[Excidium II]

Looks xenial.

 

[Delterius]

Eclectic, Lavish, Exhilarating, Dark, Edgy, Tense, Xenial, Fantasy, Science, Post apocaliptic, Friendly, Welcoming, Open World

What is this? A youtube keyword reference sheet?

Gothic 1/2. And without even trying. I'm gonna leave it at that.

 

[Jedi Exile]

Hood is a good thing. I like guys (and girls) in hoods. Everything else looks like shit though. I thought it was going to be sci-fi, and it looks like generic fantasy crap again.

Info apparently from the magazine:

Here you go, quite a bit of background info.

- two hour interview with creative director Björn Pankratz
- idea for the game came up with planned Star Trek easter eggs for earlier Gothic games
- hero has a name (not revealed yet)

- Elex is a drug everybody in the universe is after
- Elex reached the game's planet via meteorite impact
- Intake of Elex results in continous loss of humanity (also refered to as "coolness")
- Elex causes mutations to addicts

- catastrophe on the planet caused the rise of several different groups
- some heavily rely and focus on tech, some dropped every modern technology and sort of live in the middle age
- civilisation before the catastrophe similar to our current status
- devs want to adress serious issues (acceptance of drugs in society, 'right' form of society...)

- huge world, barely scripted, exploration
- 3rd person view, skill system, join fractions, melee, magic, ranged weapons
- crafting
- streamed world, no loading screens
- in-house engine with PBR
- no outsourced inventory management, minimal HUD (GS speculation: Dead Space like)
- optional tutorial

- fans of Gothic will definitely recognize the Piranha Bytes touch
- Pankratz says Gothic 3 was "too generic", "barely any dialogue", "stories not involving", promises to alleviate these issues in Elex
- no pick-one-out-of-three ending in Elex (apparently also a huge flaw of Gothic 3? i dunno)

Let it be known, that taking drugs makes you cool.

> Elex causes mutations to addicts

They probably turn into something resembling orcs. Or lizardmen.

So...

 

[Lady_Error]

So RTwP or TB or just RT?

Snapper-scavenger hybrids? Chainsaw-swords? Spearguns?

Maybe this will be even better than Hatred?

 

[Cyberarmy]

I cant see any of them images :/

 

[Abu Antar]

Be more like Risen 1 and not Risen 2 or 3 and I am in despite how stupid the premise seems.

 

[theSavant]

Pictures look like Gothic 3 Arcania. I give them that they produce more adventureous landscapes than Elder Scrolls, but that's about it.

Now now, let us calm down.
