This studio did the biggest jebait ever and I’m so happy with it. “We will be leaving outward in the past to focus on bigger and better things” The bigger and better things are the best thing possible!!!! I love outward!!!! Best fantasy survival game ever! Amazing magic system and awesome world building!
Excellent review as always, Sheen. I'm so happy that you got to play! Input from people who actually know and love the first game is so much more valuable for this combat demo than some of the other videos I've seen. Super pumped for Outward 2!!
I really hope they maintain the wonder and exploration aspect from the base game and don't delve too much into combat making it a generic RPG. The original Outward is such an escape for me and just roaming about the purple fields of Chersonese, the mystical forests of Enmerkar, seeing the swamp lights in the Marshes and the desert moon in Abrasar was and still is something I come back to again and again.
The new combat system is super fluid! I’m in love with Outward 2. Thanks Sheen for making this video! I even watch your outwards videos for entertainment while eating!! 😊
Thanks for all the info in the first game, I beat the heck out of it and enjoyed it more due to your advice! Looking forward to another grand adventure!
Super excited for Outward 2, looks amazing. It seems they took notes from some of the mods of Outward 1 😂. More specifically the multiple ability slots mod. If someone deserved to have the chance to play the Alpha demo it's definitely you.
Sheen is to OUTWARD what ESO is to Skyrim!!! Amazing Demo review. Combat looks much cleaner. Looking forward to OUTWARD 2 . Can we get a countdown timer once release date is announced Or something similar ? That would be interesting or give aways etc etc... Come on Let's get it! Sharing all you stuff keep up the great work.
One of the best games ever..exploring was amazing. Just love the oldschool feel and uniqueness. A game hasnt made me feel like this one in a loooong time
Loving the look, praying they add multiplayer 3 or 4 player would make a huge difference. Graphics upgrade seemed nice and combat looks good, really looking forward to number 2
love everything so far, including the graphics. The thing I wish the most for this game is good mod support, and this isn't totally dependent on the devs I know, but a game like this with a strong modding community can have a near infinite lifespan, not to mention customizing everything to personal taste. Either way, I'm all in for this one, gonna be a banger for sure
Very nice video Sheen! The new combat style they made was everything I was hoping for! What I look forward to next is the skills that will be added in the new game! :D
u got me into outward and i bought it on sale last year, ive already racked up over 1k hours and now that i know outward 2 is a thing im going ape shit, i pray that they add 1 item in particular......the golden pot helm, i wanted it in outward 1 after learning u could legacy items and it would change them, i dont understand why 9dots didnt add a golden pot helm in the first place but it would have been the best meme item and i know many ppl would have used it just for the laughs
What I want to see is a better way to prepare for adventures while at home. Like sorting through what food to take, or planning what to farm, when and where.
I really like the attack system for the two handed weapons. But even more, the decision to have a mini dash to avoid attacks is something I wish any game trying to be realistic would do. It’s very common in actually melee combat to have a short dash or leap to avoid an attack, and a role would be rare and also inconvenient, so reserved for if someone throws like a fire ball at you.
Never gave a bow second chance after the first 5 hours of Outward1, let's see if and what the bows will look like in Outward2. Also what about my favourite... shooting enemies with 20 preloaded guns and closing in to apply rainbow hex in between. Can't wait to get to build... building! :D
I wish they make pure mage gameplay a little more fast and dynamic. That long drawn out taking a step forward to cast a fireball animation is a bit much for me. I'd like the option to spam the cast button and have more rapid attacks at the expense of lets say less damage or more mana cost. Maybe even a combined stamina cost as you're exerting your entire body channeling mana.
outward 1 being the first game that teem made and them probably getting better funding this time means 2 is going to be so good. I'm really interested see them apply what they learned and use the funding to cover gaps they left. I really hope they take a look at the mods for ideas too because the modding for outward is crazy. I also hope they go wild with mod tools being that the community loves mods. I do wonder if the move from unity to unreal will effect the modding community.
Tell them to make NPCs actually living in the world doing their things (eat, sleep, communicate, travel, etc) not just standing forever. Also you can have NPC companions while you travel.
These things really don't matter to Outwards core concept at all though and would only make the load on your system higher for no benefit? Like, Outward is an exploration, freedom focused game, with the philosophy to let you try and solve anything by yourself and learn through failure. So, NPCs having a life would, while being nice, not really add to the game. Yes, cities would be a bit more immersive, which would be cool. But remember it is all a give and take. If the developers put time into this, time will be taken from other stuff they could've done. So I actually think your suggestion would only make Outward 2 worse as a result. And NPC companions? No thank you. Maybe for specific quests that are related to that NPC, sure. But generally having them with you would just be annoying a lot of the time for many builds that don't just wanna rush at any enemy they see, but prepare stuff first, like magic sigils or buffs. The positioning would also be messy as you can't just quickly communicate that with them mid combat like you can with a real person. Therefore, even if the game had some NPC command buttons, you'd have to constantly use them on many builds inbetween everything you do, really messing with the flow of gameplay. So please, no NPC companions. Outward is no generic RPG, you gotta think about the consequences that generic features might have on it's more unique style of gameplay. It would really mess with it.
Is the Stamina regeneration higher than in Outward (1)? It looks like it to me and I would really appreciate a bit higher base regen^^.But something I don't like so far is the UI... I hope it's a Placeholder. It looks a bit blurry and no so nice at all.
I’m really happy they invested on getting the combat better. It was what kept me away from the game. I tried to get into it many times and I own the complete edition but the combat always turns me off. I can easily get by all the hard survival stuff if combat is fun for me. Can’t wait to see more of it.
There was no real talk of that mechanic unfortunately. I would imagine the burnt system will come back. It was likely not in the demo due to limited items and wanting to give players a chance to try the combat more than the survival aspects. But I can't be sure of course.
I believe Guillame said during the reveal that they didn't manage to implement those mechanics yet. They had some problems with it but it will surely be in the final game. They didn't do much else than just port everything from Unity to Unreal yet.
What I have noticed was burned health, stamina and mana. Maybe they haven't implemented it in the demo, but if this is a combat focused demo, imo it should have been there. Maybe a hint that burned resources will be gone?
I'm so glad the combat looks so much better the combat was sluggish and very limited movement wise I think it probably was the biggest turn off for new players
Do we have any idea when it might be coming? It could be anywhere from this year to several years... I have no idea how far they've gotten from that original info dump. For all I know it could have been an announcement that development has just started.
I love Outward 1 but the weakest part of the game for me was the world visuals (not just graphics but there's a lot of empty samey space), do you think that part is improved in this sequel?
Honestly I don't think the demo gave any incite on that. Seems like it was created to be a demo and not a mini part of the real game. BUT I do know the devs have stated several times that aspect is a heavy focus for improvement. It is the main complaint of Outward 1 and so they are making the work more dense and appropriately designed for 2.
I know. I hope they slow it down a little, or else it feels kinda trashy, idk how. The old game had a deliberate feel that shouldn't be replaced, this isn't a hack and slash arcade game yaknow?
Ok gameplay is important, but I gotta ask about something that's also important. Are we gonna have more and better options during character creation? I really don't like the fact that my options in pt. 1 is either looking like a wife beater or ninja from fortnite
They did say character creator would be not a main focus, but definitely expanded upon compared to the first. Which its true the first game doesn't really have that many good options for that.
I know the developers of Outward weren’t big on character creation, but I hope to God they DON’T make the faces look like potatos
did you just insult my trog spawn?
Potatoes? More like Demon-pug incarnate
I hope they double down and just make them potatoes
Or just let us create freely I wanna create the most hideous creature to ever walk
man i love outward, but i REALLY have to put a full helmet on my char, the models are so ugly dude. hope in this one the get better!
I just hope the wizard hats makes a comback, those wide brims where so unique =)
was gonna like but i cant ruin that 42 perfect the answer to life is indeed drip
I always play a wizard with pointy hat. Like Eliminster of Shadowdale. I need this to be like DnD 2nd ed.
Are you even a wizard if you don't have a wide-brimmed hat?
This studio did the biggest jebait ever and I’m so happy with it. “We will be leaving outward in the past to focus on bigger and better things”
The bigger and better things are the best thing possible!!!!
I love outward!!!! Best fantasy survival game ever! Amazing magic system and awesome world building!
too bad the world is boring af
it's the best
Yeah he had me fooled. I was telling all my homies there wouldn't be a second one 😅
@@lepindre9193it's very open, and bland. Lots of walking. There should have been mounts or a more fair fast travel.
@@eagleone5456 you dont walk that much if you get to it. If you can manage stamina and movement speed you can travel point to point preety fast.
The first Outward was something special. Can't wait to see how the sequel shakes out. 🔥
Imagine a Remnant to Remnant 2 jump in quality. A GOTY contender
That new movement system looks so much cleaner
Excellent review as always, Sheen. I'm so happy that you got to play! Input from people who actually know and love the first game is so much more valuable for this combat demo than some of the other videos I've seen. Super pumped for Outward 2!!
Loved outward cus of u, looking forward to this sequel more than any game currently
I really hope they maintain the wonder and exploration aspect from the base game and don't delve too much into combat making it a generic RPG.

The new combat system is super fluid! I’m in love with Outward 2. Thanks Sheen for making this video! I even watch your outwards videos for entertainment while eating!! 😊
I'm so excited!! I just started my outward adventure and I'm hooked! Cant wait!
Pro players used sprint to "dash" in combat, so they made it a feature. These devs are great.
Thanks for all the info in the first game, I beat the heck out of it and enjoyed it more due to your advice! Looking forward to another grand adventure!
Outward is one of my favorite games of all time. I cant wait for this to come out!! I'm Hyped!
Super excited for Outward 2, looks amazing.

ITS NEARLY HERE!!!! LETS GOOO 🎉🎉
One of the best games ever..exploring was amazing. Just love the oldschool feel and uniqueness. A game hasnt made me feel like this one in a loooong time
Thanks for that video Sheen! Combat is always one of the main fun factor of a game to me and from your video, the new combat system looks awesome!
Polearm is still going to my go to weapon. Halberd carried me through the first Outward. Put Ammocalytes down like flies with Moon Swipe
Great stuff! I’m overly hyped for this! Looks like it’s giving credit to the old game and updating where necessary!
Loving the look, praying they add multiplayer 3 or 4 player would make a huge difference. Graphics upgrade seemed nice and combat looks good, really looking forward to number 2
Can't wait to see the rest of the weapon types! So far the dagger is my favorite even though my heart belongs to the spear.
love everything so far, including the graphics. The thing I wish the most for this game is good mod support, and this isn't totally dependent on the devs I know, but a game like this with a strong modding community can have a near infinite lifespan, not to mention customizing everything to personal taste.
Either way, I'm all in for this one, gonna be a banger for sure
The quick slots for the controller look promising. Thanks for the expert gameplay review, Sheenshots!
It looks like the cross hotbar for FFXIV, which is a great system!
Very excited for this, sheen does it again!! Thanks for the preview broham!!😊
Yoooooo sooo excited for this. One of my fav games
Very nice video Sheen! The new combat style they made was everything I was hoping for! What I look forward to next is the skills that will be added in the new game! :D
fingers crossed for mounts
I literally can not wait for this game to come out. Going to be soooo fun!
it looks amazing, im loving the new animations and fluidity.
Wow
Sup sheen can’t believe it’s actually happening
We need more items like the Pearlbird masks
I’m gonna pre order the second they release it 🎉
u got me into outward and i bought it on sale last year, ive already racked up over 1k hours and now that i know outward 2 is a thing im going ape shit, i pray that they add 1 item in particular......the golden pot helm, i wanted it in outward 1 after learning u could legacy items and it would change them, i dont understand why 9dots didnt add a golden pot helm in the first place but it would have been the best meme item and i know many ppl would have used it just for the laughs
Honestly Outward is pretty close to a perfect experience for an rpg. The only thing I would like to see is a reason to kill non special mobs.
This video on my recommended is how I even found out there was an Outward 2 lol. I'm unbelievably thrilled.
I'm counting days to get my hands in Outward 2. I hope the best for team devs: this IP deserve the best and i keep hoping for it.
What I want to see is a better way to prepare for adventures while at home. Like sorting through what food to take, or planning what to farm, when and where.
So insanely excited to see you dump 100s more hours into outward 2!
I really like the attack system for the two handed weapons. But even more, the decision to have a mini dash to avoid attacks is something I wish any game trying to be realistic would do. It’s very common in actually melee combat to have a short dash or leap to avoid an attack, and a role would be rare and also inconvenient, so reserved for if someone throws like a fire ball at you.
Can’t freaking wait!
Despite this only being the Alpha it already looks amazing in so many different ways
The spark fireball looks crazy fast now.
Im getting this when it comes out i fkn love outward
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Let’s go!!!!!
It looks amazing can’t wait
I have waited weeks for this video :D
I hope they add more variety to weapons and more range options

I really hope they have a physical release
Iam so insanely hyped for this game
Holy shit i had no idea outward 2 was even comming my day is made :D
Ufff el uno fue uno de mis favoritos, este lo espero con muchas ganas.

I am so excited to be so immersed that I forget I can’t jump.
Dude im so excited!!
Spear moveset looks sooooo god
Blocking with a spear instead of pointing it towards the attacker is peak shit.
wait, what they hey! You got to play it??? JEALOUS
They need to fix the old version to avoid the "stuck in the air unable to do anything" and avoid it on game 2.
cant wait for the relise

This is already looking incredible can't wait to see rune magic again.
I like that they didn't bother fixing ragdoll.
If it works don't touch it.
Let's goooooooo!
I don't think I saw any burnt health or stamina for the entirety of this video, do you know if they have any plans to implement that system later?

What about the character customization? Did it improve? Or do we still have the same one?
Yeyyy its coming!!! Hope it comes to Xbox soon
I need to know how runic magic will work
Lesgo!
What I have noticed was burned health, stamina and mana. Maybe they haven't implemented it in the demo, but if this is a combat focused demo, imo it should have been there. Maybe a hint that burned resources will be gone?
Did they remove the combat lag? The first game was horrible until I got the lag removal mod.
This game looks so good. Gonna go back and finish the first one since Helldivers is killing itself.
Wasn't the 1st one the you can't fight with your backpack on game? Because i dont see a backpack on this toon.
I'm so glad the combat looks so much better the combat was sluggish and very limited movement wise I think it probably was the biggest turn off for new players
the boar has the same attacks as the hyppos in caldera,just more polished
Do we have any idea when it might be coming? It could be anywhere from this year to several years... I have no idea how far they've gotten from that original info dump. For all I know it could have been an announcement that development has just started.
Hey listen! Oh boy...
This is so funny in the first game. I still play it.
Hello, are there any guns like the first game ?
Dang I was literally debating asking u the other day if u think u will get access to the exclusive demo for Outward, welp.. quwstion answered lol
I love Outward 1 but the weakest part of the game for me was the world visuals (not just graphics but there's a lot of empty samey space), do you think that part is improved in this sequel?

@@SheenShots Thanks for the insight, sounds good. :)
@@SheenShots I just hope that doesn't mean the world will be too small
Love it
Is the footage sped up? The animations look extremely quick, and I dont know if I like it...
I know. I hope they slow it down a little, or else it feels kinda trashy, idk how. The old game had a deliberate feel that shouldn't be replaced, this isn't a hack and slash arcade game yaknow?
I kind of hope I can use a spear and shield combo.
Where's my Bow at Ninedots? Dual daggers looks quick and very mobile tho
Ok gameplay is important, but I gotta ask about something that's also important.

Combat looks more fluid, less rigid than the first.
I kinda hope that the sidestep dodge doesnt have i-frames as if it does i feel like it'll make the actual diveroll kinda useless imo.
well those s could be made super tight, unlike the regular god rolls
I thought Outward was ruined by its targeting system. I hope they fix it in this version
Dual wield shields?
any idea when itll get a release date?
Не скоро, но игра скорее всего выйдет в начале - середине 2025
👏👏🤟😊 excelente🎉
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO
Will outward 2 be splitscreen like the first?
Yes they made it very clear that will be in the game once again.
@@SheenShots very good!!👍
Sooo its coming next year?
sheeeeeenshooootszzzzz
