So far this has me almost more excited than anything else at E3
If you watch past the cinematic trailer they bring out the creative writer (who seems like he may be American or Canadian which is a bit of a surprise as Techland previously was just using the team from Poland - it looks like they are reworking Dying Light 2 to capitalize on NA and EUR sales) and after a quick bit of talking from him they show actual gameplay footage so stick around for that.
Some great features are on display and being promised:
1) New Setting - described as a "modern Dark Ages" this setting is more European in flavor and *almost* has a medieval vibe to it. It looks much different than the Middle Eastern city Harran from the first game.
2) Improved Parkour - In the gameplay they show leaping onto a rope and swinging, sliding down that rope, jumping onto the side of a moving vehicle and kicking a guy off a ledge. It all looks great though obviously this is a pre-alpha so we know better than to believe anything 100%
3) Player driven choices - I hope they aren't overselling this (of course they probably are), but they are promising significant and meaningful player choices that affect the environment and setting with over 100 different choices you can make during the game. Hmmm...
Overall though with how good the last DLC was for the first Dying Light and how much FREE DLC they have added I do kind of believe in Techlands desire to provide a great product and so unlike a lot of these types of E3 pre hype I do think this game will be a lot like what they are showing. They do not typically over promise on content and I was very pleased with the first game which to me is about as close to a Far Cry game as you can get without actually being a FC game.
