Look at that, another pre-alpha screenshot

 

[Excidium]

We're hopefully past that stage now considering beta is in 3~4 months

Trait:
Myopic - You can't see very far, but your near vision makes up for it. You get +2 damage to popping nearby moles.

 

[Excidium]

Is that zoom level possible in the actual game? Makes me question why they bother with a minimap.

 

[Shadenuat]

Maybe there are bigger maps
Also, you could use minimap to see enemies when depth of field and other vomiting filters are on

Would be great if it was. Fuck close cameras, that shit has no place in RPGs.

 

[Sensuki]

I liked the closest zoom level in Shadowrun Returns the best. Motherfucker kept resetting on me though.

InXile gets points for accurately simulating my eyesight when I forget to put my glasses.

Those PC characters are still fakely inserted into the scene, right? They look like little hobbits near those gigantic tracks & train...

The answer is to get a good manager to actually run the company and organise the finances (e.g. Feargus Urquhart

Lawl.

Don't laugh, Obsidian would have been bankrupt years ago if Feargy didn't know what he was doing. An 120 employee RPG-exclusive independent developer in fucking California? That's insane.

Okay sure, but he's criticizing Broken Age for going over budget... What Obsidian title didn't run out of money? (and don't fuckin say Dungeon Siege 3). DoubleFine's been around longer than Obsids, and I believe they are also based in California, and they own some of their own IPs, and they are generally in a much better place than OEI.

We'll see how Obsidian handles their KS funds though.

Actually we don't know a lot except AP which we can well assume went over-budget. And Double Fine isn't in a better place than Obsidian (and has less employees as well).

Main difference is though that one company learned from their mistakes and the other didn't (And that's exactly where DSIII comes in).


Apart from all that, though.There is another thing. Who's in charge of PE

Josh Sawyer is the Project Lead and Adam Brennecke the executive producer. While they only add up to 2 games + 1 DLC between the both of them, ALL of these were surprisingly well managed projects.

I'd have a lot more concerns if Chris Avellone was leading the project.

Looks better than i expected, i like the muted colors instead of the over saturation of the color palette in earlier shots. One thing that still looks horrible tho, that DoF effect, why they think that adds to the graphics is beyond me.

 

[Infinitron]

I really like how small the characters are. This particular screenshot kinda reminds me of the opening scene of Once Upon A Time In The West.

 

[Duraframe300]

Reminds me of Desperados

I hope we get some extreme close-ups:

 

[Infinitron]

First playthrough party: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach and Charles Bronson (AKA the Good, the Bad, the Ugly and the Lithuanian Hitman)

 

[Sensuki]

Wild Wild West. Jim West. Desperado.

One of the rangers is using a Mariachi hat isn't he?

 

[felipepepe]

Didi, Dedé, Mussum & Zacarias.

I think it's because the locomotive is really big. The tracks themselves and all the other objects in the scene look realistically proportioned in relation to the characters.

So Blondie, Tuco, Angel Eyes and Harmonica. An all-gunsligner party.

Well, we can give Tuco some mechanical skills:



and Angel Eyes definitely had a few ranks in Diplomacy:



...as well as Intimidation:
