The Outer Worlds, an RPG by Obsidian, is out in 13 days. Who else is hyped?
- Thread starter Proven
- Start date
Yup. Somewhere in the multiverse there's a timeline where Obsidian got to actually finish one of their games without being fucked over by Bethesda or BioWare. I want to see that timeline.

OP
I'm happy for them that they got acquired. Not because I want to see them platform exclusive or anything like that, but they will actually have financial support and strong publishing on their next game
I'm happy for them as far as having financial stability, but I'm bummed that I'll never get to play their stuff again.
Same. I love the concept, but when I watch gameplay clips, I can't help but see a reskinned New Vegas, technical imperfections and all. These Bethesda-style RPGs needed a new game engine years ago.
Im cautious optimistic about this game. On one hand, its a dream project for me, but on the other, I think im still expecting this to be bigger than it actually will be. I will be picking up a month of XBOX Game Pass PC to try it out first, then ill see how much I still have left to do after the month is up.
Had no idea is was out this month. Death Stranding is really the only game on my mind lately, lol.
Ah yeah...in my excitement for the game I forgot that details, that's definitely a bummer. >_<
Yeah, I'm getting low budgetty vibes, which can be charming when other aspects of the game are stellar but only time will tell. I can't wait for the Microsoft money to fuel their next project.
I read somewhere that they consider this a AA game and not an AAA title, so I can believe that.
I didn't start to question whether I'd buy it or not until they released that 40-minute gameplay video a few weeks back. Because some portions of that looked rough.
Even Don Mattrick's Microsoft f-ed them over. I'm glad Phil mended their relationship and seems to have gotten Obsidian the stability they need and deserve.
Are you on PC or an Xbox by any chance? Itll be available on their Gamepass thing on release day, so im just going to do that on PC at first.
I watched a video the other night of some Youtube people that got to go out and play it. The towns still didnt have any ambient noise or music, so they were dead silent lol. They will be cutting it close, thats for sure. Ive also heard that its 15-40 hours long.
Nah, PS4 for me. Otherwise it wouldn't really be a question. I've never been much of a PC gamer and there wasn't enough exclusive software I was interested in this gen to justify buying an XBoner.
Yea im typically the same. I thought thats what you were doing, but wasnt sure lol. I usually only play the Fallout games on PC so I can change my carry weight and stuff.
Also, please come back soon!
It's first person so...not really. But I hope it does well! Obsidian's a talented developer that deserves more opportunities to show their talent!
They really should've used Unreal Engine 5, UE4 is an old and outdated engine.
I don't understand this point, which is the proble with a single entry game?
I mean, I think the market is oversaturated with sequels and doing a different thing seems the best idea.
I will wait a few months though, I've yet to plat their last CRPG (Pillars 2) and I'm going to buy the complete edition of this one or play it when I have more time.
I'd like to play it day one on Game Pass, hopefully there won't be any Fallout New Vegas-type of performance and freezing issues.
I'm PlayStation/Switch only as well. I might pick up the Switch version. It's possible they might still be able to port to Switch down the road, right? Other MS stuff seems to come out on Switch.
I'm not super hyped, though. It's a small game with no open world and honestly I prefer Bethesda RPG's take on these games. I prefer FO3 and FO4 to New Vegas, for example.
All that said, I'm open to it once the price drops.
