"we are going to grab the players guts and remind him of this"


I knew it. I KNEW IT!!! They did grab gamers by the pussy back then. I fucking knew it. That's how it got to be loved. Holy fuck. My ranting about how gamers want to be treated was 100% pinpoint accurate.
No wonder shoutbox didn't argue with what I said. Let this be a lesson. If you're going to let a game influence anything you do, make sure you read their vision doc for real.

man this vision statement really needs that early 90's ID software Grunge graphic with a photo of John Romero flipping off the reader

Was watching a stream of E3 in the background and tuned in when I heard the parody trailer.
When the game's name appeared I said "Really? Why?" out loud at the exact same time as the person streaming.

Who actually asked for this?

Kind of curious to see more but that trailer was a huge load of nothing. Glad they’re going to a new system and with a new crew though.

Interesting that Obsidian seems to adopt the practice of announcing games really early. First Avowed, not this. It's not even clear which game is coming first (although right now I'd guess TOW2).

New star system. New crew. Same Outer Worlds.


Well I like the trailer. I liked The Outer Worlds as well, but not so much to get its DLCs to play. However this trailer is amusing and the sarcasm is endearing. Considering a lot of bad and mediocre stuff in TOW, if they've learned anything in the meantime, the sequel should be better.

Grab the Codex by the pussy Pathfinder: Wrath
I wish the trailer included one more meta comment about how sequels to ostensibly well-received but otherwise lukewarm games sell extremely badly despite all pre-release research to the contrary...

Why? Isn't most of the studio assigned to Awoved and they're just starting TOW2?

By Obsidian, you mean Microsoft. Like Obsidian has any say on when their games get announced.

TOW2 was in pre-production a year ago. So, no. They did not just start on the game, but it hasn't been in production/full-production for long as they had to wait for the DLCs to be finished.
