I like what I see.
dear god that combat UI what the fuck.
Was anyone else bothered by the shadows?
Clearly all of the characters were floating on air.
Oh, I'm not very familiar with the worlds. The 9th world is some kind of cosmic garbage bin then?
There have been eight previous worlds. You may refer to them as ages, aeons, epochs, or eras, but it’s not wrong to think of each as its own individual world. Each former world stretched across vast millennia of time. Each played host to a race whose civilizations rose to supremacy but eventually died or scattered, disappeared or transcended. During the time that each world flourished, those that ruled it spoke to the stars, reengineered their physical bodies, and mastered form and essence, all in their own unique ways.
Each left behind remnants.
The Ninth World is built on the bones of the previous eight, and in particular the last four. Reach into the dust, and you’ll find that each particle has been worked, manufactured, or grown, and then ground back into drit—a fine, artificial soil—by the relentless power of time. Look to the horizon—is that a mountain, or part of an impossible monument to the forgotten emperor of a lost people? Feel that subtle vibration beneath your feet and know that ancient engines—vast machines the size of kingdoms—still operate in the bowels of the earth.
The Ninth World is about discovering the wonders of the worlds that came before it, not for their own sake, but as the means to improve the present and build a future.
Each of the prior eight worlds, in its own way, is too distant, too different, too incomprehensible. Life today is too dangerous to dwell on a past that cannot be understood. The people excavate and study the marvels of the prior epochs just enough to help them survive in the world they have been given. They know that energies and knowledge are suspended invisibly in the air, that reshaped continents of iron and glass—below, upon, and above the earth—hold vast treasures, and that secret doorways to stars and other dimensions and realms provide power and secrets and death. They sometimes call it magic, and who are we to say that they’re wrong?
More often, however, when they find leftovers of the old worlds—the devices, the vast machine complexes, the altered landscapes, the changes wrought upon living creatures by ancient energies, the invisible nano-spirits hovering in the air in clouds called the Iron Wind, the information transmitted into the so-called datasphere, and the remnants of visitors from other dimensions and alien planets— they call these things the numenera. In the Ninth World, the numenera is both a boon and a bane. It makes life very different from any other time on Earth.
I still await for that one response "proving" to me why the outcome of a technological limit of those times (being capable of rendering half the screen or less) must remain prevalent today, ie ship with a UI that is so fucking large even my grandma would wonder why, she can still read just fine thank you.
Less work for the console ports.
Looking like PST was never the point.- colour palette. Someone really loves it bright, frequently shiny/reflective and psychedelic.. their artistic priviledge, yes, but the outcome's not particularly reminiscing of the original PT. Which was the whole point.

I'm annoyed by the abuse of Capital Letters (see what I did there!) to introduce Cool Concepts (see what I did there!) in the Announcement.
