When you make a game that looks like Fallout, sounds like Fallout, plays like Fallout and you reveal as "From the Creators of Fallout New Vegas" people are going to expect Fallout New Vegas.

I mean it objectively didn’t look like any Fallout game, it certainly didn’t play like any Fallout game, and it was space opera not post-apocalyptic. But please explain to me exactly how it’s just like Fallout? And which Fallout exactly?

First person Sci-Fi RPG with heavy criticism of capitalism and a retro futuristic look.

That’s like saying Cyberpunk 2077 looks like Fallout.

[–] Renacles@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

Cyberpunk is part of the cyberpunk subgenre and has a premade main character.

Fallout is a post apocalyptic game set in a retro futuristic universe.

Outer Worlds is not post apocalyptic but being in barren planets in the frontier gives it a much more similar vibe. It's basically a spiritual successor to Fallout that falls short in a lot of aspects.

I don't think Outer Worlds is bad but if they couldn't live up to New Vegas they shouldn't have set the expectations they did.
