This is HYPE! You can never go wrong with a piranha byte game, Cant wait!"

Like, I like some of their games and think this looks promising, but......"You can never go wrong with a piranha byte game"......

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

space magic wheeeee

Agreed. Neo-medieval techno-magic settings just don't do it for me in any capacity.

 

[Zurat-Yarkuch]

That trailer music. The fuck? I thought I was watching a fan amv when it started up.

So there has been some leaks.

-initially your character will start super weak, and combat will be hard, but you will have a companion to help - or rather to kill the monsters while you evade combat ; also you ll be able to exploit the lackluster AI to kill monsters with ranged weapons,
- there will be several factions, one “magic” driven, one range based, one melee based. You can only join one. They will have faction specific armor and weapons,
- One of the faction base will be devastated by game event,
- according to internal email, they are not satisfied by the final boss and it will be a shit fight that leverages nothing of what you learned during the game
- according to leaker art, one low level monster will be a sort of giant ostrich

 

[Alienman]

Commander Jax looks mad as all hell.

Hilarious trailer

Yeah clever shit. They're gonna make the same shit they've been making for 20 years and C o d e x e r s w i l l s l u r p i t d o w n

You know the drill. Even the fucking irony on all of this is used, tired and broken

Because it's still better than the great majority of shit in the genre. Changing it drastically would actually be bad, because it would likely all be aimed at a more mainstream audience. We take what we can get when we can get it. Not everything has to be a HUGE INNOVATION to be enjoyable.

 

[BlackAdderBG]

I wish they made the same shit from 20 years ago, ELEX gameplay is one of the worst I experienced maybe since last Cyanide Studio trash.

 

[Roguey]

(warning: gratuitous heavy metal)

Korn isn't metal, they themselves will also say as such.

Amusing to see Piranha Bytes remain loyal to their audience of dudebros.

 

[lightbane]

Wow, I didn't expect the austistic screeching for the Elex sequel would have an actual result, these cries were getting annoying. As for the trailer, indeed it's as awful as that DA one.

 

[Murk]

Korn sucks but is now 1% less awful because of loose association with glorious ELEX.

they still suck tho.

Anyway, Jetpack. Fuck yes.

 

[Correct_Carlo]

Elex is shit.

 

[OctavianRomulus]

Elex is shit. Give me Gothic 3.

 

[GloomFrost]

Sequel to one of the best post apocalyptic open world action RPGs ever?? Hell yeah baby, cant wait . All the ELEX to the hybrid.

 

[Zibniyat]

What a horrible music. And a try-hard trailer in general. Too much trying to be epic and in-your-face.

 

[JDR13]

The trailer sucks, but I expect the game will have the same exploration and atmosphere PB is known for.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

If they can improve the combat from ELEX, everything else was pretty damn good. Could be an all time great.

 

[passerby]

SB truly is the best poster on the codex. [I'm a fanboy]

 

[Deadyawn]

Horrendous fucking trailer.

Cautiously optimistic for the game tho.

 

[Gilius Thunderhead]

There's only one woman in the trailer and she looks like a man. This is signalling that the essence of German roleplaying has been kept intact.

 

[urmom]

The first ELEX had some decent gameplay, but otherwise was kinda dumb.

 

[Zlaja]

They're gonna make the same shit they've been making for 20 years

 

[Drowed]

They're gonna make the same shit they've been making for 20 years and C o d e x e r s w i l l s l u r p i t d o w n

I mean, isn't it pretty much Codex's motto to want all game companies to be doing the same things that were made 20+ years ago? Just give it a coat of paint to make it look new enough and change a few decorations here and there, and done.
