Will update thread over the next few weeks as new info and trailers come out.

https://www.gameinformer.com/cover-reveal/2019/02/05/march-cover-revealed-the-outer-worlds

Its debut appearance revealed the first-person RPG draws strong inspiration from the Fallout series, but takes place in a brand new outer space setting. The comparisons aren’t surprising, as The Outer Worlds co-directors Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky are two of the individuals most responsible for the original Fallout game’s release in 1997.

Bet this will be on Epic Games Store. PS4 and Xbox One are confirmed to have a physical release

Looks like Fallout 76

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

1 year EGS exclusivity wouldn't surprise me. Why would it be on the Bethesda store?

 

[Pallas]

Definitely interested in this game and it shows Obsidian still has it. It has me excited with what they can create in the future for the Xbox.

 

[Tenaciousmo]

cautiously optimistic.
who am i kidding, all aboard the hype train next destiation my pc in 2019.

 

[Sub_Level]

Why would it be on the Bethesda store?

After 200 hours of New Vegas my brain associates Obsidian with them. I'll correct the OP.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Been keeping my eye on this. I really hope it delivers

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Looks pretty damned neat

 

[badblue]

Mikey Dowling, the director of communications in question, posted a cryptic tweet that pretty much teases fans about an upcoming announcement for The Outer Worlds, which is supposedly going to happen on 06 February 2019

If Epic has driven a dump trunk of money to Obsidian for an exclusivity deal, I really hope Obsidian's PR team is a good one. Because they are going to be getting shit on in light of the Exodus backlash.

 

[Belmonte]

I'm trying to be not so hyped but Tim Cain doesn't allow me!

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

I'm excited. This looks like what Fallout 3 should've been.

 

[Alebrije]

The "Fallout" we have been waiting for.

After Fallout 4 a am done with Bethesda.

Hope Obsidian finds a way to emulate the V.A.T.S. system.

 

[TeamGhobad]

gamepass game?

 

[Hendrick's]

gamepass game?

Not likely. It's published by Private Division a subsidiary of Take 2.

 

[TheShadowLord]

Not likely. It's published by Private Division a subsidiary of Take 2.

but there are third party games on gamepass though.

 

[Hendrick's]

but there are third party games on gamepass though.

I know, just saying it's not a give just because MS owns Obsidian now.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Ooh, I gotta pick up that issue.

 

[DanielJr82]

I think it looks great!

 

[Havoc2049]

The Game Informer looks meh, but the article seems like it will be a good read. The Outer Worlds looks great.

 

[Teslerum]

Leaked Info

 

[Verdanth]

Looks very Bioshockish.

 

[Pallas]

Leaked Info

The entire background story of mega corporations taking over definitely reminds me of Borderlands. I’m looking forward to this game.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

looking cool, need to see more gameplay.

 

[Nny7229]

I'm looking forward to this. Need a big rpg with a full world that I can fall into. If not this then I hope Cyberpunk will do it for me.

 

[LaughingStock]

I hope it's good. Fuck fallout.

Vampire the Masquerade sequel confirmed

















Yeah I wish.

 

[Harlock]

The game looks good, but the cover art let me wishing a game with Moebius art style.

You forgot a VATS like system^^

 

[LaughingStock]

Yeah, that's what i meant. I feel with fallout 3 they at least tried. But FO4 and 76 are bastardized versions of fallout. "Nukes are fun lol lol"
Fallout is pretty much dead at this point. So fuck it.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Sorry if it's been answered, but will this see a physical release?

 

[Krappadizzle]

From what I can tell of the story it seems like this is the story the writers were originally gonna do for Fallout 2 yeah? Tell me I'm not crazy.

Do we know what story F2 originally had?

You might be thinking about Van Buren, due to weird scientist, but the only big similiarities are him and well that it had a space station.

 

[Sub_Level]

Sorry if it's been answered, but will this see a physical release?

Yes. Its a full $60 game.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

no romance = no need to address lgbtq representation

 

[Vawn]

Is this an Xbox console exclusive? I might have to dust off the old Xbone.

Obsidian was acquired by MS after the PS4 version was being worked on, so its still coming to PS4 heh

 

[Gavon West]

Not likely. It's published by Private Division a subsidiary of Take 2.

I wouldnt make that call just yet tbh. It's still a XGP Ip. GP may actually get this day and date, or shortly after.

You're forgetting the Steam, P34 and Xbox around the 2.45 mark

Very smart move

Is it coming to PC?

 

[Lionel Richie]

Yes. Its a full $60 game.

Awesome, thank you! I'm there day one.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

No romances. Thank Christ. They're rarely (never?) handled well.

 

[Teslerum]

No romances. Thank Christ. They're rarely (never?) handled well.

And its not like Obsidian has proven they can do them well. NWN2s were terrible, Alpha Protocol's only somewhat work in a pulp spy novel sense and POE2's were... yeah not so good either (And the game showcases that it could have used the time spent on them in other narrative areas).

[BigBooper]

Just the list of answered questions is enough to let me know I want it. This sounds great.

 

[Scapegoat]

Great video, can't wait for the game.

Having watched a number of these GameInformer quickfire Q&A's I really appreciate how he answers "not in the way you are thinking" for a number of questions instead of something vaguer that could be misconstrued, e.g. "...in a way", "...wait and see", "...I don't want to ruin anything", or "..."
