It's literally in the thread title. lol
I know lol, but I still cant believe it!
Believe it. :-)
Having this as a multiplat will probably work out well for Microsoft. If it's a big hit then they get to lure over PlayStation gamers with the bigger budget next-gen sequel.
Its a Q3/4 title for sure.This will undoubtedly be shown more during E3 at the Xbox show because I don't see this releasing earlier than that. Would love to be wrong though.
Yep, looks like one of the rare occasions where I would buy a game just from the trailer alone. New vegas was my favorite fallout and probably my favorite game of last gen.
Original fallout crew? Open world rpg? Scifi? A bit of humor as well?
Oh yes. Eat Bethesda's lunch boys and girls. Eat it up and make em give you seconds.
It should not be understated what a huge opportunity this is for Obsidian. With Bethesda dropping the ball hard with 76 (and mildly disappointing with Fallout 4), Obsidian has a real chance to swoop in and steal the crown. They're going to have a lot of good will going in from people that feel burned by Bethesda. People are really going to want them to succeed, and the timing could not be better.
If this can swing an 85 or better on Metacritic, I think we're looking at a huge hit.
Afaik it is not open world in a classical sense. What I've read is, that you fly to different planets with your ship and do missions there.
What I said has nothing to do with "room in the market." What I said is that Outer Worlds will have a tremendous amount of good will going into it, and that it stands to benefit from the negativity toward Fallout and Bethesda, because it makes a great narrative to see the spurned developers of a beloved entry show the big corporation who screwed over fans how it's done.What a strange take.
You make it sound like there's only room for one action-rpg in the market.
Personally I feel that the biggest thing holding this entire "companions: romance or no romance" argument back when it comes to RPGs is that it shouldn't even be that question being asked. The actual problem here, when I really think about it, isn't whether companions should be romancable, but rather - why are we limiting and/or targeting companions in particular? It's so cliche and feels like lazy design. Just because someone is a friend or a squad mate doesn't mean they would be romantically available or interested, but there is also the question as to why romance options should be limited to companions. I would like to see a RPG handle romance in a way where it fits the design of individual characters in the world, independent of their gameplay related status. So you could have a couple of companions who might be viable romance options, and other romance options which are available as NPCs in the world itself - depending on the sort of character you are playing. Many characters would not be viable at all because they are either unavailable or uninterested regardless of your gender, race, or traits. A few would be available regardless of those because they are much more open. Some would be available as options depending on meeting certain criteria.Disagree. If done well they can be really great storylines. The lack of that limits my RP options. Bit disappointed by that, though judging by PoE 2 and how badly romances were done we may be better off without it. Obsidian never can make that kind of narrative work it seems. If I wanna hook up with some of my companions why can't I
Yeah, romance options in this kind of game always feel so creepy. Glad they decided not to have them.
Yeah it's late 2019 I think, but watch Xbox get exclusive everything for this game now. It's going to be huge (I hope) and be a new great IP for Xbox.This will undoubtedly be shown more during E3 at the Xbox show because I don't see this releasing earlier than that. Would love to be wrong though.

I can't believe people actually played Fallout in third person. The FOV and camera are so janky, I'm basically trained to use first person exclusively.
Thats EXACTLY what I though as well, no way was that not a direct shot at Bethesda.This literally what I texted my younger brother when the trailer was playing.
The whole scene of you dont have to shoot anyone bit when choosing was a clear shot right at Bethesda who went full guns for FO4 and completely forgot the other side of the originals.
Not me!I think it was Jason Schreier who did so before the game's reveal.
No, first person only. You only get to see your character in the inventory screen and when the camera pans during idling.Any word yet from Obsidian on whether or not it'll have a third person mode/toggle? I really need to know this before I get hyped. I want one last Obsidian game to enjoy before they go exclusive, but first person only is an instant dealbreaker for me.

I'm also a bit disappointed about this, and about the fact that the game isn't open world, just semi-open hub areas. But oh well, clearly an AA title.
They'll give you a brothel like PoE, and a Fisto sex bot , or you'll just be a monk with no lewd desires and that's the only character trait you can't roleplay, I am disappointed too bro, give me my waifus/husbandosCan I fuck without Romance?
Saints Row 4 style. Just gimme a fuck button.
