I watched the presentation on Friday and was somehow disappointed. They were all "we finally make the game we always wanted to make" - but it's the same thing as always. E.g. the Elex is just another name for the Magic Ore from Gothic. The whole presentation was just some kind of justification for their usual stuff, never had I the feeling that they strive for something new. Which is of course okay, but it left me with a "uhm, okay, whatever" feeling.
The graphics looked kinda meh (not regarding 'next-gen' quality, as I don't care about that, but regarding style and uniqueness), but those might become better. A lot of the screenshots they showed were not very good in the sense of lighting or composition. Might have been a problem with the projector.
And of course ELEX will feature yet another "men's world". I asked Björn about that, and he confirmed. Will I actually care about another random generic white dude's quest for rescuing a world full of shit? I dunno.
