Anyone interested in the game should give this clip a watch.

They discuss main character, game structure, choice and consequences, and a bit about companions. You get some feel for the dialog, too.

They compare the game structure to ME, Kotor, and DA:O. Choice and consequence sounds robust and includes time dilation effects (e.g., returning 10 years later to the effects of your choice). You take two companions at a time (similar to ME), with romances possible if that's your thing. Looking good to me.

This one of the few games that has got me excited in the last couple years. I'll have to watch this. Thanks!

They really need to work on their enemy death animations.
Hate Destiny all you want, killing mobs is so satisfying there.

I didn't like much how the characters looked in the reveal trailer but I am hopeful that the game will be good, the people behind has talent and experience

There's a book, too, that I just heard about. It's called The Archimedes Engine, by Peter F. Hamilton. I'm not usually into SF (in book form), but I might pick up a copy.

Holy crap, it's 928 pages long. Well, maybe that's not for me, then. I will read shorter novels, but it would have to be a masterpiece to devote that much time to it. It's getting good reviews on amazon, though, fwiw (4.6/5).

this is from ex bioware devs, right?

Yup.

Wonder if we get a release date this year. Outer Worlds 2 and a mass effect successor at the same time.

Oh. Thought there was a new livestream. This actually tempered my expectation when I first saw it. The lore, game structure and choice and consequences sounds great, but saw none of that in the actual gameplay. Mostly just linear action, which was not what I was hoping to see.

Outer Worlds 2

People want that?

Do they show more than 2 sec cut of combat?

Anti-capitalist male feminsts mostly.

Fwiw, guys in the comments section suggest a release date reveal next year, with release in late 2026. That's just speculation of course, but it does seem that the game is a couple of years away still (maybe a bit less).

Which is fine with me. I want them to take their time, make it good.

Yeah, I guess this is highlights of a longer livestream, one I missed. They just posted this on the official site, so I figured it was new. What is new is the highlight reel aspect - they pulled out "best bits" for those of us who missed or didn't have time to watch the full stream.

I hadn't heard any of the commentary about game structure, c+c, companions, etc., before, so that was interesting to me. I also appreciated the snippets of dialog I heard. It sounded pretty good to me, which is a relief after some of the RPG dialog we've gotten lately.

Yeah the voice acting is pretty good. At this point I'd love to see some uncut non-action gameplay and exploration. Hope that's what they do next.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Still doesn't look as cool as Mass Effect, but best wishes for them, hope the game ends up being good.

Pre-ordered.
