Being the most expensive Xbox game to date, fans have some high expectations for The Outer Worlds 2, especially after how the studio Obsidian Entertainment has scaled up since then.
The first entry was quite an enjoyable RPG, but still far from perfect. For the sequel, Obsidian Entertainment acknowledged those issues with the intent of fixing them. The biggest flaw was the combat, and to fix that, Halo Studios has been assisting in the development of The Outer Worlds 2.
Why it matters: If anyone knows how to nail combat in FPS games, it’s Halo Studios. Their expertise will surely help refine The Outer Worlds 2 as a solid and outstanding title.
Talking to The Guardian, The Outer Worlds 2 game director Brandon Adler knew that they had to overhaul the combat with the sequel. As such, they consulted Halo Studios for suggestions and guidance.
We also talked to the Halo folks … They gave us a huge list of stuff and said, ‘You guys should target this … you should add that to your weapon configurations.
Beyond Halo, Obsidian Entertainment also did a whole breakdown of Bungie’s Destiny because they loved how the game’s combat felt.
Their research has paid off well now that The Outer Worlds features a vast arsenal of weapons that are both suitable for guns blazing or a stealth approach.
According to Adler, every weapon in the game will feel different. Additionally, customisation options will also transform the guns and how they feel.
Aside from Halo Studios, Fallout creator Tim Cain is also working as a consultant for The Outer Worlds 2, which only guarantees the game’s success. Obsidian Entertainment’s work has also reminded Tim of his original creations, which is only a sign of greater things to come.
What are your expectations for The Outer Worlds 2? Do you think that these details make the game deserving of a $80 price tag? Let us know in the comments below, or at the official Tech4Gamers Forums.
