EXODUS - Sci-Fi Action-Adventure RPG with Time Dilation from James Ohlen's Archetype Entertainment

Look, I'm not someone who wants bimbofied dolls in my games or anything of the sort, but will it kill them to just put in conventionally attractive looking women from time to time?

Alright it's Mass Effect with Bears.

It's bound to be successful.

 

[Alienman]

Mass Effect at home, though.

Mass Effect in Bangalore.

At least seems to have some heart behind it, I'd take a decent Mass Effect inspiration over EA slop.
What I noticed is that the class of the character is shown during cutscenes. In ME all Shepards acted like soldiers, here the "biotics" use their powers instead of drawing a gun. Nice detail.

Yes, it will actually kill them.

Something about this game irks me.. It's like wearing Mass Effect's skin but in a uncanny way. Also our character seems to have A LOT of dialogue without any input from the player.

 

[Lucas]

What's up with all those glimpses of attractive (well, more or less ) caucasian males? What about dreadlocks? Where my niggas at, damn it?

What's James Olhen cooking?

Yes, it will actually kill them.

That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

Yes, it will actually kill them.

That's what we call a win-win scenario.

The world building is really interesting, humans as aliens is a novel concept in scifi rpg's. The short gameplay trailer also looked pretty cool, taking clear inspiration from Mass Effect.

I read a comment on the new gameplay trailer on YouTube that there is a new novel set in the universe, apparently it really fleshes out the world building. Hadn't heard of the author, but he seems a very highly regarded sci-fi/space opera writer, so I went ahead and took the plunge and bought a copy. Will report back when done (looks to be 900 + pages, so might take a while).

The more and more videos I see of this are looking good to me at least. Still interested. This is still AAA crap (and I do not have any more expectations other than that), but if they can pull off a decent and engaging story, decent combat and exploration, I'm in.

And the single and most important part is: Exodus: At least this isn't being developed by current Bioware.

Humans having multiple nationstates is a novel concept in scifi too. I think that would be more interesting than having regular monocultural humans and monocultural aliens that, psyche!, were human all along. Hasbro already owns a scifi IP that does just that and it’s not a blatant ripoff of prior games like Mass Effect.

I have read most of Hamilton's books and enjoyed them. I'm currently about a third of the way through this one and it's... ok. Not great, not horrid, a few interesting ideas (e.g. mindlines). Sometimes the plot feels a bit like a video game: oh, this is a side quest, now we're advancing the main plot, etc. I wouldn't object to playing a game in the world the novel presents, so I guess it did its job there.

The trailer doesn't look bad and they have only two dangerhairs in a company photo.

It only takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.
