Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning: The Teaser Trailer

I love how that video tells me absolutely nothing about the actual game.
 
Pretty, though.

I got a real Demons Souls vibe outta this trailer. What I really want is the next entry into the Elder Scrolls series.

"Salvatore means that it's going to be a really dreadful Mary Sue story where one invincible, omniscient character is right 100% of the time, along with the worst trappings of high fantasy.  Macfarlane means that all those high fantasy trappings are going to be given a ridiculous dark gothic overtone.  And the lead designer of Oblivion means that this game will be janky as all fuck.

Having Mcfarlane involved is like having the kiss of death. Lets wait and see.

Todd Mcfarlane? sold..... dont care if this is shit anymore lol needs me some todd art

" For some reason, Demon's Souls was the first thing that came to mind. "

Looks like the Demons Souls trailer. But only  a bit, the story it tries to convey. If it's half as good, then I'll check it out.

All those names in the trailer take a backseat to Rich Gallup.

For some reason, Demon's Souls was the first thing that came to mind.

Oh, a game where you kill skeletons with a sword, how original...

I wish Big Huge Games would make another Rise of Nations.

Which of the 38 studios made this? 25? 3? 15?

Well, that was certainly lame. The dude was stabbing skeletons to death and then pulled out his giant weightless hammer.

The narration was pretty bad...

Okay so he's fighting skeletons and he uses the bladed weapon even though he has a hefty blunt weapon on his back? 
Thanks thing I learned from Demon's Souls. 
 
On the other hand seeing R.A. Salvatore's name got me interested.

Nice. That is a strong line-up for a base of an rpg. I have high hopes for this one.
 
Is this a book of R.A. Salvatore's? Cause I've never seen it, if it is.

Sweet trailer!

" @Spiral23:  I thought the exact same thing. "

hell yeah!

That gigantic mace moved as if it was completely weightless.

Finally some more info on the game I've been so "excited" about to see. Trailer was awesomely animated but... doesn't really tell us much. Gief more info :) 
 
Oh and I don't think this is the MMO? didn't they say they would make an RPG first? 
 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is set in the same universe as 38 Studios' upcoming MMO, which is currently codenamed "Copernicus."

A game with a guy who has 3 swords and a giant maul has to be good. screw shields.

This looks like it could be really good.

Even though it looks incredibly generic, I'm liking the style of they are going for and I hope it turns out good. The only problem I have is with that huge hammer. It just did not look right at all.

Feels like Demon Souls

Market research: the game.

Perhaps I'm just old and jaded, but that trailer looked like a dozen other fantasy game trailers before it.  Hopefully some gameplay footage proves more interesting!

His armor was painted like a Clone Tropper's, interesting.
 
 
Also, BWWAAAAAHHHHH

I need to see more of it, but for now this trailer looks generic. 

I'm down for this, game looks like it could be a cool new IP

Bald Space Marine:Origins
I like how at about :55 the dude delivers a killing blow by stabbing a skeleton in it's non-existent heart.

So the main character is like Double Raziel.

I'm liking the art design.

" <FANTASY LOCATION> of <FANTASY SOUNDING NAME>: <ADJECTIVE> "

If there is something certain about this game is that it's going to be a solid-ass RPG in a highly-detailed fantasy universe.

" That was some serious name dropping in that trailer. "

" So I guess it's not a baseball-MMO after all? "

What? It totally is. It's just a very high concept baseball mmo. "

" CG trailer is CG.   Nonetheless, I am interested. "

" So I guess it's not a baseball-MMO after all? "

I like the visual design, but I hope those animations aren't indicative of the feel of the actual game. 
 
And yes, I am aware that this is just a teaser, probably contracted out to an external studio.

<FANTASY LOCATION> of <FANTASY SOUNDING NAME>: <ADJECTIVE>

holy shit they got cate blanchet lmao

So I guess it's not a baseball-MMO after all?

I will probably try this just because of my love for Rich.  I'm intrigued by the muscle behind it though, even if the trailer didn't quite wow me.

The skeleton fight reminded me of the intro to Demon's Souls so that's +1 for the game so far. Hammer doesn't look heavy though so we're back to 0 again. 
 
Edit: then again it isn't that big so it gets a pass *dramatic pause* ...for now.

We will have to see how this game is unique, looks pretty boring right now.
