I feel like the lore team had access to the simpsons Time Machine and saw that there would be a big Re-release for the game and it would suck, and decided to make Spacers Choice the s*** corporate propaganda mascot for the game just to call the garbage re-release “Spacers Choice”
On series x this game is a stuttering mess, not to mention I couldn't even bring my save over. There was no point in buying this. Plus every time I load the game. EVERY TIME. I have to scroll the disclaimer. I have been trying to finish the gorgon dlc since it came out and I thought performance would finally be fixed, only to find out that not only hasn't it been fixed, but I'd have to start the whole thing over anyways. I mean come on.
so devs who weren't the original devs, had to rush to make an upgraded version before licensing expired, promptly got fired after release because they were now redundant, seems like an all around terrible situation for everyone, not just obsidian.
Honestly sounds like how obsidian deserves it. Remember they threatened Chris Avalon with lawyers because his contract said he couldn’t work did another game studio- which they fired him for demanding they pay their staff who made fallout new vegas the way it was- even if it was broken beyond belief during early release
It's about what I expect from Private Division/2K. When I heard that Kerbal Space Program 2 would be developed or published by these guys, I knew even back when we saw nothing of the game that it would run like shit. Seeing it done to The Outer Worlds is just....heartbreaking and infuriating. I'm so glad Microsoft owns Obsidian Entertainment now.
Yeah i don't think i will buy KSP2, i don't want to give money to these jerks, i have KSP1 anyway, nobody needs KSP2. KSP2 has features mods have had for years, so there is no need to give money to Take2. Fck them all.
@@wyattutz thats false. Especially since amds fastest processor at the time was an FX 8150 bulldozer. Also ksp 1 wasnt produced by a AAA studio with a full team.
It's fairly clear that Private Division forced KSP2 to go into early access ahead of schedule. The team behind that game definitely has passion and will work to make it playable.
@@memyselfishness I don't know, they did a tiny marketing campaign before announcing the Early Acess. They had it planned from months. All i can say is that we cannot trust Take2/PrivateDivision. I hope we can trust in Intercept Games. All i can really ask is that they keep modding extremely easy, that way we won't need to worry of the suits shutting down the game.
Just received the spacers choice ad again and as of right now if you rewatch it the first thing that it shows you is Obsidians name. I’m speculative that not only was it a cash grab, they are trying to imply they took a backseat roll and maybe even hoped people wouldn’t have done their research and blamed Obsidian over Pirate Division
Everyone knows Obsidian makes good shit and that this game is kinda like Fallout New Vegas. So it's really annoying that they're dragging these beloved names through the mud with their typical corporate bullshit. The irony is so deep, it's painful, I'm cringing on a spiritual level.
FTL Faster Than Light gave PC gamers the upgrade for free to market the Ipad editon. Probably never would have unlocked the Crystal ship without Rock C, even if ironically the upgrade nerfed it by simply having manned stations so you can't instantly teleport in and lock down critical rooms without any resistance.
When I first clicked this I was in shock anyone would say this, but you did an excellent job explaining how it's not obsidian's fault, and now it makes perfect sense.
Hope so. We've never seen Obsidian have a AAA budget before. I guess we had New Vegas, but that was done with a short development time so I'm looking forward to seeing what the studio is capable of without being heavily restricted by time or budget.
It's kind of funny Starfield is finally getting a release date after Bethesda decided the game needed more time while The Outer Worlds got a rushed re-release the devs didn't even have a chance to be involved in.
People who never played the main game, should still play the spacer choise instead because the over long constant loading screens in the main game are unbearable and underestimating people's time.
The Outer Worlds Spacers Choice Edition , I decided to play this game because alot of people said it was amazing and I got it free on epic so I gave it a chance . but the problem is the frames I cant even play it because of slowing down movement even when playing on medium its still bad I play red dead redemption 2 and dying light 2 on my laptop with good graphics , frames and cpu .
I love atmosphere and aesthetics, in my opinion they're some of the most important facets when it comes to games. The right vibe can make or break a game. The original was very pretty looking and I really liked it, so it's disheartening to see it retroactively ruined. That orange filter is downright gross.
The Outer Worlds 2 trailer had more care put into it than this soulless release. I have seen many comparison shots between the original and this new downgrade, and I have to say a few looked pretty good. More than anything though they totally messed up the color grading that destroys the entire aesthetic of the game. I knew when I bought The Outer Worlds it was a AA game that lacked the funding they needed to go all in. I loved it regardless and have done multiple play throughs. With Microsoft’s financial backing, but more importantly the team and creators itself, I can only become even more giddy over Outer Worlds 2.
I'm so glad they had nothing to do with this sham, though I wish they stated that in bright text. Their name brand has a certain quality associated with it after Fallout New Vegas, so maybe not showing either way was done by Microsoft for marketing? idk this whole thing sucks, I'll stick to mods too
First/third person open world RPGs (Fallout, TES, Witcher, etc) are also my favourite genre. It's a damn shame that the publisher is tainting the reputation of this game.
Don't listen to this guy. he made this review 1 year ago, at launch. Patch 1.3 came out 9 months ago and has fixed the performance issues. Dont miss out on the epic grab cause you may think it wont run on anything below a 3080ti.
I got this game for free on Prime gaming, idk what ur smoking g. The frame rates I'm getting are abnormally low for its graphical intensity. Also the story areas feel like the saturation is turned up to 11. (Again, free is free, still digging it)
I downloaded it thinking awesome, free enhanced edition of a game I already love. I literally assumed it would add things like dlss since I have a 3080 and play at 4k. Is it still running terribly? Because I don't want to have to drop to 1440p AND turn down the graphics a ton when the original game ran fine for me @@HP-ws2vx
I bought Spacer's Choice on sale because I thought it was just they typical special edition release with all the DLC and found this video while trying to figure out why it's unplayable lol. Here I was thinking Outer Worlds as a whole was a broken game, I wouldn't have thought that they broke it in the re-release. Thanks for making this video!
Sadly I have to agree, as soon as I got out of the drop module I was not impressed. Played the original on PS4 and now got the SCEdition on PS5 and regretting I have spend the money. Just not enjoying it visually at all! Definitely, did not feel this way with the original! Such a shame.....
With a 4090, 5800x3d and 32gig of ram I get around 30ish fps with maxed out settings. I was able to tweak the settings to get around a hundred but I shouldn't have to. I'm glad you made this video.
I have the same setup. Even when dropping some settings to get 100ish fps @ 1440p I would still get these constant stutters with frame dips down to 15 fps. It feels almost unplayable in it's current state
Agreed. While I bought the original it basically sat on my game shelf unplayed until I had a sudden urge to get into it recently. Got the Spacer's Choice edition and am having a ball. I really like the game. If there are graphical issues I haven't noticed.
@@stealthkillah122 totally fine… but one of my saves got bugged really badly and PS5 doesn’t allow you to delete saves. So just make one save, maybe two. If you do a third play through, just save over one of the other saves
It's funny the Epic is always giving this edition for free, when in every other instance they would never dare to give out the edition of a game that includes all side content.
it's sad to see people put their heart and soul in something for awhile just for a bigger corporate or a higher up later to come and destroy everything they've built
Thanks for the tip. I thought the spacers choice edition was just the base game with dlc, I didn't realize they tried to "upgrade" the visuals. I still with the base game
"Dynamic Resolution" just means the game will scale the game's internal resolution to meet the target framerate, but you said you didn't see any difference so it's likely not functioning as intended.
Unfortunately, I *really* did not like original Outer Worlds either, from the gameplay, writing (especially), and graphics. I kinda hope they just make a new ip.
Been playing on that version for a couple of days now. It’s playable, tbh I don’t miss the crunchy nature of the original in a lot of cases. Nr 1 complaint about this version would be how they handle the absence of light. As it is just making everything fully blacked out is not working and I agree. Still I find it somehow easier to read in a lot of cases. Which I cannot point to a specific reason for that other then the better aliasing in places? Dunno. People need to play this game more
I really wish i listened to you man, i thought by now it would of been fixed. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BUY THE SPACERS CHOICE EDITION. Save yourself the time and money and just by the regular version, this soul-less cashgrab runs awfully and has a load of popping textures every 2 seconds.
I unfortunately got this version and nearing the end, my saves kept corrupting. 4 patches later, nothing changed. Found out nothing more will be coming. . . Yep, stay away.
I have almost the same exact system as Tyler: Windows 11, an i9-12900 CPU, and a RTX-3080 @ 1440. I too was getting well over 200 FPS on the original game. They must have made some changes to the game engine since this video. I downloaded this new version on July 2nd. I am getting a solid 160FPS, with everything on Ultra, and FSR 2 is on "Quality." I actually went into the game settings and throttled it down to 120 FPS, because I don't need to push my GPU that hard. I almost didn't buy this Spacer's Edition because of videos like this.
To anyone naïve enough to think that Tim Caine and Leonard Boyarsky won't be blamed for this re-release, remember that everyone blamed Bioware for ME3's awful endings, not EA.
I got this game through Humble Monthly and I've been struggling to get it to run at all. I keep getting "Out of video memory" crashes even during the most mundane scenarios. I haven't even made it far past the tutorial mission because of this. Like now, just right now, my game crashed loading in to the ship at the beginning. I'm gaming at 1080p, medium graphics, with special effects, like global illumination, turned off, on a 1060 with 6GB of VRAM. I could reasonably play Cyberpunk 2077. Somehow THIS game runs out of video memory.
And now also on PS plus extra/premium put it for free and for someone who played the standard edition back it on launch and loved the game, the spacer choice edition it's comically worse than the old one.
@@turkwarrior2 has someone who played both, I believe the original version it's SOMEHOW better in most ways, faster loading screen, less dumb AI, waaaay less bug and overhaul better than the "next gen version".
This was terrible; The fans on my GPU were just A'SCREAMIN' when I fired it up. I truly hope they fix this; The Outer Worlds is too decent a game to have the next-gen port be THAT bad!
People who never played TOW are getting the Spacer's Choice. They're writing reviews that are overly harsh on stuff like the gameplay, because the performance issues are ruining their whole experience. They have no idea that the original game is a masterpiece. It's so sad. I don't want anyone to miss out on TOW proper.
I've seen this dropping below 30 FPS on a i9-13900K + RTX 4090! Also, a 3070 is only managing 45 FPS at 1080p. That's just inexcusable when my old 1070 (I currently have a 3060 Ti) was able to run the original at 60!
I bought this game today, played for an hour and I couldn't handle the terrible performance and refunded it. This was genuinely awful, I have a 3060 ti, i5 12400 and 16gb of ddr4 ram and I couldn't run it at 1080p at max settings without dipping into 40 fps and massive stutters.
Even putting aside the awful performance, I agree with you that the visual upgrades aren’t good. Certainly not worthy of the praise many TH-cam channels are giving it. The colors are oversaturated, especially on the red/orange end of the color spectrum. The new lighting makes everything look cartoony, but especially close up NPC faces which now take on a quasi-cel shaded quality, making them look almost Borderlands-ish. Areas that were once dark and gritty are now bright and colorful. They went overboard adding new neon and cranking the contrast to max. In many places I can only describe the new visual look as garish. Too bright, too busy, too distracting. While adding very little of meaning to the core game except flashiness.
I’m so glad I searched about the spacers choice. Already played the original a while back and was interested in SC since it’s on sale in the PS store rn for like $30~ 💀 was wondering why a recent “next-gen” upgrade got discounted so soon… well now I know. Thanks for the info I’ll just replay the ps4 version. It’s backwards compatible on ps5 anyways.
Grab the original while you can because more than likely, this will replace it and they will take the original off the store. This was done with Dragon Quest 11.
Well , when you let a company who stuffs sawdust and sprats into their saltuna try their hand at game development ... Does it surprise you that they turn a game which runs at 200fps into something which runs at 40fps? The irony would be complete if they used dlss3 frame generation to add some sawdust frames into your video game to make it perform right ;)

I was interested until I've read enough similar reviews basicly stating the game is terribly medicore/uninspired.
@@tomasz79tom54 you can skip the rest of the game when you get off the first planet
No, you don't.
@@tomasz79tom54 yup, bad game
To be fair, I also heard some people liked it (as did Tyler), but it kinda made me not care to try.
Calling it "Spacer's Choice Edition" is quite lore accurate if you ask me.
The marketing team 100% knew what they were doing
Remaster quality accurate as it is "not the best choice"
I feel like the lore team had access to the simpsons Time Machine and saw that there would be a big Re-release for the game and it would suck, and decided to make Spacers Choice the s*** corporate propaganda mascot for the game just to call the garbage re-release “Spacers Choice”

Loved the Outer Worlds. Bought "Spacer's Choice Edition". Played 45 min. Got a refund!
Apparently the Koch owned Private Division took the Spacers Choice jingle to heart and drew inspiration.
I guess we should have known when they called it the "Spacer's Choice Edition". 😄
...We're never going to get another Fallout game by Obsidian with people like this around them.
I appreciate that you brought this to the attention of a large audience.
This summer is gonna be really good for gaming news i feel. Can't wait to see Avowed.
It was made by Virtuous Games, the same people that shat out Return to Arkham
Forcing the "9/10" star reviews in your face = instant bad game.
Tiny little reminder: the next-gen patch and content update for The Witcher 3 was FREE.

It was bad before but now the game play matches the story quality.
The game is very optimized now, and it's way better than the original in every way.
Spacer's Choice Edition > Starfield.
Is it fixed right now?
Ye
Can I play it in third person yet?
I got this game through Humble Monthly and I've been struggling to get it to run at all.
I keep getting "Out of video memory" crashes even during the most mundane scenarios. I haven't even made it far past the tutorial mission because of this.
Like now, just right now, my game crashed loading in to the ship at the beginning. I'm gaming at 1080p, medium graphics, with special effects, like global illumination, turned off, on a 1060 with 6GB of VRAM.
I could reasonably play Cyberpunk 2077.
Somehow THIS game runs out of video memory.
This is why epic gave it for free 😂💀
True
And now also on PS plus extra/premium put it for free and for someone who played the standard edition back it on launch and loved the game, the spacer choice edition it's comically worse than the old one.
didnt even know it was free before it free again has it improved? i already own base game and dlc was thinking of playing upgraded version
@@turkwarrior2 has someone who played both, I believe the original version it's SOMEHOW better in most ways, faster loading screen, less dumb AI, waaaay less bug and overhaul better than the "next gen version".
This was terrible; The fans on my GPU were just A'SCREAMIN' when I fired it up.
I truly hope they fix this; The Outer Worlds is too decent a game to have the next-gen port be THAT bad!
People who never played TOW are getting the Spacer's Choice.
They're writing reviews that are overly harsh on stuff like the gameplay, because the performance issues are ruining their whole experience.
They have no idea that the original game is a masterpiece. It's so sad. I don't want anyone to miss out on TOW proper.
I've seen this dropping below 30 FPS on a i9-13900K + RTX 4090!
Also, a 3070 is only managing 45 FPS at 1080p. That's just inexcusable when my old 1070 (I currently have a 3060 Ti) was able to run the original at 60!
I bought this game today, played for an hour and I couldn't handle the terrible performance and refunded it. This was genuinely awful, I have a 3060 ti, i5 12400 and 16gb of ddr4 ram and I couldn't run it at 1080p at max settings without dipping into 40 fps and massive stutters.
Even putting aside the awful performance, I agree with you that the visual upgrades aren’t good. Certainly not worthy of the praise many TH-cam channels are giving it. The colors are oversaturated, especially on the red/orange end of the color spectrum. The new lighting makes everything look cartoony, but especially close up NPC faces which now take on a quasi-cel shaded quality, making them look almost Borderlands-ish. Areas that were once dark and gritty are now bright and colorful. They went overboard adding new neon and cranking the contrast to max.
In many places I can only describe the new visual look as garish. Too bright, too busy, too distracting. While adding very little of meaning to the core game except flashiness.
epic: Yeah? well take it for free **slam it in their users face**
I’m so glad I searched about the spacers choice. Already played the original a while back and was interested in SC since it’s on sale in the PS store rn for like $30~ 💀 was wondering why a recent “next-gen” upgrade got discounted so soon… well now I know. Thanks for the info
I’ll just replay the ps4 version. It’s backwards compatible on ps5 anyways.
Good lord I just played it right now everything is so dark and I got dizzy from the gameplay.
What if you get the game fully for free for Christmas on Epic Games?.
But why if they have nothing to do with this " upgrade" their Twitter page ( obsidian page) is full of advertising for this spacer choice???
They probably have to still promote it, as it's still a game they produced
@@pixeljacked8047 but damn their whole page is dedicated to this cash grab
Working on getting my refund from PlayStation as I’m commenting this 😢 I was so excited
Yeah it's sad. And good luck with the refund
@@--PaZuZu-- thank you! The refund process is mad confusing but I got it done!
@@Adeusaii Good! Glad you got your money back. 👍😊
Grab the original while you can because more than likely, this will replace it and they will take the original off the store. This was done with Dragon Quest 11.
Those who come from epic games
you know what they said. "It's not the best choice. it's spacer's choice"
After what 2k/Take two did with GTA trilogy... I suppose this was expected.
Facts!
I just refunded it on Steam. Thanks for this video, Tyler! 👍
idk why people hate The Outer Worlds so much, it was pretty fun for the 20+ hours i played of it but maybe I missed smthn
Its free on epic games this week.
It's not the best choice, it's Spacer's Choice!!!
Well , when you let a company who stuffs sawdust and sprats into their saltuna try their hand at game development ... Does it surprise you that they turn a game which runs at 200fps into something which runs at 40fps? The irony would be complete if they used dlss3 frame generation to add some sawdust frames into your video game to make it perform right ;)
so theres no texture upgrades tho? or shadow upgrades and such?
