The Outer Worlds Pre-Release Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[toro]

This is the first time I've watched a trailer on utube at 50% speed.

Some remarks before senility hits and I forget everything:
- The visual style is a departure from Fallout's aesthetics and I honestly don't know how to feel about it. Maybe it's matching the setting. Idk. I don't love it and I don't hate it. It does have a certain Cowboy Beebop vibe.
- The spaceships look absolutely stunning, the worlds seems interesting but the animals are WOW tier garbage. I hope the game will allow some mods because those animals need better textures and models. Pronto.
- There are glitches in the movement of the NPCs which at this point is a trademark for an Obsidian game.
- Certain frames (like the shooting guy) look straight out of F3: NV and the ones with the turrets look like Bioshock.
- Besides the animals, the most infuriating thing were the damage numbers. They are retarded as Borderland was. I hope there is an option to disable them.
- The trailer is not so bad but the editor should be fired. It's bad editing and stupid pauses are not fun. The song is nice though.

Things revealed outside of the trailer: Single Player (no coop, no multiplayer), Unreal Engine 4 (optimized for FPS games), Skills and Perks, Dialogue Trees, Companions and a possibly a Karma system.

There is no doubt that the game will sell like hot cakes. I don't know if it's Divine retribution or not but the game was announced at the right time. Cause right now there are many people disillusioned with F76 and this announcement was simply genius. Look on utube or twitch. People are raving about it. It's ironic and sad and many other things but this game will be a financial success (100%).

However in the end if this game will be great or not really depends on the quality of the narrative. I wanted a turn-based isometric Fallout/Arcanum in space but that will not going to happen therefore I'll take it.

It could be worse. Much worse than this.

Looks like borderlands which i didn't think looked that good. Also, the comedy seems like pushed Marvel comedy which can be all right but from what I saw didn't look that funny. But I believe in Cain and Boyarsky.

The trailer was okay-ish at best, but announcement by pure accident landed at a perfect time of peak frustration at Bethesda by casual gamers. Watching even retarded YouTube commenters mock Todd Howard and celebrate proper dialogue trees is the most joyful moment I've had since dentist prescribed me with opiates after wisdom tooth extraction.

They seem to be going after the Borderlands crowd by the looks of it

 

[HoboForEternity]

"try to not break it"

hopefully you can do ridiculous shit like in arcanum/fallout 1

 

[Cyberarmy]

Colour me fabulously optimistic because I'm a sucker for science-fiction. But "humour" is putting me off.

 

[toro]

They seem to be going after the Borderlands crowd by the looks of it

Or Fallout 4
Or Bioshock
Or No Man's Sky
Or Mass Effect
Or Beyond Good and Evil 2

Jesus Christ. This is insane

 

[Goral]

Isn't that girl with lesbian haircut voiced by the same actor that dubbed Tandi?

Compare:





That "fine I guess" has been taken straight out of Fallout.

The only thing I took from this was:

HOLY SHIT BETHESDA ISN'T MAKE THIS SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ON GAMEBRYO

Jesus Christ. This is insane

None of those you quoted were any good

Or Fallout 4(Shit)
Or Bioshock(Shit, Except Bioshock 1. That was decent)
Or No Man's Sky(Very shit)
Or Mass Effect(Shit. Except for Mass Effect 1)
Or Beyond Good and Evil 2(Will be Woke Ubisoft shit)

So what you're saying is that Obsidian is going after the crowd that enjoys shit games?

Too bad they managed to get UE4 to look like Gamebryo, though.

 

[Skdursh]

This thread proving the age-old idiom: "if it exists the codex will shit on it and call it retarded".

 

[sullynathan]

you know someone is retarded or a storyfag if they think mass effect was shit except the first game

 

[SpaceWizardz]

you know someone is retarded or a storyfag if they think mass effect was shit except the first game

Call me a retarded storyfag then.
Enjoy your gears of war clones loserboy.

 

[Cross]

It looks like they tried to go for a more stylized aesthetic, but Obsidian's artists weren't up to the task. There's something a bit Uncanny Valley looking about those character models combined with that color palette.

 

[Forest Dweller]

3k+ likes and 16 dislikes on Youtube so far - seems the general public approves?

I did what I could.

 

[Perkel]

Looks cool to me.

Special kind of trolling.
Releasing starfield before starfield lol.

Game will live/die on dialogue system quests, checks and so on.

 

[Popiel]

Aaand I'm an Obsiwhore once again.

If only because they shitted on Bethesduh point blank with this. I love it.

 

[soulburner]

It's been a while since I played a good first person RPG and this thing looks just like the shit I need.

Now awaiting previews, uncut gameplay footage and a release date!

 

[Curratum]

I think it's a little naive to expect the levels of depth people are gearing up for in a game that has this sort of visual style, tone of narrator and humor.

 

[ADL]

As expected, reaction from the general public was very positive. Bethesda has gathered peak levels of hatred, turning even some of their most loyal zombie-followers against them with Fallout 76.

The stage is set for Obsidian to make a SLAM DUNK (TM) and cement themselves as a big developer again.

Now if only Microsoft hadn't acquired them squashing the pipe dream of receiving a Fallout/TES open world immersive sim competitor with mod support.

 

[Black]

TimCain you got a bit chubbier.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Don't care for the setting at all, this looks like the sort of game I've seen ten times before but with slight alterations to it.

If the writing in the POE games is anything to by, I don't have much hope for the dialogue either.

And it's an FPS RPG, the combat is probably going to suck.

 

[ADL]

Borderlands was a fun game to kill a bit of time. Throw in a proper RPG design and it can be good.

I'll wait for more information but for now we can at least confirm that this isn't some medium-budget effort but a proper AAA RPG.

I believe they've said that it's the largest production they've ever done but it's done under the Take Two Private Division label which is supposed to be mid-range budget-wise where the studio gets to keep the IP.
