The amount of earnestness and transparency is unprecedented and awesome. These two are now my favorite developers.
Only now?!
29:47 "Half the fun of these types of games is getting your ass kicked then coming back and dealing some damage".
Haha, the beginning of New Vegas and heading off exploring out of the wrong way of Goodsprings and getting destroyed by Cazadors. Damn.
Or exploring the Valley behind Goodsprings Cemetary and getting destroyed by a whole hoard of Giant Radscorpions.
or going immediately north to new vegas and getting violated by deathclaws at quarry junction
You aint lying, they fast and when they sting you- your vision gets all blurry, and if there's more than one, you're pretty much assed out. They're easily one of the fiercest enemies in the game.
I have fun memories of getting unapologetically destroyed by everything north of Goodsprings for the first half of the game.
@@christopher.tomins2001 I like my sister and my quote when we first saw cazadors.
me: Oh those are just fucking flies, just shoot them and they'll die.
Sister: Okay, *starts shooting them with a varmit rifle* What the fuck, they ain't dying... and they are doing damage.
Me: oh...
sister: OH SHIAT THEY ARE DESTROYING ME ARGHHHHHH
me: ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*she dies*
Me and her both: FUCK CAZADORS!!!!. Good times.
I love this in depth coverage by game informer. More of the same please.
Thanks, Ahmed! We do this every month, so stick around!
@@yozetty Honestly this has been the most satisfying game coverage I've seen. Hopefully more and more devs will do this long form journalism with you. It's sorely needed. Great job, guys.
@@yozetty agreed it was great coverage and obsidian are awesome. But please don't do a cover story on EA or Activision; they're a plague on this industry
I really love how honest and detailed Leonard is being with his answers. Could listen to him talk about games for hours

As someone that played New Vegas as a melee character that melee playthrough question made me happy.
Same.
curious as to what you used? Example: Nephi'[s Golf driver
Yes I’m a big melee player lol
Props to you melee players out there. You mad lads.
@@harleyx7332 I did a melee play through it was my longest and most enjoyable play through. I used the shishkebab with perks that buffed it and armour that increased crit, it was godlike. I could one hit anything in the game most of the time iirc lol
I'm such a nerd that ONE HOUR of Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky makes me legitimately scream in joy.
U are not alone!
They seem genuinely happy and excited to talk ab their game, not just as a pitch like a certain Tod we know
@@DefyingPenguin first off stop they don't like that Tim and Lenard I mean..Todd Howard is well he does love his his company he does love his works most of his arce Morrowind and Oblivion and you can tell because he loves them and they were beautifully done you may not like everything about the games but written why is that were really well done. It comes to things like Fallout they and these guys just have to agree to disagree and walk away. But they don't want you trashing it or him.they say that there's enough room for everyone to have a game out there and be enjoyed and you know it sucks you don't like it but you know don't leave it on one of their videos.
@@christyshultz6443 1) it's a joke
2) Todd lies... alot (at least recently)
This is how video games should be made and communicated to the people! I truly hope Outer Worlds takes off and allows the developers to stay private so they can bring more gems to the industry. Well done Obsidian and Priv. Div.!
Private Division is Microsoft.
Chandler Hefley Have you been living under a Rock or something? You do realise Obsidian are owned by Microsoft right?
@@lewisconnor5053 I'm just glad the Obsidian is going to stay alive. They've almost went bankrupt multiple times. I'm so glad that they are getting the chance to work on something like The Outer Worlds.
Man, Tim and Leonard are awesome. That was a really entertaining interview.
Things are finally starting to get better. All the big AAA developers like Blizzard, Bethesda and EA have finally worn their welcome out with the general public and now good developers like Obsidian are finally getting the opportunity they deserve.
@Ywe 88 Obsidian is already owned by Microsoft, this is their last game that isn't under Microsoft control.
The future is uncertain but I think that the gaming demographic is growing up a bit. At this point, EA, Bethesda, Blizzard/Activision, Ubi - they are all like junkies resorting to all sorts of literal criminal behavior, lying and the shameful destruction of actual, passionate developers to get that money.
Dude.....so ONE stinker of a game lets Bethesda be compared to EA who has been doing it for years and destroying other companies?!?! Ummm not quite yet dude.
@@lunarvania8073 one? And lets not forget all the ways they repacked Skyrim.
@@toribiogubert7729 not to mention the paid mods they added to their games
I am glad they agree that a Silent protag is the best choice for an RPG game that has dialogue choices! more rpgs need to go back to the old silent protag days!!
I am so happy to see that honest and passionate devs still exist in this industry, I reaaly enjoyed this video.
So rare for a developer to say the words, "Hopefully people will mod it" when discussing their game. These guys are awesome.
This is like torture for me hearing so much about this game without being able to play it.
Well it's supposed to be a preview for a reason it comes out next year I'm fairly sure that's about as close as you're going to get on a date for release.because unlike a lot of gamers they make sure that their game is done and it changes like what they're talkin about right now can be made that's why they have the Q&A if someone wants something or doesn't like an idea then they'll consider it they can't promise anything but they'll consider it. But I do feel you on wanting to play it now.. it sucks having to wait so long.
That's the old-school way. Ask a question and it gets answered, simply and plainly. Love it! Keep it up, guys!
We've always loved the work this studio has done. Their being a well groomed creative duo as the directors is awesome icing on the cake. I'm super excited to be getting into their universe again, even if I will always long for some more continuation from the New California story.
Have really loved getting to spend time with these devs, really interesting and candid. Cant wait to give them some money and play their work!
Tim Cain's smile
This month of coverage has been my favorite Game Informer thing ever. I have subbed to the magazine on and off for probably 15 years but all in all I have loved the these Outer Worlds videos so much.
Lol that would be funny/awesome if that one person's question changed the HUD options on the game.
i was just thinking the same, you could tell they were interested in it they didnt even think about it
Cain and Boyarsky are an absolute joy to watch and listen to. They have a wealth of experience making games and you can tell these guys are having a lot of fun making this game-or at least hiding the crippling stress very well.
wow, amazing how these developers just say "we'll put that down on our list"... THAT'S fan interaction for ya!
Yeah no promises but they'll consider it they must be in firm post-production right now this is when if you're going to make changes they need to really make them because it comes out next year.
This is one of the best coverage of a game, team behind it and the studio ever! Thank you!
Thank YOU! Tell a friend!
If more people like these devs lead the gaming industry rather than the coporations of greed just think how badass games would be up to this point
Those people prefer to sell their companies for tons of money. They consult for a while and then the company is a corporate machine pushing out live services.
But yes, I agree with you. You need someone, who cares on the top
@@Demovitron at least Phil spencer let’s them do what they please
please let me say "i love you" to my spaceship /single manly tear
I do really want an Art book
Yeah the art style reminds me of a sort of 1940's mix with scifi thing.
Or a comic like New Vegas had
I don't think he's joking you probably will get an art book.I seen that look before he usually gets his way on the show for the most part but Tim gets his way usually when it comes to stuff like that.
You mentioned Vampire Bloodlines, so someone has just reinstalled it. ;)
raises hand
Mr. Tim Caine Looks sooooo excited
You've only been uploading top content these days, you're doing an awesome job!
When I saw them on stage at the game awards I almost fainted.
impressive work by game informer
I love how they still advocate for an unvoiced protagonist. That is something largely lost in modern AAA games
*cough cough* Fallout 4
I like voiced protagonists myself. I couldn't imagine a silent character in games like mass effect. Not having one doesn't bother me too much for an obsidian game though. Brings back that old school vibe from rpgs of the past. So I guess I'm a little torn on the issue.
This a big boi video. Better wait till I get home and watch it with my big boi drink.
Because I am a big boi.
Wow. what a big boi you are :o
But did the big boi get home¿
@@amouseduh9084 Big boi did get to his big boi home. It is a place only big bois like me can be.
@@starkiller23610 I'm loving this character development.
A mouse, duh this character development is even better than Arthur Morgan’s! And that one was incredible.
Thanks for all the coverage! Can't wait to play the game.
Metro Exodus is the perfect example of why every game doesn’t need to be open world. Well done guys. 💯
Paul Hayes exactly Paul. You’re exactly right. I played both 2033 and Last Light. Exodus is more open. Think sandbox survival. While not open world, open enough. The level of detail they’ve created in the game is one of the best. This series is definitely the most immersive game I’ve played.
@Player One Most awesome things is there so much dialogue in aurora and such a good characters interactions especially with Anna)
Thanks for asking the level scaling question, i was really curious thats why i submitted it, appreciated GameInformer!
There are so many great ideas they had to cut because of the budget. I'm already hoping for a Sequel, because to many ideas are so cool. :)
Who else here loves KOTOR 2? Best Star Wars game ever (if you install the restored content mod)
I liked it, but those problems that came from the rushed development really cut down the on my overall feelings for the game. Bad first impressions can really hurt.
@@BadgunmusicII That is completely understandable, but if you ever have the chance to play it on PC with the TSLRCM (The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod) then you definitely should. It restores A LOT of content that was completely/partially cut due to the rush. We're talking dialogue, missions, items, even an entire planet.
I might eventually. Got way too many games to play now as it is. I wanted to play it on the pc when it first came out but my pc either couldn’t handle it or the bugs were too bad. I couldn’t run cinematics when I first tried it and I had no idea what the hell was going on when I beat it.
sure, but the people in the video had nothing to do with it.
I actually only recently played through that game (finished last week). Great game.
Truly impressed by the in-depth coverage, thank you Game Informer and Obsidian!
Game informer is seriously overlooked on TH-cam. Incredible content as always guys, keep it up!
"Is The Outer Worlds gonna be in E3 this year?"
*silence, rising eyebrows* "We'll see."
So... it is coming *before* that?
Unlikely, given that they aren't even done with the VO yet.
16 yeah ... as soon as they said that I realized we still have a decent wait
Been playing borderlands 2 and I hope the dialogue and interactions are as clever and hilarious to listen to. Like the a.i radio trying to kill all humans with bad singing. So good.
I imagine it very much will be. Borderlands and Tim & Leonard's styles are quite similar, not to mention that this game looks to be on the Fallout 2 side of the dark comedy balance.
Great interview!
I love these hour long conversations that go in depth with the outerworlds. It's one of the few games that I feel genuinely excited for the lore/ mythos of the game
I can’t wait for this game bro 😔🤙
Great interview. Stoked for the game.
Really excited for this game. Nice coverage on this.
GREAT coverage and devs!
cant wait to play this game!
Just the candor and transparency of these two is SOOO refreshing. I was already a fan but if these two stay with the studio, I'm a fan for life.
They remind me of old school Bungie
Don't really follow Game Informer much, but have really loved this whole series on the Outer Worlds. Keep content like this up!
I’ve probably watched this like 5-6 times, i think what i love about this interview is you can tell that Leonard and Tim are fans of video games, even more modern ones. Its so humanizing and genuine
Great work here. You asked great questions I would've never thought I needed to know the answer to
Great video! Thank you!
great video. good questions and conversation
Good job guys. This is one of my most anticipated games and this coverage gave me a great idea what to expect. Looking forward to doing multiple playthroughs (definitely including a dumb character)
For some time now all my favorite games are coming from this studio. Can not wait for this game to be released. Really looking forward to getting my mitts on it.
This was fantastic. I always watch GIs content but I live these two. I really hope this game does amazing for these guys
Video starts at 3:10
Heh heh
thank you I was wondering when they would stop talking and get to the point
@@blakbear6528 literally can't wait 3 minutes? You're going to listen to an hour long video anyway.
@@Lucky_Limes Why the fuck would I willingly waste 3 minutes of my life when I can literally click one button and skip it.
I can't wait. I've done just about eveything in New Vegas and I'm so happy I can play a new game like this from them!
Can't wait to finish the second half of this
Game informer has gotten my attention
I'm So excited for this rpg
Thank you game informer
The king of RPG has returned
I wish Bioware would return as the king of RPGs too :'/
Don't know if you'll ever see this, but you guys seem very classy. Hope outer worlds sells well so you guys can keep on making rpg gems. With obsidian, larian studios, CDPR, possibly a new fable, and a few other rpgs from Japan, RPG's are in a relatively healthy spot.
one of my favorite things about kotor is the random banter between companions, i'm very happy to hear that's in the outer worlds
I gotta say, I absolutely love these devs. They are clearly glowing with pride and love what they're doing.
I would love to see Obsidian work on another Star Wars game.
It's never going to happen since EA has an exclusive license to the setting.
@@a_pet_rock only for a given time. Not forever.
I would give a leg for another kotor game, but considering Disney is focused on making the most profits off of the Star Wars brand as possible, even if they let obsidian or honestly BioWare make a game like kotor 3 it would 100% be rushed and not live up to the hype. Sadly since Disney are a bunch of money hungry fiends there is very little chance for another epic Star Wars rpg, especially considering Disney stated they were happy with how EA has been handling the license, which baffles me considering they’ve released 2 games in 6 years and they both have been completely lackluster. Point I’m trying to get to is that disney only understands money and not the gaming community, same with ea, so they will put out garbage games to make a quick buck before ever taking 4-5 years to make that one amazing game that everyone has been asking for for so long.
Tim and Leonard are great. People should be taking notes. This is how to talk about your game.
Loved this open dialogue between the public, Game Informers, and the developers/directors. It makes me happy to see than Tim and Leonard don't seem to burdened by having to make a call like this. Can you imagine EA sitting down and being open? lol. I think it's the reason why I bought Overwatch, because Jeff Kaplan & Michael Chu demonstrated a commitment to the fanbase and indeed to their own game. Hopefully this type of lighthearted and transparent marketing and discussion is a industry standard moving forward.
man, watching all these great game informer videos while it downloads...
These guys seem like really genuine people. From what I’m hearing this game seems like exactly what people want.
Well done, both sides. Looking forward to the game
The "look down and see your feet" question is an immersion thing. Takes away some of the immersion when you look down and see nothing.
This coverage has got me super interested in this game! :D
Much like you I'm very excited about getting the game and playing the game.
Looks like I'm going to be waiting another year to play it because the bastards have signed the game over to the Epic Games Store
Okay, for that initials joke about "no" you get a pat on the back. That aside you've just got a new sub, solid work on this game.
Looking forward to this game!
Love this in depth coverage stuff, hope you guys can interview CD Project Red too via Skype or face to face! Would love to hear all the details about that game.
I have just one request if I can after watching this great video Obsidian. Please, please make quest markers optional and add more info to the NPC or clues to find the location we need to go. Please, please...
MrGareth1973 The game is probably too far along but it’s not all bad. It will probably be closer to Deus Ex: MD than Morrowind
@@GreenEyedDazzler Yeah, I didn't want to mention Morrowind... Hope they will somehow manage it.
MrGareth1973 I really loved the navigation in Morrowind, because it was difficult at first. What about you? Is that the kind of gameplay you’d hope to see in an RPG again? :)
i would definitely by a book on Tims experience in the industry.
Fantastic coverage game informer. Hope next month's game is as interesting as the outer worlds was.
Changing the loadouts of companions. Oh thank god. I waited for this to be a thing again since ME1 and DA:O.
i love these two guys. really looking foward to play this game. i know some of the answers will disappoint certain people, but if we support this game, they will hv more time and budget, so this IP will get better and better. I just hope this game is open for modding, so we can fill the blank they left behind due to time and budget......
Okay, modders get to work on making “shit lizards” into the English version.
oh my gosh these are my favorite devs now for sure!!!
I love the fact that this devs are so open and talkative about their game. I wish more devs did this so people would be a better idea of what kind of game they are getting
I like the idea of a level cap because it forces you to have a character with strengths and weaknesses. That way, every character you have is unique.
36:25 - 4 word plot explanation: new vegas house ending
I'm a little sad that there's only 2 armor slots, but the fact that they seem enthusiastic about weapon modification makes me happy, that is more important anyways since the game is 1st person only and has actual effect on the gameplay
Awesome podcast... I'm even more interested in this game now, especially since Tim and others at the studio are huge Futurama fans. I'm also excited this game is releasing in 2019! Well, it's scheduled to, we'll see how that goes :)
i think to fix the melee only build issue you can just have a skill when upon a charge/heavy attack you boost forward a certain distance and when come incontact with some thing you hit it
So far this is one of my most anticipated games of 2019. I throughly enjoyed New Vegas and the guys who made that making an original IP has me really hyped
I love platinuming FallOut... Supernova sounds crazy just for that 🏆😭 can’t wait
love all the outer worlds info lately :). every single time I hear them talk about monarch I cant help but think if its a reference of the Godzilla 2014 universe lol.
AHHH IM SO EXCITED
I'm going to buy this first bcoz it's amazing and second and more importantly that the developer are honest and straight forward no bullshitting the gamers. I hope amazing developers like these gentlemen reach big and hit big, they deserve it. Keep up the good work.
This is great!
The guy in the thumbnail reminds me of the guy on the cover of Dicko Mode and I can't unsee it no matter how much I want to.
This guys are responsibly for all my favourite games!
