Should have just gone ASCII

That's some Nu-Bioware level animations there.

What's more impressive on the facial animations front is that CDPR didn't even mocap their shit, it was an engine algorithm they developed.

unfortunately, the algorithm wasn't perfect and localization teams had to sped up voice recordings to properly sync the audio, which was pretty horrible.

Is that true? Pretty sure I remember reading or listening to a interview with a CDPR dev who said the algorithm matched up the character's lips to the words being spoken automatically, which was one of the reasons they developed it, needing only some post-algorithm manual adjustments.

so i googled it, and apparentely the issue was most prominent in russian localization (less noticeable in others).
CDP never fixed it, and never officially explained the reason behind it too.

The world looks empty, fucking consoles, my life is lonely enough

There are so many pigs tho, they shoulda spent some of the pig budget on populating towns.

From an announcement trailer that racked up millions of views to an E3 trailer with a measly ~200k. This game = marketing malpractice. And it's not just the Epic exclusivity. Why'd they disappear for two months? Why not continue pumping out small bits of news to keep the hype stoked, like Bloodlines 2 with its clan trailers? And that's a game that isn't out until next year. This is the behavior of a company that doesn't want to win.

Maybe nobody gives a fuck. Obsidian have a bright new future with Microsoft no matter what happens, Private Division have their Epic bribe, and Leonard Boyarsky's "dream game" ends up as a red-headed stepchild.

There's still time until October though so maybe they can surprise me by getting their shit together. But a random-ass trailer won't cut it.

It's E3. That Microsoft event was full of world premiere's and PC Gaming Show and Ubisoft's event continued that. No matter what you announce at E3 you kinda get drowned when so much is being shown at the same time.

That said, Private Division needs to step up their marketing before the launch.

Of 4m 29s Megan speaks 1m 20s. Gets a little nervous when the question about release platforms comes up. Dorito Pope, an experienced cock sucker, helps her circumvent mention of the exclusivity - *the* important thing to mention when discussing platforms - and they only say that it comes out on PC and mention the Windows store. Beautiful.

Dorito Pope can make an even short interview cringy. He was like a parrot who was taught what things to say about the game.

There was some news that TOW's lead programmer pulled from the team to work on their MS project. Is Obs pulling the same shit that MCA said they had with pulling resources from Tyranny to PoE? Could explain the inconsistent jankiness of TOW atm.

With Microsoft paying the bills, I don't think they have to worry about padding/stretching the budget like they did with Tyranny and PoE.
They shift people from project to the next, all the time based on where they are needed.

The cynical reality is that this kind of misleading the audience by omission is what probably gets him commendation.

Outer worlds: solipsism simulator

 

[fantadomat]

Why is the codex filled with so many graphic whores???

All that is important is the gameplay and the rpg elements. Tho i still think that they will fuck it up.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Aren't you a storyfag though?

Hahahaha i am,but i could also enjoy a dumb games from time to time. It is an Obsidian game after all,this days you can't expect a good writing from them,i am well aware of it.

 

[Kem0sabe]

This looks like shit...

• UI is absolutely horrible, those fucking huge crosshairs and garish colors
• That fucking dialogue... yet again they show very few dialogue choices, is that the best they can do to exemplify a deep obsidian "rpg" during a major trade show?
• The graphics manage to look a downgrade to the initial presentation, these are last gen graphics to go along with last gen gameplay

 

[Zer0wing]

Because animations are very expensive, and CDPR have the dough, unlike the others?

Whcih animations, facial? I don't think Obsidian are as poor and unskilled as Troika during VTMB1 development. Doesn't UE4 have a facial animation generetation tool too?

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Aren't you a storyfag though?

And storyfag is not graphic fag

I couldn't careless about Outer World graphics. And people complaining about color is why Fallout 3 and NV have green piss and orange piss filter respectively.

Bring em color to my games, fuck grainy grey shits.

 

[JarlFrank]

This is the first of all the Outer Worlds trailers/gameplay vids I watched, and one thing I noticed is how extremely sluggish the movement and aiming feels.

Is this just a console thing because controllers are utter dogshit? The controls look extremely awkward and unresponsive in that video.

 

[Infinitron]

Yeah that's how FPS gameplay with a gamepad looks like. You can tell because he never shifts his view vertically unless he absolutely has to.

 

[Quillon]

he never shifts his view vertically

Climbing ladders looking straight ahead...

 

[RaptorRex888]

I never understood how peasants are able to play FPS games on controllers.

 

[AwesomeButton]

First impression from the outdoors area - this looks like Unreal Tournament. First impressions from the indoor area - they've managed to use U4 tech and end up with Gamebryo visuals. Oh well, I've played through New Vegas, so I won't complain.

 

[Garbage]

Why did they make Ellie look like a man? I can't jerk off to this...

 

[Xeon]

One of the streamers said they tend to use controllers in showcases because it allows for smoother turning to make better videos. PC you can turn a lot faster. This was during Doom Eternal gameplay part.

This game is going to be on Xbox Game Pass the moment it launches. And you can get access to XGP with only 1 dollar for a whole month(every month after that cost 5 dollars).

You don't need a Xbox to use it since Microsoft just launched the PC version of XGP.

There is literally no reason to buy this game now, just buy the XGP and you are good to go. You also get more than 100 games along with it including Tyranny. Surprisingly both PoE games(or any other Obisidan games) was not on the list yet.
