First time de-dusting the series x , that bitch got dusty after 4yrs 🤮

Now Exta is saying a Gears remaster collection exists, Lol.

Hope it's true so I can split screen the entire series again but this time in one go.

I wonder if Gears 1 is UE slapped into the collection or updated for UE5.

Seeing the art direction and how colorful Avowed is REEEEEEEALLY makes me wish I had an OLED monitor!

John Gonzalez has announced his return to Obsidian as a Creative Director.

His former credits include Fallout New Vegas.

He made this post on his Linkedin though, Lmao.

But Obsidian is about to release Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2, both of which have their own Creative Directors so I wonder what he's on...Avowed 2? The Outer Worlds 3? Grounded feels unlikely, seems he has a preference for larger projects but who knows. Adam Brennecke will likely remain as Director on any potential Grounded 2 as well. Maybe Fallout New Orleans which is technically not New Vegas

Though, I would not be surprised if Leonard Boyarsky leaves or retires soon, not that I want him to but he has been in the industry for a long time and buddy Tim Cain has also semi-retired so maybe he follows him soon. But damn Obsidian is choke full of Directors/Creative Directors, it's a shame they're in the highly expensive California, they need a 2nd studio, Lol.

Made me chuckle to remember that grifting rage baiter claiming Obsidian has lost all their veteran talent.

I believe Josh Saywer did a YouTube video recently where he spoke about Obsidian's pipeline, I believe he said that working on 5 projects at once was their peak before and suggested that wasn't a smart idea? If I'm remembering correctly, so I don't know if Obsidian is going to become a 5 project studio, Lol. I think they were juggling 4 recently (Pentiment, The Outer Worlds 2, Avowed and Grounded).

Now they have Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2.

I do believe we'll get a Grounded 2, it likely has the best profit margins of any Obsidian title, Lol.

I can't see a Fallout happening without it killing The Outer Worlds IP to make room.

Who will you choose to stand by your side in the Living Lands?

Let's take a closer look at your companions in Avowed. 👇

Put a few hrs into Indiana Jones ATGC on Series X today after a deep clean and a factory reset fixed the instability I was having (4yrs of insider ring updates took its toll it seems lol) with the high resolution texture pack. The Motor engine is amazing, hopefully we see id tech used more, I really loved it in the void engine (Dishonoured 2).
