Surprise release goes against the Paradoxest trick in the marketing book, which is letting streamers play it for the week lead up to release.

If you want to generate word of mouth, one of the best way is to have people going around telling everyone how mad they are that they can't play "X upcoming super good game" that everyone on youtube seems to be playing.

The last weeks before XCOM2 dropped were horrible because of that. Let's dispel this notion that 2K doesn't know what they are doing. They know exactly what they are doing.

Victoria 3 in the WoD would be retarded. Congrats you invented better Steel, you get +10% Pentex. Your Mage pops are unruly and demand anarchism. Werevolf revolutionaries rise up and take literally arms.

No they are literally manipulating mortals into believing science is real, thereby neutering magic because everything supernatural exists simply because people think it does.

I really really want a Culture-novel based 4x from Paradox. Start as a regular 4x, but find out after colonising your fifth system that actually space is already quite densly populated with advanced species and expanding beyond the pretty border they assign you isn't really an option. Plot and scheme your way up the civlisation ladder until colonising new planets isn't a thing anymore because your whole society lives on orbital habitats or city-ships. In the end, balance guiding the younger civilisations that have been put under your wing (and stopping them from sneaking about breaking the rules) with your desire to sublime away and achieve mass godhood.

Oberleutnant posted:Have you heard of a game called Stellaris Yeah as great as I'm sure it will be, Stellaris is still Paradox-spin-on-MoO2. I want something that's tries to really grapple with the way that going up a civlisation level would fundamentally change what the player's priorities are or even what seems relevant.

Stellaris looks uh, absolutely nothing like Moo2. Unless your basis of comparison is 'is a 4x'. In which case that's even still pushing it.Alchenar posted:I want something that's tries to really grapple with the way that going up a civlisation level would fundamentally change what the player's priorities are or even what seems relevant. And like, this is pretty much a real feature of the game? I mean it just depends on exactly what you're talking about, but the whole structure of the game shifts pretty significantly as you progress. Specifically, as you reach the mid-game and territories have largely been staked out already, things shift towards being more like a Grand Strategy game. Where politics and factions and the like become increasingly more important. And from what they've said, scenarios should be pretty customizable so if you wanted to start well behind the curve of the rest of the galaxy, you could probably set it up to do so.

Everyone can calm down, the 5pm pacific event will be Obsidian related, which means probably a PoE-style game in the WoD IP. https://www.instagram.com/p/BC8IQfNgmXB/

Not entirely, I'm sure Obsidian will have a presence but Paradox has been pretty clear that at least Stellaris has something major to be announced, widely speculated to be at least a release date and most optimistically 'surprise it's out now'.

From the linked instagram message quote:We and @obsidian are excited to show off our new project for the first time! makes it pretty clear that the focus is going to be on Obsidians next game, same goes for this teaser page http://humanresources.paradoxplaza.com/

Does a federation in Stellaris have a name separate from the names of its member states? If it does, who gets to pick the name?
|
# ? Mar 15, 2016 16:46 |
|
Screens from the federation dev diary suggest they do have a specific name, but I don't think it was revealed how it's chosen.
|
# ? Mar 15, 2016 16:52 |
|
Since they have an elected President, I would imagine he would get to pick the name when it's created.

It should be voted on imo and the player should be able to write a custom name. AD2287: Attempts by the Terran Supremacy and Xaluthian Collective to found a federation fail after the Humans refuse to negotiate their demand that the federation be named the "Goku420 Gaybutts Brigade".

No one is seriously thinking the game is going to get a "it's out now!" Statement. That's so not going to happen. Optimistic isn't the word for that kind of hopefulness. If it's out in the next 4 months I'll be pleased.

Let me dream man I know it's probably not, but I do think it will be before May. They said on the PCGamer video that leaked they're polishing and balancing.

I mean, only a fool thinks it will be released this week; Clearly they are going to announce a steam open beta.
