6:03 the average pig's bite force is between 200-300 PSI. A lion's avg = 600 PSI, and a saltwater crocodile's avg is 3,700 PSI. A 4000 PSI bite combined with enhanced agility, intelligence, and comprehension of the human language basically makes Charlotte an apex predator

[@TimothyMark7]

and to think that's the first steps of evolved life in the cluster simply means it could've evolved into a new species from what we could know.

the idea that there's no actual aliens but humanity becomes aliens over time by evolution and isolation similar to dune is insanely cool and I wish we got more sci fi genres like this and hearing that there's going to be exotic alien races of human origin that look just as exotic and beautiful as subnautica sounds bloody incredible

Archetype is mostly composed of former Devs from BioWare (most of who worked on Mass effect and Dragon age) and the founder was the creative director for Dragon Age Origins Also the lead writer for mass effect 1 & 2 is working on this game I’m willing to bet Exodus is going to be really good

Not surprised. The pacing of the combat looks very Mass Effect like too (not in a bad way or anything).

Can't wait to dive into Exodus. Part of me thinks it'll scratch that Mass Effect itch, but honestly, I feel it will be its own epic thing. Super ready to get lost in the lore and explore every inch of this world. I am glad it will be hub-based exploration and not an open-world, this will allow to focus on storytelling.

"You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig"."

Check out Exodus Founders Q&A. This is a huge game, massive game, complicated game, impossible game in that if they do pull off what they stat in the Q &A it would be the biggest step forward in gaming in decades. Essentially it would be the first true game experience that you a gamer creates for yourself based on your choices and descions that you make. And the ending there is no Canon version, your ending for the game will not be the same as your friends who are playing in fact during the game your experiences will not be the same. So its a big game if they can pull that off. These guys are former devs that did Mass Effect which is why this game looks, feels better than Mass Effect 5 because it is the real Mass Effect 5.

[@Grandtemplar305]

I can’t wait

[@TheAshfyr]

This game looks interesting, I can't wait to see gameplay footage.

[@sci-fiknight8084]

There is a novel called “Exodus: The Archimedes Engine” that this game is based around apparently? I just picked it up yesterday due to also finding this game. Peter F. Hamilton is the author and is a pretty well known Sci-Fi author, so I’m looking forward to starting it. 873 pages of lore 👏🏼

[@xyr3s]

this is basically like mass effect. drew karpyshan from bioware who wrote for the mass effect trilogy is also writing for this. archetype is founded by 2 founders of bioware iirc. it has devs from early bioware, 343, naughtydog and so on.

Giving me Mass Effect 1,2 & 3 Vibes. Seen comments saying these guys worked on Mass Effect 1 & 2 and Dragon Age Origins which I finished all three over (I was addicted to ME 1,2,3). I'll play this for a hopes of story telling alone as I've never gotten since those games...

[@darkmotherproduction]

Been waiting for this game since its announcement. First trailer that ever made me teary eyes. They took inspiration from Mass Effect, Destiny and and other games. There is some gameplay footage out there that was leaked, its just hard to find. I haven't been this excited for a new franchise in a long time :)

[@Viewstar]

@aztecross there's a book that recently was published by Peter F. Hamilton, Exodus. It's set 40k years when humanity left Earth, 40k years before the events of the game!

[@sci-fiknight8084]

Something tells me they will going through that thing the main character went through in the last trailer will be in use a lot in the book or a lot of stuff from the book will be in pre-logue of the game

[@RichardStrong86]

It isn't set 40k years before the game. It has near present day humans arrive in that space after experiencing time dilation, so they arrive 40k years after the first settlers.

[@Viewstar]

@@RichardStrong86 Forty thousand years ago, humanity fled a dying Earth. Traveling in massive arkships, these brave pioneers spread out across the galaxy to find a new home. After traveling thousands of light-years, one fleet of arkships arrived at Centauri, a dense cluster of stars with a vast array of potentially habitable planets. The survivors of Earth signaled to the remaining arkships that humanity had finally found its new home among the stars. Thousands of years later, the Centauri Cluster has flourished. The original settlers have evolved into advanced beings known as Celestials and divided themselves into powerful Dominions. One of the most influential is that of the Crown Celestials, an alliance of five great houses that controls vast areas of Centauri. As arkships continue to arrive, the remaining humans and their descendants must fight for survival against overwhelming odds or be forced into serving the Crown Dominion. this is literally the book's description

Ex Mass Effect 1 and 2 Devs. I've been waiting over three years since I found out they started their own studio and basically have a blank check for style and lore to build this game.

[@usagtone]

I actually learned something from Aztecross today, first of all I was familiar with the concept and science behind it . All the galaxies scientists see and stars in space are in the past because of how long light it takes to travel, the speed of light it's pretty fast to begin with.

[@nikolaslialios479]

Honestly I'm really liking the over the shoulder cam. Very much reminding me of Dead Space and Calisto Protocol. Maybe they're planning on adding an integrated UI system like in those games. That would be really sick.

"Do you know what fear is? the Mara Yama do, they thrive on it. These monstrous celestials haunt the darkest corners of the cluster hunting for isolated targets and, unfortunately for their victims, the Mara Yama are interested in more than just stealing cargo. They want minds, memories, emotions; the more twisted and tortured the better." See, I hear that from Matthew McConaughey and then I hear it followed up with "Alright, alright, alright.

[@Jacobk-g7r]

Huge mass effect vibes and i love that. I wish mass effect got a remake. Not some reskin with the same exact everything but a reimagining with open ending after the reapers. So we can explore and if the devs use ai then the limits will be expanded pretty far. Could even use mass effect, our universe data or map, and ai to play a prediction like a simulation. Then the game could always be different and we could explore our own universe potentials. Potentially lol nah but i am getting mass effect vibes and I’m liking it. Gotta expand not just the map, the inventory, the ships the ally system. It could be even better.

[@Raijin-RyuX24]

In comparison to the ocean, we DO know more about space. Scientist recently have suggested an invisible planet/star. Where would we go if there was a mass exodus? One of the Kepler or Gliese stars. If the sun doesn’t take us out first, it would be humanity that ends earth. This game looks good.

[@Jacobk-g7r]

13:15 yes the black hole is unable to be seen because the reflection of light isn’t happening, it’s being sucked in. The residue is what we measure or the radiation released when sucked in and broken down. I think it’s hawking radiation or something. First ask yourself what a dimension even is and that’s a hard one unless you understand what quantum mechanics tries to share. The dimensions of myself can see relative and become the relative or be shared into something by relativity. So reflection is understanding where you are and what you are in relation to the universe honestly and sharing into being. An inventor shares the mind with the many measurements and can see between them and how they share together to form a tool or many inventions. Predicting our futures is the same but it’s not linear but expansive so we learn the many, expand the mind, share with the many, expand reality. We don’t dictate what is but know it all can be but we share to help guide. Not because we know better but because we are entangled and shared the opportunity. Survival is what we are in but once we use robots and ai to maintain then we don’t need to fight over food or water. We would need to share to expand off this rock. So everything can be we are just so young that it’s hard to see but eventually it will be easy to see and then we will laugh at being stupid.
