Obsidian releases 15 minutes of gameplay from its brand new retro-futuristic sci-fi title, The Outer Worlds, giving off strong Fallout and Mass Effect vibes.
Last night at The Game Awards, Obsidian and Private Division excited sci-fi fans around the globe by announcing The Outer Worlds. The retro-futuristic title seems like a spiritual successor to Fallout: New Vegas, with The Outer Worlds featuring heavy RPG elements mixed with absurdist humor and a retro-futuristic setting. Last night’s trailer showed promise, but now fans have a brand new 15-minute gameplay demo that offers a much deeper diver into Halcyon, the solar system of the outer worlds.
One of the most apparent things in the video is the unique Obsidian brand of humor, which is most apparent in the dialogue options. Gamers who enjoyed the ‘classic’ Fallout dialogue trees will be in for a treat, with branching paths like intimidation checks, ‘dumb’ responses, and bluffs making an appearance. The Outer Worlds looks to be chock full of conversation choices, which was one of the few sticking points from more recent Fallout games.
