Outriders
The new game Outriders has a bit more behind it than the flashy trailer we saw for Outriders at E3 as the developers will tell us
During E3, there were many odd looks in the crowd when many first saw and heard of Outriders. It felt like a surprise title that came out of nowhere and coming from People Can Fly whom has had a hit and miss history with their titles in the past. None the less, it looks like Square Enix is giving them the opportunity to give us another shooter with Outriders and we had our first taste of the game during the show. Well, the first concept behind it as all we had was the cinematic trailer you can see below. Given that they are aiming for a Summer of 2020 release, I am sure there will be much more to come.
If you missed out on the trailer we all had for Outriders, you can spy that just a bit lower here. Further down below that would be the most recent “developer diary” for the game where they try to dig in a bit more to give us a feel for what the game actually will be. A shooter that will allow up to three players drop in or out of the fight as they take on a bunch of horrible looking aliens or monsters. Seems a bit familiar, but at least we all know they can do the shooter rather well. I loved Bulletstorm even if I would have gone with a few different creative choices that a certain director wanted to go with.
