Game News Project Eternity Kickstarter Update #49: Prototype Demo

[Roguey]

Owned again, inEPTile.

Characters are small as hell, as the camera is zoomed really far out. Not sure if I like. Looks like the infinity engine games that were intended to be played on 800x600 but played in 1928x1200 with mods. I like that the shadows bends and lights bends over the 2d backgrounds in the way you would expect.

You'll be able to zoom in the camera anytime you want. BG:EE has this feature.

Nice, that's at least one thing that modders haven't been able to do to my knowledge.

Now when is BG2:EE coming out?

 

[Infinitron]

Yeah but it looks like shit in BG:EE AFAIK

 

[aris]

Do you have any footage of it in action? I can't into searching the internet.

 

[Infinitron]

Quality is too low to discern pixelization/blurriness though.

What the hell are you talking abo

Sorry, just realized I was responding to Roguey. Anyway, this does look fantastic. Yet more proof that 2d is superior.

 

[J_C]

It does. It gets blurry and pixelated when you zoom in.

 

[Roguey]

I'm talking about the inxile clown posse and their terrible, terrible artists.

 

[Suicidal]

Looks very nice, can't wait for some gameplay/combat videos.

To be fair, Torment looks far less shitty.

 

[IDtenT]

Physical dynamics in 2D? That's just a headache waiting to happen. I wonder if they realised the cost for 2D will be more expensive than 3D?

Fucking amazing. If they manage to keep up this level of quality for all areas it will be the best looking game since a decade or so. Good job Obsidian!

Surf Solar should be happy about this.

The best

!st Looks great
now the criticism
- I'd like to see a different weather / season for the same area
- I'd like to see animations for a strong wind
- The plants art doesn't impress.. like nothing. And I'm not asking for variety of bushes and grass here.
- Dust on foosteps
- Small animals roaming
- dynamic cloud shadowing the ground.
Small bugs
- as the night comes, the shadows don't rotate (accordingly with the sun's position)
- at night the bushes move from the breeze the trees do not .. trees are more likely to be affected by the wind.

What a gaylord
criticism and bugs he says. OLOL


but since dynamic cloud shadows is actualy a good proposition...

I'd be fine with any improvement. But the thing is, I rather they spend their money on more important aspects of the game than graphics.
Right now it looks good enough for me.


The only real issue for me are the character sizes. But I'm on a 15'' laptop, so I don't know.
Buying a 24'' screen may help with that.

Also when they zoomed in it looked pretty good and since (according to Roguey) you can zoom... all is good.

 

[Jedi Exile]

I think that characters are about the right size, when you have to fight dozens of monsters it could be quite handy. And if you want to see details, you can zoom. Also, I like the mystery vibe. You can really feel that this is an ancient temple or something and all sorts of surprises await you inside.

 

[Surf Solar]

I shed manly man tears, looks awesome! Don't have anything to nitpick about.

 

[Coboney]

Pretty nice to see - obviously its still early on but great showing for where they are and presents a lot of beauty for the world.

Also this is nice to see for Torment since Obsidian and inXile are sharing technology.

 

[Pyke]

This kinda thing makes me wanna make an RPG!
I have so many questions to ask the programmers and artists....the water flooding in an out of the scene is amazing.

 

[Surf Solar]

I really like how the characters are detailed despite being small compared to the gameworld.

Also, I am curious if they created their own stuff for the animated foliage, or if they use the same program that I use to make the trees and grass wobble. Because, in the video, it looks a bit stiff and can be made looking much better. But that's just minor nitpicking.

While I'm terribly impressed with your arbitrarily-chosen contempt for inXile, you certainly have a funny definition for "owned", Roguey.

Neogaf's gonna Neogaf

The water level change looks silly. Water doesn't just appear or disappear like that.
That said, i don't expect them to make a complex water flow system, as cool as that'd be.
Also, wind. Or lack of it. Or rather, the odd way the trees and bushes sway. Looks wrong.
But i reckon those can still change. Somehow i don't expect them to change though.

I'll admit that lighting looked impressive. But otherwise, meh, nothing special,, just good enough.

The scenario is very pretty. I'm not particularly impressed about characters models, on the other hand.

That Torment preview looked definitely better.

 

[Irxy]

Looks better than Diablo 3.

 

[felipepepe]

Gorgeous. Oh, how long have I desired to see a game like that in full HD, taking advantage of today's technologies.

 

[Scruffy]

boner achieved, great way to start a day!

 

[serch]

Fucking awesome, still white mouse with black keyboard though.
