The Outer Worlds’ New Trailer Shows Off Corporate Life…and Death
You have to figure, space is a really big, really deadly place, so it only makes sense that when corporations take over and start building new societies, they’re going to make it seem as pleasant as possible. That’s the gist of the new trailer from The Outer Worlds, which shows off all the fun little diversions you as the player can get up to, and lots of death and dismemberment you’ll need to avoid.
Though we’ve seen a lot of these locations before, the newest trailer offers up a new perspective on things, all from the eyes of the corporate overlords that run most of the Outer Worlds’ planets. We can see the various ways corporations have influenced society, pushing people into work, and making it so every aspect of their life revolves around company-approved lifestyle choices.

Pixar’s Soul: Pete Docter Answers All Our Biggest Questions
Pixar Animation recently revealed the first major details about their upcoming film Soul at Disney's D23 Expo, a film that ponders nothing less than the meaning of life itself.
The film, directed Up and Inside Out's Pete Docter, follows music teacher and aspiring jazz pianist Joe Gardner (voiced by Jamie Foxx) whose life is cut short.
