*Spoiler alerts* I think that you do get to start with the IB at full power. You don't start at the exact end of the book, but at the part where you have to fight your way to Saydhi, when Siris still has the IB. Then, the godking tricks you and steals it.
yeah when i heard about it probably not starting at the very end I assumed that it'd start off like that (they said there'd be a tutorial the length of the 1st game before you start). i guess you'll use the IB for the tutorial. the only thing i hope they change is the meeting with GK. I the book he doesn't fight you. I'm hoping he beats the crap out of you before the "event" happens. it'd be more fun that way. i just really want to see how he looks now... he better look even cooler! Great find! I do like all the new enemies and more fleshed out story. It looks like the Infinity Blade got itself a redesign. Still no footage of God King though................. :S
Thanks, I only found it because I follow Infinity Blade on twitter But I do like that video, that finish on the Dark Knight is brutal, and do you see the winged demon looking thing crush that guy :O
Yeah, looks like it was inspired by that Egyptian god Set and then crossed with a robotic gargoyle. In fact it does remind me of a character from the Gargoyles tv show, just can't remember who.
To be quite honest I wasn't that excited about this game until I saw the trailer/development video arta just posted. Sweet jesus me gusta!
Yeah that dark knight got whooped! i think in the book GK supposedly just has an army of guard knights so I assume they're all dark knights. too bad they're all pretty much push overs. makes you wonder why GK is super strong but all his guards are super weak lol Btw, I read on another forum observations about IB replicating some forms of Egyptian concepts. They're more apparent after reading the book. Sirius --> Egyptian star? Translates to Siris I suppose Ra ---> God King.. Ra is a sun god + ruler of the world.. also note that GK uses the SunStorm shield Interesting how his counterpart Ra isn't even an evil god. hmmm There might be some other references I haven't found yet.
I didn't make that connection, but it makes a lot of sense! Hmmm...that is interesting.. side note: is anyone else impressed by the voice acting? or Just me?
Looks like it'll be an amazing sequel to an already brilliant game. Great video, and yeah, the voice acting is killer.
New info! "In fact in between IB I and IB II a novelette was released tying the story from the first game to the second. Although you don’t need to read it to enjoy the second game, the game does pickup right where it ends. In addition to adding more story to the experience, Donald mentioned that there are secrets in the novelette that you can use while playing IB II." * oohhh this is interesting. i wonder what i can use from the novel that would help in the game? "Weapons have also gotten a huge update. I was able to see the crafting system where you can attach items to your weapon to add different attributes. In addition to the normal things you would expect like elemental damage attachments, ChAIR has also added some more creative things like the ability to add spikes to your shield, or getting gold during a scratch hit." * Shield spikes? Awesome! Though it'd make your shield look pretty darn ugly lol "You will notice a difference in some of the chests, though. Some now require special keys to open, however they will include some choice treasure. Also they changed the purchasing system, so while you can still get gold to upgrade to more powerful items, not everything will be available through the store. Some items you will only be able to get in-game." * Even more changes. I like it!
It will, it's been mentioned several times that it will run on eerything the original Infinity Blade did
Infinity Blade Soundtrack on iTunes, what a pleasant surprise. Haven't listened to it yet, but a couple titles reveal a little about IB2. http://epicgames.com/community/2011/11/infinity-blade-original-soundtrack/
Are we gonna be able to run freely through the game? Cuz in the original all you did was fight monsters repetitively.
yeah i know that. i've read the book. i'm was just curious why they didn't name a track "God King" since that's the name that really stands out. Sirus doesn't matter because he never had a name originally.
Nope. One of the devs even said in an interview that they have no interest in making the game work like that. Besides, what would be the point in walking around??
