ELEX ELEX RELEASE THREAD

[Erikkolai]

Looks like some retarded nazi streamer "accidentally" confirmed ELEX 2.

He basically talks about that he is a certified translator and about how much the german localization for Disco Elysium would cost (~200k) which is an insane amount of money for an indie dev.

But then he keeps on going that he has some practical experience with Elex2. He immediately seems to realize that he might have accidentally spoiled it right there and pauses for a brief moment even addressing the potential spoiler.

Sounded legit.

 

[Hellraiser]

Man, I am craving some more ELEX. Need ELEX 2.

 

[Elex]

We already know.

 

[GhostCow]

I'm really surprised how long they are taking and that there hasn't been any official news. I remember when ELEX first came out everyone thought the next game would be out in a year or two

 

[Sranchammer]

ELEX was not match for COVID

 

[GentlemanCthulhu]

Come on... the monsters in Elex most certainly respawn. I mean, there are at least TWO reddit threads dedicated to bitching and moaning about this.

nvm looks like Reader realized his mistake.

 

[Abu Antar]

They can take their time. Do you guys remember when the German government gave German developers funds to help with their game projects? The government went full generous and expanded on that even further.

just imagine star citizen being made in germany

They actually tried but PB Red's Spacetime was cancelled.

I imagine that being bought by THQ Nordic has also affected Elex 2 production which should have been announced during the Gamescom.

 

[pOcHa]

informative - but i was actually joking about star citizen scamming german government for even more money

Elex will be released the same day cyberpunk does. This will ruin cd projekt for good since everyone will buy and play Elex and not cyberpunk.

 

[covr]

Do you recommend some mods for the very fist and only playthrough? I've heard that the game is not balanced properly as some skills and weapons are useless.
What do you think about Overhaul Mod?

Their recent release schedule suggests it should have been out this year but with Covid etc. it would make sense that it's delayed. I'd be shocked if it isn't out the next year.

sorry if old info - looks like it was supposed to launch back in march... hopefully just corona delay then

 

[Dodo1610]

Now It's official no Elex 2 announcement this year. At least they say that it's pretty far in development hopefully it will be out next year.

 

[1451]

Michael Ruve is the captain and piranha bytes is his galleon. He must help his crew of pirates weather the storm, sail through rocks and dangerous waters.
But all of it is worth it, because he will deliver us all shipwrecked gamers to the wondrous treasure island of Elex 2.

 

[Sranchammer]

It's over.

 

[Erikkolai]

Good news for CDPR I guess. Now everyone who's starved for sci-fi will buy CP2077 to help tide them over to ELEX 2.

Ok, I started playing Elex yesterday, the game's great and all, but some things annoy me.

I'm fairly decent with German but not fluent enough to understand stuff 100% every time, so I tried playing with audio in German and subtitles in English, and vice-versa. I've never seen a translation that was so different from the original. The English seems a lot more stripped down and sometimes the subject of conversation and options have little to do with each other. I saw a German Youtube video that recommended the English version, while Roxxor's review claims the German is the only authentic version. I think I'll play the English first and then the German after a full playthrough.

Does increasing stats have any effect apart from unlocking skills? I stupidly spent my first 20 attribute point in Cunning hoping to create a talker character and not only there doesn't seem to be any effect, I can't train any skills without a secondary attribute. I guess I'll start over.

Nights are WAY too bright. I can't distinguish between night and day, which ruins my retro Piranha Bytes experience. Is this mod any good? https://www.nexusmods.com/elex/mods/55?tab=description

 

[Darth Roxor]

so I tried playing with audio in German and subtitles in English

Don't. The German and international versions actually have completely different scripts, the English version is not a translation.

Does increasing stats have any effect apart from unlocking skills?

Nope.

 

[Alienman]

So what's the main difference between English and German scriptwise? What do you miss out on playing English?

 

[Terenty]

Do Elex 2 does exist and may very well come out next year?

Next year is already better than this one then

 

[Elex]

Exist.

 

[Haplo]

Does increasing stats have any effect apart from unlocking skills?

Nope.

Well, weapons have steep attribute requirements.

 

[razvedchiki]

so elex 2 will be the lizard invasion? or maybe the first years after the comet explosion?
