The trailer looks pretty low effort ngl, but I'll take low effort trailers over low effort gameplay
I want this to be awesome.

That shot at the end of him standing on top of a bell tower... That's some low effort "this is my first time streaming, look at this cool pose".
Anyways, looks like typical PB shit combat, which they already had difficulty balancing... But now with air combat.

This trailer gives me impression PB is not trying to fix the jank but actually cultivate it like a mold in bathroom.

How is it that these are the system requirements for the first Elex
And these are the requirements for Elex II
It looks to me like basically the same shit in the same engine.
Anyway, unfortunately my almost 8 year-old PC doesn't meet the minimum for Elex II. And I would have already built a new one by now if not for the fucking dogshit state of the GPU market.

But will it be Xenial?
Looking at the combat vid and reflecting on ELEX combat. I think what they've always been trying to do is have the animations define the timing, so that you get something of a naturalistic feel. But I think the more you do that, the more sophisticated the animation has to be - for example it would have to be "aware" of unevenness in the ground.
IOW, it's a bit of an uncanny valley effect. The more realistic the animation looks, the more realistic it has to be, and they don't seem to have quite the ability to push it to the next level.
Plus also, they tend to have the swings too broad and clunky for actually realistic fighting. Real fighting is quite nimble, even with 2H weapons, but they have these horking great swings that just don't feel right in combat.

Had a notification set for Elex 2 on gog.com.
It notified me about Elex 2 being available for preorder.
AFTER I preordered.

It's anywhere from 10-20 gbs bigger (those requirements say 35 gb is minimum for the first game but my folder is 26) so it does get a bit of a next gen bump. Not really apparent from the screenshots they've shown, but it does look improved in the videos. It's also possible that what they list as the minimum is the lowest hardware they have available and it can in fact go lower.

Guess they gonna cut first person camera in dialogues then?
Is this the German way of saying "gather your party before venturing forth"?
