The nostalgia infused pitch had me going, the graphic style looks nice very neonish but nice.... but that gameplay is not clicking with me
Is it too hard to make a straight up dungeon crawler with some well developed gameplay without all that bullshit? It looks gimmicky as hell with Jedi power tricks levitating shit
I already kickstarted that piece of shit so I am stuck but shit....

The USP they are pushing seems really pretty dishonest to me.

The gameplay solutions clearly were planned by the designers., just as they were in Thief and U:U. Yet they are claiming this as some evolution of that formula?

I'm pretty sure that "combat by levitating crate bridges on fire" isn't something anybody on the team envisioned ahead of time (I believe they've said on their forums that they first saw players doing it in testing). It just works™.

I mean I really want them to succeed since I hate what Arkane became with Dishonoured and Prey. But this gameplay vid either its like pre release Thief vids which were also awful and we are looking at the indie game of the decade, or they really dont know what they are doing with Unity.

Also the Q&A they made dont make me hopeful, when one the of so called LGS member starts praising modern gameplay shit.

It looks like Star Citizen - limited to two colour hues in every scene.

The gameplay looks like it will be fun. But will it having a living world aspect to it like the originals had? It kind of just looks like a level by level game.

The field of view could definitely be a little bit wider, very boxed in feeling.

It's my likely that like all games with fancy physics engine they just deiced to put crates fucking everywhere. I sure remember Deus Ex having a bunch of crates in most places.
