This might come as a shock to you but a) not everyone is super into Halo, CoD, Battlefield, Doom et al. b) there are actually some major gameplay restrictions when going first-person and c) some people get motion sickness from that perspective. Furthermore, it's so pervasive now because last gen when multiplayer shooters blew up, every other game (whether or not it actually improved it) changed their perspective to get try to get in on that action.
Oh thank God! Now people wont get motion sickness when they remain motionless!
I totally understand, it's just that the game been confirmed to be first person since the very first reveal. No reason to be disappointed.
Laughed louder than I should've.
Of course there is. It means that lots of people will have to deal with motion sickness playing the game. Laughing at them just because is not helping at all.
Also, referring to your first comment, 3rd person is not related to console gaming at all. I've played hundreds of MMO in my life, and none of them are in 1st person.
I'm really f'n impressed how they handled the graphics here. Everything close looks a bit like Skyrim Special edition, engine, graphic style, but of course much more detailed and sharper, but then everything far away is and stays so freaking detailed and sharp so that this alone gives you a certain feeling of being in a real world, which other games often can't accomplish. It's impressive.
If I had my PC working I would do HQ gifs right now just from simple movement alone.
It looks so good.

So was Skyrim, with a (shitty) third-person mode. Different publisher/developer of course, but you know If Bethesda + Obsidian = New Vegas, and Bethesda = Skyrim, then obviously The Outer Worlds should have a third-person mode or something. I guess?
I laughed a bit too at the followup because of the irony of the third-person that is actually available.
I don't understand how this trend caught on, but just because it's used in actual movies does not mean it actually looks good in games. "Oh, but we want our game to have a cinematic presentation. What better way than to make it look like you are viewing something through a distorted pane of glass!?". Some of the games are so smeared that I wonder if I'm seeing things similar to someone who is vision impaired.

Btw, since this was a question at the beginning of the thread somewhere, you can also deactivate the helmet for your companion.
I see all these character builders but I am tempted to just go blind and pick skills etc on the fly as I go... I have no idea the style I am going for! I literally can't wait.
I did that, and always do that. Just read through everything and then decide what to choose and dynamically develop my character based on what happens in the world.
Happy with my char.
Once mods are supported (supposedly sometime post launch), it'd be great to have mods with cool presets like Daryl from Walking Dead/Sam from Dead Stranding.
Wow. LMAO. That works for so many reasons.
Two links in the second post.
Didn't play any of those and I also said I wished this was in third person. In fact, most rpg hardcores would also favor isometric.
For me it's just more cinematic. I like it better, that's it.
I've had problems in the past but recently it's been much more stable. No problems with Metro/Gears5 or the download of TOW.
Needs to be stated that Win store version is not the choice if you want mods.
Yes, that is how you are getting some screen shots and impressions. Those of us playing right now live in NZ or moved to NZ for the day! lol
Exactly lol there is something off with the colors or something. Feels like fallout in a no man sky universe
Finally decided on my character build. I've been toying with which way I want to approach my first playthrough - I've decided in a Sniper/Ranged convict who begrudgingly allows some people to 'tag' along with him. A lot of Skill Points in Long Guns and Sneak to chase that Crit damage and Headshot bonuses. This character is likely going to 'go where the money is' and his choices will follow that mantra; something along the lines of a hired gun/assassin of sorts.
My second playthrough is likely going to be a Very High Strength, High Int and High Charm build which focuses on melee weapons (both 1 and 2 handed) and is very much about helping the downtrodden and overthrowing the corporate hierarchy. Quick witted, fast talking and people flock to them as a hero of sorts.

I've only watched the original (E3 I think?) trailer, but besides that I'm going in blind. Very excited to do so.
Anyone on PC that can confirm how it works with controllers? I'm thinking of buying it on EGS and running it through Steam BPM with the Steam Controller, but then the game needs to support simultaneous gamepad and mouse support.
Could someone see how it works when using both a gamepad and mouse? Just see if you can move with the left stick and aim at the same time with the mouse.

thanks, from a person who gets motion sickness from FPS and doesn't like shooty bang gameplay
systems like VATS/TTD help a lot to mitigate some of this but I'd honestly prefer a 3rd person mode
Unless a reviewer is in this thread, no one is currently playing it on PC and won't be for another nine hours. If you haven't decided by then, check back later to see if someone can look into it for you.
Happy with my char.
I miss Gamebryo character creator.
This is just...too handsome. I need my weird looking faces.
So I don't think you actually toggle them. In the inventory you fill your inhaler with consumables and when you use the inhaler you get the adrena and the benefit of the consumable that was in the stack as well.
This way you can create concotions.
This might be of use to you both:
So Y switches weapons, holding Y let's you see all equipped weapons.
Then holdingX holsters your weapon.
