Got Seven Minutes? Check Out This Walkthrough of Lords of the Fallen

Looks pretty generic, but hey, particle effects!

That's the vibe I'm getting as well.

Character design looks sadly unimaginative. Sipping from the pool of WoW, Darksiders and so on.

This seems like the inevitable "more casual" dark souls I've been expecting for awhile now. I was just expecting, like, five of them by now.

All that animation looks insanely smooth. It's a shame that the sounds of impact while in combat aren't quite up to the same level - at least in the build at display here.

But yeah, it seems they weren't kidding when they said they took inspiration from the Souls series.
I hope the backdrop is more interesting that it seems like on the surface level. I'll keep an eye out regardless.

Looks like Dark Souls... probably gonna get this, but I'll wait for the reviews.

Why would they make two very similar 3rd person action LOTR games at exactly the same time?

Monolith seems to be making the more interesting game, but for people who arn't aware won't they confuse them? If this game is too generic and pushes people away, won't the other game suffer?

Stylized Dark Souls with superior graphics? Yes please!

At least people will have a new game to play on XBone and PS4.

Basically my first thought was "Darksiders meets Dark Souls". It looks like there's potential for it to be decent but it could go either way. Wouldn't complain about an awesome new action RPG though, here's hopin'.

Dave's Eastern Bloc GoTY. Calling it.

This just makes me want Dark Souls 3 on a current console.

Lords of the Partical Effects

Promises to be next great RPG (action-RGP). My attention on this game grow up after see gameplay. Combat style is very interesting, graphic on hight level. Yes I want to play on this game. I hope so this will be release soon.

Looks really cool. That boss battle looked really intense. Seems it has that really rare quality of a game that makes you feel like you're facing an equally-matched opponent. I'm happy to see a whole other take on the Souls formula. Hopefully they can sharpen up some of the out-of-combat animations, though; they looked kinda janky, but it is pre-alpha, of course.

looks pretty slick. hopefully it's fun too

If the Souls games legacy is going to be more technical action-RPG games with less button-mashy then things are looking pretty good all around.

This looks somewhere in-between Darksiders and the Souls games. Slightly faster, more arcadey and less clunky than Souls, not as combo-focused as Darksiders with a similar artstyle. But also kind of generic enough that I'm not really interested in it yet.

The sound design in this game is driving me crazy. I hope there's a lot of filler sound effects for the "alpha" version, but I won't hold my breath.

I've been invaded! So much like Souls as others have remarked, not only in the story (marked one, outcast as savior), but in gameplay (healing nutriment, levers, back attack crits).

That said, it looks great! I'll take a Souls clone if it's done right and expands the genre.

seems neat, still need to buy my ps4 though or upgrade the comp

This guy's narration is really something...

I hope it is awesome (fingers crossed). Anything even a little Souls like gets me interested.

Unimpressed. Looked slow and tedious.

Looks pretty cool. I'm pumped that there are going to be a bunch of new rpgs coming out this year!

It looks generic. The combat and especially the movement animations associated are kind of approaching Soul Calibur flashy but not quite. I think they need to go more in one particular direction. Do you want your combat fantastic almost cartoony flashy or are you striving for some sort of visceral realism?

Nice bewteen this Bound by Flame and The Witcher 3. I feel like this is my year.

he kind of plowed through that boss... dark souls without the "soul?"

I love how the boss gets all graceful like a ballerina at the end

I hate that this is what the console ARPG genre has devolved to.

I'm really digging this.

Wow there is a lot of negativity in here. I thought that looked pretty promising.

Looked incredible, and the story sounded somewhat interesting, but the combat mechanics looked completely run-of-the-mill and boring. Not interested.

Something about the audio in the game seems very disconnected from what's on screen, I wanna say it feels like poor foley work cause the daggers slicing a guy are making sounds of a bag of beans being wiped, sounds weird. This extends to everything else in the game including the sound alongside the green glowing thing and the sounds the Boss makes. Maybe these will get another pass as the game gets further in development.

The gameplay and visuals look fun and enjoyable, I look forward to checking it out!

I don't love the enemy designs, but I'll get over it because everything else looks to be pretty awesome. Looking forward to it.

I don't think the Dark Souls similarities do it any favors when the parts that aren't like Dark Souls, for instance the character designs, resemble generic western macho fantasy stuff like Darksiders/Kingdoms of Amalur. Could be cool, though. Guess we'll see when it's out.

Is this UE4-based?

This isn't a LotR game.

If you just mean a similarity in names, then I would like to assume a Lord of the Rings fan would know "Lords of the Fallen" is not "Lord of the Rings." And, that game being made by Monolith doesn't even have "Lord of the Rings" in the title.

Looks pretty, but those sound effects are distractingly bad...

So the next Kingdoms of Amalur?

Consider my Interest peaked.

Ah! That makes sense :) Witcher 2's influence could only mean good things too :D

Looks interesting, will keep an eye out for when the game nears release.

Definitely getting Witcher 2 with Warhammer from this game, with a tad of Demon/Dark Souls. Looks pretty rad. Probably will get it on PC.

Enemy design looks decent if not a little uninspired. Hero design isn't really doing it for me. Dude has the Gears of War disease. Otherwise I'm interested, if by nothing more than a new next-gen IP and the design lead's pedigree. The Witcher 2 was awesome.

This gameplay shows us pre-alpha game so I believe developers work a little about aspects which we took and game will be progress to be perfect.

Oh man, I actually fell asleep watching that.
