Great post because for me the actual sales figures matter for a company like PB, its not an indie developer that can rely on Kickstarter or similar crowdfunding

So this confirms what most of us fans of PB games already know, ELEX 1 was a good game and sold well and ELEX 2 is going to be the same because obviously fans will buy the game and support it. And hopefully we can grow the fanbase with new gamers also loving PB games

the makers of legendary Ghotic1, 2 ... how the mighty have fallen!

well, after a quick search, this guy Björn Pankratz, had nothing to do with Gothic 1&2!?

does anybody here know what role he had in G1,2 if he had any?

He's been at PB since Gothic 1. Cf:

I think the only new info that Nasty returns

you can loot enemy weapons

This has me a bit worried. I hope they still have stat requirements like in the first game then. And I hope those requirements make sense, considering the type of weapon, but also the difficulty of the enemy wielding it.

My only problem with the graphics in the gameplay footage is the faces on the character models

Yeah, they look absolutely abyssmal. Caja's mug looked comically bad. And Jax looks like a younger looking dork version of himself. As if his new voice wasn't bad enough.

I can't confirm it, but I heard they're pretty much finished with the game at this point. So I have a feeling we're going to be stuck with those shitty faces

You gotta be shitting me!

Also, I have to say that the new inventory/skills UI looks pretty dull and uninspired. The UI in the first was a bit sparse on crucial info, but I liked that futuristic blue look. Oh, well. Still looking forward to the game.

Elex non-fact.

When is this "masterpiece" coming out?

When is this "masterpiece" coming out?

once they run out of facts

October leaks were fake so I imagine never.
This looks more and more like a scam, designed to take EU money.

You better remove those quotations marks, friend.

The favela of Elex.

Seriously, as far as I'm concerned there isn't another open-world game to look forward to. I wracked my brain for good open-world games from the past that I could possibly play over the past few days, and I landed on Two Worlds of all things. This is where we're at. People who don't realize this simple fact are delusional. Support the kinds of games you like, or die without them.

This will be a masterpiece of open-world RPGs in the time we're living in. Shut the fuck up, or give examples of others we might partake in. Beyond that, ELEX was exceptional in and of itself.

 

[Abu Antar]

Let me use one.

 

[Peachcurl]

Better not. I've seen enough games adding some kind of mechs or exo-skellies as a gimmick. It always sucks.

It requires some real development focus to make this work.

Saints row 4 did ok.

 

[Peachcurl]

Huh... I don't even remember a mech suit in SR4?

 

[Anthedon]

That's just the regular Alb mech from ELEX, dude in the background looks like one of the combat bots too.

 

[BruceVC]

So who is " Day 1 " purchase like me ?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Huh... I don't even remember a mech suit in SR4?

What's this doohickey then, about 10 seconds in?

I think it qualifies as a mech suit, right?

Sure, fair enough. I just genuinly do not remember seeing or using it. Hm.

 

[JDR13]

Piranha Bytes is automatic Day 1.

 

[Gilius Thunderhead]

I'll purchase it day 1, but I don't have time to play it. I'll still come to the Codex and say the game is shit, though.
