Grounded - New Obsidian Survival Game where you're tiny, Spring 2020 release
- Thread starter Dusk Golem
- Start date
Man that's awesome no way in hell would the old ms let smaller teams like this exist 😄
Yeah, and now they not only don't have to worry.
After seeing this, I have a feeling that microsoft probably wanted studios that were capable of doing small and large projects simultaneously. Keep the gamepass machine fueled
Not sure it's my thing (though I'll always try a new MP game), but it's good to see smaller stuff get a spotlight.
Edit: 13 people? Good luck to them, hope it works!

This game looks so cool. Current MS is seriously making me feel like a kid again with these unique game they're funding.
Not really, at least not for me. It's good they can work on whatever project they want, but I would love to see literally anything else. Pillars 3, a smaller side game based on Pillars engine, a historical RPG which Josh Sawyer always wanted to make. But not this.
Pillars isn't a smaller game, those isometrics take a lot of work
I finally get to experience honey I shrunk the kids, or the barrowers, really cool concept for a game, I hope it delivers.
I didn't said Pillars is a smaller game. I said a smaller game on its engine which could be utilising tech they had for Pillars 1, Pillars 2 and Tyranny.
At this point I'm really doubtful Feargus (and Microsoft?) will ever let Josh make his Darklands-style historical RPG. I'd love to be wrong though.
Gameplay looks like Fortnight.
Art style is completely wrong for this concept in my opinion. The appeal of exploring a small scale is magnifying tiny details that usually go unnoticed when viewed from a normal human perspective. The world should appear strange, alien, intimidating, occasionally gross.
With this art style all that is lost.

I wasn't interested in this, as is typical of me with...I guess all multiplayer games that aren't Battlefield, but then it was revealed that this will be on Game Pass, after which I continue not being interested, but maybe I'll try it out.
People have come to expect a certain type of game out of Obisidan, but; what Obsidian mans said.

A lot of the complaints are basically "I expect RPGs from Obsidian".
Everyone congratulated Ms for success of outer world and how great it was yet no one should say something if they don't like grounded ? Which is it man ? I m a bit confused .
Anyways I m sure it will have its own following . Online survival games tend to find their own niche
We saw the same thing from Ninja Theory with Bleeding Edge. Can't believe there are folks that think Microsoft even influenced the creation of these games.
Also Steam Early Access. Though personally I'm not sure who would get it there when it's on gamepass.
Errr... It's like they were actually acquired by the publisher of Armored Warfare instead of Microsoft.
What the. This game has no business being developed by Obsidian at all.
With the nature of survival genre, they're bound to constant updates over time. Hopefully it won't affect their next RPG project.

I loved how literally Obsidian had to go out of their way saying this was in conception before even being bought by Microsoft cause they probably knew people were going to shit on MS for forcing them to do some survival online thing. :D
Game looks neat.

Wait a year or two and they will show that game to you. They have 4 or 5 teams currently working on games and at least one of the projects is a Unreal Engine game that is supposedly AAA game (not Outer Worlds 2). It takes time to get there, they were acquired a year ago. You really don't want to show AAA game after it's been in development for less than year.
Survival 🤮
That said, I could see this being a hit with kids if it's friendly enough. The setting looks real strong.

Yea, as some who enjoys a variety of genres I love seeing studios branch out like this. I really don't want to see these studios stuck on one genre or IP.
Yeah this is giving me legit cringe. Cant stand bugs that close or big.
Josh Sawyer pretty much said this when they released the special announcement about the purchase. There will be smaller and bigger games both coming out from Obsidian.
You need to go to the review thread for that game.
Everyone . I merely said why r we congratulating MS and everyone forced me to edit my comment lol
Can send you the link if you want
You're right, there is a slim chance for this project to happen. And with Tyranny and Deadfire being considered as flops, there are small chances for games like that as well. Josh is apparently working on something he refers as a "non-violent game". Not sure if this is Grounded or something else, though.
