Looks good, but seeing people on a unknown planet without potective gear against chemicals, spores etc. is a bit silly. Reminds me of alien covenant ^^.
If you like the sound of desperate colonists being put into, and dragged out of cryo-sleep. Try reading Children Of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's a fantastic sci fi story about humans escaping a post apocalyptic earth in search of a new planet to call home.
Interesting , if a bit unreal. No species can be totally non violent. a non violent society is a dead one. living things compete and came into conflict. Only dead animals are peaceful animals. If you have a matabolism that demands you eat , you cannot be non violent. Even as a grazer , you have in herd conflicts, predators to fend off, other groups of your species competing for the same range..conflict is inevitable for all living beings.
When exploring a new world , you wear protective gear. Until you know what is what, you wear a space suit and are armed with a sampling kit. when you return.. UV sterilisation on the surface of your suit is standard. You have a sidearm at most, unless there is a reason for heavy weapons.
Unknown environment, jumpy people lethal weapons .. not a good combination.
(EDIT: This is not as dumb as I first thought, but I'm leaving this here for posterity and to provide answers to the other people who will ask the same questions I did. I will also apologize…a little…to the Polish for being so abrasive.) Thank you for telling me just how stupid and plot-hole ridden this game's story is. Why can't the Polish make good stories? Why do you like this? I don't get it. I really do not see the appeal here. Thing after thing just piles up and makes me go "but…that makes…no sense."
Let me highlight two simple things: Why…the FUCK…wouldn't those MILLIONS of people…just…roll into the mountains with their space-age military tech, and…fight the environment instead of each other?
How…in GOD'S name…did an "intelligent" alien species evolve to be INCAPABLE of aggression on THIS planet? The super-hostile, infested with predatory mega-fauna, super-ebola ridden hellhole that this God-forsaken spitball of rock and shit is?
Sorry Vee, but the moment I see people running around on a foreign planet, in an entirely unexplored ecosystem, without breathing gear, your opinion of "This game has an amazing story!" becomes entirely invalid.
My best friend and I use games to keep in contact. We were stationed in Germany for 8 years together and when we retired, he settled in Colorado while I settled in DC. This game and story have really helped us bond even further. We were truly impressed with the story's premise. I'm glad someone else finds the story worthy and compelling. Thanks for the deep dive into the lore.
That opening sounds like 2012 with a futuristic bent…hell I'd be surprised if the company that made 2012 weren't looking hard at Outriders for some kind of copyright violation.
Somethign i think is compare, because these and mass effect andromeda are about colonizing two worlds, and one is looks like drakness and crude and the other is how these champaing socialist see how colonizing the world looks like
Take this game's story and combine it with the gameplay of Dark Souls, DMC, or Ninja Gaiden, and the add the voice acting of RE2 Remake or something similar and you may have Game of the Year material.
And when i say Game of the Year, I mean as voted by actual gamers. Not an award being given as a self-serving pat on the back by a bunch of progressive idiots who don't know anything or care about video games.ee
I really love listening to your video game lore videos. Even listened to Dead Space one few times:D

Interesting duality with the before/after feral form. 🧛♀️ Was a good listen!
I just couldn’t get into the gameplay. Nice lore however.
Lore with vee!

I’d watch that trilogy
It sounds like what Mass Effect Andromeda should have been.
You should really do a “lore dive” video into NieR: Replicant+Automata!
I would watch an Expanse style TV show about this, for sure.
You guys know Outriders 2 will be about, right? It’ll be the humans that were left behind and even more advanced than the two parties on the planet.
Play Omori
neat
Really love the lore videos. I’m glad you read the lore so I didn’t have to.
That was all going so well until the super powers thing. * sigh *. Thanks for posting.

I will enjoy saving my money. Thank you.

That actually sounded unexpectedly interesting.
More Outriders please and thank you!
They stole the black goo from Prometheus
