Animators Show Their Moves in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

No, seriously. They work on sword choreography in a parking lot.

This looks pretty cool.

I am glad that they put the footage of the animators doing the motions in

Games like this are the reason why I can never go back to the D&D combat system. It may be the deepest out there but it's also boring. Now this looks deep and super fun. Can't wait to play it.

I wish my game got this much focus from GB!

TehJedicakeon Jan. 3, 2012 at 3:13 p.m.

I'm pretty interested and relatively excited for this game :D

Whats your game, if I may ask?

This video took Amalur from "i'm sure it's a fine game" to must play.

I hate to be a dick, but for all the talking up they did, I was left pretty unimpressed by the combat animations. They're not bad, they're just not anything special.

I agree, I wasn't really taken with the game until I saw all these crazy moves that seem to look rather easy to pull off.

Where is my Rich Gallup character skin?

I love watching videos where the guys who work on the game are super excited about the stuff they put in the game

That sequence at the end looks more like a fighting game than a story based RPG. I really hope this game is good.

Hey there ripped off Spider Man theme - we meet again!

In regards to the actual content of this video, sounds somewhat promising but I won't take their word for granted yet. Let's see how it'll actually turn out.

"Inside Reckoning"

"So with Reckoning..."

"So in Reckoning..."

"You can go on playing Reckoning..."

That black guy was pretty funny. He seems so different from all the other people they've had in their videos so far, brings a bit more insight and different views on the game.
 
Also, this game still looks awesome. Cant wait to play.
katsu044on Jan. 3, 2012 at 4:12 p.m.

just want to play it already.

Irvanduson Jan. 3, 2012 at 4:28 p.m.

I'm kinda excited for this game.

I thought they looked good but extremely arcadey. They talked about weight and follow through for their moves but it's not the animations of the characters as much as enemy reactions that also define the feel. There was a guy swinging this gigantic hammer around and the skinny little enemy in front of him was just taking these blows with crazy "battle sparks" flying everywhere. That little frog guy was just looping this OUCH I took a hit animation.

I'm interested in the game but theres also the dichotomy of what I just saw now which was intriguing and the footage Brad and Vinny talked over which looked kinda lackluster.
