ELEX Pre-Release Thread

[Excidium II]

Post apocalyptic? But why the swords and medieval houses and fantasy landscape in the artwork? Doesn't make sense...

Risen 3 with guns

inb4 Risen 3 with a different coat of painting

That would be perfect, Risen 3 is probably the best RPG released in the lst few years.

post apocalyptic fantasy - new new hot shit. See the new Guerrilla Games title or Numenera.

"...from the award-winning creators of the Gothic series..."

I just noticed no mention of Risen in the advertising blurb, someone wants to forget their past. Hopefully all the bad design decisions that series made will also be forgotten.

Face it people, the PB that created your favorite Gothics doesn't exist anymore. These subpar developers that soil the company's name don't deserve a second glance.

 

[Zed]

"we're gonna need a name for our new game"

"yoga pants"

"huh?"

"spandex"

"what?"

"elex"

"fucking perfect!"

Yes it does, it created the better series called Risen. Some of you chumps should maybe play them instead of talking nonsense.

No pirates so

 

[Havoc]

No pirates so

Now it's going to be SCIENCE PIRATES!

 

[Cyberarmy]

LX, so game is about a large X? Can't go far from pirate theme huh PB

Jesus fucking Christ, I wasn't expecting anything after Risen 2 and 3, but that title has to be the most embarrassingly retarded thing I've heard in the last couple of months. It's literally just a bunch of marketing buzzwords mashed together, but hey, at least they had the decency not to use majestic or visceral.

Also:

Piranha Bytes have their roots on the PC but the aim of ELEX is to please really both worlds - the PC and the console world. This is why the game is constantly being developed with gamepads in mind - also and especially also from the UI side. But on the other hand we clearly dont want to give the PC games a diluted experience.

This game will be Skyrim+Fallout in one. We'll never need to play kingcomrade and popamole again.

 

[Killzig]

Even though these guys have only made half of a good game in the last ten years, I'll probably play this. Sue me. I like post-apocalyptic fantasy stuff.

this has always worked so well amirite

If it has smallish hand crafted open world then it's probably worth of my money becuz explorashun. But I'll doubt about that because of recent trends.

 

[Cthulhu_is_love]

I wonder that nobody mentioned this yet: Even PB doesn't want to get associated with Risen.

from the award-winning creators of the Gothic series

Anyway setting looks good, game will be shit. But fortunately PB now takes names which are easier to make fun of.

Edit: Er...my bad.

What I've never been able to understand is who actually buys PB games on consoles. All console versions of Risen games have abysmal review scores. What is it that makes PB keep trying to appeal to that audience? Do they honestly believe that at some point they will make some sort of Skyrim killer that will fill their pockets with consolero money? If that's the case, it's pretty sad to see such an exercise in futility from people that used to make good games once.

 

[Morgoth]

Sounds retarded.

Science-Fantasy

Stop it please.

 

[Durandal]

To which god should I pray to not have a main character in ELEX be named Alex?

 

[Caconym]

Would you look at that piece of Severian!

Completely agree. They have completely lost sight of what made the first two Gothic games great.

I wish them the best of luck, but I am quite sure this won't be for me (and I LOVE sci-fi).

 

[T. Reich]

Did someone say LEXX?

 

[adddeed]

^ Currently watching Season 3. One of the best shows there was.

Yes it does, it created the better series called Risen.

What do you mean "possibly"?
