So, RPS seem to have fucked up and unwittingly disregarded Ubi's embargo on posting the M&M X trailer: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/201...-the-might-magic-x-trailer-first/#more-164457
(Note that the video is set to private.)

I've also received that trailer from Ubi and the letter clearly says it can only be posted at a later date. I wonder if RPS got a different email or if they have really just overlooked the not-so-small print.

I also have to admit I lol'ed at TotalBiscuit's "Apparently not" comment.

I guess that's what the teaser was about: https://mightandmagicx-legacy.ubi.com/opendev/blog/post/view/520e24e8888ef62e65000001

I must say, RPS have been treating this game pretty shittily. They haven't been giving any coverage, and now this.

Hmm, if CD Action posted it too, I wonder if the "big" magazines have been given the permission to post it earlier, then? Would make no sense tho', since there would be no point in the embargo at all if that were the case.

Also doesn't explain why RPS' video is set to private and hasn't been fixed yet.

This looks so good, can't argue with another good dungeon crawler when they pretty much are extinct today outside of Grimlock.

The classic series returns after an eleven year hiatus, and the first act of it will be available to early-buyers on Monday. Yes, Monday! Blimey, that snuck up from nowhere.
Holy shit - I had no idea they were releasing part of it so soon! And the rest in Sept? For some reason I kept thinking this game was several months or a year+ away from release. Now I'm getting excited - and the trailer looks great.

@Luzur Do we have any info about an animation speed slider or general speeding-up mechanics? The tile transitions and animations in that video look like they will drive me insane after about five minutes.

@Jaesun I think you can change your stance from cautiosly fapping to fapping furiously.
This might turn out shit, but what we are seeing in the treailer, is at least as big of an incline as the Kickstarter pet projects, if not bigger.

I want to see more than two mobs or one NPC on screen at a time and meteor shower spell before I pass any judgement
Yeah I know it borrows more from Xeen, but then it could also borrow 6 character party from it :M
In my Might&Magic, I want a real world, not a city to replenish potions and few Grimrock-dungeons

Allow me to self quote me from the their forum:
Limbic ! When I buy the "Deluxe Digital Edition " can I "upgrade" it later? (Does it serve as coupon for the boxed collectors edition with cloth map that I want ?)
Edit: It seems (from the trailer) that we can buy a digital copy and get the box /manual/map for it later. Am i'm right, Limbic?

Because it want it on Monday but i also want my cloth map.

I was watching that video and was thinking, "If shit is going to be this slow they should have done open world like the apelings wanted." The payoff of step blobbin' vis a vis free movement is that you can play it fast. Luzur at least tell them on the insider forum stuff to say in hype interviews that there will be like an animation speed slider and/or a "no animations" mode or something if they're doing that.
