E3 2017: Everything Is Negotiable in Griftlands

Big fan of Klei, loving the art style as always.

Looking forward to this.

Early Access probably soon. Looking forward. They got lots on their hands, hopefully still the good devs on all projects!

I love the way Klei seems to always be looking to try something different. Most game studios seem pick a type of game and ride it until nobody cares anymore. It would have been so easy for Klei to fall into that: becoming the "stealth platformer studio" after Mark of the Ninja, or the "hand-drawn survival studio" after Don't Starve. Right now they're working on: a 2D building-sim, a 3D platformer, and a game that looks like a Banner Saga meets a JRPG; and I'm excited to play all of them. As much as I would love to have sequels to their great games (MotN and Invisible Inc. in particular) I'm an even bigger fan of the way they refuse to rest on their laurels.

From the mind of visionary former Giant Bomb editor Austin Walker....... :P

Whaaaat the fuck is this game? Always down for more Klei games.

Yeah I'm interested. Will depend a lot on if they can make the combat layer good.

Not sure I like those character designs. They look like something I would have seen on Newgrounds 10 years ago.

This is probably what i'm most excited about out of all the new announcements.

Main reason is all the other contenders got put into the "wait and see" due to possible multiplayer requirements. It still looks great though.

ACE TEAM and Klei are always exciting studios. Not afraid to switch things up.

@onedollarwilliam: Especially when you consider their first game, Shank, which they totally did make a sequel to. They were potentially in danger of becoming a one-track studio and they course corrected and became terrific.

I was having a hard time placing the feel of the cutscene/battle scene character art, but that's it.

Twenty-Grift-Teen rides again!
