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

The should avoid Inon Zur like the plague. Go to DA for that noise.

Inon Zur did very good on IWD2. DAO wasn't that good though. Although still not bad IMO.

I tried a couple of times today and that's all I'm getting. Is the site struggling with the traffic right now, or is it just me? Does anyone else have problems managing their pledge?

same for me here

I think that the problem is that it wants to be big, epic, hence the big orchestra.

I'm no musician (and hence can't read music) but it seems he's re-doing the melody? (if that's the right word) used in the Kickstarter pitch like Lord of the Rings reuses that particular bit (you all know the one) over and over, as if that is the go-to piece for Pillars of Eternity. If that is the case then I'd be a bit disappointed because it's not very good.

Happenned to me as well. Tried a few times every hours and eventually it worked. Must be site overload.

Yes the trailer music is based on the KS music, no doubt about that. I hope the game music will be different.

I also like that the weapons and armour pieces are all fairly realistically scaled and not comically oversized like certain faggots did for Chaos Chronicles because it wouldn't otherwise be visible from camera distance. Such rubbish.

They should've gone for Project Pillars as the final name. Also, animations look like ABSOLUTE SHIT. Look at the PARTICLE FX, wtf is this 1999?

If only.

it's probably just a matter of upgrading the voodoo2 drivers man, don't sweat it.

He did but he hasn't produced many good tracks lately.I mean,look at Dragon's Dogma and compare his music in the vanilla game with what you find in the expansion by another composer.

Anyway,regarding the music for PoE,I thought it was good enough.

 

[The Bishop]

Music in the trailer is fine. Composition is good, but arrangement is poor and like everything else in this trailer it simply lacks polishing.

Both are shit. Vanilla music is more endurable.

 

[Smejki]

Eternity: Some generic subtitle would be better IMHO.

The music from the trailer is shit. You should ask Sawyer to write another country song, since everything he does is pure excellence.


And that's Inon Zur.

BTW I are confuse. Release date: Winter 2014?

What the fuck does that mean? The game is far from being finished, they just announced some additional stretch goals, and they still want to release it in 4 months? I smell bullshit.

Unless they want to release it in the last week of December 2014. That makes just a bit more sense.

 

[Decado]

Why would anyone mention the quality of animations or spell effects? Isn't it painfully obvious that the game isn't even close to being done? Jesus. Codexers gonna codex.

It is one of those options, yes.

i'm at a loss here. 4 months?
where do you live that it's winter in April?

My bad, i counted December, since it's fucking cold already But it's not an option, obviously.

 

[Shadenuat]

Music just lacks that grim epic combat "punch" IE games had. Need MOAR DRUMZ

Hope they improve on it

Everything else is glorious

Anyone noticed the classy IE gibs after fireball hit? :D

 

[PatataFamilia]

I loved the trailer, but it's still very much a work in progress. I think tonally they made a bit of a mistake trying to sell it as an epic fantasy instead of an exploration/adventure game. It'll be both in practice, but we've seen epic fantasy so much that it's falling on deaf (or at least numb) ears.

Also wish they had shown wichts, feathered skydragons, and skuldr in the video.

 

[Scruffy]

Just watched the trailer, why do they curse us to have no sleep at the end?

no sleep for the rpgwatchER, we're good.

 

[norolim]

Everything about the trailer is good, considering the production stage. We'll see how things really stand when they release a gameplay video.

 

[Cynic]

I dunno why everyone is complaining about the animations...shit, has any RPG ever had good animations?

ToEE

 

[Severian Silk]

So, since the name change occurred I guess we can start referring to the game as PoE instead of PE.

Why would you call it path of exile?
