Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Vid is Skilful, Crafty

Here's a new trailer for the promising Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, detailing the game's skills and crafting systems.

In the vid you'll get to see the weapon crafting, alchemy, mercantile, persuasion, stealth, looting and detection skills among others, all of which allow you to build your character in unique ways. The similarity to the Elder Scrolls series is obvious. No surprise considering that Morrowind and Oblivion's designer Ken Rolston is on board. Still, looks good!

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning releases early next month. A demo for the game hits on Jan 17.

Won't be done with Skryim before the 10th, so it's gonna have to wait a while. But def playing this at some point.

not seen this before, always been a bethesda fan, so is this more arcade like (borderlands vs fallout) or do we have serious competition to Skyrim. @7 has mentioned, probably wont have finished skyrim by then, bonus is we can pick this up on offer somewhere when some ADHD kid has gotten bored after 10min


peace

I too didn't realise this was releasing so soon, but... I don't know if I will be done with my backlog by then. I only just started Revelations yesterday.

Is it just me, or do the graphics give it a more Fable-ish feel? Almost cartoon in nature. Whereas ES feels more like a realistic version of a Tolkien universe? Might be worth the price but I'd hate to be let down after Skyrim...

Yeah, I'm skipping this. Looks almost exactly like Skyrim - just worse graphics and maybe a better combat system. At this point it's "been there, played that".

Looking forward to this more than ME3 this year. It has the potential for a more engaging story than another similar game.

Can't wait to pick this up. The only thing that'll let it down is if you have access to the pre-order weapon pack at the start of the game.

Looks more and more like single player World of Warcraft every time I see it. Which isn't a bad thing. I'm a little worried it will become Two Worlds, which I enjoyed but there's no comparison to the greatness of Oblivion or Skyrim. Hopefully it will find it's own legs and be good enough to be another series worth buying.
