I just hope it is as well written as the original Pillars and Pentiment. Their other stuff has been very mediocre in terms of overall writing quality. Outer Worlds being the most egregious.
I want a new, great first person medieval/fantasy RPG.

WTF are you talking about? The dev direct is for upcoming first party games for the year. They are full price AA & AAA games, yeah, they are on GP too if you subscribe but not everyone does despite what these forums would like to have people believe. lol

Obsidian says Avowed was originally co-op but it just wasn't Obsidian enough
As part of its 20th anniversary celebrations, Obsidian Entertainment has been airing a documentary series digging into …

I'm keeping expectations low and will be happy if it turns out good.

That's actually pretty encouraging. Work on your strengths (in this case, well written quests and dialog).

Apparently The Outer Worlds narrative designer / DLCs lead writer is also spearheading Avowed's story. The same writer worked on both Pillars games though, so who knows

Man, I can't wait for the full release. Another one that's on my radar is The Wayward Realms, from the OG creators of The Elder Scrolls (Arena/Daggerfall). But this one is 2025 at the earliest.

Could work if plays a bit like mirrors edge with a whip, pistol and platforming. I'd prefer 3rd person but think it'll be a mix of both personally.
I don't want just uncharted/tomb raider in an Indy skin. Looking forward to the reveal regardless.

Maybe you have been posting for years, but it doesn’t give you a license to call people a dumbass, your attitude sucks. You could’ve maybe just answered the question or clarified that it’s a joke without personal attacks

Avowed....the game I was most excited for with it's initial reveal and the most recent reveal underwhelmed me by a lot. Now that my expectations are quite low I am slowly getting excited again.
We shall see.

Avowed is definitely the thing I want most from Xbox aside from a new Gears or that rumored remake collection.
If it ends up being a modern and polished Skyrim with pillars of eternity level writing then I will be in bliss.
Outer Worlds I legit couldn’t play even after changing the fov, head bob , etc which kept giving me motion sickness. This and Dying Light 1 were legit unplayable for me.

New arts for each of the 4 major games.
Indiana looks like a little bit like Ford but also stylized.

If you think the visuals are going to change much compared to the trailer from the summer... you're just crazy. If it's coming out this year, the game is basically done.
The animation was so bad. So... sooooo bad.

Literally no chance of this being possible.
Unless they use Bethesda engine and their template.
Their CEO himself said its a smaller AA title. Not saying this as a nagative, still has potential.

Yes...
That intro where he's walking down the dock is cringe. It looks like a higher res Assasins' Creed.. With worse animation

I caught up with "KC" this weekend past when he visited my estate to (in his own words) "fuck up some ducks and geese with our shooters".
I asked him what console he was rocking these days and he looked at me and with that chuckle of his, answered "Bruv, one is still rocking a BBC Model B".
Apparently Frak! Is still his favourite game even though it's based around the exploits of a stupid caveman called Trogg and not, as he had hoped for, an interactive gaming experience based around the dangers to the environment and destruction of the British coastline caused by the controversial method of releasing natural gases, petroleum and brine using high pressure liquid to create cracks and fissures in areas of bedrock.

The game looks perfectly fine, visually.
But even so, never in the history of Obsidian has cutting edge visuals been their selling point for their games. That's not why people play Obsidian games and it never has been.
It'd be like complaining that the new Naughty Dog game doesn't have deep RPG mechanics and branching storylines. That's not what they do.

It's a little more stylized, visually, than something like the Elder Scrolls, which I wasn't expecting prior to the reveal. Now that I've had time to adjust, I think it looks fine, but I can see how the art style could throw people off.This looks like something from 2011 to you?

I've said this before elsewhere on GAF as well but we really shouldn't ask or expect every game to attempt photo-realistic approaches, way too many games that already do that.
There's a lot of room for photo-realistic stuff already. It's ok if some developers want to do stylized visuals.

well to be honest that doesn't shine high quality AAA release either. not from a visual perspective no. Not asking it to be cyber-punk but cmon.
Yes the animations are a bit weird in that trailer. or maybe a better word, lacking in that department and needs more. the graphics its self is not great on the characters or enemies.
Also. those 4k screen shots looks really good.

I don't give a shit how it looks. Gameplay looked very mid in that video.
I have no issue trolerating less graphics if the game is fun. Obsidian is a studio I have some faith in, so we will see. It's unlikely I wont check out the game.

It's a terrible trailer there's no other way around it. Graphics look good enough for this type of game, my biggest problem is the art style. I much prefer the one in Pillars of Eternity.

You've picked 2 particularly cartoon like screenshots, when the majority of the trailer doesn't look like that. It should be noted though that some of the studio felt that trailer didn't portray the game in a good light. I'm sure what we'll see Thursday will be far more impressive.To me it looks like fantasy themed Sea of Thieves.

Good that they acknowledged that. When even the creators say it, you know that trailer was terrible.
Nope, game looks like fantasy themed Sea of Thieves. Art style is terrible, I'm sorry.
And again, this has nothing to do with graphical fidelity. It's the style they went for that's the problem. After that first CGI reveal few years ago, people were expecting this kind of vibe from the game:

I disagree but I do find the colour scheme quite ugly in some shots.

Yeah that shit looks subpar. Personally I think the game's graphics were unfinished in those shots and they were rushed to show something by Microsoft. They better come correct on the 18th.

Using youtube compressed pictures is the equivalent of 'camera adds 10 pounds'.
Here's some direct feed shots which much better in terms of IQ at least.

This was never going to be a slow walking and talking third person cinematic game, which is what too many people here define "AAA" as. It always was going to be a first person Western RPG set in the PoE universe.

Avowed looks like a good VR game. The visuals and animations we've seen so far isn't impressive imo.
This enemy going from attacking you to frozen and decapitated in one frame is ridiculous.
I wish it was in 3rd person.

You know, some people often call images like these "bullshots"
These are pretty tame to be bullshots lol, maybe PC captures.
Bullshots are say .. Ubisoft releasing 2160p screens back in the PS3 era and calling it representative of the game
