Pyro said it was good, so it's good

I trust IPL on narration and world-building but visually it looks very cheap and lame.

I'm not against going fully 3D but it does neat more depth, effects, details, etc. The animations of the player character also look quite lame and "video gamey".

The top down camera looks weird with the 3d graphics

Even if they manage to nail the atmosphere again, the new graphical style sort of takes away from it.
>>
>>724547519
It looks awful

>>724547519
Looks like what it probably is: someone bought the IP and is making a cash grab.
Hope i'm wrong.

>First game was lacking a wave defense mode

I'm not holding my breath. These assholes had one job and they fucked it up.
I might pirate a sequel, but if it doesn't have better mod-support they can go fuck themselves.

IcePickLodge is involved in the development so I'm pretty interested so far. Haven't played the first Darkwood so I am unable to be disappointed - hopefully their engagement doesn't interfere with the development of Pathologic 3.

I loved Darkwood, but this looks like soulless cashgrab horseshit. And it's made by Ice pick lodge of all things.
>>
>>724547519
So it's about an old Slavic dude and his gay lover, or so the graphic has me believing.

Alphyna described it as two separate teams working on each game so I doubt one will interfere with the other.

Cautious curiosity. Initial reaction was disappointment because I thought it was a desperation sequel. Wizards haven't been able to make a new project besides that little football game no one played. And I don't want them to do a sequel. But since it's made by another team I don't mind treating it as a different spin-off. I haven't played Pathologic but I know it has a good reputation in a similar depressive slavecore style so those devs might be a decent fit.

And just imagine the kind of exciting trilogy we can get out of the setting now that it's going to be revealed that there were more of the entity that ended up crashing and infecting the planet! How many? As many as the fan demand asks for!

>>724552342
meh. even RE games are sort of different even though you still fight zombies.vthis is all too samey

Cautiously optimistic.

I liked Darkwood, but man it pissed me off to get all geared up and get cucked out of using my arsenal in some kind of final gauntlet.
>>
>>724547519
Wtf. I thought the devs disbanded
>>
>>724554942
iirc they sort of just said "we are never make more darkwood fuck off kurwa" and went radio silent
>>
>>724554942
Some of the original devs are "consulting" IPL on this game, whatever the fuck that means, probably just got their paycheck
>>
>>724547519
3d looks bad. They should at least mask bad 3d with some kind of visual effects or filters, it's something straight out of a browser game right now.

They sat down and relaxed themselves after DW, and made a very soulful football manager: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2403430/Soccer_Kids_Alpha/

Their twitter bio literally says "currently on hiatus", because they're "dysfunctional" when working together.

Another atmospheric kino incoming. I would have preferred some Siberian industrial region but this is pretty good setting too.

Might be cashgrab shit

Needs Female enemies. Preferably with tiddies bouncing.

I trust IPL when it comes to narrative, world building, writing and such, but the writing shown in one of the screenshots on the storepage doesn't impress me. I'm not saying I need Pathologic tier story, Darkwoods writing was pretty straightforward, but still IPL does have a reputation for having great narratives, or at the very least pleasant dialogue.
