Game News Obsidian teasing game reveal at The Game Awards

Do you fuck her underneath that poster?

 

[KevinV12000]

If this is Arcanum in Space I'm going to shit my pants in excitement.

The only thing I'd like from Obsidian that would make me more happy than something like that would be Alpha Protocol 2.

(Yes, yes, yes, I'm that one guy who LOVED it).

 

[Trans-Financial-Man]

Do you fuck her underneath that poster?

No, I'm not a fucking animal. There was a plant beneth the poster. You don't do anal on top of a plant like a fucking savage. You do it pushed up against the case of shitty VHS recordings of Star Trek and Babylon 5 re-runs. Really spices up the love life when she sees you like the same obscure autism as she does.

 

[Jedi Exile]

I love the art. And considering this is Tim' and Leon's game, I'll give it the benefit of doubt.

 

[Invictus]

I am getting a real Jules Verne vibe from all of this; in his Voyage to the Moon book it had all this cool steampunkish vibe of 19th Century English gentlemen traveling to space
So imagine a FPS set in space with steampunk vibe, maybe all those weird pseudoscience theories from the Verne books were true in that setting so humanity did go to the stars with steam and gunpowder based technology...
Looks very interesting indeed I think that it could prove to be actually great
I hope we get one last flawed gem from Cain and Boyarsky in the same way that Arcanum, Bloodlines and Toee were great

It sure would be cool.
And it wouldn't be the first time, too.

 

[Nalenth]

I will remain cautiously optimistic.

 

[Kev Inkline]

Looks like some Space 1889 thing incoming.

The arabesques from Autie Cleo's are typical of Mucha. So I hope for a early 1900's/ fin de siècle vibes. But for the moment, the design is not from Europe but more from U.S.

(Yeah, the guy design some soap box).

Cel shading waifus even before it was a thing!

Definitely getting Martian Dreams vibes here, but there is a difference. Martian Dreams literally took place in the late 19th century. Judging by the modern/futuristic-looking firearm in the art, this game is set in a 19th/early 20th century-themed retro-future, like what Fallout does with the 1950s.

 

[Safav Hamon]

It's obviously late 19th century aesthetic

19th

 

[Roguey]

If anything I always found vaguely perplexing that the whole "With crowdfunding we are now independent from publishers and can have complete creative freedom"

They never said anything like this.

 

[taomcio]

Oh shit, considering Take Two owns Bioshock IP, I hope its not going to be Infinite 2

But the vibe is really similar.

 

[soulburner]

As long as this runs on my toaster with integrated Intel 4000 graphics, I'm interested :D

But seriously - I'm kind of optimistic and maybe excited even.

 

[Bohr]

Just a teaser, but feeling a surge of optimism about this for some reason, really like what they're hinting at for a setting

Truth be told the Arcanum poster in my living room led to me meeting my wife. We both loved RPGs and Arcanum in particular. It does happen.

Yep, I've had to stop hosting parties at the display space - women just can't help themselves and it invariably ends up with grubby fingerprints all over the best pieces

[Makabb]

Bethesda is making a space game and now Obsidian? what the.....

 

[Thonius]

New fad like battle royale, moba's, card "games" etc

 

[J_C]

New fad like moba's, card "games" etc

No complain about more sci-fi instead of fantasy here.

 

[Safav Hamon]

Imagine Bethesda getting their asses handed to them by Obsidian twice.

 

[Iskramor]

Did I just see bush in an 80s music video?

Bush is fucking awesome.

 

[Iskramor]

Bethesda and their starfield project on fucking life support lol.......

 

[Viata]

By the time VD release his game, everyone is going to say "just another sci-fi rpg".

 

[Makabb]

Fallout in space in retro future?

 

[Outlander]

How can Bethesdas Starfield ever compete with this?

Bethesda knocked out Fallout with F4 and while still down, gave it a coup de grâce with F76. How appropiate that this game comes out in these times, I'm happy for Tim and Leonard.

Also,

I hope this Cainyarsky project is isometric so it would be a perfect send off to their independent legacy.

I hope it's first person view using the Unreal engine, because they showed with Bloodlines that they really can pull this off...

Dude, are you also going to spend 15 years patching this game?

 

[Ravn7]

Dude, are you also going to spend 15 years patching this game?

Better than patching F76 - For eternity.

(they really freaking sad that)
