Uh... there is no camera work. It's just uses a first person view for the dialogue. The entire game is in first person.
The Outer Worlds - New previews and Impressions

I have a even better idea: please don't implement stealth kill animations because they are basically 'press A to win' shit. They are the bane of stealth games.
That's basically the reason I signed up for Game Pass. I refuse to give Epic any money but I do want to play their timed exclusives at launch. Game Pass won't have all of them but it will have many of the ones I care about. I see it as a rental service.
Ummm yeah, the camera work or lack there of, making the dialogue scenes rigid and robotic. Its not a deal breaker my original post was me being confused how this games outdated design was being passed on as an acceptable standard in 2019 in the video I mentioned.
I can honestly say that I strongly prefer this to a cinematic cutscene kill animation. I prefer very grounded, nuts and bolts gameplay, and this seems to be what I want.
This looks really good. so glad to see all the positive previews. I can only imagine what their next-gen full-blown AAA title will look like especially now they are Xbox 1P and getting all the support they need.
This is a AA game.
It's made on a relatively small budget compared to AAA RPGs.
The visuals are the least important aspect of an RPG anyway, but still, this is a good looking game to me. I love the look, I love the use of colours - I'm just really into the aesthetic.
This appeals to me:
This.

You can do stealth attack animations without making them instant kill. See Assassins Creed Odyssey.
Cowards? It likely came down to budget and time, like most things that don't make it into a game
Saying that recreated gameplay from a decade ago makes it "belong in 2019" at least in my view doesn't sound like a convincing argument. I mean anything can "belong" in the current year so why would anyone go out of their way to say that unless they're trying to defend something that is janky and antiquated in nature?
It also might not have provided anything to the story and was not needed. Not every game needs to have a romance system.
Bundy is cool, apart from his irrational hate for Killzone.
But yeah, come on fam, update the OP or create some threadmarks linking to far better previews. The PS one is pretty disappointing.
Yeah who would pay full price from a well loved developer doing a game in the vein of some of their most popular and successful IP's ever but without all the baggage that now goes with the series. Crazy talk
Considering the metric fuckton of dialogue, the choices, the reactionairy changes, the alternate dialogue paths and so on combined with the fact this is a AA game it all seems pretty reasonable.
OP
OP
I saw one tweet about "exclusive gameplay footage" on the PlayStation Blog and made a thread.
This was never supposed to be a general preview thread, because I didn't even know that more previews were coming the same day.
Buy hey, next time you wanna tell me something, quote or DM me.
Not even slightly. Technically or artistically its not looking particualrly "nice".
Definitely looks like budget Fallout. I am glad that someone besides Bethesda is attempting this kind of game. Hopefully it is good and successful enough that they can do more with a sequel.
Has Obsidian said before this is a semi-open world game, ala KOTOR? Two previews I have read so far compare it to New Vegas and saying it is open world. I swear this isn't right...
maybe, but it's what we have to go on so far. the preview mentioned there's a lot of tools to use even when you don't use the slow motion mechanic
This isn't correct. Minecraft is the only exception. All games announced for other platforms pre-acquisition will release on announced platforms. Moving forward, all XGS games will release for Xbox ecosystem and Steam.
I'll take a KOTOR sized experience over huge, sprawling RPGs any day,
I prefer my RPG experiences to be replayable over major time commitments.

Okay, I didn't read this one. Just wanted to make sure.
Edit: Looked at the date. Okay, they did say this.
I was actually going to pick it up on Xbox if it didn't end up gamepass, but I am going to purchase the Switch version after it comes out.
Ah, that's why the thread title is 'new previews' instead of 'preview'
Can I PM you the OP change, so there are more previews in the OP? Or do we need a separate preview thread?
The example you quoted is basically press A twice to win,I don't see how this is better,for me at least a stealth kill animation is cool and felt rewarding,stabbing as this example doesn't encourage a stealth approach,since you can just face the guy and stab him until he dies.Different opinions.But,this is something I don't put much value when playing.
WTF? I was expecting an open world,but this don't bother me,I will wait the reviews.

This was never advertised as an open world game.
People just see NV team and assume.
People need to understand that this is coming from a studio who never actually made a big AAA game before. Well, maybe a decade ago if KOTOR II counts.
But my point is, graphical prowess is not something that you should expect from an Obsidian game. It's never their virtue.
Outer Worlds seems structured as a shooter game, something akin to Borderlands. I've seen lots of gameplay videos tackling various quests, but they're all structured the same. You'd be directed at a quest destination, and along the way from the main hub you'll encounter groups of enemies in their post. And guess what, there boxes and crates where you can use to hide from bullets, and barrels in multiple spots that'll explode if you shoot them. At the end of your journey, you'll find a dungeon which is filled with enemies. Everything outside of the main hub of a planet is your enemy. I probably missed some footage showing otherwise, but that's what I've been seeing so far.

Tbh, it's really not. Except the dialogue system, it's nothing like Fallout.

they been saying from the start that they weren't making an open world game
I didn't follow this game closely, because it's not my style. But I thought it was.
This my mistake,but don't bothers me.
To be fair, Obsidian focus on AAA gameplay/plot/narration and player interactions.
I expect AAA across the board with MS funding their games.

Original thread title was different and got changed by the mod.
Still some previews missing? Post them here if you want and I'm gonna add them.

Yup. It's a good deal all around, for the studio and for fans. Looking forward to what they're cooking with MS money.
This is a silly personal gripe that you have with the camera work that you're passing off as some objective problem.
Looks great. Reminds me so much of Fallout 4 and Bioshock. Will be picking this up based off this preview.
People who don't have Gamepass.
It was a joke/meme that went way over your head.
Some of you never leave resetera and it shows lol.
What even is an objective problem? Not everyone is gonna have the same concerns. Maybe read what other critics are saying as well.
