Oh, that's unfortunate.
It's​a shame, this looks great and might have been a nice game to play after watching the new BR. Sucks.

Wait for Cyberpunk 2077, no doubt that game will be amazing (when it comes out)
Birth of a Nation (the OG Griffith one) and Triumph of the Will
I'm thinking Another World like? Excited to see some more footage
We live in the real world.
Most of us have realized that supporting pieces of media like this, including games, has a negative, and absolutely real, effect on the world. We've seen what happened in 2016.
On the other hand, going "it's just a different view" confers no great positive other than making yourself feel 'principled' and good about yourself, while you ignore the real effects of what supporting a thing like this does. It's a pretty callous and shallow thing to do.

Normal map, depth map, ambient occlusion map. Same as anything else. There are other ways you could do it as well. I think Broken Age used a kind of system with "filters" that adjusted their interpolation based on a result between two point. The 2015 GDC had a talk on lighting on sprites. I can't find it but I know it exists.
Found it. I kept searching for "sprites" and it was befuddling the search engine. Advanced Visual Effects for 2D
edit 2: some of the pixel art might also be "faked" to make it easier to work with. Some of the buildings and foliage in the trailer looks like a hybrid of 2D and 3D. I could be wrong since I don't actually work with games.

Nah, let's not change narrative because the author is an asshole. The art does look great. Completely agree on it not necessarily meaning we'll get a good story though.

One of the producers already confirmed no platforming. It's a narrative led game, so all of you defending the work as separate from the artist's politics, no such luck. This is Gamergate:The Game.
I mean, the art is incredible. But it's incredible mainly because it's visually impressive in technical and animation, but we haven't seen how the art ties into the story, how the visuals are used and so on.
If we had that I'd get assuming the writing would be good, but we've mostly seen very impressive graphics without its story context. So there's no guarantee whatsoever that the actual writing and implementation is good.

Yes, but Open World. So with dialog and whatever path you want to take.

Really, a matriarchal dystopian society sounds like a cool setting for a game but I don't think this guy can pull it off.

I love the art style. looks awesome. whether or not the writing is good, we will see.
Looking at this thread though. I could totally see an totalitarian dystopian future as he hints of..

the one where women have rights? i'm not sure what your point here is
If they had been mindful, they wouldn't have associated themselves to do that dude by featuring the game's trailer at E3. They're incompetent at best.
Something along the lines of "so much for the tolerant left" probably.

It's amazing how often when it comes to topics like this that a slightly suspicious first post from someone turns into a complete shitshow shortly after.
Yeah this is a bad look for them already.
I hope some of the gaming press will pick up on this, otherwise I can totally see this go by kinda unnoticed.

Because siding with a movement that has threaten the lives of women is just "suspicious", right?

I think you're completely misinterpreting my post. I'm referring to things like this:

A future where people's words and actions have consequences?
A truly dystopian future.
And these mra folk would complain that a game with anything but a white male protag being "too political". Yet I'm sure they will support something seeped in their own backwards agendas.

How can such a beautiful looking, with amazing art, game can be served by such a cringe, stupid plot ?
Black_Stride
do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Ohh man this game looks stunning.
I wonder how they achieved the look. Sprites but not really sprites tech?

The settings remind me of a 90's french comic called "Le Grand Manque" (the great absence). A near futur where there are only women left on earth, organised in a cruel fachistic society.

Actually, most modern 2D games are actually 3D but with sprites as a texture, applied on a flat polygon.
This is more than that. Looks like maybe 2D characters and 3D models with a shader for other stuff If the car is a 2D sprite, they put a lot of work into it for it to rotate.

such a beautiful game.
...there has been enough evidence to support that his beliefs are harmful to women...I...jesus.
It's beyond the creator's belief. They said the game's concept is a dystopian world where "feminism won" over "egalitarianism. Their views are directly embedded into the work.
it's pretty transparently "i don't mind because i agree with him", tbh

It's not just what the creator believes, it's been made clear that it will be a central part of the work.
You should play Horizon. More apocalyptic than dystopian, but still based around matriarchal tribes.
