Disappointed by graphics, "Obsidian managed to make unreal 4 look like Bethesda game from 2007"

I don't care much for graphics much but the game does look ugly as fuck AND outdated.

 

[Duraframe300]

The games trailer has now surpassed 4 Million views on youtube and brought around 25'000 additional subscribers to Obsidian's youtube channel.

Don't share the concerns over injecting a bit of humor in the game. People treat it like it's a formula, or an aquired taste - like anchovies on pizza, or or mixing up a shade of paint. Cainarsky have a proven record; they're talented, funny guys. Even if they spent the whole game (which I'm sure they won't) making fun of everything I stand for - I know it'll be fucking funny. Because that's the generation of developer they are and they want you to enjoy their game.
My biggest concerns are what restrictions from Obsidian may be in place preventing that.

Good, that means it can run on my potato PC

It was goofy but not out of the whack crazy goofy. Worked alright for universe. There were a lot of allusions and reference from movies. Worst offenders - doctor who booth and whale, and maybe dinosaur foot-mark.

The whale's from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". I agree, that good old goofiness was way more classier than "keep beeing you" shit. I'd myself rather shoot the annoying dyke with glued hair. You have to choose now, my ass.

Folks still fail to realize this is a medium budget production like with games by Spiders. Anyone expecting AAA graphics needs a reality check.

You mean Spiderweb? It would be great if Cain and Boyarski, as Jeff Vogel, wrote themselves all narrative shit in The Outer Worlds because of low budget. Hiring girls with different mentality than "original Fallout" fanbase to write for "Tim and Leo" 's game is no good.

No, Spiders: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=Spiders

It's probably a bit more high budget than that though.

Maybe they are funny guys, but they are not writing for this game. A team of not funny gals are.

Guess the trailer mislead many to think its gonna be like OWB's beginning, whole game. It becomes clear that it won't be like that from the gameplay vid.

Diet toothpaste, dumb dialogue

So? One works either you find it funny or not, it isn't presented in the way to make anyone laugh exactly and the other is opt-in & prolly tied to low-int if it ain't playing dumb

It won't be a game with every piece of writing blatantly written for comedic purposes like borderlands, one might think that it will be so after watching only the trailer.

Low budget doesnt mean low effort. Look at how beautiful Ashen looks with a smaller budget and a more expansive world.

People associate graphics criticism to wanting more polygons or prettier textures, when its not really that. People appreciate art direction and visual innovation as much as anything else graphics wise.

It's unreal 4 there's no reason for it to look shit,this is just poor design especially on the female and creature (so far seen) character models.

 

[FreeKaner]

It will be boomers trying to be young humour, dumb dialogue is dumb.

 

[Oracsbox]

Is this male or female ?

Spoiler

Same goes for this

Spoiler

 

[Egosphere]

A narrative lead who doesn't know where the dumb options come from; Leonard saying it won't be as good as call of dooty; those writing excerpts.

That is truly horrific

Which is why I said I was concerned about the restictions from Obsidian. I'll be waiting for a monocled review before I buy. I've said before that I haven't really got much hope for anything coming out of America or Canada as far as humor or artistic expression goes. Best chance we've got now is Poland, Czech, Russia, etc.

Tim Cain, too much chromatic aberration. At least add an option to turn it off.

Anglin is a big fan of Arcanum ?
Actually, it makes perfect sense

He is color blind you know :D

To direct great RPGs one would need to be color blind first, guess who else is color blind!

He wants to play all the Codex' darlings on Twitch for money. He'd fit right in here.
