Exodus stands at the top of my list of games I look forward to over the next few years and for good reason; what little has been revealed in terms of its world building has been tremendous. Powered by some of the best RPG makers of our time I have great hope for this game as the premise of the game seems extremely promising, so let us explore that premise together!
I want to be hyped for the game as sci-fi RPGs are my favorite genre, but the state of the industry is simply demoralizing. We'll see how this one turns out (whenever it comes out).
Same here, very interesting ideas (like Gene editing) and much more just to end up with a pink haired, tattooed pierced zoomer with cringe dialog as squad mate. It's drags you back kicking and screaming to current 2024. And thats to be expected. (because that's the actual first squad mate they revealed).
@@franciscor390 sheesh, and here I was getting interested in the game
@@victorhugo3952 No doubt the game will surely feature the interesting concepts that shield&spell is mentioning, just that it is practically impossible to produce a higher budget product without external interference (nowadays slightly more than in the past). Unless you take absolutely no outside deals or money and go full indie there will always external forces pushing pushing their wishes into your product.
That's another thing that makes this cool is this is being made by a group of incredibly passionate developers who have a hell of a resume and was basically given carte blanche To make what they want and so far every interview every piece of information I hear out of this is oozing with excitement and passion that we don't see a whole lot of out of the AAA field anymore due to so much corporate bs. I'm not going to be so hyped that it makes me stupid But there's a lot here to be excited about.
There are a few games I am cautiously optimstic about and this is one of them. I have high hopes for this! Great overview of its story telling potential!
same i hope it is good
Peter F Hamilton is one of my all time favourite Sci-Fi author. That alone would make me interested, and when teamed up with the ME 1&2 people, that makes this something I need to have a look at once it releases. :)
Thanks for the walk through of what's known so far.
the humans checking the planet wheren't lied too. They were looking for green planets which mean planets habitable by life. They made all the checks to see if its safe to remove there helmets and it was at the time. But after some time the planet became toxic for unknown reason which killed them. This story used to convey how diffcult it is to find a habitable world since even if it seems habitable something unseen to cause a fatal problem.
That is partially true but in the exodus website the full story of chapter 5 green world it does confirm that the colonel lied to the people on the planet or at least is taking advantage of the planet being toxic so he can be a dictator among the residents of the ship.
I’m excited to see what “aliens” there will be from evolved animals species
werewolves in space xD
This guy's a furry 😂 jk
@@GrinningBanshee Oh Jesus, I didn’t even think of that 😂😂
Boss video I like your voice very narrative friendly, I’m most excited for the time difference and the power it can bring to a choice. To leave a small town and come home to a city, leave a friend and come back to a legacy they left.
Given the quality of Mass Effect Andromeda - I do hope we'll get a good substitute to it with Exodus.
Although the earlier ME had better stories, I did like several elements of andromeda more. I liked the way they had less worlds with more significant maps to explore, and I liked the way your work eventually changes the world a bit incl. your colony, plus the npcs and quests attached to it.
I’m wondering if Exodus takes those concepts and runs with them. You could have a whole progression of a city with many beginnings and outcomes by just having 2 or 3 radically different versions of each section of the ultimate city, plus surface differences like texturing, billboards and clutter to portray the health of the society
@@peterd9698 I'm not claiming ME:A was horrifically bad from start to end, almost every game has good moments - even bad games.
It's more that when I think about the weak story, the forgettable characters, the generic and forgettable villains, the questionable premise of the implanted AI, the depiction of various beloved old Mass Effect Alien races (most prominently how the Krogan felt... neutered) - all of it combines into a game that for me only wears the ME IP as a mask and doesn't have the old magic.
@someonefromthefuture5269 nice neutered pun
You have such a great narrator voice ♥
Vielen herzlichen Dank!
I’ve read the excerpts of the book by Peter F. Hamilton and the Celestials are VERY different from most alien concepts. We have consciousness transfer, planetary engineering, multiple Dominions and sub-Houses, each with their own chosen specializations. And that was just 2 chapters. I’m getting really excited about this setting and the game. The world building is indeed robust.
I really like your insights. I'm definitely interested in the game and especially the bio-engineering part of it.
Wow... where do I start?
First. I love the look of this game, it immediately makes me want to explore. I'm hoping there is no mechanics for ship battles or learning to fly, but setting a course and pressing a button would be enough for me. The worlds look engaging and different. Not uniform or cookie cutter in any way. I LOVE THAT.
Second. I'm not a science person though I love sci-fi. What I find interesting about what you have said is how weird it would be to see the future of our scientific advancement without having to experience the battle and let downs of attaining that advancement.
Thirdly,. Morality. Just listening to you explain the premise of the story, the names of the distinct alien influences and the words that were chosen for the 'races', namely demons and celestials. Just those two words incite within me a conditioned response that I cannot deny. Am I the only one experiencing this? And to hear that the celestials are afraid of the demons makes me cringe, and not slightly. It worries me frankly because it is a repeat of what I described in my latest comment on your channel where evil (Demons) appear.... and I realize this is only a surface level observation because we don't have the full storyline, but the demons appear to be stronger.
I mean the language and the words chosen are all very religious in nature. Was that intentional? It is an interesting topic to explore, but Exodus, Demons, Celestials (Angels). And the Celestials are afraid of the Demons??? I'm sorry, my Christian mind is having a serious problem with this and we Christians consider such things to be... to put it bluntly... Satanic. I'm trying to be diplomatic in my explanation, but it is difficult lol.
Personally I love moral dilemma in storylines, I think it is ultimately what makes a character who they are. It is also a good representation of life in that we all have to make choices based on our beliefs and personality. As a player who tends to lean toward the paragon story arc... blending with a demon makes me feel... ahem... uncomfortable. I know it sounds ridiculous because it is a game, but it is a form of escapism and though I loved horror movies and Stephen King novels growing up. My preferences are a lot lighter since growing up and having some real life moral dilemma's in my repertoire.
All of that said... I'm going to wait and see. My first impression of the trailers and the story was one of excitement and I want to be excited, but I'm not sure. We'll see.
I'm believing the hype for this game!
Hype responsably
I hope they make a good game with good characters.
Most people want a new franchise we can invest our time in that wont abuse them.
I'm very excited for this story game to come out. I will take my sweet time with it too!
Very interesting video, because i am also looking forward for Exodus and the rebel wolves upcoming game. I hope it will be in the same line as Mass Effect and The Witcher respectively.
It would be dope if they released a "World of Exodus" book prior to the game releasing. With concept art and information about different characters
It's a novel called Exodus: The Archimedes Engine by Peter Hamilton, who is doing the world-building for this IP. It releases in September
So weird, before you even mentioned your second title yiu were looking foreard too...i literally wondered how far dawnwalker was in development ❤
Not far in; it is much farther off than Exodus.
@spellandshield I'll happily wait as long as needed. As long as its well written, has no multiplayer, no in game store and no political messaging :))
@@marcusfreire7349 That all seems likely, only issue is that it might somewhat small.
Have never been much for time travel or time dilation but the biotechnology is definitely interesting and the premise of Exodus seems like it might just be able to pull the time dilation and biotechnology off.
Peter Hamilton is on Exodus? Oh my! Now i'm interested!
Keep up the great vids!
It's a really interesting premise.
I'm just hoping that it lives up to the potential.
Looking forward to this game and the fact that all alien life essentially stems from Earth is probably my favorite part of the lore. It's something I've actually thought about in games like Mass Effect. It's not inconceivable that most of the advanced life in the Mass Effect universe could stem from a single origin, even if it's not Earth, considering that they look so similar. Mostly bipeds with two arms, eyes in roughly the same place, mouths in roughly the same place, they mostly need the same kind of atmosphere to survive. Exodus actually takes that concept and makes it part of their lore. Brilliant.
Yeah but they need a larger eye on them. Most gamers are thinking BioWare fell off hard without knowing the people responsible for the GOOD games branched out and are making this…..the opposite of how people think rockstar is amazing not knowing the higher ups and older devs left and replaced with activist…rip gta
The music is from Mass Effect
I'd love a Starfinder CRPG
Read Man after Man by Chuck Dixon, and then say super evolved humans, would not be as interesting as Krogan or other mass effect aliens.
1) Time dilation. 2) Mah doge. A goodest boi.
If I must deal with time dilatation, that is hard to sell to me. Just think about investments Proxima Centauri if you need to wait 8 years for a possible return that is OK, but a solar system 40 light years away, does anybody wants to wait 80 years to see whether the investment brings profit?
Looks to me like a game that I will purchase on sale with -80% rebate before bothering.
Guys, please leave a comment. This channel is one of the best out there for fantasy and rpg. We should help him grow.
Really apprecate that, thanks!
Channel looks really good. Subscribing.
There are some ideas there. But in Sci-fi, that is not difficult. Making a good story from it is. I see far too many pitfalls in the possible storyline for this to work. But I hope to be proved wrong. A good Sci-fi RPG would be wonderful, and otherwise I shall have to wait and see if Larian can actually pull off such a thing.
are celestials engineered humans or what? Because it would be interesting to become one
Is this on steam to be wishlisted? I could t find it
No release date so not yet.
@@spellandshieldah, too bad. I know there are a lot of games without release dates, but have a Steam page. I will try to remember this game
Let this be good, let this be good... We've had _enough_ (but not only) crap Western games for about a decade now...
the author's name is peter, not alexander
My bad...
Kaiden died on Virmire. Ashley may be less likable, but she's a billion times more of an interesting and real character.
if the women are ugly its DEI and i am not buying
They're owned by wokes of the coast so my expectations are low. I'm sure it can't be worse than Dragon Age Failguard though.
If that's something you fear i can tell you it's already over.
Do you also cancel women IRL who don't look like blow-up dolls with double D cups?
Time will tell if Sweet Baby Inc. dug their grimy fingers into it
The aesthetic for this game looks so boring though
