Game News Obsidian's new game is The Outer Worlds, a first-person sci-fi RPG set on a corporate space colony

[Prime Junta]

This is a Cainarsky game.

IKR. That's why I feel PTSDed already. Boyarsky was pretty much my last bastion of hope.

If a teaser video is enough to give you PTSD, you do need professional help. What exactly were you expecting?

 

[Van-d-all]

I think some people have just seriously overdosed on Joss Whedon-style antics.

Me, I've watched three space movies that are like that. Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2, Thor Ragnarok. And like, I don't know, three isn't a big number. I can take a bit more of that. I'm not tired of it yet. That's just me though.

MCU is the exact major cancer of modern (pop) culture, with the astronomical budgets to shove it down everyone's throat...

 

[Mr. Hiver]

My main questions about the game:

• Will player controlled space flight be a thing or will the player ship be more akin to KOTOR, to travel from location to location with a mini-game associated with it at most?
• Will the map encompass the entire star system or just the main planet with a few off world locations?
• Will it be open world or be a series of maps, and how big will they/it be?
• How large will be the player party? one or two companions as the 3D fallouts?
• What type of character stats and skill system are they using, will the shooting be real time skill based or stat derived?
• Randomized loot or handcrafted?
• Extensive weapon customization?
• Will it be level scaled?

Those are some really fucking stupid questions, fam. None of them have any bearing on whether it'll be shit or not.

Whats actually stupid is thinking he asked those to figure out whether it will be shit or not, and then strawmaning it in as if he said anything about it, dipshit.

As for the questions, seeing what type of the game it is Kemosabe i think its pretty certain all of those can be answered with worse versions of the answers.



>will the shooting be real time skill based or stat derived?

Its a fucking first person shooter.
Any stats will only have a secondary or tertiary influence, if at all, which is always shit in execution.

I wish it was a cool story Trash, i wish. Alas.

Comedy is very hard to translate into game form, especially an rpg without a fixed character and with dialogue choices. No game has managed it, and i very much doubt this will.

You need a funny personality to the main character in order to have a funny game. Guardians had Quill, Thor had... Thor, Firefly had Reynolds, larger than life leading men from which the other characters and situations could play off of. If your character is a blank slate, then it will have the personality of a blank slate and the humor of a rock, as those idiots at Larian have strived to show us more than once

I think the trailer was zany because it was for Game Awards. You can't expect something good from that shitshow.

Okay I guess. I haven't seen any of them, I rarely watch American movies these days, they're just too stupid for my blood. (And the only superhero movie I've seen is Batman from 1989. I didn't like it.)

It's an exaggeration obviously, but I'm a rather aesthetically oriented person, and for that exact reason of all the major developers I held Boyarsky in a very high regard. I hoped for a true gem, although expected a lot less, but at least something on the level of Prey. What I got, is an utterly unoriginal mashup of things already overused targeted for dopamine deficient retards with attention spans of golden fish, that need to be jolted with explosions, gags and flashy bright colors every 5 minutes.

Which games have you even played? Fallout 1, 2, and NV all had major comedic elements. South Park: Stick of Truth was all comedy. VtM: Bloodlines was almost all comedy. Even BG2 had Minsc FFS!

Well as long as you don't watch just movies for children but also some adult fare, right?

....

Right?

It was very enlightening for me as a gamer to watch Guardians of the Galaxy. It's a movie that explains a lot of gaming trends of the past few years. Really brought back colorful/wacky sci-fi in a way that Star Wars failed to. I think you don't see things like eg, the resurrection of Beyond Good & Evil 2 without it.

I always loved the voice acting and facial expressions in Bloodlines. It turned quite a few chuckle-worthy lines into full blown laugh out loud moments.

I'd rather go for Watchmen, it proved super hero movies needn't suck, but whatever.

I guess we'll see if Cainarsky

Anyone using this Cainarsky shit should be put to sleep.




This game should be entitled " Tim Cain's No Mans Sky"

Having comedic elements is one thing, having that comedy actually be funny is another completely different thing. All of those game have low effort comedy... also Minsc as an example?

Dude, if VtM:B counts as low-effort comedy for you, then you don't know what comedy is.

[FeelTheRads]

also, not grimdark is at this point

Grimdark? In these days and age? Where? has Stalker 2 been released?

I don't really get the whining about grimdark either. The rainbow-colored, low-poly, WOW/mobile shit seems way more prevalent and obnoxious.
And honestly this is kinda like a higher-poly version of that style.

But just like all communists, Prime Junta is way behind. You could even call him retarded.

 

[Lacrymas]

...I see the stars come out tonight, I see the bright and hollow sky, over the city's ripped-back sky and everything looks good tonight...

Looks like budget nu-Fallout, pass.

I will not lie, I'm not very optimistic about the Obsidian games after POE2, despite the relatively positive reception of it from Codex, but... A new 'New Vegas' would be interesting. The trailer gives me a light touch of hope, but not that much.

 

[ciox]

I'm still a little curious about the rpg design but it looks exactly like I said it would, some insanely predictable mashup of Fallout 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn. And some guy just rated me edgy now for calling it a year ago.

WE'RE IN A BRAND NEW GAME, MORTY! THIS IS CRAZY, WE DON'T HAVE TO USE GAMEBRYO ANYMORE, MORTY, BUT EVERYTHING STILL LOOKS AND PLAYS THE SAME ANYWAY! I TURNED MYSELF INTO A PIIIIIIIIIIIIICKLE.

I don't think the status of dumpsterfire has any bearing on this game whatsoever. PoE is them trying to do IE and not understanding what made IE games good, with Sawyer's autistic system design just making it boring to play as well. Even then, Tyranny was ok.

This project depends on Tim Cain and Boyarsky, and if they still have their game.

 

[Ruzen]

Trailers can be misleading i expect much slower game

 

[himmy]

RPGCodex: PoE was so bland and generic, we just want something with a bit of personality.

Also RPGCodex: Whoa, there, buddy-boy, I sure hope this game isn't going to have too much of a personality, like jokes or more than four colours.
