Idle camera pulls out to 3rd person, but development time/costs is the reason they choose first person over third.

Epic Store launch exclusive

I do not have one game on that launcher but at this point might as well download it.

Well, that killed my hype for that game on PC. After all the shady shit the Epic games launcher has done to people. No fucking thanks. Gonna just get it on xbox.

Obsidian clarified that it will also release on the Windows Store, but all other PC platforms have to wait a year.

Eh either way. I was already apprehensive when they mentioned it won't be open world. I'll probably just wait the year to get a deluxe version on steam.

Private Division and Obsidian Entertainment today announced The Outer Worlds is now available for preorder and will launch on October 25, 2019 across the Xbox One family of devices, including Xbox One X, on the PlayStation 4 system, and on Windows PC.

From the renowned RPG developer, Obsidian Entertainment, comes The Outer Worlds, a dark and witty player-driven story set in a colony at the farthest reaches of the galaxy. As the cold, firm grasp of corporate bureaucracy starts to unravel due to one unknown visitor – you – the character that you decide to become - will determine how the story unfolds. Your choices will affect the way the story develops, as well as your character progression, companion stories, and endgame scenarios.

“When I found myself contractually obligated to work with Leonard, we decided to make the game we always wanted," said Tim Cain, Co-Game Director at Obsidian. "A game where player agency matters, and allows you to approach any situation however you'd like. Because it's your story. And, because we haven't figured out how to contractually oblige you to play how we want you to. Yet.”

The Outer Worlds presents you with a variety of options to play through the game. With an array of ranged and melee sci-fi weaponry at your disposal, you can also solve issues with good, old-fashioned spoken diplomacy, or even leadership-driven delegation to your companions.

"All kidding aside," said Leonard Boyarsky, Co-Game Director at Obsidian, "Tim is truly honored to be working with me again on a game that focuses not only on a player-driven story, but also on establishing a new universe that is fun for players to explore with depth, humor, and corporate approved action."

“Obsidian has such a great history when it comes to creating exceptional single-player RPGs,” said Allen Murray, Vice President of Production. “The Outer Worlds is unmistakably an Obsidian game, delivering an experience rich with dark humor, interesting characters, and plenty of player agency.”

I swear that introduction VA is the person who voiced the Atlas DLC for Borderlands 1.

So this is Epic Store exclusive? Guess I'm not buying it on pc atm

We thinking buying an Obsidian game on PS4 might be a bad idea?

[Krandor]

On PC it's EGS and Microsoft store, also part of the PC Game Pass from launch.

Heard/watched a thing saying it's between 15-40 hours of game play depending on the person. Game looks cool, but with that being the estimated time of play, EGS, and for me it being first person I'll wait for sub $10.

But it's not egs exclusive lol. Some of yall just go pants on head crazy over egs

The game being on gamepass at launch is just bonkers. Cant believe the value you get from that service. Seen a lot of positive coverage for this game making it out to be mass effect meets fallout and I'm all for it. With zero barrier to entry for me, it's a day 1.

Is it on Steam? No? Then there is some EGS exclusivity at work here.
