ELEX - Prologue Trailer

[Myrthos]

Moriendor informed us that the IGN YouTube channel has a new video, the official prologue trailer of ELEX.

More information.

That was pretty decent. Very different from anything PB has done previously, but I liked it.

Now I'm sure the usual suspects will show up to say how horrible it was and how terrible the game is going to be.

 

[lostforever]

Its better than I expected but still not feeling it

 

[Eye]

Well, here I am. Though I'd call myself the unusual suspect.
I don't like his accent, I find it hinders me focussing on what he's saying. *
Apart from that the different pictures in the prologue do not really appeal to me. To me this looks like just another war game. With guns.

*O, why couldn't they have gotten Brian Blessed as well?

I think the trailer is nice in a cheapo sorta way.
This low budget stylization is actually better than a half-assed CGI.

I really liked the opening: vast, cosmic, etc, etc.
... but the premise soon degrades into some firefight over blue crystals (no sound, was viewing at work) , and I was thinking, oh boy, here we go again.

Myeah. Kinda mixed on this. It wasn't entirely bad, but... eh.

Not sure why they didn't simply use Earth, instead of a fictitious planet with humans on it. Where did those people come from? Is it a colony from Earth? Were they space-faring then? If so, couldn't they have escaped the asteroid? Or is this a separate strain of the human race (can they be called human then?) that evolved on that planet separate from Earth?

Then, again, I might just be overthinking it.

@Wiretripped
Perhaps humanity is not a planet Earth exclusive.
The Universe is a very wast space,and something similar to us crazy humans can exist out there(in game or in reality).

Trailer is not that bad. But,somehow I have a feeling that the game will be average,that better average RPG type. We shall see...

The planet seems like it was at a slightly more than modern level of technology but not space-faring.

Where...are...THEY?!

 

[BoboTheMighty]

Did Elex give everyone in Magalan a Texas accent?

 

[luj1]

That rednecky Borderlands-style narrator puts me off

Even though its a great choice considering who're they marketing it to... fat kids & console casuals

 

[luj1]

I think the trailer is nice in a cheap sorta way.

To me actually not as cheap-looking as some other graphic novel styled intros , like Grim Dawn,Tranny or Borderlands, which were pathetically amateurish

This is more on par with Nwn style cinematics which established the whole thing.

 

[Elwro]

That accent is absurd

I'm HYPED!!

 

[BoboTheMighty]

Anyways trailer looks solid, small $ titles should go this way. One odd thing: ...Elex gave the "power of magic". Did they even have or know of "magic"?
Kind of seems out of place in this setting, hope it's integrated better ( ME biotics ?) than this.

 

[luj1]

Its not the first time either. In the Guild Wars franchise magic was also granted to the races by a meteor crash

 

[joxer]

Never heard of Borderlands.
Rednecky style would be my mustbuy. Unlike others however, I hear nothing rednecky, there is no "ma head hurts, ma feet stink, and I don't love Jesus".

 

[Elwro]

I thought rednecks loved Jesus.

 

[duerer]

One odd thing: …Elex gave the "power of magic". Did they even have or know of "magic"?

Yup, this is where originality counts.
Dune had the Spice and "mutation", Philip Dick wrote drugs and "psi-powers", Heinlein had "dreamers", Asimov mystified "science", comics depicted "powers", cyberpunk invented "implants", etc, etc, etc.

Elex has … well… redneck magic!

John Deere of PAIN +5!

Maybe codex rednecks do.

Here's another one, Witty Britty style:
