I almost certain that i'm not gonna buy this game because the only Survival game that i played was minecraft back in 2014.. but hey .. Let's how turns out.. Hopefully is just a side project with the smaller team.

But will we be able to play as a pacifist?

Now I can perfectly understand why Sawyer started drinking heavily.

JUST TAKE YOUR BIKE AND RIDE HOME TO THE MIDWEST SAWYER! YOU CAN STILL ESCAPE!

Dude, just play Dwarf Fortress. It’s still being worked on.

Wait, so is this the non-violent game Sawyer referred to? Those axes and bows don't seem very non-violent.

Non-violent game is his own project or that's how I understood it. Josh isn't working on this.

(Realtalk though, this is exactly how people reacted when Armored Warfare was announced in 2014 and it's no more indicative of Obsidian's future than that game was. The future of Obsidian is, obviously, The Outer Worlds.)

 

[Orma]

I'll probably still play it

They made Armored Warfare because they were desperate for cash. This is being made with their Microsoft bux.

I saw the new update and maybe i might play now thats getting a UI update.

Obisidan, if Microsoft are forcing you to make this then blink twice. If not then blink once.

If you blink once then here's some helpful advice: Shooting yourself in the head with a shotgun is rated as the quickest and most reliable method of suicide with a success rate of roughly 98%. Hanging yourself, which is what you are doing, only has a 30-40% success rate and is much slower and agonizing.

But it began before Microsoft acquired them. Similar to inXile's weird Frostpoint VR game. Seems Microsoft's policy is to let the studios it acquires finish their weird side projects as best as they can.

I’m really happy I turned in my fan card a week or two ago. Otherwise I might have been upset.

I’m happy I made those fortnite av’s a week or two ago

You could tell they expected a hostile reaction with how Sawyer took time to explain this game was in development before they joined Microsoft.

 

[Prime Junta]

That’s it then. Only G Ziets can save the all-American classic arr pee gee now.

Considering that Microsoft is the publisher of this game (right?) then that means this game was entirely Obsidian's idea. The publisher My.com is the one that came up with Armored Warfare's concept.

According to this article the team is actually really small. Just 12 people working on the project. So it's not like that they throwing lots of resources at this.
