Interesting, though I'd reckon the darker palette was much better for mood and setting, plus it made Skellige in the daytime, parts of Novigrad, and especially Toussaint pop out that much more.

Second this its what makes the game really work for me. Its grittier or something with the muted colours and wilder landscape...although the second DLC (name escapes me right now) with the "fairy tale colours" was amazing so i'm basically contradicting myself ha.

The darker tone makes me think of the wild atlantic way but with witchers and monsters etc. What a time to be alive.

edit Toussaint

To be clear, I don't have a problem with the way the game looks, but that was the point others were making.

I could see this ultimately getting a downgrade, but unlike something like the Division, I can't see the ultimate result being completely divorced from what we've seen.

That would have been Toussaint.

I don't really reckon it was contradictory, more that the game (and the first two apparently; haven't played them) are so dark and dreary in nature that a more light-hearted, fairy tale like (literally depending on what story path you chose) send off was kind of fitting.

That looked awesome. Only watched the 15 minute version, so didn't see any driving, but i'm leaving it at that and will not watch anything else to do with this until the release trailer, regardless of how long it takes!

Nice analysis video on the character creation.

Forgot to say how much I appreciate the third person driving. I don’t know what explanation they give for why it’s possible in an FPS (I say this because they actually have a logical explanation for the HUD) nor do I care if they provide us with one at all, driving in third person is essential.

Billy86 · 28-08-2018 8:05pm

True, though if they have an option to switch it would be great too - first person driving in GTA on the motorways etc can be fantastic... though in tight spaces not so much.

Zero-Cool · 28-08-2018 8:24pm

1st person driving in far cry works very well. Yeah, would be easier in 3rd person but it's much more engrossing. GTA 5 looks savage in 1st person driving but it's way too fast and hectic. Not sure if they were driving slow in the demo to show off the world but looks like 1st person driving would suit the gameplay.

I turn into fecking Schumacher in GTA first person driving at speed for some reason, which is especially odd because I'm absolutely woeful at just about every racing game ever made.

One issue with first person in the game is that there are a fair few tight spaces due to the nature of the city. With how in detail the world looks, I wouldn't be surprised at all for there to be chances to bump into NPCs that give quests etc in the game just by sheer chance on the streets, so it might be somewhat of an issue of accidentally making an enemy of one of them by hitting them or one of their mates etc. Also the same if there is a Fallout 3/NV 'karma' type system where being a clumsy driver might get you confused for being a homicidal maniac that nobody wants anything to do with.

I'm probably overthinking it there, but it's just something that crossed my mind earlier.

I'm sure there'll be an elite difficulty mode you can play ( and subsequently tell people that you played ) when it comes out.

Gbear · 04-09-2018 11:02am

I hope it's high risk high reward and not just bullet-sponginess.

ME: Andromeda's biggest failure in mechanics was how attritional the combat was until the last third of the game, where it flipped to being trivially easy.

I think it's important in shooters that you feel powerful, even if you're also fragile and can't take that much damage.

Anyone have a rough outline on how they'd like to build their V?
I'm thinking morally flexible, follow the money with swords and a motorcycle.
Split skill points between solo and tech.

100% human / no cybernetics
Master unarmed combat if possible
Invest in every way to gain best speech options
Gain tons of money through trading/screwing people
Bribe and yap my way through everything
Maybe hire some protection
Only time I'll touch a weapon is when I'm selling it two sides of a conflict so I can profit off it
Female body
Suit attire

Let's hope any of that can be done

Basically Sombra:

Max hacking ASAP
Stealth camo if available (same for translocator)
Keep friends but be ready to betray them if needed
Be as sarcastic as possible
Screw over the corpos at all costs

I'm just going to get a nice, steady job in Buck-a-Slice.

Baha, fingers crossed for you.

I was thinking of making my character look like her but not going for the skillset.
The older I get the less time I want to spend in character creation.
Purple highlights and on to the skill tree.

I only found out that existed a few weeks ago when I was googling the game, sounds class.

Think the game rights for the franchise are still with CCP Games (EVE online), they'd a plan for a big MMO back when everything had to be an MMO( also their background).

I used to laugh at people who were old enough to play DOOM originally and found it graphic or scary or whatever. But looking back I don't know how I could have been scared (was young kid) with the haunted hotel and the hospital or the werewolf in the park.

Probably at the Microsoft show later. I'm not sure we'll get a huge public demo tho. Think they said they're showing exclusive stuff to attendees.....again.

Mr Crispy · 09-06-2019 1:16pm

Which is annoying given how they built up this E3 as the biggest press event in their company's history. Hopefully they'll do what they did last year, and release a video after positive feedback from attendees.

They're supposed to be showing something else as well though.
