Matzpxl · Jan 23, 2020

The first game was good, wondering where they go next. Thoughts?

Mórríoghain · Jan 23, 2020

Yessss! I LOVED the first game.

MaLDo · Jan 23, 2020

WTF, does that mean they will never solve Blair Witch's performance problems?

I was waiting before playing it :(

ghostcrew · Jan 23, 2020

Oh yeah, FANTASTIC. Very into this.

Enrico Pallazzo · Jan 23, 2020

Hopefully it's Observer 2. That was their best game yet.

SnazzyNaz · Jan 23, 2020

Nice. Observer felt like a step in the right direction for that team. Unlike Layers of Fear it actually gave the player a certain amount of interaction and agency. I hope that expand on that more in the sequel. RIP Rutger Hauer.

GavinUK86 · Jan 23, 2020

More Observer, less Blair Witch can only be a good thing.

On the other hand, RIP Rutger Hauer.

Omar310 · Jan 23, 2020

Man, I read that as Bloodborne 2 teaser...

SinkFla · Jan 23, 2020

Loved the first game. I even enjoyed Blair Witch for the most part. Bring it on!

Skittzo · Jan 23, 2020

Observer was a fantastic game, excited to see what's coming next.

Last time I tried it, Observer still has significant performance issues on consoles. So I'm not holding my breath.

NightShift · Jan 23, 2020

Cool. I really liked the first game. Whoever's voicing the protagonist has a lot to live up to.

I wouldn't call it significant. The game would chug hard when entering new areas but only for a couple seconds. Most of the time it ran fine on my base PS4.

Anyway, what's wrong with Blair Witch? I haven't played it yet.

shinobi602 · Jan 23, 2020

It's definitely a sequel to Observer. The binary at the top translates to "Daniel, are you there?"

Really enjoyed the first one. I'll take more!

LabRat · Jan 23, 2020

i liked blair witch (but i'm a huge fan of the movie) so i'm interested in this

Fiery Phoenix · Jan 23, 2020

First game was excellent. Wonder how they're going to handle that ending.

CatAssTrophy · Jan 23, 2020

Hyped. I like their games and hope they continue making these kinds of experiences.

It would be nice in the future though if there were enemies and characters etc to interact with, as things feel really static right now and most things revolve around set pieces. (I haven't played BW so I don't know what they did there)

Observer in PC runs perfect, but Blair Witch has some performance problems that must be fixed even on PC.

FoneBone · Jan 23, 2020

i liked Observer a lot, but wish Bloober would go back to making straight walking sims

Ravelle · Jan 23, 2020

I have not played the first one yet but I am still bewildered, one of the last thing Rutger Hauer did before he passend away was take part in an Indie game.

Deleted member 37917 · Jan 23, 2020

Bring back Rutger Hauer :(

ActWan · Jan 23, 2020

HOLY SHITTTTTTT out of nowhere!
not sure it needed a sequel but I'd take another game in that world if it's unrelated to the first. Fucking HYPE!
Observer is a masterpiece. The only thing I'd like to see improved in the sequel is more focus on detective elements and less about horror stealth.

Reedirect · Jan 23, 2020

In, but they need to shake up their gameplay formula consisting mostly of amusement park ride mindfuckery with very little interaction.

SmittyWerbenManJensen · Jan 23, 2020

Nice. I'd be down to play. Observer 1 was fucking weird (in a good way).

Patitoloco · Jan 23, 2020

Maaaaan, I loved the first one, I will play this day one.

I really hope they learned from Layers of Fear 2.

Damn Silly · Jan 23, 2020

I'm interested in more Observer, but I imagine it'll feel very weird without Rutger Hauer.

wideface · Jan 23, 2020

Awesome! I really liked the first game.
I'll miss Rutger Hauer's performance :c

Pizza Dog · Jan 23, 2020

This is the first I've ever heard of this game - I see it's on sale on PS4 for ~66% off, but not on Switch unfortunately. Is it worth a go?

Skittzo · Jan 23, 2020

Yeah the stealth segments were the one glaring weakness in the first game. I hope they learn from that.

It's frequently on sale on Switch, if you want to wait a bit.

Thanks - just looked at a quick video and the aesthetics are great - obviously very Blade Runner inspired. How's the story?

carlsojo · Jan 23, 2020

HELL YES. Observer was one of my favorites.

defaltoption · Jan 23, 2020

Nice I like these guys, I even enjoyed imo their worst game Blair Witch. Observer was great, in for more.

Shiptari · Jan 23, 2020

Wow, this is so unexpected. Observer is really underrated, I loved it.

Drowner · Jan 23, 2020

Awesome, I loved Observer 1

Azurik · Jan 23, 2020

Hopefully they iron out the atrocious performance on consoles (even pro/ x). The framerate in O1 was really bad.

Link-182 · Jan 23, 2020

LOVED Observer and so glad it's getting a sequel! But if they are bringing back Daniel like they teased, I wonder how they'll do that now that A) Rutger Hauer isn't around anymore, and B) The ending of the previous game.

Yossarian · Jan 23, 2020

I bought the first but am too scared to boot it up.

Dancrane212 · Jan 23, 2020

They had a pretty big presence at PAX East with Layers of Fear 2 last year. Wonder if they'll repeat that with this?

You shouldn't bother playing it to begin with. I'm the biggest fan of the Blair Witch franchise around and there is nothing about the game that it worth your time or money.

Whatever they do, they absolutely need to do something about the way they render the game. I genuinely can't play, or even watch a video of, the game. I seriously get sick of this game. Absolutely never had that in any game before ever :(

Bloober Team does have a way of abusing post-processing and 'insanity effects' to the point they lose their fear factor and just become nauseating.

John Rabbit · Jan 23, 2020

Hopefully it's not just endlessly talking to looping GIFs on doorways punctuated by godawful stealth sequences again.

crazillo · Jan 23, 2020

I'm not much into horror games but a dystopian cyberpunk future with some creepy and scary moments? HELL YES, GIMME MORE! I loved the first Observer.
