Ok yeah, it's awesome hahah
That said, leaving aside that they promote the game as a 4v4 melee mp game yet there's now 3 ranged characters, I can't help but think it won't be really good in-game though.
Here's my reasoning: Being a ranged character means you're supposed to play from a certain distance away from the enemies. BUT your teammates are very likely to be close combat characters.
What that means is that you'll be playing further away from the enemy than the teammates you're supposed to protect, wich seems far from ideal, or you'll have to play sticking close to the enemy and your teammates, and in that case I don't see what's the point of being ranged.
It only seems to be ok if you're tanking for Gizmo and/or ZeroCool as they'll hang out in the back too most of the time too.
Maybe I'm wrong and it has abilities that nullify my arguments, I'm curious to see if that's the case
Edit: Forgot about Kulev and Maeve. That's actually a lot of ranged characters for a brawler I think 😅
Also seems Mekko might be viable based on this
I'm of the same opinion, really do think InXile will become one of the best RPG teams in the next generation.
Oh welcome back !
You do know scaling / dynamic resolution is a widely used implementation for resolution right? Devs can target whatever they feel is correct for their pipeline.

cool
Tried for the first time this last beta and liked it a lot, so it's pretty likely I'll be playing it
I was skeptical, but the DF video about this very topic made it seem entirely within the realm of possibility.
Are we all going to ignore the cheeky echo the dolphin reference or am I old? (Mekko = echo)
Ha! You are old just like me, then!
Good point, didn't notice that :)
Dolphins use echolocation so it could just be a general dolphin reference.
Yeah, both the new map and character seem vastly different than the rest of the game.
Might actually try it out at release now.
Mech+Ecco
It would be perfect if the biography says something like "20 years ago helped protect fellow sea dwellers from an alien species and that's when it managed to get the mech tanker"
It's really cool. I saw it but hesitated to post since it's not gaming related but they deserve props for it.
Every once in a while they come up with things like that. Like when Amazon and Google were opposed to a law proposal asking them to help fund affordable housing in the Seattle area (there's so many big tech companies that prices have soared, making it almost impossible for a teacher or other professionals not as well paid to buy a house) and MS decided on its own to pledge 500millions to it.
Agreed. What great content those guys make. I think they basically nailed down the XSX and XSS consoles with that video.
I think they got the PS5 pegged too.
Are the likes of Age of Empires IV, Everwild, Project: Mara and Senua's Saga: Hellblade II most likely 2021?
Even though these two will be Global Publishing hopefully we will see The Falconeer and Tunic in 2020.
Worth mentioning Space Engineers comes out on April 15th which is currently console exclusive to Xbox. KartRider: Drift also currently console exclusive to Xbox and think it is maybe Spring or Summer (?)
Tunic and The Falconeer are not Global Publishing. Tunic is being published by Finji. Falconeer has some help from XGX but it's not published by them, afaik.
Also, yes, AOEIV, Everwild, Mara and Hellblade 2 are probably 2021+ projects. I think that Flight Simulator will also end up releasing in 2021 tbh.
I would think so yes, they seem like games that are further out than the others and likely why MS revealed them so early to show subscribers what's coming (which I think was a smart move).
The real surprises will be at E3 for sure.
This lack of news about battetoads makes me wonder if the game can't be going through something similar to the Sonic movie that changed the look by not pleasing fans. The look didn't please, a move to something more classic like Streets of Rage 4 would be interesting.
I doubt it since there are some people that actually liked the design. This makes me sad though as I was really looking forward to getting my hands on battletoads sometime soon. =(
My mistake in regards to The Falconeer and Tunic. With them being talked about as console exclusive I just assumed they were being published by Microsoft.
Yeah I'm guessing they went back to the drawing board tbh. Really wasn't getting much positive feedback at all.
Flight Sim is pretty much a lock for 2020. Its been in testing with real players since 2019.
Having tried it a couple of times, my main issue with it was that it was too easy to lose track of your character on screen, when many sprites got stacked in very crowded situations. And the bike sections were pretty much unplayable, overly difficult. They definitely need to improve in these areas.
QA Testing and insider stuff doesn't mean the game will necessarily come out soon
True but I'd be very surprised if it was delayed to 2021. It seems very far along.
Yeah, i wouldn't be surprised at it releasing this year, but i wouldn't be shocked if we didn't get it in 2020 either :P
Dash + tongue increases the pace of the game a lot.
I was surprised when I played it because it felt a lot like a 2D DMC, where you have to use that to push non stop combos and achieve higher scores.
Nice, never heard about this Seattle thing.
I was hesitant to post it too, but I saw some folks from Xbox/Gaming team saying they're working from home for a while, so I guess it's the whole company and it's subdivisions.
That's the original story

While searching it I found an update:

They have pledged an additional 250 millions
