The Outer Worlds (Obsidian)

This is definitely on my radar now it’s coming to the Switch, before that I wasn’t even aware of its existence before that. Sounds pretty promising so far though, Hope Virtuos can get it performing solidly on the Switch.

Somehow missed the reveal of this. Obsidian futuristic SINGLE PLAYER rpg - count me in :toot:

I am excited about this game but those faces and animations. :dread:

It's 2019, you can buy off the shelf software from any number of third parties that does a better job.

That's Obsidian. The best writing, the worst coding.

I watched a few of the vids that Monkey Man shared and the game seems pretty interesting. I hadn't realised the launch is so near; just two months until it arrives

.

Obviously they’d be hyping it up regardless but i’ve Just seen this,

At least they think the Switch version is looking good? Suppose there is a very slight chance we might see this at the rumoured Nintendo direct in September, not expecting it to release till next year though.

Obsidian has revealed a fresh, meaty slice of The Outer Worlds gameplay at Tokyo Game Show over the weekend.

Unlike some of the slick, polished teasers we've seen lately, this is a fairly stripped-back affair that shows a good chunk of an early portion of the game in real-time action.

Whilst the text and UI is all in Japanese for the TGS audience, the voice work is English, so it should still give you a sense of the inventory system, voice-work, environments, and that all-important combat, of course.

The art direction seems to be doing a lot of make up for graphical shortcomings. I really like the whole retrofuturism aesthetic with a lot of the structures looking they they came out of a Jules Verne novel.

Agreed, the art style is looking great. It's retrofuture, but a different retrofuture to the fallout world, which is nice.

Pre-load out. 36GB on XB1X, 17GB on XB1.

Why does the back-to-camera boxart man look so confused though?

Is it confusion or are they just holding their head in astonishment at all the cool stuff laid out in front of them?

Definitely going to be picking this one up, would normally go for this kind of game on PC but am tempted with the PS4 option, might need to wait until there is a performance analysis out for it!

I'll be grabbing it via PC Gamepass.

This is Bit stupid imo.

I wonder if this is because Obsidian has become a Microsoft game development studio?

I hope it’s not, hopefully it will get a Pro Patch after Launch. Dark Souls 3 is pro enhanced I think and not for X1X but it’s still unusual.

Edit: We Happy Few didn’t have a Pro Patch either...
Oh and it’s now ‘Xbox Game Studios’.

Might sway me more towards the pc version. I'm not getting it for a while so I'll see how the performance shakes out.
