...this.This is a third person shooter rpg?
These guys barely knew how to make a crpg that doesn't run like shit, missing basic functions and features, etc.
I'm supposed to trust them with this? Hell nah.
Can't be worse than MindsEye
What? I thought the show's version of Drummer was a fan favorite?Interesting, the last telltale or whoever game focused on literally one of the worst characters, glad to see they doing something different.
I wish em luck, the Expanse and the books it's based on are great. hard sci-fi
Or the books.Based on the TV show I've never seen?
I just don't know how people could think that, she was the most insufferable girl boss, modern audience character ever.What? I thought the show's version of Drummer was a fan favorite?
I mean the background does. You got multiple factions, alien menace, lots of politics and cool tech. All kinds of RPG possibilities. Pulling it off is who other side of the story though.Great book series. Didn't watch the the tv show. Don't know if it lends itself for an rpg much.

Let's hope they're as successful as Arrowhead going from Magicka/Helldivers to Helldivers 2This is certainly unexpected. But...
...this.
The jump in ambition is certainly high.
Very good scifi if that's what you're into. Books are also excellent if you prefer those.Based on the TV show I've never seen?
Yep, and if you think about it, BioWare pulled it off and Owlcat CRPGs are just as good or better as BioWare of old.I'm all fucking in!!!! Loved the show and this is looking good.
The studio deserves to be given achance. And stop with the "these devs can't handle it" or would you rather have the same old recycled shit over and over?
If you like Sci-Fi even a bit, read the books or if you don't like reading, watch the show. Books are better, but the show is still very very good.Owlcat's Mass Effect? Could be good.
Not familiar with The Expanse, though.
That's one of my concerns. They are spreading themselves pretty thin.Hmmm. Owlcat doing dlc for Rogue Trader. Owlcat doing Dark Heresy. Owlcat doing The Expanse game.

Maybe I should actually read the books, then. Is there anything to compare it to? I assume from watching the trailer that it is a more "grounded" setting? So mostly humanity in space, no aliens, etc?If you like Sci-Fi even a bit, read the books or if you don't like reading, watch the show. Books are better, but the show is still very very good.
Could you imagine if Larian ditches 2 decades worth of development on some of the most complex tactical/turn based RPG systems and goes full TPS with their next game?I'm glad they're trying something new. Making a TPS isn't some unattainable thing. Bioware pulled this off 20 years ago. They are doing this at the exact right time before Larian does it. Hope it pays off for them.
Sure. Its not hard to imagine what Bioware literally did.Could you imagine if Larian ditches 2 decades worth of development on some of the most complex tactical/turn based RPG systems and goes full TPS with their next game?
Maybe Revelation Space, Culture or Vorkosigan series? But I kind of like The Expanse better vs all of them.Maybe I should actually read the books, then. Is there anything to compare it to?

Man, this sounds excellent and really came out of nowhere for me. I was convinced they were going to go with a small "indie" project as their UE game.The second team behind The Expanse is not the same devs that worked on CRPG stuff. There are some areas where small portion of staff is busy with multiple projects, but isometric team is almost entirely divided between The Dark Heresy and RT/PF DLCs.
One thing I know for sure (you don't need to believe me on that though), a lot of The Expanse staff worked on Phantom Liberty and other games of similar caliber and the entire pipeline with this project is vastly different from current Owlcat's MO.
So yeah, I believe that they can actually pull this off.
I can also confirm that Owlcat's The Expanse is based on the books, but there will be some nods to TV show here and there.Man, this sounds excellent and really came out of nowhere for me. I was convinced they were going to go with a small "indie" project as their UE game.
And books were better. So that's only a plus. Not that the show wasn't excellent.I can also confirm that Owlcat's The Expanse is based on the books, but there will be some nods to TV show here and there.
I've just ordered the box set for books 1 - 3. The mention of the "Epstein Drive" in the synopsis gave me a small chuckle, though.Maybe Revelation Space, Culture or Vorkosigan series? But I kind of like The Expanse better vs all of them.
That's pretty awesome and yes, in retrospect that was amusing.I've just ordered the box set for books 1 - 3. The mention of the "Epstein Drive" in the synopsis gave me a small chuckle, though.
