ELEX ELEX RELEASE THREAD

Also: If something looks dangerous, it can probably kill you.
Follow the Joe Rogan school of thought, "That thing would rip you to fuckin' shreds man, Jesus Christ."

And not the Timothy Treadwell school of thought "Hey that bear is really nice and loves me... aaaaaaaaaaaargggh he is eating me"

I'd never join a faction named "clerics" anyway

Clerics für life, they get lasers n' shit!

 

[Erikolaz]

bandits is for real men

C.R.O.N.Y. U4 confirms.

Your loss.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Btw, get Animal trophies maxed as soon as possible.

i dont think i ever maxed it, or even if i did, i did it hella late

Berserkers are false barbarians and true pussies. Avoid at all costs.

 

[T. Reich]

ALL ELEX TO THE HYBRID.

Bereserkers are naturechads and magic is really radical.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Magic is for poofters.

The main issue I have so far is that I dislike the main protagonist... which is problematic since this who "I" am. What a pretend macho asshole hahaha
Generally the NPCs and the discussions so far in the berserker city..... yeah, I'm guessing it's not the game's strong suit.
Also I hope there are actual reasons to join factions because the way they try to convince me so far makes me not want to join any of them. It's early tho

I like the exploration with the jet pack, the added dimension is cool
The combat is "clunky" but ok, I was expecting worse tbh

You have to later and that's the point. Each faction has it's own very large share of issues and benefits.

Could some of our Germans explain what they are talking about? Google auto translate is really poor.

Nothing new or spectacular

Welcome to Piranha Tank TV

I'm Jörg Pankratz and am the project lead and am also involved with story, music and sound design.
I'm Jenny Pankratz and also do story design, social media and PR.

Why do we do this?

We need to reach out to people on many different channels.

Until ELEX we didn't do this (only (snail) mail and our fan forum), but this has changed.

Our goal is to provide you with some insights on the people, who produce our games and we
also want to explain some of our decisions and design processes.

We want to be closer to the consumer / community, something we already started during the
development of ELEX - the days of the black box developers are over.

Which feedback and ideas from the community are in the game?

• features, which a lot of people want (or features we already had on our list)
• e.g. no motor bikes, because the streets are ruined
• but maximal freedom (climbing roofs, rocks, ...) is back, no restrictive climbing spots
• and the idea for the jetpack was born
• no more corridors
• higher difficulty (no "the customer is king, click and the monster is dead" awesome button)
• (but their easy mode was still too difficult for the story mode players, which they addressed in a recent patch)
• QTEs out after community feedback and he admits, that they are a bad match for their kind of games
• Lore and atmosphere: Moar immershun, background stories, ..., audio logs, books, notes
• Quests have now more (real) consequences, not just pseudo consequences (replayability is a key design goal)

Next time: Battle Royal mode in games and what Piranha Bytes thinks about this latest trend

If I had to guess, Björn is positive since he has a hundred hours in PUBG. Interesting though, hope they make a English version or give English subtitles since it's a international language.

They did tweet a link to this page. Bodes well for you.

Europeans give me the creeps.

Honestly I was like WTF is a Neo-Nazi youtube video doing in here.
(I am german, and honestly, on first glance both look like typical east-german Neo-Nazi's, both wear black, guy is bald, woman has short hair)

 

[Alienman]

I think they more look like Germans that dance under a bridge somewhere to weird techno.

Duh everyone knows that Germans that listen to techno look like this:


And weird techno ones like this:

Those aren't Europeans though. Those are Floridians. Also very disturbing.
