Obsidian's Grounded Looks Incredible In First Gameplay Footage

Grounded is an upcoming first-person survival adventure from Obsidian Entertainment. The first gameplay footage for Grounded has debuted at PAX East.

[Obscure_Observer]

The game definelly has Minecraft as inspiration.

Lots of things to do and explore. Crafting system and lots of customizations for your character appearance, tools and weapons. Gameplay looks solid and third person view option is a nice addition.

My kids gonna love it. :)

[SierraGuy]

Why not just name it Honey I Shrunk The Kids ?

[LOGICWINS]

Licensing issues

[FanboyPolice]

Logic definitely won

[SierraGuy]

Logic won you donkey?

Logic would dictate mt's make more than enough change for a "licensing fee".

Wtf kind of logic were you smoking when you chose the handle gniosdb?

[ElementX]

This looks really sweet! I like the way the blades of grass stack on your shoulder as you pick them up. Knocking drops of water off of plants, the way the ends of the straps on the spear shake as you move... there are just so many details.

[pwnmaster3000]

Looks good and bad at the same time. Nothing crazy
3rd person gameplay looks a little rough but I’m sure they will fix that...
Tall grass for some reason makes me think of bugs life, which strangely makes me interested in it.

[ElementX]

I think of Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Rick Moranis actually agreed to do another film. He quit acting for a while because his wife died, I think I read somewhere.

[pwnmaster3000]

Actually yeah, I forgot about that. Brings back good times.

[Spenok]

It was a mix of his wife dying, and him wanting to pour as much time and energy into his kids as possible.

Freaking outstanding guy that one.

[sprinterboy]

Yep he wanted to look after the kids properly after the wife died.
The kids both goto University now but says he doesn't miss the acting but never says never.
Pls be in the new ghostbusters.

This look very easy to do in dreams by any skilled user . After owning dream and doing the totorial i am not there jet. But hopefully will get. I dont understand how many games take so long to make. Some i understand some i definitely dont after owning dream my perspective of gaming has changed so much i can't wait to get better and making stuff in it as others already do and use my imagination to make unique games in it.

Again this game in dreams can be made by 5 users in a month or two no joking. Obviously it can't be made now since the inline portion is not activated but soo. Will and i am sure this one will be copier very easy if needed

[Ghostbob]

Yes, you could make something like this in dreams but remember you don't have to do the game coding in dreams.

[Giblet_Head]

Cringe.

[Kerppamaister]

I'll give you 5 years and bet you can't do it

[ssj27]

The idea seems fun but if i end up leveling up my skills in dream i will be doing more interesting things way sooner, i am amaze how easy is to create levels in dream what i have notice is character creationand logisticsis what seems to be more complicated. It's definitely challenging and not easy i wasn't trying to say the devs or game idea suck i am saying after seen tutorials hrs of it and how fast those more advanced skilled dream makers do their job( not me at least not jet) i am saying they could do this in 1 or two month and i am not exaggerating. Maybe two more months if the online logistics is more complicated to the offline but using common sense i am sure is not that much complicated or deeper that the offline logistic. Visuals look very possible. I will even dare to say animation are easier to do and better one than the ones seen here deeper in no time.

[ssj27]

I'm not interested in making this game . Anyone skills to manage dreams can do it in two months not saying i habe the skills now i am barely learning.

[Palitera]

Then try to do it. Then try it again. Then again and again. Then make profit out of it. Then make an original game by your own.

Maybe then you can try to give a less ignorant, arrogant and stupid opinion. Remember we are talking about creating a full game, as you said, not only the content shown in the trailer.

Good luck.

Spoiler alert: I don’t like this specific game, but you won’t come even close to this.

[Palitera]

“I can’t do anything barely decent.”
“DeVeLoPiNg a FuLl gAmE iS So EaSy.”

[ssj27]

I actually haven't try so been honest the controls are really hard to get used and need to star taking lot of notes to move in the editing fast and smoothly because there is a lot to learn but by watching the tutorial the guys that give the tuturial move smoothly in it and know where is everything most of the time naturally..

so i can tell by looking at their skills they can do this game in no time and once i learn more and get faster at the controls and menu's i will be able to but i will first focus on doing socom remake to my taste and a personal project plus other small stuff.

Whoever thinks i am a jerk or not humble is mistaken and been a jerk . I am humble and admit i am still learning and practice and time will get me there. This game seems easy to make not discrediting the creators skills but also saying the facts. Go play dreams and you will see what i mean.

[Palitera]

You are pretty much the opposite of humble when you say doing other people’s work is easy.
Also, self complimenting yourself for being... “humble” (?!) shows even more you’re the opposite.

[ssj27]

Haha and who are you? The mr humble judge who clain a humble men an proclaimed himself humble. I didn't knew i had to pass understand your humble radar standards to qualify as a humble men hahaha. Sorry who i though i was. Give me few year and i hope i can gain my humble tittle certified by you lol

[Palitera]

Then you can give yourself another Super Humble Award.

[DJStotty]

Should be preaching on a Dreams thread.

[spicelicka]

but then he won't be able to troll and justify his love for that sweet piece of plastic!

[MrChow666]

The Most stupid shit I read all day

[spicelicka]

I don't even like this game but relax. You can a ton of things in Halo 5/Car cry 5 as well.

On the surface maybe but try creating a full game like this, which requires rigorous testing. You're looking at a few minutes of gameplay which shows you nothing other than some mechanics and the visuals. I feel like that's a fanboy jab because almost every indie low budget game can somehow be replicated in Dreams, including games on PS4. I've followed Dreams for a year now since early access and almost everything created is experimental and like a mini game. It's an incredible tool and technically has the power to make games better than most indie games, but that doesn't make such games obsolete.

I'm sure you won't go into articles with PS4 games saying the same thing.

[CaptainHenry916]

Lol you can make this in Dreams 😂

[frostypants]

I love Dreams, but...you're just wrong. Show me any full game anyone has done in Dreams so far that has this much depth, much less one made "in a month or two". Just list one example.

Even in Dreams, highly complex games take a lot of time. Not as much as if you had to write code, but still...you're not going to create a complex RPG in a month.

[ssj27]

Looks like i hit some nerve because this is not about ps4 vs xbox. This is about me has a gamer not understanding how many games take so long to develop when they could be done in no time.

This game is one that can be done in dreams in no time. If you think dreama is all about demos you are estupid.

I like the idea look cool. No hating on the game itself. I am actually hoping for a creator in dream to do it sooner or later and i am 100% sure he or they will be able to replicate it in no time. Because from seen the trailer visuals and animaltion logistics of the game seem very easy to do in dreams very dreams friendly.

[ssj27]

Well developers get paid for working not finishing the game fast and plenty devs are very basic skilled if you go to college doesn't make you a herman hust or a cory barlog or a kojima just because you went to school or know how to code. And because you suck at it doesn't mean other can't. Because you don't know someone or suck at it doesn't mean i don't know or suck at it.

[Kerppamaister]

@ssj27 go to a Ghost of Tsushima article and say you can do this in Dreams in 2 months, see what happens

[King_Noctis]

“ Again this game in dreams can be made by 5 users in a month or two no joking.”

You’re joking right? If it is that easy to make Grounded don’t you think MS would want to release it asap? Do you even know how game development works?

And no wonder why you get so many upvotes. You can say anything on this site no matter how delusional it is and still get upvoted as long as it is against MS.

[ssj27]

Downvotes don't always means i am wrong. If you think vote tell.the whole history you are a sheep stupiditly sheeply

[King_Noctis]

“ Downvotes don't always means i am wrong.”

If you are so right then pray tell, who will be in the group of that super 5 human that can recreate the entire Grounded game in Dream in “a month or so”?

[FanboyPolice]

"If you guys were the inventors of facebook, you've had invented facebook."

[DaDrunkenJester]

Lol stop

[Tapani]

Nothing incredibly was shown here. Some type of a crafting game in a generic environment with Disney graphics.

[DJStotty]

Don't buy it then

[Tapani]

Won’t but I’m still allowed to state my opinion. Me buying a game has nothing to do with voicing my opinion, would it be positive or negative. After playing classic games recently, my bar is high! ;)

[ThinkThink]

lol he didn't say anything about not being allowed to voice your opinion. Scream it from the mountain tops buddy!

[BigBosss]

So its Honey I've Shrunk the Kids mixed with A Bugs Life. I like it.

[jznrpg]

Clearly taken from Honey I shrunk the kids . Not my type of game too kiddyish but have fun Xboxers I know you will eat it up.

[ThinkThink]

That's the main draw for me! I loved those movies as a kid.

[jznrpg]

I was a teenager when they came out so I wasn’t interested but I get it for some there is nostalgia. Just not my thing , but no game is for everyone

[Spenok]

I'd definitely say this doesn't look incredible. But as someone who loves survival games like this, it does look like a competent one.

I wonder if this is one of the games MS would eventually release on Switch.

[Az1ner]

Does look sweet. Will be enjoying this with my 13yr old. Minecraft vibes with a little jumanji. Cool.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Definitely looking more interesting. I have no idea if this will be for me or not to be honest but I have enough curiosity that I will give it a try.

[jlove4life]

I grew up on PlayStation and definitely a fan but I'm a gamer above all and this look fun day 1 buy for me honey i shrunk the kids meets minecraft

[Orionsangel]

It's basically, Honey I Shrunk the Kids the game. Cool idea.

[TheHateTheyGive]

Not impressed with this, cartoony Unreal Engine 4 filler game pass game. Wheres all the realistic looking games? Why cant xbox invest in creating an in house engine to take full advantage of the X and series X??

[Atanasrikard]

Just because you don't like the graphics doesn't mean it isn't taking advantage of power. Funny how you are all about the graphics, for this game.

I prefer cartoony, stylized graphics over hyper-realistic looking games.

[TheHateTheyGive]

@ThinkThink I have both consoles since launch, i criticise sony also, death stranding was a load of trash.

[King_Noctis]

Halo Infinite? Microsoft Flight Simulator? Hellblade 2? Project Mira? Wasteland 3?

Its not like there are lack of realistic-looking games coming from MS. What is your excuse for those games then?

[ThinkThink]

Microsoft is developing the Slipspace Engine and Halo Infinite will be the first game to utilize it.

[sampsonon]

xbox? that's about right then.

[Father__Merrin]

looks pretty good tbh

[sprinterboy]

Looks promising but no rain at launch and it's a early access game?

[InUrFoxHole]

Day 1

[Segata]

Honey I avoided 2 copyright infringements.

[AK91]

Woah jeez that framerate I think they should've waited a bit before deciding to show off this game, it looks pretty interesting nonetheless.

[derek]

Look incredible? That's a big overstatement
