Also regarding the 1000 fight, the beta footage actually shows that originally it was just 40 romans in the lock, but some time during the development they changed it to the 1000... (probably because beta rome was cut)

Failentin

oh lol, never noticed that

Herr Epsilon

Oh man, it even had a different choreography! watch this: https://youtu.be/UlbrWwPfWso?t=9

Herr Epsilon

"But the final part of Rome only takes three minutes to complete!" "Hm... we need more Romans i guess..." "Like, fifty? "A thousand. Fuck it, multiple thousands."

cannon was meant to be first person?

PegPeregoGaucho

yup i guess that was their logic

PegPeregoGaucho

didn't even notice that ^^

Filip5011

Asterix XXL first person when? :CuriousSam:

And catapults drop helmets?

Herr Epsilon

I'm still convinced that the stages were designed with free character switching in mind. The way the game basically tells you the solutions to the puzzles by opening relais points or switching the character for you...

The egypt fight with 400 romans also seemed to be 4 centurions instead

PegPeregoGaucho

Hmm not sure, that must have been a change made very early during development

I just saw Asterix is glowing orange here and there is a red thing in the hud. Maybe this is a beta potion effect and you had potion in rome here.🤔

PegPeregoGaucho

If you watch the trailer, the tornado doesn't rapidly decrease the roman count, so 400 romans would be a very long fight this way

Failentin

That's a multiplier

Jesse Nikulus

Also the glowing?

Stinkek

The stuff in the top right corner seems to be placeholder helmet counter

Jesse Nikulus

He three shots the formation.

Filip5011
