Looks really good. I hope the roller skate thing we saw in the trailer is an actual movement option.
Looks pretty cool visually. But I'm not interested as long as the game is on the Epic store. No game will make me buy anything there.
This is a day 1 for me for sure.
This seems ambitious for the team, excited to see what they do with it.

I can definitely see some similarities but this looks a hell of a lot more colourful than Ashen. And I bet it won't play like it!
The later areas of Ashen (Like the Bazaar city) are VERY colorful. I dont mean to bash Solar Ash, HLD is one of my favorite games of all time, but its really weird how similar they look.
If the song from the trailer isnt from Disasterpeace, its someone that sounds a lot like him.
I know right! Just a tad less grungy if you know what I mean? Sounds great though.
Sounds a lot less distorted, which is great. Its iconic for HLD, but this being its own thing it wouldnt make sense
I've given up my dignity on worse things than buying a video game on a different launcher.
Man, it really sucks that the PC release platform is overshadowing the announcement of what looks to be an amazing follow up game from a developer who already put out a fantastic game. I have super high hopes for this (originally backed HLD, and was not disappointed with a kickstarter for once). If the EGS exclusive deals are what it takes for indie developers to flourish on all platforms (eventually), I'm all for it.
Declarations of hate for egs like this have gotten way more obnoxious than EGS
I can't wait to see how everyone reacts when Google starts doing the same thing.
Google will likely outright acquire devs, similar to how Amazon acquired a few game studios themselves.
That's simply not possible. EGS is deserving of everything leveled at it.
Honestly if Epic was buying out these devs and bringing them in house and not just exclusivity deals I wouldn't have an issue. ATM It mostly just feels like they are looking to piggy back off most people's work and then throw cash at it last second.
Nahh. People have the right to vent about Epic throwing around Fortnite money to wall off potential buyers who want PC games to be available on multiple store fronts. If it needs to be mentioned in every single EGS thread then so fucking be it. We are consumers and therefore anything that is anti consumer should be called out consistently.
That's exactly what they're doing.
Anyway sorry to say this because HLD was cool, but fuck epic and I'll see this game in 12 months if I still care by that point.
Not gonna lie, it's easier to just write the check and let them do their thing vs buy em up and try to have a full dev pipeline and all that jazz
Tencent kinda does it that way too (heavily invest but let them still rock independently)
