Game News Hell is freezing over: Ubisoft's Might & Magic X is actually a blobber

[tuluse]

What the fuck, a real AAAwesome publisher making a turn based blobber? Is this real life?

 

[Stabwound]

Wait, what version of Xeen is that? What's with the UI with "Drink" etc as clickable icons and not the old text/keyboard interface? Actually, everything about that picture looks off. Is it photoshopped or what? Kind of derailing the thread, but whatever. I guess the other font looks kind of Mac-ish. Mac version?

DOS version:

Ubisoft pulls epic stunt to confuse codex.

I am pretty sure this is just a red herring we are to follow while they publish a "true" sequel.

The sad thing is the horrible UBI DRM is going to be the boner killer. So sadly, it won't make it to INCLINE status.

You sure? At least compared to what Ubi was doing earlier?

open world

Having the game set in and around a single hub (like it sounds in the PR blurb), any chance they will make this a mission or quest based rpg (like Shadowrun) instead of having an open world design?

Worried about that point, but at this stage it's pure speculation.

 

[Jaesun]

I wonder if the codex is on UBI's BLACKLIST (as in interviews)?

I wonder if the codex is on UBI's BLACKLIST (as in interviews)?

Why would we be? For badmouthing PoR:RoMD? I don't believe they've ever made a game that was relevant to the Codex's interests.

Ugh, I hope not.

But: "Create and lead your group into an exciting world and battle powerful mythical creatures while collecting ancient magical treasures. Through a turn-based gameplay system, defeat creatures and bosses to accomplish unique quests and make your way through dangerous dungeons, cities and labyrinths full of traps"

They do mention cities, so hopefully that doesn't mean hub-based.

Choose your gender among four different races: Humans, Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, the choice is yours! Each race also boasts three unique classes, each one having their own skills and abilities.​

 

[Luzur]

I think they were inspired by older M&M games art style.

well this game is pretty silent, let's pump up the volume a bit check this buil- HELLO TRAVELLERS

i know that one.

 

[Zed]

4 races, 3 classes for each race? so I don't get to choose an elf warrior if I want to -- even with the penalty of being more fragile? boo!

You must avoid hidden traps and solve puzzling riddles in order to survive!​

Traps are good. Each race with a unique class? hmmmmmm

 

[Sam Ecorners]

Yeah getting a MM6-7 feel here

The little info that there is at their site leaves me cautiously optimistic about this.

But i need for them to put faces on these supposed M&M fans that are working on this, because if these are the same fans that worked on Heroes VI, they can go #$%& themselves.

Wat. Well that is lame sounding. Why even have a restriction like that? Or is that how M&M lore is these days?

But

Discover a new part of Ashan:

The world of Ashan is full of mysteries hidden in remote places; it is so gigantic that numerous parts of it remain unexplored even by the bravest of Heroes.
Take a look around the Agyn Peninsula, a totally new environment in the Might & Magic universe. Get familiar with its epic wilderness and meet the locals who are full of surprises…

Explore twisted dungeons:

What would be a classic RPG without numerous dungeons to explore? In Might & Magic®X Legacy, you will need to crawl and fight your way through twisted dungeons, immense cities, and mind-boggling labyrinths.
You must avoid hidden traps and solve puzzling riddles in order to survive!
Beware! You never know what is hiding around that next corner!

Sounds good to me.

 

[Gondolin]

That's the romance look on his face.

Dunno, I suppose all four races will have some sort of warrior/thief/mage division, only more fitting their themes. So Orcs could have Barbarian/Assassin/Shaman, Elves Wardancer/Ranger/Druid or something like this. Purely speculating, of course (though Ranger is confirmed).

They dropped always online requierment but we still need Uplay shit to start the games...

BTW dragon bones, Dovahkin confirmed!

 

[Stabwound]

"The Freemage has the potential to strengthen or heal, since she is familiar with all schools of magic. Due to her physical weakness, she must be protected from harm by her companions."

It doesn't sound like they're using typical knight/sorcerer/priest system, which I guess could be a good thing.

The end ITZ is nigh!

ugh. Does the STEAM version of games (that use UPlay) ALSO require that fucking retarded UPlay to play it?

 

[Falkner]

From what I've heard, yes.
