded-looping-video.mp4
Parse it for strings, and you'll find:

(Plus Josh Sawyer's game is Project Missouri)

He heard that WOW classes are still too unbalanced.

WOW and Diablo 4 Sawyer cut incoming.

Pillars of Eternity was apparently not a big enough project to get a state codename with ~20 employees working on it, but this game with 12 employees is?

I feel like this being in General RPG Discussion is maximum agenda.

The project naming thing is ultimately pretty arbitrary. We've never even heard of another Obsidian game that used a city instead of a state. Who knows what they were thinking at the time?

I guess you can say....




...it's grounded here.


What are the ground rules does Grounded rely on for being grounded here? More importantly: Did the Grounded use official Spacer's Choice landing pad? If not slap the Grounded with a fine I say, ekera.

Serious question, because I don't know why everybody are so angry about this.

It's more like whole Codex got slapped to the face.
Like if there was big TV screen in large room, and whole Codex gathered near it to witness their idol.
And then giant hand protruded from TV screen, and slapped us all at the face.

Why? Because we broke the rule "trust no one".
I see Codex reaction actually as confused.

So the developers are not allowed to try something slightly different once in a blue moon because players were not expecting that? What the difference between 'dex and some typical popamole site then?
Besides, I don't think that Obsidian is treated here as an "idol" - even if they would announce some kind of RPG, everybody would complain too, no matter what would that be. And if I'm wrong then this is a good lesson, because we shouldn't treat companies as our "idols". I used to believe in Bethesda back in the days and look where it got me.

 

[Quillon]

look where it got me.

Right fucking here! Don't you like it? You think you are better than us ha nigga?

They're allowed to do whatever they want, and I never said different.

We are simple ten thousand times better in everything.

[DeepOcean]

all people in the Grounded team are from PoEs

Guess those sales of PoE 2 really, really upset Feargus for him to do this to them.

The multiracial group of boys and girls is extremely appropriate given the era this game is nostalgic for.

All of this looked normal to me.

they all seem to be the same exact unknown mutt race though

I have no idea what the fuck is going on, but I'm subscribing for drama.

 

[Tehdagah]

It looks better than Outer Worlds for sure.

Great. Meanwhile, the like-dislike ratio on Youtube has not improved.

IGN's audience loving it tho, guess Xboxers are hardcore RPG fans

Okay, so, what, is this a game for kids? I'm not sure how well that well work since 6 year olds don't have money, but if it's not for us actual people, well, they can make what they want, right?
