people who play 30 year old games suddenly becoming graphics whores

Fuck off newfag, it's not about graphical fidelity, it's about graphical style and aesthetics. Pathfinder: Kingmaker doesn't have the greatest graphics technically, but the graphical style and aesthetics are pretty damn good for what they're suppose to be, it looks colorful without looking cartoony or gaudy. I'd like The Outer Worlds' look much more if they'd made it look like those old technicolor films with rich, vibrant and strong colors, without looking like HDR'd gaudy eye cancer.

Cyberpunk made this look like absolute ass. Cellulite ass.

There was no gameplay for Cyberpunk at this presentation. Only shots stolen straight from Battle Angel Alita. And also Keanu Reeves, for some reason.

Cyberpunk 2077 probably has ten times the budget. And you guys are surprised this game's graphic is not as good as that game?

Butthurt newfags suddenly posting retarded shit.

Oh wait, that's not sudden at all.

They changed the Doctor character a bit to look less like Rick from Rick and Morty, lol.

 

[Sentinel]

this game looks as shit as when it was first unveiled

It's way fierce how much he's improved!

The Gay Worlds: Honk Honk.

I'll never buy this shit.

 

[hexer]

Kinda worried none of the E3 trailers got me hyped. Let's hope Vampire 2 delivers!

 

[DalekFlay]

It looks far from ugly, and gameplay matters most anyway. If this has the writing and quest design of New Vegas I'll be thrilled with it. We shall see.

 

[turkishronin]

Hey it may look bad but at least it'll demand enough resources due to unoptimized coding that you might thing your graphic card is processing something cool

>game plot is "dude corporations are bad and will control everything!"
>meanwhile it will release in the store from the most soulless corporation ever

Holy shit, I felt actual physical fucking pain after having read that. Why the hell didn't you spoil that crap?

I'm still in denial that a Boyarsky game has art direction this bad.

Eh, there's a very real backlash out there against the "50 shades of brown" aesthetic so many Codexers fell in love with when they were 12. And there are still plenty of games that look like that. Other people have been 12 since then, a different look won't kill you.

It doesn't look ugly in the bullshot trailer, but the game had a lot of technical issues from what we saw at PAX and this trailer didn't reassure me for some reason... hope they have enough time to fix/polish it.

Why would you hold up this false dichotomy? The "50 shades of Tumblr" aesthetic of The Outer Worlds is just as bad as the other extreme of everything being brown and grey. The last game Boyarsky directed prior to this was Bloodlines, and that game managed to be colorful and vibrant (especially considering the setting) without looking like an eyesore.

Terrible trailer.

"Someone who can be a villain or a hero ... or a psychopath." ... or a terrible writer !?

That's an oxymoron. All corporations are soulless.

Heeeeeeeeere's Megan!

That's an oxymoron. All corporations are soulless.

but my favorite corporation™ really cares for me and I willing to thank them with all of my money

Terrible trailer.

It's not like that is actually writing from the game, just voice over in the trailer. Besides, the scene was:

Someone who can be a villain
*stabs random villager*
a hero
*performs first aid on some guy*
or a psychopath
*shoots the guy who they just treated*

That's fine and it served the purpose of showing the people who care that you can attack whoever you want. The writing might be bad, but this isn't really an example of it.

 

[Alexios]

The real question is: Which was the more cringeworthy trailer: this or Cyberpunk?

Edit: Just watched the Wasteland 3 trailer, have to add that to the running.

Dude it's Obsidian, if it doesn't have technical issues then I rule over potato land with a crown of diamonds.
