The Outer Worlds, New game by Obsidian Options

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Ok, so Obsidian are working on a new game called The Outer Worlds. It appears to be an open world first person shooter/rpg set in a sci fi world. They are also making the fact that they have some of the original devs who worked on the first Fallouts and New Vegas a big part of their marketing for this game.

I was a little interested in the game but not terribly so. Can't say I've had any personal experience with the Epic Games Store, but given everything that has been said about them I'm not going anywhere near there. Oh well.

There is something I find pretty funny from this, though. Anytime fanboyism over a gaming company gets a reality check like the rabid trolls who think Obsidian is the Second Coming, I can't help but enjoy it. I have nothing against Obsidian themselves, although this is a pretty sucky move by them.

But hey, at least they aren't like that one company (don't remember the name) that promised the game would come to Steam (and GOG?), but then way later decided to only make it exclusive to Epic and then mess up the process for getting a refund (wasn't it that a third-party is handling it now?). At least Obsidian did this way in advance.

Khajiit believes that other game you mentioned was the new Metro title. As far as the Epic Store business, Obsidian may not have had any say in that, as the games publisher had an exclusivity deal with the Epic Games Store.

That's what I was reading, too. Apparently the Obsidian devs were in the process pf putting achievements on Steam, when the news broke.
Talk about a blindside.
