Surviving in Avalon’s unforgiving habitat requires strategic planning and organization.

Question

I'd appreciate any advice on adapting to life in Avalon, a place I hear is particularly brutal.

Answer 1

Clever way of doing a character creator

Comments

It’s kinda similar to that of Lego DC Supervillains

---

the entire trailer was clever, they showed things one by one and when I thought they were done they introduced freaking time manipulation and different political outcomes in the city.

---

THAT's what that was!  I had it in my head that this was a detective game for a hot minute.

---

as someone who loves character creators I agree! I also like RPing in games so i will try fix a role in my head like 'this is a swindling lady who pickpockets' or 'this is a giant brute guy who gets aggressive at the slightest touch' so I feel someone saying your characteristics out loud to start would really sell that RP vibe

---

its very rare where a game shows what their character creation / character build in the content like this

---

Def Jam: Fight for New York also did something like this

---

I'm a sucker for character creators that play into the worldbuilding like how this and outer worlds did it

---

You missed "Dishonored"

Answer 2

I was sold immediately, and it just kept getting better.

Comments

is your pfp mad donkey from lies of P?

---

Same!!!

---

It seems too good to be true, I just can’t trust trailers with no release date anymore

---

Same buh sadly it's for Xbox

---

Ok bot.

---

Facts, the longer the trailer went the deeper I locked in


I was blown away, it had literally everything I would want in a story driven fps

---

Bot

---

I think I'm mesmerizing.

---

Ironically the first part is exactly what turned me off. That gun play looks good to you?

---

Buddy, I'm sold when I saw the rich man scared himself, fainted and pissed himself...

That's when I knew this game is gonna be the Goat and I love it.

Answer 3

THIS is how you market a game! What a trailer!

Comments

It's got actual gameplay too?!?

Answer 4

So it’s a steampunk fusion of Bioshock, Singularity and Fallout?…
BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!

Comments

And also Syberia's.

---

“X GAME PLUS Y GAME PLUS Z GAME COMBINED POG”

---

Dishonored was my first impression.

---

Can't edit for the insane plot twists and maybe Easter Eggs

---

Don’t forget TimeShift

Answer 5

This is like Bioshock Infinite and Dishonored.

Comments

With a little bit of The Order 1886 added in

---

EXACTLY lol!

---

Almost typed that then seen I'm not the only one.

---

So I'll pass. I rather play old Dishonored than risk paying for another bioshock.

---

but closer to outer worlds, because of humor and steampunk
And i thought it's from obsidian or arkane

Answer 6

Leave it to something not called "punk" in the name to actually deliver something punk. This actually looks really cool.

Comments

Frostpunk?

---

the use of "punk" as a genre descriptor came from the cultural movement. The dilution into a solely aesthetic term comes from people misunderstanding the origins of the naming trend.

---

Uhmm last I checked V from Cyberpunk is pretty punk as they go against authority and are for the little guy 90% of the time or depending on your playthrough.

---

and i think alice in wonderland sort off by the way their apparently making the characters

---

Bioshock Infinite came out forever ago. Nobody talks about Infinite anymore.

Answer 7

This game looks so good. And it has a character creator- plus we see them in the cutscenes and conversations. Great choice by the devs.

Comments

thats a low bar you set haha

---

Not really. I simply just am expressing that I think it was a good idea to take the approach they did with a game with such an interesting world and style.

Answer 8

"The hunters don't like it when the rabbit's got the gun."
Not bad, not bad at all.
I definitely feel a lot of Dishonored and Bioshock Infinite in this game's DNA. I'm on board. I came for the steampunk and stayed for everything else.

Comments

I wish there was Dishonored in this but linear environments and no stealth gameplay sort of ruin that prospect.

---

Dishonored and bioshock had magic. Does this have magic?

---

knows yet.
We shall find out when it’s released. Either way it looks banta!

---

I felt those two PLUS fallout (the fps fallouts)!

Answer 9

I love the artsyle it is nice to se games with a character and not just photorealistic graphics

Comments

Yeah, every game being released in UE5 is so boring looking. They just use UE5 assets and they all look the same it's pretty annoying.

---

Every Unreal Engine game I've played feels too similar, and they all run pretty awful. No optimization, store bought assets and animations, no artistic integrity or direction. I'm so tired of Unreal Engine games.

The only decent Unreal Engine game I've played is Expedition 33, and that's only because the devs clearly put artistic vision above everything else.

---

Expedition 33 has more store bought assets than any other AAA game that uses UE. It uses assets from ALS4, the Kite Demo, Paragon, MetaHumans and a whole bunch of others. Not saying that's a bad thing, it's my GOTY, Game of the decade even.

Answer 10

so far this has been the best showcase

Comments

what in the bite the pillow is going on?

---

Easily.

---

Definitely one of them. It looks even better than before too. Day one for this game.

---

Literally no

---

Not really. I think there were like 2 games in this showcase that looked good, and about 4 in the main showcase.

---

The outer worlds 2 looks phenomenal as well

---

How long have you worked at Obsidian?

---

wdym? you probably don't know they made fallout new vegas and many other fantastic games

---

The obsidian now is nothing compared to what it was back when they developed New Vegas.

---

definitely

Answer 11

you're a wanted man, mister Morgan.

Comments

5000$??

---

I got some jellybeans

---

“$5000 for me? Can I turn myself in?”

---

And we each got fifteen dollars. Oh, and quarter. Don't forget the quarter.

---

maybe I'm inferring too much, but Morgan gives me that "V" vibe for name selection, so you can craft your character however, and "Morgan" still fits.

Answer 12

this is my summer fest winner. The trailer's format alone deserves praise

Comments

yup

Answer 13

Guy Ritchies - Gangs of Steam York, the Game.

Comments

underrated comment

---

I thought I was the only one that caught that Gangs of New York vibes from this trailer

Answer 14

From what I see in this content
Great Combat
Great Character Creator
Unique World
Great Story
Choices and Effects

Defiantly getting this game.

Comments

I am DEFIANT in my choice to definitely get this game. ;)

Answer 15

No idea if it will actually be good (though it looks great), but that may be my favorite way to approach a character design tool I've ever encountered.

Comments

Yeah, very stylish and different. Can't wait to play this.

Answer 16

Obsidian: am I a joke to you? InXile: don't be mad my old Black isle brethren.

Comments

Obsidian is a joke.  RIP

Answer 17

I love the time control mechanic! It’s super cool to be able to recall your bullets back to your gun

Answer 18

Bioshock Infinite + Dishonored 2 +...Singularity?! If this won't be a lag fest, we are gonna have a blastingly interesting ride!

Comments

as far as i concern it will be vampire the masquerade bloodlines type game.

---

No Dishonored, sadly. Linear environments and no stealth gameplay. More like a Bioshock clone than anything.

---

this is a RPG.

Answer 19

i must say, out of all the other events, xbox showcase has been the most creative and enticing

Comments

I wouldn’t call it creative. It basically copied the entire style and story straight from Bioshock infinite and threw in some Fallout 4 RPG elements

---

Imagine telling Brian Fargo that he's copying Fallout.

---

fallout 4 rpg elements is an oxymoron.

Answer 20

This is what a trailer should be like if you want to sell your product or at least create some hype among gamers. Very good job Inxhile. As a Bioshock devote fan, I'll keep an eye on this Clockwork Revolution (even the title of the game sounds really cool!!!)
