Next Gen RPGS - 5 Things to Expect

Nope, but I have promised a screenshot before the end of the year in the dedicated forum on this site. I know I'll be able to keep that timeline, because I could send a decent looking screenshot already now. But one always wants to improve a little more before sending anything.

The game is still very much pre-alpha.

Keep up the great work

Just as Overwatch does. Overwatch, though, is another success story.

Care to back up your claim?

No. The general point is made, anyone can match a list based on that.

Ok, now you're loosing the thread again. In case it was unclear, my comment was in reference to Henrique's examples of 'incoming RPGs' and your claim they were invalid with reference to the article. They very much fit the definition of RPG employed in that article. Overwatch does not, but it is neither why it is mentioned. As to why Overwatch specifically, we are circling, yet it would be apparent from reading the article from beginning to end that the author's focus is largely topical, based on RPGs, but discussed in a broader light where other genres are also included and mentioned as examples. Overwatch falls into that category.

No, you didn't make a point, you just threw out an unfounded claim.

Nothing is lost except for people who did not bother reading.

What RPG definition?

Never made the claim that they were unvalid. It is written in the quote: mentioning them is like mentioning Overwatch (a quote is expected to be read when made)

If mentioning them is invalid, then the mention of Overwatch is invalid. Of course, this non sense was not written.

The article characterizes trends. One thing that could have put ME A and the rest over Overwatch is they fit one trend better than Overwatch. The best chance for it is the return to traditional RPG trend. Which they do not.

They do not fit the bill in this regard. Overwatch is as a valid reference as the others except it is a much better reference to support the point.

As to the point over the loss of marketing appeal of the rpg label, it is very similar.
