Heh, guess I was right about them scrapping the Mutog rider:

The mounted units were an idea we were toying with, but were never originally planned. We’d still like to have them in the future, but have more pressing features to work on before release.

Great game. Going to play its definitive edition with all dlc stuff, in two years or so.
At this pace, in two years or so we'll play the beta, maybe...

nuXcom is superior because people made porn with their models. I can't imagine(of course I can) people using Steam film maker with Phoenix Point monsters porn. I is a measure of game popularity in 2019.

The build we show at E3 won't be too much different to BB4

What?!
4 more months of development, 2 1/2 months since BB4. Release September (probably not earlier than the 30th).
Either they scrapped a lot of content/features, or another delay.

Oh boy, curious how that turns out. Especially since I really liked BB3 and 4, while the later hasn't added as much as I hoped it would (or as one would assume with an September 2019 release in mind).

Also:

There won't be a public beta
Just to put this into perspective, the game is still pre-alpha (before alpha) in a time frame of four months they want to get from there to beta than goldmaster?
They never shown on any gameevents an more advanced build than the current Backer Builds they had and as it seems the same will happen with E3 as well.

But do not fear:

We’ve got a very good marketing manager now. Used to be Obsidian’s guy. We’ve got plans. No need to fear.

So we are in for something like this:

I think that is not quite as catchy as Iggy Pop.

By now, almost everything about this project has become a travesty. What a joke.

Lol, retards thinking that 4 months is/should be something from a programming point of view.

Perfect time for an overused meme!

Paul Neurath: Shit looks good boys, we're ready to go from alpha to launch!
Julian Gollop: Hold my beer, chaps.

I used to really look forward to playing this game, but it's a shame how much it changed visually and stylistically.

I mean how do you get from this Doom/Hellgate London look...




... to this Pokemon shit?





From this color palette and characters...

... to this plastic G.I. Joe look?






How do you get from this clean UI....

... to this Overwatch/The Division clusterfuck?

EDIT: Looking at this as a fan, how can I not be disappointed? I'm not even a backer, but I can imagine how they might feel. This game is unrecognizable.

:killit:

indeed they need to keep the gritty\horror art, otherwise it looks like a budget version of Xcom 2.

Since during the development till now the game started to look more and more like a X2 clone.

Don't get me wrong, i love Xcom 2 but then why i should play this over it?
