15 Mins of gameplay (from the studio / not reviewers): https://www.gameinformer.com/video-...018/12/07/new-gameplay-today-the-outer-worlds

Thanks for the link, looks nice! But I will never understand why play FP game with a controller, it looks like he walks/aim in slowmotion. [haha]

Have to admit, seeing the title made me wonder what mischief OA was up to now.

Since this is the defacto Outer Worlds thread around here, I've gone ahead and edited the thread title for clarity.

It's been said - Fallout meets Borderlands. If this is done well it could be one of the best games this decade (and beyond).

I just realized after that interview that the guys also worked on VtM: Bloodlines. Shall see how it turns out when new info comes out this month, but am looking forward to it.

It's got a hell of an act to follow to beat BL2, the shooting element will need to be superb, the original fallout was clunky and anything BUT an FPS. I'll keep an eye out though.

Well given the fact that the original Fallout was an isometric turn based combat RPG, yes.. it was anything BUT an FPS. When people say the makers of Fallout, they mean Fallout 1-2. Not 3

Also not sure where this Borderlands thing comes from, this is not a looter shooter. It's a first person RPG with probably shooting mechanics. I wouldn't expect anything more, really.

I would argue that from what we have seen so far, the tone is more like Borderlands than for example later Fallouts. But Borderlands is not much of an RPG, that is true.

Yeah, tone wise it might be Borderlands, that I agree with. But not mechanics wise. Guess we just have to wait for more coverage.

No buy..if it´s true

Wait, isn't it published by one of Microsoft subdivisions? It's got to be on MS store. I'm prepared to buy it from there

Don't worry, it's coming to PlayStation and Xbox One.

There is nothing "exclusive" here. The platforms that actually matter are served on day one.

It's funny how you still believe in this agenda, despite facts showing otherwise

Guess they finally gave me a reason to upgrade to Win10 then Otherwise one year skip it is.

 

[Siobhan]

That's a lot of sales they're going to lose.

It's true ... see the Steam page for it

I`m sorry for living under the rock obviously but what exactly is the reason why folks "hate" Epic Store?

Well for me personally it is the general turnoff of trying to compete by making stuff exclusive instead of say.. a good storefront. Then there's stuff like this: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D1qDlD1U4AAXeO4.jpg:large

I'd heard about data slurping, but not the extent that you posted... Yeah, deffo not going there.
I guess I'll buy something else instead.

Guess with all these sources, take it with a mountain of salt, but yeah.. not really making me jump at a chance of installing. Also what I don't understand: every indie dev going to EGS keeps saying you don't need the launcher beyond installation. That is the thing though, why need it for installation at all? GOG gives you download links without Galaxy, humble can do to. So why can't the mighty EGS?
