How Much Like Fallout: New Vegas Is The Outer Worlds, Really?

The question is: how much is The Outer Worlds a true successor to New Vegas, and how much is just talk?

Player agency and varied roleplaying mechanics are staples of an Obsidian RPG.
Outer Worlds was definitely a continuation of the design philosophy presented with New Vegas, albeit fleshed out (for the most part) within the mechanics; if a bit more condensed and ground it terms of the world itself.

A lot of people have already said it, but, Outer Worlds is a fantastic RPG is almost every regard. It's the rare title where the first release of a new ip of this scope has little to no obvious flaws to it. And that said, that leaves the door open to just how impressive a sequel could be, considering this is the base.

While I agree, I think besides the general first person perspective combat The Outer Worlds is way more like Knights of the Old Republic 2 than New Vegas. Obviously the feel of the combat goes a long way to making it feel like a Fallout game though. But the structure of the worlds and the missions, the perk levelling system, the companion quests, influence, having a party for combat, and the general companion banter just feel so much like KoTOR2 to me, which did a fantastic job of much the same things that this game succeeded in doing too. Another great game that like New Vegas seemed like a superior sequel/expansion to the original (although in the case KoTOR2 it was crippled a little by being rushed out the door by the publisher). Either way, loved my time with The Outer Worlds.

Sequel ain’t happening not as long as Obsidian is owned by MS.

AK912055d ago

@TheReallRedCruz the Outer Worlds IP is owned by Private Division not MS, unless MS buy the rights of Private Division or Obsidian themselves do the sequel won’t be happening anytime soon.

MadLad2055d ago

You probably would want to recheck the information on this. Obsidian own the Outer Worlds IP. Private Division was nothing but the publisher. With the acquisition of Obsidian, MS now owns the company, as well as all IP. MS does indeed own Outer Worlds.

I'm trying to get my girlfriend to try it. Her video game likes are limited to 3 games: Animal Crossing, Diablo 3, and Skyrim. I told her it's like Skyrim, lol. She says the reason she didn't like Fallout 3 was because of the guns and the difficulty, but I said that melee is a viable option in this game, though admittedly, I'm only about an hour into it, so I'm not sure how valid this claim is.

Hroach6162055d ago

I’m maybe 5-6 hrs into it now. It became less viable pretty quickly once you get off the first world. It might be fine if you go into it with a melee build in mind from the start, but I didn’t do that so I can’t say for sure. Maybe someone else has that build can comment more.

bluefox7552054d ago

Thanks, you're the only respondant that wasn't useless.

KillZallthebeast2055d ago

Apparrently people dont like your basic bitch girlfriend.

bluefox7552054d ago

Not sure what that means. She's not hardcore enough of a gamer to be my girlfriend? Do people on this website actually have wives or girlfriends? Guess that would explain the bizarre downvoting.

KillZallthebeast2053d ago

it means nothing and the fact your pondering is ridiculous

KillZallthebeast2053d ago

also I down vote no one I have maybe down 2 tops in 5 years

Fist4achin2055d ago

Who cares?! Fallout New Vegas was a winning formula, so why not run with it or at least take the best mechanics and apply it elsewhere!

smolinsk2055d ago

No fallout 3 was, the world map of New Vegas was confusing and dull as hell..

smolinsk2055d ago

no but between fallout 3 and new vegas, fallout 3 was superior i think..

BadElf2054d ago

I would say thats a conversation for another time.

It's not open world, end of comparison.

Truly amazing!

Draws inspiration clearly draws gameplay inspiration from Assassins Creed and action cinematics from Uncharted!

Powered by UE5!

Definitely on my radar!

Eastern devs are putting in that work this gen. The quality of their games have been top-notch across the board. Looking forward to seeing more of this game in action.

Other devs need to take notes and step their game up, figuratively and literally.

Lightning7711h ago

Looks very good why wasn't this at SGF?

Obscure_Observer8h ago

Probably because this trailer wasn´t ready yet.

I doubt the developers would miss the opportunity to reveal their games to millions of gamers on four major events like Summer Game Fest, Future Games Show, State of Play or Xbox Showcase on purpose.

Napoca863h ago(Edited 3h ago)

This feels like 90% stolen from Uncharted and the guy is also falling or almost falling to often down. Nah this is to much show, something is strange here.

Sonyslave32h ago

It does look like it could be staged or the combat might be like hellblade, but i have hope the devs made naraka battle royal game.

pwnmaster300015m ago

This reminds me a bit of uncharted, ghost, Gow and AC.

Count me in.

The director of the original Silent Hill: “I look forward to seeing bold interpretations.”

Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”

Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.

They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.

Nightcrawler899h ago

Hope they use his vision in the game

Inverno9h ago

Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?

Pedrof8h ago

I wouldn't hold my breath on "bold".
