>Josh Sawyer is biding his time, having not been involved in the past 3 games
>John Gonzalez is back
>Tim Cain is back... again
Are they all working on the same game? Is it an actual RPG instead of a visual novel like Pentiment? Will it be kino like Pillars of Eternity or more slop like Outer Worlds?
>>
It's gonna be licensedslop of some kind of open world garbage (New Vegas 2)
Nothing worth getting excited over
Microsoft only corrupts. Look at Arkane.

Arkane has been washed up hacks making shitty clones of better games from the 90s since the beginning.

If you think these games other than whatever Karmastar is aren't kino, you're a cock muncher.

I don't care about the skin color of characters as long as the game is good.

Gave up on Obsidian after TOW. As much as I love New Vegas, they won't use it to trick me again.

avowed was the biggest vidya disappoitment of the decade

The problem is that the core of Obsidian has changed too much. The actual leadership and the key names don't matter.

Reminder that Tim Cain shared in his youtube videos that he once was discussing shit about Outer Worlds too passionately with Boyarsky and HR yelled at him for scaring all the zoomer women working for him. Those people have no passion. Obsidian hired a bunch of meme writers and university trained zoomers with no actual spirit to them.

Hell, just recently, he made this video basically explaining why Obsidian sucks now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0EbiVIfHCw

Pentiment was actually pretty good, but it was barely a game and it had like 10 people working on it total, so that's how that game worked around the issue. If they try doing another AA or AAA type game, it will be ruined by the core of the team once again, just like Outer Worlds was. No Cain, no Sawyer, no Gonzalez, not even Avellone if he somehow came back (Which would never happen btw), would be able to fix that.

>>729226248
If they are making anything good we aren't gonna see anything before the end 2027
>>
>>729226248
Obsidian has never made a good game.
>>
>>729226248
Wish they'd finally get out of the kitchen.
>>
Judging by their recent games with the arguable exception of Pentiment, most of Obsidian is too obsessed with ideology over writing. It seems to be a common problem with a lot of major studios these days.
>>
Avowed was fun...

>don't include any of their own unique classes
>completely gutted their magic system down to various shades of damage and like 3 CC spells
>melee is just about doing stamina damage for easy crits
>new god is a brat-minded wholly unlikable piece of shit and her shroom godlike gimmick is repulsive
>can't even change the companion's gear
>both males are fags, they even had the gall to hire garrus's VA for the fish
the world is pretty. thats all avowed has
>>
>nu-obsidian
Nah. Don't care.
Avellone was the *one* guy I liked there and they fucked him over so hard he turned into a Grummz-lite on twitter.
>>
ah yes, can't wait for avowed 2.
>>
>>729227230
>and they fucked him over so hard
How?
>>
it's fallout new orleans

>>729226440
>as long as the game is good
here's the neat part, it won't be
>>
>>729227230
God I loved Durance so much
>>
>>729227394
On one hand you have kino Durance; on the other hand you have cringe Kreia and Grieving Mother. Idk, that dude can be really hit or miss
>>
After so many wet farts i doubt MS will give them a lot of money to make a real AAA game

no way they can make a big game for 50 mil like those euro studios
>>
>>729226248
Didn't they said repeatedly it's not Fallout IP or something?

Cain only works on projects with a major aspect that is new to him. He has stated he specifically only accepts jobs that can offer him this.
>Grand slam bridge - first job
>Bards tale - first lead
>Fallout - first directorship plus post apoc (turned down wasteland 2 director position bc it would be a repeat)
>Arcanum - first hybrid setting plus first flat hierarchy game
>Vampire - first time using someone else's engine
>Temple of Elemental Evil - first DND game
>Wild Star - first MMO
>South Park - first console game
>Tyranny - first Unity game
>Outer Worlds - first Unreal game

Whatever it is, it's something he hasn't done before and I very much doubt it's Outer Worlds 3. My guess is that it's a VR game in the Pillars universe or another completely fresh idea like his Lord of Light concept etc. I'd suggest a Switch-first game but seeing as Obsidian is owned by Microsoft I very much doubt it.
