Game News Pillars of Eternity Kickstarter Update #69: Pledge Management Portal, Gameplay Teaser, Interviews

[Tigranes]

Looks great, lots of icewind dale vibes in there too. Animations, yeah, but I assume they'll work on it.

 

[Likvidator]

Spell animations look like barf. Especially fireball. Christ, the most iconic spell has to be the most interesting. Not only is it banal, the 3d effect of the sphere looks like its 2001.

 

[Random Word]

Are Codex contributions integrated into the backer portal, or should we not concern ourselves with that sort of thing?

 

[General Maxson]

It's kinda amusing to see RPS more hyped for a turn-based than a RTwP game.

What do you mean?

The Codex will have its own backer account. DarkUnderlord needs to deal with that.

I mean than Nathan Grayson seems to be more hyped for Wasteland 2 than for Project Eternity:

Pillars of Eternity, relatively early though it still might be, is shaping up to be an impressive piece of work. I’m not quite wowed like I was when I went to see Wasteland 2, but so long as Obsidian sticks to The Plan, I think it’s got a good chance of pumping out another strong RPG.

RPS also approved of Torment's combat decision: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/12/09/the-turn-based-tides-of-numenera-torment/

That IS weird. But maybe he thinks Wasteland 2 will be something similar to Fallout 3...

It must be Brian Fargo's charm.

The Adam Smith of this article also really likes D:OS

In other words, the end is nigh.

Pillars of Eternity... i'm not a fan of the name, or the logo, but damn that video was awesome, except for the spell effects, so thats 3 things i don't like...

 

[kazgar]

No complaining about asking for more money? Or still too busy being distracted by shiny things?

 

[Sensuki]

Wilderness areas are being outsourced, so more Wilderness areas = more $ for outsourcing
Companion might mean bringing another Obsidian inhouse writer onto the project after South Park (I do not know who did companions on FNV, but you guys will)

Looks very nice, though I never doubted that. Still seems pretty goddamned generic though. Will keep any real critique until we see some actual gameplay or screenshots which don't read "Generic Fantasy Game #3758563524".

 

[sea]

Jesus fuck. Those are probably some of the most beautiful pre-rendered backdrops I have seen in any game, bar none, and the characters look great too. Really damn impressed with this.

 

[Zed]

yeah they have some mad skillz post-render photoshoppers at obsidian, that's for sure.

 

[MrEvilGuy]

I'm not sure if I like the new name. They should have stayed with Project Eternity.

there's only one vocal, how are we supposed to make up some silly acronym?

 

[Sensuki]

CRISPD I guess. Lol.

hm they promised a bg game and they are delivering one...

Funny thing is, this update is still not on Kickstarter.
