an RPG immersive sim turned into a hack and slash RPG rougelike was not something i expected.

>roguelite
Ew.
>StreumOn
Fine. I'll keep an eye on it.

>>718601305 (OP)
>UE5

>>718602973
I'm fairly sure it's UE4, at least Streumon's twitter said that they are cooking up a new game on UE4

>>718603587
that's better

maybe they are working on EYE 2 and this is just to fund it? they talked about the game and their love for it extensively recently
I hope if they ever make a sequel they do it in Source 2

>>718601305 (OP)
>All that text in Arial
fucking classic StreumOn kek

Hell fucking yeah I am going in.

so their new game wasn't E.Y.E 2?

>>718605198
this sounds like a prequel

>>718601305 (OP)
Bump, looks cool

>>718607604
With romeanceable weapons too! Well not romanceable, but they have a relationship gauge.

>online co-op
kewl

Wasn't planning on buying any other games for the rest of the year but I might need to make an exception for this depending on how much it costs. Hopefully it's not too jank

>>718605198
>And as many speculated, the game takes place two millenias before the events of E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy, and trades cyberpunk and shooting for a dark fantasy and brutal melee combat. It is a prelude that shines a light in the obscure genesis of the Secreta order.

>Hopefully it's not too jank
Never played E.Y.E. I take it

>>718608963
Oh I definitely have. Im just hoping AFTER A DECADE AND MAKING 3 GAMES THEY WOULD HAVE LEARNED BETTER BY NOW

>>718608880
>It is a prelude that shines a light in the obscure genesis of the Secreta order.
Cool.

>trades cyberpunk and shooting for a dark fantasy and brutal melee combat
What the FUCK where they thinking?

>>718609375
They were thinking
>It is a prelude that shines a light in the obscure genesis of the Secreta order.

>>718608963
I just hope it's the fun kind of jank and not the frustrating kind.

>>718608880
So it's just doom dark ages lol

>>718610391
Doom Dark Ages had procedurally generated levels and romanceable swords?

>>718610460
>romanceable swords
Uh?

>>718601305 (OP)
It's no ratclick but it'll do.

>>718601305 (OP)
>early access
Don't do me like that

>>718601305 (OP)
>no guns

Now where are the exploding Hammers

>>718612187
In the waifu forge, awaiting smithing.

>>718601305 (OP)
even if it's shit I'm going to buy it and keep spamming at them to make E.Y.E 2 and not more warhammer slop

>>718601305 (OP)
at least they had the courtesy to show that it's going to be hot dog shit up front

>>718615743
The only dog shit I see is your head falling into a vat of acid and me wearing your moron face as a party mask.

>>718601305 (OP)
Fuck it I'm in.

vermintide with actual blocking/parrying? alright
some guns would be cool though

>>718616932
The weapons seem to occasionally double as guns, if you stretch the concept of "gun" to ki blast.

>>718601305 (OP)
>another fucking CO-OP game
they never learn, do they ? Deathwing flopping so hard just wasn't enough, is it so hard to have a SINGLE PLAYER game these days ?

>>718617417
You can play this off-line on your own.

>>718617585
you could do the same with Deathwing and the experience was awful due to AI being giga shit, i hope it will somewhat passable.

>>718617664
I thought Necromunda Hired Gun was a fine shooter, so if they can iterate and improve on that then Daimon Blades should be very decent.

>>718601305 (OP)
is it unreal engine 5?

Not what I want out of an EYE prequel but as a Vermintide knockoff I'm in.

>>718617417
I'd rather they make a fun co-op game that hopefully rakes in money as co-op games can manage to do so they can spend their time making E.Y.E 2 right rather than to rush to it immediately on whatever funds they have available. They're back to being indie so they're on their own for cash
I've got no doubt in my mind that they want to make E.Y.E 2 but this definitely feels a safer move than relying solely on the waning popularity of a 14 year old game that managed to get popular in large part due to it being available for only a dollar or two

>>718619703
They've been making cooperative Warhammer licensed games for years.

>>718619936
No, they made one game and that game's enhanced edition as far as Warhammer coop games go.

>>718619936
They made a single one. I don't know much about how monetary stuff works with publishers but it's likely fair to assume that Focus saw a large portion of that money. Same goes for Necromunda which also if anything is the odd game out of their catalogue for being single player only

>>718617417
>they never learn, do they ? Deathwing flopping so hard just wasn't enough, is it so hard to have a SINGLE PLAYER game these days ?
Well would you look at that, a singleplayer game just like you wanted, made right after Deathwing.
Woops, it's complete ass just like their other games :^)
But my legs are okay, amirite?

>>718620552
Necromunda Hired Gun was just a jankier Doom 2016. I'm a big Streum shill and even I didn't like it.

>>718620552
You're such a fucking snake in the grass, guggelfunsus.

>>718601305 (OP)
>you can play everything solo and it is properly supported
I'll buy it. At the very least, this is the only thing that might get us EYE 2 one day

>>718601305 (OP)
>instead of making a proper EYE sequel they made Vermintide: Lidl Edition
No thanks.

>>718601305 (OP)
>roguelike
into the stinky streets of india it goes. a designated street even

>>718620304
seeing as I've heard people ramble on Focus' practices on at least two occasions, I'd also be willing to bet that they didn't get much
Hired Gun wasn't awful, but it was clearly rushed out the gate. Streumon took a while to iron out the bad jank, but missing a release will really harm a game nowadays, especially for such a small studio

After seeing the trailer, I can only hope that they deliver on the gameplay.
I don't mind dealing with shitty menus and having all the dialog in comic sans, but the combat, powers and weapons must be able to stand on their own outside of the roguelite elements
I do like the idea of the chaos perk though, that sounds exactly like something that the EYE team would have loved to implement back then

>>718624173
Good catch! It better be just as broken

>>718601305 (OP)
>not a rogue like/lite
thanks god

DAIMON BLADES is our first game since becoming indie again. And as many speculated, the game takes place two millenias before the events of E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy, and trades cyberpunk and shooting for a dark fantasy and brutal melee combat. It is a prelude that shines a light in the obscure genesis of the Secreta order.

Before guilt, there was corruption. Arising from brutality, blood, and sacrifice, the original cycle.

More than a traditional action coop game, we are refreshing the formula with a strong focus on RPG elements, and a roguelite structure for infinite replayability!

KEY FEATURES
A brutal first person slasher with roguelike progression
RPG customization and level ups; loot, resources and craft
Living Daimon weapons that empowers / corrupts you
Play solo fully offline, or join up to three friends in online coop
9 biomes with unlimited variations for unique levels every playthrough
Over 20 diverse enemy families, each with their own tactics and abilities
4 lethal boss encounters to learn and dominate

>>718625715
>DAIMON BLADES is our first game since becoming indie again
I thought that they only left their publisher recently, wouldn't Daimon Blades have been in development while they were still under them?

>>718601305 (OP)

Yep, it's Shartide all over again

>thousands of bugs and graphic issues
>no guns or cyberpunk
DoA

>>718601305 (OP)
Will be funky and co-opable?

>>718624803
based schizo detected. but honestly, “chaos” as a gameplay mechanic is the most Streum thing imaginable-they can't balance a difficulty curve to save their lives so they just offload it to RNG and call it “emergent gameplay.” If E.Y.E taught me anything it’s that chaos usually means summoning eldritch horrors by accident and breaking your own legs mid-fight because you equipped the wrong aura. Can’t wait.

>>718628474
honestly yeah. I couldn't be mad at them if the balance was never a thing, kinda like if Deus Ex could randomly spawn in any EYE mission (outside of objectives I mean)

a complete waste of the good will EYE has gotten over the years

>>718617417
Hired Gun is the only single player game Streum On has ever made. Their first game, SBO, is fucking impossible without several players to soak up the casualties.
>who /co_comb/ here

>>718630447
To be fair, they already blew that with Deathwing and arguably Hired Gun. SBO and EYE are really the only good games they've ever made.

>>718601305 (OP)
YOU KILLED A GOOD AND CARING DAEMON

>doesn't use source engine
dead on arrival

>>718604727
No it isn't. UE4 was a blight upon the games industry and I celebrated its death although that was too early it seems

I TOLD YOU TO NOT MAKE WAVES

>>718601305 (OP)
If EYE has been fighting demons for thousands of years why did they never tell anybody?

>>718632036
No idea. The Secreta being thousands of years old and basically the Illuminati was already canon in EYE, though. Schizo French writing, I guess.

>>718601305 (OP)
just looks like waveslop
love EYE but I won't be playing this

>>718632232
which is funny because E.Y.E is fundamentally waveslop too
it just let you interact with the world in amusing ways that modern game devs don't allow for

>>718632036
EYE isn't the secreta. EYE works for the secreta but to be we don't really know if the secreta that exists by the time of Rimanah = what the secreta originally was
I think there were mentions of the secreta being overthrown/destroyed at some point, and it was never explained how they came back by the time of EYE

>>718634615
>EYE works for the secreta
wait, no that's wrong, they were created by them but EYE mostly fulfill its own interests by that point
Fuck that lore is confusing
