I wish they would stop using the same combat system in all their games.

Know just improve those 2001 tier animations

This looks terrible. Like MMO-tier bad world design.

>>378238518

The only thing PB does better than every other developer out there is the world design, it will be great!!!

Not interested in this game just because I dislike post apocalypse.

There is no hope for this game, it's literally fucking Risen 2 in space

PB is dead

>>378237469
That combat looks worse than Risen. The world is pretty and all but that looks unplayable.

Still the same engine they are using since Risen. No wonder it looks like absolute shit

>>378236564
Hay OP, maybe you should phrase your posts in a way that doesn't make you look like a shill.

just make it smaller and make it look good fuck

>>378240713

>>378241467
>HUEG OPEN WORLDS
That's the opposite of what PB does though. They make neat small handcrafted open worlds and every other aspect of the game sucks balls.

>>378241485
Not when the gameplay looks like >>378237469 you stupid kraut.

>>378241306
Well, we still got Daedalic so not all is lost

But German GameDev is pretty fucked overall,yes

>>378237469
That's not looking good.
Awful animations, severe pop-in, empty open-world, static low-fidelity environments, low interactivity with world objects, shoddy sound design (might be placeholder like the UI) and a combat system combined with a stupid AI that takes any fun out of it.
I doubt the studio will survive this.

Everybody is fapping to new trailers and material for games like CoD and BF1 organisiert a new DLC for Fallout 4 or shit like Skyrim but i'm not allowed to show you some material of an fucking unknown game whitch will have a maximum of 200000 sold pieces, fuck you all!!!

They unfortunately have no budget to work with. Everything is cheap and cobbled together, slap some ENB and some fog effects on it to make the graphics look half way decent, and that's it.

It's a shame, PB used to be a great studio. And I'm sure if they had thrice the budget they'd be able to make at least a half way decent game.

>>378242002

>>378242226

Yeah, sry, german auto correction

>>378237469
The combat system is the worst offender. They had an amazing combat system in Risen 1, but then they decided to ruin it in subsequent Risen games to appeal to the consolecucks, because it was too hard for them. PB deserve no pity, fuck them and their shit nugames.

>>378242002
Fuck off you underage tard. You are allowed to shill your game,which is why this thread wasn't deleted, but that doesn't mean people won't shit on it for being garbage.
Did you expect to receive any special treatment? It's almost like you've never been on /v/ before. I suggest you go back to marketing this shit on whatever websote you came from Achmed.

>>378242121
I hate the budget argument. A talented team can turn a shit budget into gold. It's just that these retards don't know how to scale things back and focus on making the gameplay itself great.

Someone give these people a budget

>>378242316
Because german studios can't afford AAA budgets. Now if they were in a country with extremely low living expenses and extremely low wages like Poland then you could make a massive open world RPG with 5mil euros but germany has the same, if not slightly higher, cost of living than the average US state but without the entertainment industry backing.

>>378242634
They don't deserve one. They've pissed away whatever good will their fanbase had for them after releasing turds like Risen 2 and 3.

>>378242419
They can shill on it as long as they want to, but i'm not here to promote this fucking game, i just thought some of you would like to see some new material of this game, i know that a game like this cant succeed so i'm not trying to promote anything. Sry, i just tried.

>>378240815
>Risen 2

>>378242634
Why? The first Risen didn't have a budget and it was good. It's their fault if they ruined 2 and 3.

It's not that you're not allowed to show the materiel, it's just that it doesn't look good. A lot of it looks very placeholder so hopefully they'll improve as they get closer to release but PB has been putting out such shit quality recently that I sincerely doubt it.

>>378242562

Ich sag ja auch nichts zu deiner Meinung, die ist akzeptiert, hab ja kein Recht dazu diese nicht zu akzeptieren. Jeder kann das Game lieben und auch hassen. Ich wollte euch nur neues Material zum Game zeigen, ich wollte keine Werbung machen. Ich liebe PB, will aber keine Werbung machen, dass man mir sowas vorwirft, dass macht mich rasend, aber jeder kann natürlich über dieses Spiel denken, was er möchte, bin nicht hier um Meinungen zu untergraben, sry wenn ich dies so rüberkam.

One of the last few developers outside of Japan to give their female characters big melons.

>>378243551

Wieso denn, ich mag das Material, natürlich ist das sehr weit davon entfernt perfekt zu sein, aber ich denke das Game wird gut, um einiges besser als Risen 2 und 3, welche ich auch halbwegs genossen habe.

>>378237469
demon's souls came out 8 years ago
what's their excuse for this pathetic mess of a combat system?
stunlocks, instant non-telegraphed attacks, barely working clunky hitboxes and dodges etc etc

and it's been the same since gothic 3 (Risen 1 combat was kind of barely OK somehow then went back to shit)

WHY

I'm not saying souls style combat is the only viable 3rd person melee combat system but they're clearly going for something like similar (stat based, slower, more tactical), except they somehow manage to fuck up EVERY part of it

even Lords of the Fallen managed to get the core of it right on their first try

>>378242371

>>378243854
>Risen 1 combat was kind of barely OK somehow then went back to shit
LMAO, Risen 1 combat shits on any Souls trash by virtue of not having i-frame dodges alone, you fucking shit-eater. Risen 2 and 3 are shit exactly because they've literally butchered the combat system and made it more "souls-like" with retarded i-frame rolls instead of trajectory based dodges in Risen 1. Neck yourself.

I dont care how shit the combat is if the exploration nd emergent quests are on par with gothic II

>Looks pretty nice for a Piranha Bytes game.

Honestly, the handcrafted environments in Piranha Bytes games always looked pretty good to me with a lot of attention to detail and tons of little personal touches everywhere.
Animations, character models and the like on the other hand range from alright to absolutely shoddy.

>>378244307

Da hast du recht, keine Frage. Ich rege mich nur immer wieder über einige Idioten auf, aber das ist 4chan, hast recht. Nochmals sry, hatte hier keinerlei böse und aggressive Absichten.

>>378242002
The trouble is that when a game don't have an audience the only people who enter the tread about said game is the people who want to shit post. And so you get the normal shill cancer nonsense.

>>378244008
that's irrelevant, I'm not talking about animation quality I'm talking about core combat mechanics

>>378244036
rolling and it's i-frames are just one small part of the combat system. some things are OK in Risen, lots of other things aren't. and you're out of your mind if you think Risen 1's combat is better than even the worst souls game

>>378237469
Looks absolutely awful, though I'm not surprised since PB hasn't made a single good game.

I'll play it, they make decent shit at worst.

This looks better than the early videos. I'm glad they improved the animations.

Budget isn't the issue, going multiplatform with ~20 people is.

What the fuck?

Quick, which Risen game is the best?

I'll play it

>>378245313
1 but really you should just play gothic

>>378245313
Risen 1, handily.

>>378244869
>some things are OK in Risen, lots of other things aren't
Name them, shitter, because, again, Risen 1 combat system shits on any Souls trash.

What we had in Risen 1:
>manual input of attack trajectories
>each weapon type has 3 different attack animations and can be swung in 3 different directions - from the left, from the right and straight plus a single attack (that also serves as a parry move) from below
>no retarded arbitrary restrictions on how you can or cannot swing a weapon, no retarded set movesets
>parries have to be aimed manually within a narrow cone, which is not so easy to do when fighting multiple enemies
>dodge system that actually takes trajectory into account not just the timing; you cannot dodge INTO the enemy's weapon and just get away with it due to having i-frames, like you can in Souls games
>no retarded 10 hour wind-up animations, compared to souls trash
>shields cannot block retardedly powerful swings from powerful beasts, you actually get stunned from trying to block when a fucking gorilla tries to maul your face

All in all, you cannot even compare Risen 1 combat to souls trash, Risen 1 just BTFOs Souls games entirely.

>>378237469
>those exhaust fumes

Is this Dieselpunk? (I know it's just art design incompetence but it might give it wonky charm).

>>378245381
Risen 1, but yeah, this >>378245381

>>378245263
>Budget isn't the issue, going multiplatform with ~20 people is.

I dont even see why they bother. Do console owners even buy their games, let alone know what makes them different? Theyre never going to get that casual audience because they cant polish a game and the mechanics they love arent casual friendly either.

>>378245453
>each weapon type has 3 different attack animations and can be swung in 3 different directions
*each weapon type has 3 different attack animations PER DIRECTION OF SWING and can be swung in 3 different directions

The total number of different attacks you can execute per weapon type is 10 and these are just regular "fast" attacks. Add Power attacks to this and you get over 15 animations per weapon type.

>>378245313

>>378245265
they showed some alpha-ish stuff, where the jetpack just made you go up and down without any sort of response from the character

>>378245569
Is that even their own decision to go multiplat or that of their retarded publishers?

>>378245381
>>378245483

To hell with it, then.

>>378236564
Yeah game looks suprisingly good, compared to the first screenshot.

Then again, there is little point if the gameplay is shit.
Nevermind the melee combat not being perfect - at least it's acceptable - but the ranged combat is just absolute garbage. Add to that the fucking jetpack that you get right at the start and single handedly destroys both balancing and exploration, you just know the game is going to be shit.

Also the world is going to be huge, but the team is small, so it's likely we will get a lot of nothing or shit content as well.

>>378246926
Seriously, does that shit even mean anything these days anymore?

This is the PRE-alpha (which basically means "we barely have anything together in a coherent package") of Elex which looks like it's almost ready to ship:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfUo4fMWtMc

Meanwhile this is the alpha of Gothic 1 which actually looks like a clunky, ugly, cobbled together mess as it should in that state and nearly not at all like the finished product:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDtT-Bm7BiE

>>378242121
Noteworthy: they could just launch an arena game for $15 or free with microtransactions.

>>378247998
Nowadays "Alpha" footage is only used to generate hype for the game so it has to look pretty. The game probably past aplha stage but they're calling it that so they can dismiss any criticism because dude it's just an alpha lmao.

>>378247998
UT4 alpha maps were pure geometry, so atleast one dev still knows the meaning

>>378237469

>>378247094

>>378246839, here.. wasn't trying to be negative. It looks good in-game.

The sliding-while-swinging could come out much less distracting though. That's probably temporary.

>>378237469

>>378236564
They're still using the Risen 2/3 gameplay.

so? i'm comparing difference between fake pre-alpha (dow3) which looks identical to "full gold release" to real pre-alpha which changed a lot in last year.

Fuck relic they only did this to remove all criticism cuz they know fanboys will keep defending their shit till launch just because they put "pre-alpha meme sticker"
