Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

​

Anyone else have this game on their radar? I saw it in one of those short ads on Youtube. Seems like a crossover between Fable and TES. Also the lead designer from the TES:IV team Ken Rolston had a huge hand in this game. Release date seems to be Feburary so it could serve as a nice pick me up from the after burners of Skyrim and AC: Revelations, and a nice hold-me-over for ME3. Games got me pretty excited honestly.​

Yeah, I posted a thread on this game sometime ago. Considering the fact that Ken Rolston took a step away from the Skyrim project to work on this, I can only imagine he must be very confident in this new game. I've been trying not to get caught up in pre-release hype and this game does look very promising, but I'm still hoping it will live up to expectations. If all goes well, maybe Lionhead will take a peek and learn a thing or two.. lord knows they need some good ideas.

Damn, I keep forgetting to place my order for this game. But yea, I'm getting it. It looks pretty cool, though I'm usually way more excited for a continuation of a current series (like ACR) than I am about entirely new games.

I've checked out a couple stuff about this a few times, and I'm rather intrigued.

Watched some gameplay vids, and noticed the 'special magic attacks' look awesome, but seem rather repetitive. Other than that, lookin' good.

Oh, Todd McFarlane. Interesting.

Im intrigued but definitely waiting for a final verdict on it as it could go both ways. Has Ken Rolston working on it fair enough and 38 Studios are well known for their work on MMORPG games but just depends if the actual engine works right and the game is fun.

Reckoning isn't an MMO though...right?

Right, it's a single-player game.

No its not and thats my point, studios that create mainly multiplayer games often have trouble crafting decent single player campaigns.

Thats one of my main concerns about this game. I would feel more comfortable knowing all there time was devoted to this game, mainly trying to iron out bugs and the like.
