Still not clicking with me, i'm not even sure what type of game it's trying to be, i don't want to play it still, no Outer Worlds 2 news.

Looks better than the last showcase, so far the layoffs are necessary in MS, their devs are now more motivated to make better stuff.
 
Visually it looks like a Denis Dyack go fund me effort. Such flat lighting.

I like Obsidian and liked Outer Worlds more than I thought I would, could be the case with this too.

I have a very hard time trying to judge if this will be something I’ll enjoy or not. Can’t really put my finger on why.

Good thing it’ll be on GamePass.

Looked ok at best.

This will live or die on its systems and quests. Praise baby jesus for Gamepass.

The rainbow color scheme is good in theory. The logo is cool. But on screen, in the gameplay, it just looks like a bland mess. The character models are distinctly last gen. The very first walking animation they show looks so dated. The combat looks shallow. The story, with the dramatic narration...whooosh...who cares, sounds like any generic fantasy game, and the music too, is not special. Another product made by committee. In theory this is the kind of game I want more of, but they need to let some auteur make his/her dream and take chances. This will bomb.

Art direction still look generic as can be. RIP Obsidian. You'll always be remembered as one of my favs. Personally I'm counting Outer Worlds as the before and after point. I won't besmirch your memory with anything from the "after" years. Pour one out yall. If you played NWN2 at launch, have a toast with me to one of the GOATs.

This wins the most improved award, but I'm still not confident it'll get out of 7/10 territory.

Obsidian is know for their quest structure and attention to detail, alot of confidence in them as this gets closer to release.

Looks quite unique and it's obvious the developers enjoyed while working on the environments. Tasty colors. Hopefully the gameplay/story parts will deliver.

Interested in seeing impressions from the hands on later today.

I need to see more uncut gameplay, but it looks fine for now.

We’re also supposed to get a longer gameplay segment from the post showcase hands on, but we’ll see.

Mixed feelings so far. I still wish they’d gone with the reveal art style.
 
It still feels like a modded skyrim. Probably will be 50$ game.

I like the format with deep dives for separate games - rather than the extended showcase.

Alright, that gameplay trailer looks a little better than the original trailers.

I wish they didn't go for that artstyle though. (Why does Dragon Age and this look like it went through a Fortnight filter?)

It has combat that I wish TES had. It looks ok. The story stuff goes over my head. I’m all about the gameplay.

Seriously what is the problem with those colours !! Why is everything purply (not a real word I know), it doesn't matter what the voiceover say, it will never be epic if the color choice makes it look like a Fornite wannabe.

It's like in the beginning the game had a great art direction for their environments and suddenly blue haired people came to paint it all in weird flashy colors all over the place.
Thus effectively making the game attractive in some ways and completely ugly at the same time.

This looked just as bad as the last time we saw it.

I don't get Mattyplays take that everything looks massively improved.
It looks a lot better but still not great. Like other have said i think its the art style, nothing flows or seems to fit. Its like a high school fantasy art project.

But im keeping an open mind.

It certainly looks better than Dragon Age.
