Quick Look: EX: The Outer Worlds (10/16/2019)

Oh hell yeah

Hesitantly excited about this, I'm glad they've kept the conversation complexity of New Vegas which is enough for me.

This and Disco Elysium, the end of 2019 is bringing some cool RPGs!!

why is the quality so poor? only 360p?

@garbo91: Use the download link and open the HD version for now until the higher res options are on YT. That is what I did.

I'm so tempted to watch this. On one hand, I know I've seen enough to know I'm gonna play this day one. It being on gamepass is just an added bonus.

On the other hand, I wanna see more of this game!

@nauticalnaught: oh, thank you

@garbo91: YouTube hasn't processed the higher resolutions yet

So it's like a Bethesda thing?

@baka_shinji17:

Seeing as how it's from the original creators of Fallot, I think it's like a Fallout thing.

Shot in the dark here.

The audio on this is jacked.

Reward you for your skill choices? What is this, some sort of RPG!?

What next? Dialogue trees that don’t look like the Targaryen family tree.

Seems Jeff is hardly ever in Quick Looks anymore. Bums me the hell out.

Dude I'm so excited about Supernova mode.

I know what I'm going to be doing during my winter break.

This being on game pass is awesome!

I'm so pumped to see a game like this on Game Pass!! It alone has kept me subscribed to the service this month, tho the other games are definitely a bonus!

@cursethesemetalhands: Yeah its a bummer.

Is the gun in the behind the toilet thing a Godfather reference?

It's becoming crystal clear that a game that launches on Gamepass is of a certain quality. They talk about how they were rushed through production, so that's not a great sign.

I thought Outer Wilds was released earlier this year already?

Outer Worlds Quick Look! :D

...EX :(

I'm confused, which game is this?.. 🤣

I'm really excited for this. I'm loving what I've seen of this game so far and I've enjoyed every Obsidian game I've played.

Games like this make me miss GB not reviewing games anymore. I don't want to watch this ql and ruin the surprise of the game, I just want to know if they give it a thumbs up or down (or 4 or 5 stars or whatever) to know if I should spend time with it.

Super confusing why they stopped doing this.

I’m going to assume these guys are tired from their PR tour, but they didn’t seem jazzed about the state of their game.

Don't worry Brad, I was there with ya on the 'boot licker' thing.

I am all over this.

Reminds me a lot of how the developer of Dangerous Golf sounded in their Unfinished EX. A mix of tired and not giving off particularly confident vibes.

i love the way this game looks and i particularly am into the translucency of the skin ( the ears) but it's a huge bummer and super distracting how it's always the left ear and the light source is always coming from the same direction with every character in every scene

It's a neat looking world but the game looks pretty boring. It's going to be a solid pass for me.

This only made me more excited for it to come out.

I was a little down on this game before watching this quick look but it seems they really want to make a FUN game and it sounds like they are doing that, so I am going to wait and see instead of judging a book by it's cover. At first I wasn't sure if I would be into this due to the wacky humor which seems almost too Fallouty for my taste but the art and violence on display here is pretty great.

Targaryen family tree, ha - that's pretty clever

Excited to hear that it's a shorter game. Kind of done with endless worlds for awhile so I'm looking for something more compact.

Not available on Game Pass for PC... too bad.

What's with this game's lighting? During conversations, the character's left ear lights up as if they were hiding a flashlight behind their ear lobe, regardless of lighting conditions.

In any case, the game seems a lot more bland than I was expecting. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong on release.

@dryker: I'm pretty sure it will be on release day?

@dryker said:

I can see a pre-load option on Game Pass PC, seems to be included, I think.

Can't wait to play and never finish it.

@dryker: It is though

I feel like every time the subject of the games scope comes up the developers start to talk about their limited budget and how they try to keep the game small. It's a little disheartening to hear.

Just here to say I think the new quick look logo is an eyesore

What a lively and upbeat couple of individuals!

I'm glad this game is on Game Pass. Don't think I would play this otherwise.

oh no it's an ex. boring devs I guess I'm not getting this game. rollseyes

the comment section is on fire

this QL is good you get the whats-what straight from the devs before you play the game.

what skill early on.

reputation.

like a mini tutorial

I am so excited for this now. PC Game pass!

So is EX just a third tier, not an Unfinished because the development is done and the game's out in a week, but not a regular Quick Look because it's a guided vertical slice with members of the dev team? I was confused for a bit. The unfamiliar QL logo threw me even further off.

Yeah I noticed that too. It makes me worried the game is going to be pretty short.
