The trailer was pretty good.
But can they get that atmosphere right? It’s completely dark and gloomy in the trailer, while the in-game screenshots don’t fit that doom and gloom very well.
If this game lives up to all the hype then that would be the greatest thing in the history of ever. My doubts are very high, though.
Sweet, where’s the gameplay?
Seeing that the gameplay is the main attraction for once, I think that’s going to be the next big thing they show. Might take a while, might not. All I know is that it certainly gives what I’ve been reading about the gameplay some context. I thought blinking was going to have a teleportation effect or something, when it’s actually a burst of speed in the direction you’re looking. It’s way more subtle and I’d say better than what I imagined.
Also the look of the game has a painterly look to it that this trailer doesn’t have. All the characters have slightly exaggerated features, and the contrast between shadows and highlights are sharp and striking. I’m actually kinda disappointed that the trailer had to go and make everything look realistic when that wasn’t the goal. I wanted to see the game’s true style. Ah well. I know a lot of people who’ve only seen the trailer will be disappointed when the gameplay shows it’s head. They probably won’t be expecting the slight cartoonyness of it all.
Can’t wait to see the gameplay
I noticed exaggeration in the character features in the trailer, not the first guy so much, but the guards especially. I haven’t seen the screenshots yet though.
Most of the stuff is on their facebook page.
It better be open world like fallout and skyrim.
That this game can be passes as Arcanum 2
I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a game in my life. I really really REALLY hope they can pull this thing off to the best of their ability.
Looks pretty good. I hope the story has some girth and depth; luckily, by the looks of it, it’s saturated in lore and fiction.
Also, Steampunk? Fuck yeah!
Psyched.
This, Max Payne 3, Colonial Marines, it’s shaping up to be a good year for games
Not open world, or an RPG. Wasteland 2 is going to be similar to Arcanum, this is nothing like it
They’ve said that Dishonored is a linear set of levels, but that each level itself is large and nonlinear, and offers multiple sidequests or tangents.
Which is awesome.
^^^ So basically it’s like Crysis.
Yeah the trailer was awesome, I really liked the dark figure in the beginning who sealed (huhuhu) the deal too, his voice was oddly sinister. I feel they tried to run us through everything we might expect in the game - the setup, the plague, the skills and even first person - so naturally the pacing was way off but heeeeyyy it’s a game trailer I shouldn’t complain. That’s exactly what does things are meant to do. In any case, Viktor Antonov rocks.
You’re correct, sir!
You said similar? With magic and steampunk with some toiken’s stuff in it?
Ha! I like what you did there.
Anyways, anyone know who is doing the soundtrack?
^No idea, but I’m curious as well.
Nope, it’s a post-apocalyptic game, but it’s an isometric turn-based game with a large focus on character builds. Main difference between Arcanum being that it’ll be party-based.
Wait, wasteland 2 is in production?
Call it fallout than Arcanum, you had me disappointed here
I haven’t even played Wasteland but I did scoop this running the headlines of one or two gaming blogs:
Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
