So Avowed is vaporware at this point
Wormerine replied to Grimo88's topic in Avowed: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I see. To me that announcement meant nothing beyond Avowed being a thing Obsidian worked on - Like many announcements in that presentation I treated it as XBOX showing off their recent purchases rather then actual announcements. Specifically Avowed seemed like devs have nothing to show beyond a very basic pitch - very much like later Outer Worlds2 CGI trailer, or ElderScrolls6. -

I don't see it that way - if anything I wish publishers/devs wouldn't advertise their games until they are close to release. See Bethesda - they tend to keep things to themselves until the game is at "coming together" point. I don't know how old Obsidian acted - unless you mean crowdfunding Obsidian, which is a very different thing. We are not source of fuding during development so Obs can focus on making the game, rather then keeping fans engaged throughout the development process. They are also in the position to do course corrections - something that PoE1&2 would greatly benefit from. I don't remember hearing much about other not-crowdfunded Obsidian games - especially Outer Worlds were roumored for a long time before being shown. And Avowed is larger still. Another thing is, that games like Avowed, Fable and Hellblade2 have a lot of importance to Microsoft - those will be first big budget productions made under Microsoft umbrella. A nieche unfinished cult classic just won't cut it. So far with Psychonauts2, Redfall, Starfield Microsoft didn't flinch from giving teams more dev time. I just hope everything is going alright there, as I really, really, really want Avowed to be good. -
Avowed Development Issues

It is still possible we will see something on a later date - like Game Awards. -

No? None of the games I am interested in from the showcase are from Bethesda. Just wanted to releave@Keyrockrfrom having to post every trailer from the showcase. -

Eh, they don't try to make an e-sport out of DIablo Immortal. -

It's not a disaster but I am getting a bit worried. Big project, new IP - it can take time. It is frustrating to not see anything after initial trailer, but it was also early trailer - XBOX showing off with stuff it has in works, without any of the projects ready to be shown. Bigger games can take a decent number of years to be completed and there can be changes in direction - it doesn't necessariily mean the game is in development hell. I am not too worried just yet - it's been known that XBOX got a lot of games to show off, and they focused on the next 12 months, with big releases being Redfall and Starfield. We haven't seen Fable, Avowed nor Hellblade - from Hellblade at least we got gameplay(?) or in-engine footage. I am disappointed, but didn't give up on the project just yet. -

Klei's new game. I used to adore these guys, but I just didn't connect with their last two releases (ONI and Griflands). At least they don't repeat themselves much.. which is a shame, I would love Invisible Inc.2. -

Avowed Development Issues
Wormerine replied to Sanjid099's topic in Avowed: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
As someone who cares for this project not only because it might be a game I like, but an extention of an IP that I like - I am worried of course. I hoped that Obsidian had a pretty good idea of what they want to do with IP, though honestly reasons for reboots could be many. It is disappointed after constantly hearing reports that Avowed is progressing well. I am mostly disappointed because I genuilly expected to see Avowed today on the showcase. At the same time, like with delays, it is better to do a course correction, then release something fundamentally not fun. Good luck and my best wishes to the dev team. I shall be waiting for the news. If you want to scrap Avowed and do proper Pillars of Eternity3 I won't complain -

Pity-Party Thread
Wormerine replied to Wormerine's topic in Avowed: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
Yeah.... not mine either. Pentiment and Cocoon are the stoundouts for me. Silksong of course, whenever it releases. Glad about Persona5 coming to PC. I get that Avowed is not releasing in next 12ve months.. but nothing? Not even a short trailer for Gamefest? -
