25 new minutes of Below gameplay running on a Xbox One X
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Same here on my TV via YouTube on Xbox One X. I can see everything fine, not too dark or anything. What does bother me is the color banding or whatever that weird oily effect is, it's not part of the game, some other games have this too.

Below - Expectations
Is it just me or did they just straight up turn off the lights for this game. Can't see shit.

I haven't seen this game since the Xbone reveal in 2013, haha.nope.
2016
Exactly, if you don't have a strong opener, what chance do you have of keeping players engaged? Compare to the progress you'd make in several other roguelikes in half hour: games like Binding of Isaac, Spelunky, Into the Breach give you a much more immediate sense of purpose and challenge to propel you. With this game I don't even know what I'm doing or why I should be doing it.

I dont know for me its fine. I like they less handholding and you in your on way unravel the story of why are you there and whats going.
Hey folks, Nathan from Capy here!
Just a quick note re: darkness. The first thing you do when you start the game is set your Gamma. As long as you set it to a point you're happy with, you should be able to see what you need to see. The game is meant to be very dark, as your lantern (or worst-case, a torch) is central to your exploration. If you don't like dark games, that's totally ok, just be aware that this is A Dark Game™.

Footage seems clearer on Theorry's second video tho
How hard is it?
I don't mind obtuse, and requiring plenty of patience, but I was hoping it wouldn't be a frustrating experience. Obviously people can find something being obscure as frustrating, so it's hard to describe what I'm asking, but hopefully you get my drift. I don't mind being stuck, I mind having my ass kicked.
So I'm much more a PS fan and I sold my Xbone years ago but I thought this game looked sick since it was announced and I was hyped to see this thread pop up... but damn, all these negative comments are a bummer... lol. I still think it looks sick, I'd love to play it if it comes to PC.
If you pick a fight with a tougher enemy and you aren't prepared, you will die. If you aren't cautious, you will die. If you make big mistakes, you will die. Its a hard game, but we think we've made it fair.
I love the look and tone of this game and the write up on Eurogamer told me everything I need to know. Its an easy day one.

You probably haven't seen it for a while, buy you're right. It started off mostly 2D but throughout development we shifted to mostly 3D.
So would you say it's more like Souls, in that it's not actually demanding in input?
People say Souls is hard, but it doesn't actually require much from the player in terms of dexterity or mastery. Just patience and awareness.
These are your best friends in our game, too. Some weapons / situations might need more dexterity, though.

Game looks and sounds absolutely amazing. From what I see, there's literally not a single thing I don't like.
The wait is killing me. Please announce a date soon, and please be sooner than later (say summer would be ideal).

You can always connect your laptop to a TV and play with Steam's big screen mode.
Seems like souls games is the easy mode ppl want compared to this.
Concept sounds nice, but god damn.
Well, it is for me, yeah.
I don't want games to bend to my will. I'm glad there are games that kick the shit out of people for those that want that. I lose some games I'd love to play in the process, but so be it. I can enjoy games like Cuphead vicariously.
I know. I tried to do that to play Hollow Knight but I just couldn't get my Dualshock 4 to work with Steam on my MacBook. I just gave up and I'm waiting for the switch version lol.
Gonna be a cagey dev and just say: it's not short
Can't guarantee, but we'd like to.
It's the evening here in Toronto but I'll try to answer more questions between life-stuff and/or over the weekend.
I'm liking the slower-paced and more strategic gameplay of Below compared to other indie games. If they zoom in the camera a bit, it'd closer to Secret of Mana gameplay, I think.
Is there any other similar game out there? I found them too fast for my liking.
