Who wants some Wang? [video=youtube;PIikukPw9f4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIikukPw9f4[/video]

Looks great. Is it an action RPG FPS now? I only ever see RPG's give their enemies creature types.

Not really sure how much of a fan I am of that, especially since that means they probably aren't getting rid of how bullet spongy everything is, but who knows how it'll end up when the game is finished.

I've never heard of shadow warrior, but I really want to buy this now.

Especially the bosses.

[QUOTE=VietRooster2;50207895]I [I]highly[/I] recommend you pick up the first on sale, it's a damn fine game.[/QUOTE] Define first one, there is the [i]first one classic[/i] and the [i]first one reboot[/i].

Finally, looks like we get a parry ability. About time we got more defensive capabilities.

So I take it weather is completely random? Game looks amazing though and it's gonna have a lot more replayability with the whole RPG style elements

I'm even more excited that this is going to be a co-op title as well.

On one hand I do like the look of it, quite an expansion on the Shadow Warrior formula, but on the other hand the enemies might still be a bit too spongy. Part of me gets slight Borderlands vibes here, although the combat still seems better even with the hint of sponginess. I just hope they don't do health-scaling dependant on how many buddies you have, that'd throw a spanner into the gunplay. All in all, I'm hopeful that this is still gonna be pretty great, but I'm still a little worried about the apparent aforementioned issues.

Goddamn, looks a lot more fluid than the first one, if they add VR support, (especially the Vive with controllers), I would eat this up instantly.

I'm guessing the numbers are so players know what their upgrades are doing

Something about it rubs me the wrong way, but I'm sure it's still probably fun.

I hope we have some snarky dialogue like the first (well rebooted) game
