Might and Magic Might & Magic X Pre-Release Thread

[Crooked Bee]

So, RPS seem to have fucked up and unwittingly disregarded Ubi's embargo on posting the M&M X trailer: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/201...-the-might-magic-x-trailer-first/#more-164457
(Note that the video is set to private.)

I've also received that trailer from Ubi and the letter clearly says it can only be posted at a later date. I wonder if RPS got a different email or if they have really just overlooked the not-so-small print.

I also have to admit I lol'ed at TotalBiscuit's "Apparently not" comment.

I guess that's what the teaser was about: https://mightandmagicx-legacy.ubi.com/opendev/blog/post/view/520e24e8888ef62e65000001

I must say, RPS have been treating this game pretty shittily. They haven't been giving any coverage, and now this.

Potato CD-Action site also posted today that video with polish subtitles.

Here you go.

Looks nice. Starts out Grimrocky, and then...outdoor scenes, NPCs!

 

[Crooked Bee]

Hmm, if CD Action posted it too, I wonder if the "big" magazines have been given the permission to post it earlier, then? Would make no sense tho', since there would be no point in the embargo at all if that were the case.

Also doesn't explain why RPS' video is set to private and hasn't been fixed yet.

 

[Amn Nom]

This looks so good, can't argue with another good dungeon crawler when they pretty much are extinct today outside of Grimlock.

RPS video is up:

 

[Excidium]

BWOOONG

 

[Alchemist]

The classic series returns after an eleven year hiatus, and the first act of it will be available to early-buyers on Monday. Yes, Monday! Blimey, that snuck up from nowhere.

Holy shit - I had no idea they were releasing part of it so soon! And the rest in Sept? For some reason I kept thinking this game was several months or a year+ away from release. Now I'm getting excited - and the trailer looks great.

[IDtenT]

How much is it?

 

[Excidium]

Who knows. They tell you to go to their site to check but there's no option anywhere

Well, I'm giving myself permission to post what big magazines have posted, which happens to be their trailer.

@Luzur Do we have any info about an animation speed slider or general speeding-up mechanics? The tile transitions and animations in that video look like they will drive me insane after about five minutes.

 

[IDtenT]

This is how big magazines got big. Early exclusives. Codex could learn.

 

[J_C]

@Jaesun I think you can change your stance from cautiosly fapping to fapping furiously.
This might turn out shit, but what we are seeing in the treailer, is at least as big of an incline as the Kickstarter pet projects, if not bigger.

 

[Shadenuat]

I want to see more than two mobs or one NPC on screen at a time and meteor shower spell before I pass any judgement
Yeah I know it borrows more from Xeen, but then it could also borrow 6 character party from it
In my Might&Magic, I want a real world, not a city to replenish potions and few Grimrock-dungeons

dunno if i can reveal anything detailed, but that is a genuine ingame video.

wait for those that buy the early access uploads a ton of stuff on youtube, maybe?

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Tile-based movement pattern outside of combat? Meh, I sorta hoped for free analog movement.

But other than that, it looks excellent.

 

[Morphi]

Allow me to self quote me from the their forum:

Limbic ! When I buy the "Deluxe Digital Edition " can I "upgrade" it later? (Does it serve as coupon for the boxed collectors edition with cloth map that I want ?)
Edit: It seems (from the trailer) that we can buy a digital copy and get the box /manual/map for it later. Am i'm right, Limbic?

Because it want it on Monday but i also want my cloth map.

 

[Gozma]

I was watching that video and was thinking, "If shit is going to be this slow they should have done open world like the apelings wanted." The payoff of step blobbin' vis a vis free movement is that you can play it fast. Luzur at least tell them on the insider forum stuff to say in hype interviews that there will be like an animation speed slider and/or a "no animations" mode or something if they're doing that.

 

[Grunker]

If shit is going to be this slow they should have done open world

It's like that thing Grunker was talking about

 

[Stabwound]

That video gave me a boner. Holy shit.

But.

Exclusive dungeon and DLC for early adopters? What the fuck? Fuck fuckifuckcjicufck.
