Obsidian Entertainment’s oddball sci-fi FPS-RPG The Outer Worlds will first launch on October 25th, Microsoft introduced throughout the night time’s newsblast. What shocked me within the trailer is a characteristic I’d missed: the game has a shrink ray which blasts wibbly shrinkbeams till the goal turns into diddy. Vital weapon. I do know younger Matt will meet Obsidian at E3 later this week so I need to press him to press them for a solution to the urgent query: can I shrink myself by taking pictures the ray right into a mirror?
I nonetheless don’t have a deal with on what the game is beneath the advertising and marketing. Trailers make it look heavy on the ol’ real-time violence however that’s very a lot not one thing I consider Obsidian as being good at. Their observe document on that entrance has been fairly dangerous, what with Alpha Protocol (which I do nonetheless like, don’t get me flawed, nevertheless it’s a masterclass in making taking pictures irritating in an RPG) and Fallout: New Vegas and… hey, Matt, nook the smallest Obsidianeer and shout “TELL ME WHY YOU THINK YOU’RE CAPABLE OF VIOLENCE” at them till they exhibit. Thanks prematurely!
Made by Obsidian Entertainment and printed by 2K’s Private Division label, The Outer Worlds will debut October 25th on the Epic Games Store and Microsoft’s Xshop (Obsidian at the moment are owned by Microsoft) for £50/$60. A Steam release will observe in 2020.
No, it’s nowt to do with Outer Wilds.
