If you’re anything like us, then you’ve probably been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to hear more about The Outer Worlds, Obsidian Entertainment’s upcoming sci-fi RPG. Well, this weekend we got a glimpse at twenty minutes of new gameplay during the 2019 Tokyo Game Show, and boy is The Outer Worlds giving off some serious Fallout vibes.
If you’re a fan of the Fallout series, then you probably remember that first feeling of diving into Fallout: New Vegas when it first released back in 2010. Now, with Microsoft backing them up, the fine folks at Obsidian are looking to make a return to the world of sci-fi RPGs and The Outer Worlds is really shaping up to look like quite a plate full. The twenty minutes of gameplay on show at TGS 2019 showcases the game’s dialog system, as well as some of the combat and abilities that players will make use of throughout the singleplayer experience.
While it’s important to note that The Outer Worlds does look a little rough around the edges—not all the animations we’ve seen so far look that smooth—the game appears to be a walk down a road paved by nostalgia, and I’m not inclined to be entirely against that. What we’ve seen most recently definitely looks pretty rough, though and a lot of people have shared concerns about the overall outcome of the game’s quality. Of course, only time will tell if this was a misstep, or if Obsidian is able to rekindle the flame that they originally captured back in New Vegas.
We’ve included the embed for the gameplay above, so make sure you check it out to see the action for yourself. Are you excited for The Outer Worlds?
