ok - so it IS an arena shooter it is not F2P and the name (toxikk) is what I took for an alternative to the studio brand, would reakktor not have been available. wrong on all accounts. also predicted it would be worth checking out ... now I am worried :p
TOXIKK Nice play on the KK bit there. So yeah it's a arena shooter with no complications and it uses UE4 - and it's got it's own version of crowdsourcing. (Aka a Store page with a Paypay button)Quote:

toxikk is appearantly neocron minus the RP part. panic! i fear the loss of 2 - 3 players, at least for more than a week, until giving up to compete with the UT and general FPS crowd, retreating to NC and complaining its not shooty enough. but thats just my opinion. you may see things from a different angle.
JHmm, not sure how the no F2P part will work out. Early access... c'mon, show some love to your old crowd.
toxxik and neocron live in completely different universes.Quote:

Well, Typherra is more then a NC wink, that game is even older then NC, and they even recycled some bulkhead textures iirc.Quote:

Fan Service, KK-style^^
hm - not sure what I think of the art direction. Strange mixture of a cartoony / cell shading touch and realistic styles - if done badly, it could easily look like a shortcoming and not so much like a deliberate style choice.
Not exactly sure what you find cartoony or cell-shading about the game...Quote:

to me it looks like an odd crossbreed of borderlands and skyrim ;)
Because its not drowning in brown and gray?^^Quote:

Which btw reminds me of our red HH Combat Wheeler V.2... so many references! Just hope the gun is better then what we got...
Not sure why any of you are excited, it'll be like anything reakktor has worked on.
Good, possibly amazing idea and a great storyline, and they'll make it into a horrible game.
not this time.Quote:

... could still turn out to be a horrible game - despite the absence of amazing ideas and a great storyline :p :angel:
Taking action if anyone wants in:
odds that it makes it to retail
over/under amount of days it makes it past launch
