The Outer Worlds - Obsidian's new game, like Borderlands meets Fallout: New Vegas

[Sparky Lurker]

Here is a trailer for Obsidian newest IP shown on 2018 Games Awards:

Game is set to release on 2019, and the publisher is Private Division, the newest Take-Two subsidiary.

Any thoughts?

 

[Golden Compass]

Obsidian still makes games?

After watching my verdict is: I will keep an eye on this. Can't be any worse than 76, at least.

 

[Krokodil Overdose]

Any thoughts?

Ice-Pick Lodge switched from vodka to amphetamines.

On the fence, honestly. I loved New Vegas, but this looks like they're trying way too hard to go Tim Schafer wackyzany; not sure that style of comedy is their forte. I'll need to see more.

 

[vertexwindi]

Count me excited. I'm pretty sure all that wacky shit is just for the trailer.

 

[Zaryiu]

Cautious optimism?

 

[SiccDicc]

If they actually got quality writers after Avellone left instead of the fanfiction tier I've come to expect, I might pick this up. Although I hope I can work for the corporation.

The door getting stuck is not funny

Who wrote this shit? Jimmy Fallon?

I got a chuckle out of it...

 

[DarkSydePundit]

I got a chuckle out of it...

Yeah sure go for it.

But it’s not quality writing.

It’s the absolute minimum for humor.


“Oh I’m expecting the door to go down”

“It doesn’t.”

That’s the punchline.


Maybe something like

“Oh my gun got jammed so I throw it at the enemy”

would’ve been more suitable to get the tone across

 

[Agent of Z.O.G.]

I saw damage numbers so it's pretty much guaranteed to have shitty gameplay.

Microsoft is about to buy Obsidian, so it will either be a Xbox One exclusive, or released only on Games for Windows.

 

[OldGuy]

Cautious optimism?

Yeha... gona have a look at the devs twitter, and see if they spend a lot of time tweeting about SOCJUS bullshit, if their twitter is clean i might go as high as "Cautiusly hyped"

Oh yeah I forgot that, rip

Its coming to both steam and ps4, said near end of trailer.

 

[GentlemanFaggot]

When comparing this to New Vegas, remember that almost everyone who was key in creating New Vegas has since left Obsidian.

 

[Alfons Schmitler]

Really turned off by the whole lolsorandumb Borderlands vibe. Still gonna wait for gameplay before I judge though.

 

[Shokaract]

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Looks cool.
Unfortunately, I won't have the system to play it on, and probably aren't going to go out and buy it.

Still looks cool, though.

[The Shadow]

Looks derivative. Doesn't look funny or clever. I'm not won over.
