Game News Piranha Bytes' New Game: ELEX

[Grotesque]

edit: I am wondering how many of the key people responsible for Gothic & Gothic 2 still work at Piranha Bytes?

 

[SCO]

ELEX is going to be edgy, dark, uncompromising, complex

Stopped reading right here


Fuck off

 

[throwaway]

Why? That could be Codex's permanent tag.

 

[Zeriel]

RPG Codex is edgy, dark, uncompromising, complex, and xenial

Make it so DarkUnderlord

 

[undecaf]

Fingers crossed for something semi-entertaining... despite how this appears at first glance.

edit - Oh fuck this, who am I kidding....

 

[FeelTheRads]

Also what do they mean with "hand-crafted RPG"? Are RPGs typically machine-crafted?

Ridiculous buzzwords getting even more ridiculous.

OUR GAME IS PROGRAMMED!!!

EDUCX? Bah.

CODEX stands for Cunts, Outrageous Dickheads & Effeminate Xirs.

So a SCI-FI (Gothic with GUNZ)? game from PB, with a different Publisher. I guess I'll sit back and watch in morbid curiosity. I don't expect much, based on the progression of games they did from Risen to Ris3n.

Waiting for Day 1 DLC areas...

It's science fantasy, not sci-fi. Whether or not there'll be guns, who knows. I don't think they'd emphasize the science fantasy wording if it was going to be like Fallout, though.

Complex
Omnivorous
Dark
Edgy
Xenial

I want to fist, but I have no hands.

 

[Angthoron]

Cacophonous
Outrageous
Demented
Edgy
Xenophobic

+ Rather Prestigious Gathering

[Angthoron]

We have a Facebook page?

 

[Ismaul]

They have to be in xenial to believe those are good buzzwords.

 

[uaciaut]

At first i thought that actually using the word edgy is ridiculous as fuck. Then

Why? That could be Codex's permanent tag.

I was wondering the same thing. My only guess is there won't be randomly generated - and I hate the term - content. Beyond that, I have no clue.

Maybe they're making this game on clay tablets or something.

 

[Kem0sabe]

edgy, dark, uncompromising, complex

hand-crafted RPG experience

eclectic, lavish, exhilarating, xenial open-world RPG

 

[DeepOcean]

ELEX? Dear Lord, germans trying to be edgy.

 

[Forest Dweller]

Don't have any faith in PB's competence to deliver a worth vile RPG,

They're actually worth a lot of vile.

 

[evdk]

We have a Facebook page?

Still less shameful than the Steam Curator page.

You know it!

Well, in a sense. Semi-procedurally generated landscapes, clone fetch quests from clone NPCs, uninspired, by-the-numbers content...
PB's best games felt different than this formulaic bullshit.

EXCEL? At least there'll be some number crunching.
