Creating The Dark Comedy In Obsidian's The Outer Worlds
In this exclusive Game Informer interview, Ben Hanson interviews the co-directors of Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds Tim Cain and Leon Boyarsky about the challenges of writing comedy in an RPG and the delicate balance between absurd and dark that the…
Obsidian releasing the outer worlds on epic game store exclusively, greedy bastards!!
The dark humor is where you say you release on steam, and then you suddenly pull the rug out of under the steam users.
Well it doesnt look too bad, but i dont think that itll be even close to cyberpunk 77
Best dark humor this year was making it an epic games store exclusive, nothing is funnier than the agonizing feeling of betrayal.
3:31 is that a MOTHERFUCKING laser scythe?
The dumb playthrough sounds like me irl
Saints row 3 and 4 are examples of games that keep the same tone through out and become pretty boring after a time.
game looks nice, but i wont support epic store.
The 30 people that disliked this are Bethesda shills. Agree?
Tim Cain plays Dark Souls? New favourite developer.
they're talking, Michael scott, from the office kind of dumb.
He was gonna put trump as president lol
I really hope this game gets the attention it deserves and I hope the Outer Worlds will become a franchise. Obsidian deserves to grow into a bigger company to get the resources they need to make games with more content.
What if you get to a dumb option but it makes sense to you ?
These two in the same table again?
what the fuck is this, New Vegas… in SPAAACE?
In fallout games, if you kill everyone, it gets dull. You can do it, but it dulls the game. Does TOW have this same dullness if you kill people?
This game is amazing, i hope they add dlc or make a sequel asap
"if you liked it before you'll like it again."
They were right, thanks T&L.
I have no idea what the story is about and i have no idea whats going on half the time and thats something i like in video games not being able to know what the game is about until i get further into it
A masterpiece! Loved it from the first minute:)
I quite enjoyed The Outer Worlds for what it was, but their approach to this universe is so silly and tongue-in-cheek that it's only about as "dark" as old 40's era radio dramas. Aside from a few of the companion quests they clearly weren't that interested in exploring most of the serious themes or ideas hinted at along the way and usually found ways to undercut them. The fact that Tim Cain, bless his heart, loves playing zero intelligence characters the most for their dumb dialogue options is a testament to how little they take their universe seriously. And that's okay. I was fine with the mostly lighthearted tone.
