Obsidian: The Outer Worlds Is The Game We've Been Wanting to Make for a Long Time

The developers at Obsidian Entertainment openly said that they've been wanting to make The Outer Worlds for a long time now.

The fact they want to make it is promising. Obsidian are fantastic, even when given limited time & resources (New Vegas) or experimenting (Alpha Protocol)

kevnb1962d ago

Even stick of truth was awesome.

Razzer1962d ago (Edited 1962d ago )

Yes, but come on, that was material straight from South Park and the most simplistic turn based system there is. It is a great game, but how much of it was Obsidian?

KillZallthebeast1962d ago

That's entirely factual but the stick of truth regardless was still put together quiet well. New vegas launched as a mess but after the fact was a good game. Can't recall 1 bethesda dinosaur engine game that launched well

Razzer1962d ago

Personally I thought Alpha Protocol was horrible.

UltraNova1962d ago

Same here, there's no redemption for that mess.

Now I hope MS wont breath down their neck, putting pressure on them to finish with OW just so they can move on to an Xbox only game.

I'll be excited when Obsidian doesn't release a buggy mess.

MadLad1962d ago

It's called anything of recent memory. Notice anything from their kickstarter, where they have full control over funding and development goals, have been of extremely high quality.

kevnb1962d ago

thats because many publishers are horrible and end up sabotaging games because they think they know best, despite them being suits who dont know anything about games.

pietro12121962d ago (Edited 1962d ago )

Their recent titles weren't no where near as buggy as past titles. Despite their games being buggy Obsidian is one of the best rpg devs around.

Sciurus_vulgaris1962d ago

Obsidian was forced to rush Fallout: New Vegas, plus the game ran on a dated engine.

kevnb1962d ago

@Sciurus_vulgaris and it was still way better than fallout 3.

King_Noctis1962d ago

You sir are confusing Obsidian with Bethesda.

Zenbaby3691962d ago

That was my first thought.

Razzer1962d ago (Edited 1962d ago )

No, he is not. Even South Park had stuttering problems. Stick of Truth. Seriously. That game should have been solid from beginning to end.

Just because MS bought Obsidian does not make them perfect, dude. They are far from it.

KaiPow1962d ago

Bring on the snarky dialogue!

MadLad1962d ago

My most anticipated. Obsidian, CDPR, and Larian are the masters of the RPG genre at the moment.

PMind1962d ago

The only info I have seen even mentioning RPG elements in Anthem is that it doesn't have any.

MadLad1962d ago

Bioware is a shell of the company it was when they were handling stuff like Kotor, Baldur's Gate.

Ausbo1962d ago

It’s looking more and more like Microsoft made the right decision to purchase obsidian. Game looks great. Amazing what funding and time can do with the talent there.

lollord1962d ago (Edited 1962d ago )

Microsoft will kill what has made obsidian them though, and turn them into a soulless dev team.

ReesesPuffs1962d ago

You realize Obsidian nearly went bankrupt right? If Microsoft hadn't bought them they may not have had much longer to keep making games like this anyways.

jagermaster6191962d ago

Says the pissed Sony fan, just be happy you get to play one last game by this company.

Zenbaby3691962d ago

@ReesesPuffs I find that unlikely given the recent success of pillars and what looks like the probable success with this game. This doesn't make microsoft a hero.

mark_parch1962d ago

@Zenbaby369 I thought the recent pillars of eternity didn't sell very well

Finally, Resistance: Retribution 🔥

It's an alright month overall. I think Sony should try to more consistently get some high quality indies Day 1 in the service, e.g. Ultros would have been good. Those have usually been some of the better months, e.g. Stray, Sea Of Stars, Tchia.

Shame that for this version of Outer Worlds, you can't import your save. 😔 Truly Spacer's Choice

darthv7271d ago

retribution was a cool game. It's the only one that allowed you to link a DS3 controller using Resistance 2 to play it (as far as i know). It was an interesting experiment that didnt offer 2nd analog support though but Im betting this version does.

Eonjay71d ago

Good point. One assumes that is the reason for the delay on releasing it.

ChasterMies71d ago

Joke’s on Outer Worlds Spacers Choice. I quit after the first planet in Outer Worlds.

MaximusPrime_71d ago

Glad I didn't buy NFS rebound. I expected this to be on PS Plus.

ravens5270d ago

Unbound lol. N I got it for 15 physical, 🤷🏽. I'll take it. Jus got extra this year for $80, which is a great deal. If I can pay $80 on sale every year I'd stick with Extra. I don't mind buying a game but then it shows up here cause then I can download it to have it digitally but still have MY copy. Once they take it off I can still play it.

Eonjay71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

You can say what you want about day one purchases but besides that Plus really blows GamePass out of the water.

NFS, Outer Worlds and 4 different Tales of Games... and Retribution. And you throw the monthly games on top of that... its no competition.

BTW... how is it that no one realized that Microsoft could just put its games on Plus. No one seems to realize that Microsoft and Sony are now working to enrich each other. (Console ware is over)

darthv7271d ago

Sadly, Retribution is only for premium users... not us extra folk. I do have the original UMD, but it would be nice to get it digitally like i did with killzone liberation and stardust. Both of which i already owned digitally on my Go/Vita and it was cool when those were made available for the PS5 as then i could dl them.

Eonjay71d ago

This is one UMD I never had but thats really awesome you still have an original.

ChasterMies71d ago

How can Game Pass be the best deal on gaming when it is more expensive than PS+?

badboyz0971d ago

Plus you need a platform to.

Petebloodyonion71d ago

Gamepass PC is way cheaper to PS+ and even way cheaper if you use MS rewards points

Redgrave71d ago

Is that Jet Moto 2, under Resistance? As of writing, it's just an image and no text.

Redgrave71d ago

It's been fixed, and yes it is

Toecutter0070d ago (Edited 70d ago )

Why is the Killzone series still M.I.A? I still love playing splitscreen co-op of KZ3.

MrBaskerville70d ago

They did release the psp top down shooter a while back. So it's not completely forgotten.

Luc20121d ago

Added to my account. Probably won't have time to play but hey can't say no to a freebie 😂!

JEECE121d ago (Edited 121d ago )

I'd rather pay for a game on Steam than have it free on Epic Games Store.

JEECE121d ago

Tell me you love Fortnite without telling me you love Fortnite.

Jingsing120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

Some people just want capitalist communism and for Steam to have no competition. All of a sudden investing over a decade into 1 digital store front or having all your eggs in one basket looks under threat as the competition heats up. Now they are starting to see the potential pitfalls of what if Steam were to lose in the long run. The best solution was always the one we had right now. Library in your home and go to physical or online stores so no one has complete control of your loyalty or media. (Physical Media).

JEECE121d ago

Nah, I dislike having tons of janky clutter on my computer. I'd certainly be willing to pay for a game I really wanted rather than get it for free if getting it for free means embracing janky clutter. It's like getting something "free with ads." The ads are their own type of price.

mkis007121d ago

But EGS isn't even janky.

ocelot07121d ago

I'll just claim it and then never see the egs until I need it next. Same as I do with steam. Why use multiple when GOG Galaxy is a thing?

franwex121d ago

For some people it's Steam or nothing. I too use GOG Galaxy. It even has my xbox stuff.

darksky120d ago

There is nothing wrong with EGS. I have GOG Galaxy, Steam and EGS running and the pc is not struggling or crashing. I have more games on EGS than Steam due to all the freebies. It's good to have options other than Steam.
