Interview Might & Magic X Gameplay Video + Developer Q&A

[St. Toxic]

Typical Codex, rolls over for the first awesome button they find. Hitting an attack button and see numbers fly out of monsters is difficult indeed. Do you think Ubisoft is publishing this because they had a sudden change of heart?
No. Because M&M games were always retard friendly and nowadays even Skyrim is much more advanced gameplay-wise than them. I predict this'll be nothing like Kotor.

This looks great, I don't know why it's not getting more media attention. Actually, I guess I do - Ubi probably doesn't want to spend a lot of cash advertising a game that might not turn out to be a slam dunk.

The comments on that Youtube video are hilarious, though - several retards are calling it a Grimrock clone.

 

[Cyberarmy]

I hope we are not that overpowered in real game(at begining at least), I'll just assume this is a demo with high level characters on a tutorial mission hence the faceroll. Also it looks like we are going be auto looting, at least gold.

One week ago if someone told me that Ubisoft going to publish a new M&M game and its gonna be pretty old schoolish, I probably punched him and kept on swearing for a long time.
But as for now,i don't know what to think. still not trusting Ubi or his fresh developer but this videos and infos are making me a bit more than excited...

LOL, thanks for pointing that out Made my morning.

Unfortunately, even if the game turns out to be good, that kind of lack of media attention does not bode well for its commercial success (and, as a consequence, for a possible sequel).

Ubisoft should ask Brian Fargo to consult them about creating media buzz for an old school RPG revival without spending millions on PR.

They are busy with spending their millions on AC4 and Watch Dogs PR...

:CAUTIOUSLY FAPPING:

 

[octavius]

The "everyone shoots" = 1 turn thing is directly ripped from M&M3-5; they still take individual turns doing stuff in melee.

I wonder if you get two shots if you hit the S key quickly two times?

Ubi is afraid of how it will turn out, that's why the low key exposure, don't forget who is working on this and what their previous efforts.

Their best bet is hoping it's a good game and then word of mouth on forums like the codex providing the "rpg cred" to motivate the old school fans buying it.

On the other hand, if they price it at 20$ and put it on iOS, it will sell like hotcakes, no matter if it's good or bad.

 

[CWagner]

Aside from this Uplay is required like in all other Ubisoft titles.

Not sure if I really want the game with all the other games around the corner (WL2, AoD, P:E) but if I do there is no way I'm playing the official version.

Pay the official.
Play the unofficial

 

[MicoSelva]

As I already said in the main FFX thread, this looks really promising.

About aggro mechanics. I hate these. I really do hate them. BUT. They could actually work in a blobber, where you don't have any way of arranging your party and want to keep the harm away from casters. I was always annoyed that my mage in M&M VI/VII got easily two-shotted, unless I watered down his build by boosting defense stats.

 

[Jaesun]

Please don't have level scaling cancer to this.

 

[Jaesun]

EDIT: These are Hero's of M&M 6 screen shots. Jaesun is a retard. :/

 

[Infinitron]

Overhead perspective??

 

[IDtenT]

Overhead perspective??

Heroes.

 

[Jaesun]

Oh FFS! This is Heroes 6 not Might and Magic X. Sorry.

 

[Grunker]

LUL

RPG Codex - contrary to the gaming press, we do our research

I wouldn't get my hopes up for balanced combat if you also want stuff like no level-scaling; in the M&Ms I know every combat is generally either a steamroll (quick or slow depending on which M&M game) or you get multiple characters instablicked and you run away and hit fountains/explore for loot/get stat boosts/train up then come back. The gameplay function is just to give you reasons to do the exploring and level-uppa stuff, there is close to zero tactical thinking in a given fight (which is why it is so important for them to be fast). There are some little exceptions for enemies that are immune to certain spells or to melee, or they break your items if you let them attack you in melee, etc. The meat of the game is in the poking around, solving dungeon puzzles, and so on, not in the combat.

[ohWOW]

Seems to be better than legend of grimshit gameplay.
