Game News Obsidian teasing game reveal at The Game Awards

It's obviously late 19th century aesthetic

19th

Art Nouveau

It's probably their Fallout 4 that should sell lots, imo

Probably.
Likely an attempt to mine the New Vegas fanbase who've been consistently neglected by Bethesda.

And I'd be fine with that. I don't think NV is the "bestestest gaym of everytyme", but there's potential in the formula for something interesting.

 

[Jaesun]

Kind of getting a (original) Buck Rodgers feeling. And I am kinda thinking this will be Arcanum in space! Except completely avoiding any of the IP of Arcanum, of which Activision owns. Tim and the rest can easily pull that off, and mix it up a bit.

Not too terribly excited about it being an action game, but will wait for more info.

 

[Wesp5]

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?

I really hope not! With MS backing them they should be able to do this themselves using the actual source code and real tools too !
BTW, does anyone know if Brian Mitsoda is involved? Because he wrote great stuff and characters in Bloodlines!

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

But the vibe is really similar.

I am playing infinity for the first time now. Awful game, I’m dying to finish it and move on.

If it's an action game with dumbed-down stats in the same sense that Bloodlines is an action game with dumbed-down stats…

But yeah, no point in speculating as yet.

Are you kidding ? It's the best moment in game life. After the first picture from the game, half of codexers shoud quit the hype train and it'll get worse until the release.

FALLOUT

IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

 

[Egosphere]

Arcanum: Journey to the centre of the Universe

 

[taxalot]

We are all going to be disappointed when it comes out, and that is besides the point because it will be complete when all the DLCs are out in 5 years.

 

[Gay-Lussac]

True, the general public is turning on Bethesda hard right now, Obsidian might have a chance at scoring a SLAM DUNK TM here.

 

[Farewell into the night]

When this is comming out? I don't like Obsidian, but Boyarsky and Cain are my heroes and I support them.

 

[Tigranes]

As others have said, this isn't quite Belle Epoque, but more Americanised late 19c / early 20c. I dearly dearly wish someone would go all out into Belle Epoque / Mucha / etc, but this probably isn't it.

If only we had The Obscure Cities + le vol du corbeau...

 

[abnaxus]

Who cares.

Not to be that guy

Always thought you were of the womyn variety.

Or is that what "not to be that guy" means?

 

[Makabb]

The game is called 'The Outer Worlds' and is 3rd person space RPG

 

[SlumLord]

So much faggotry in this thread. Figures you bum-burglars would support Tim's rampant and incurable homosexuality.

Spoiler

Plz no bully, I deal with disappointment by lashing out at others.

 

[Delterius]

THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE AMAZING

I don't think NV is the "bestestest gaym of everytyme"

NV is actually a terrible game, if you're gonna judge it by gameplay metrics. It runs like an arthritic sloth, and the gunplay is abysmal. But storyfaggotry and LARPing as Van Buren saves it.

I'm just hoping this new project won't discard character builds in favor of action. The UI might be a clusterfuck as well. No idea why they're trying to reinvent the wheel with it.
