Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning: A 22-Minute Video Walkthrough

[HardWarUK]

17:00 bear in mind you cannot walk on the PC version unless using a gamepad.

[koolaid0725]

looks like skyrim to me

[Tudorache1986]

Ohh yeah!!! the new RPG KING for sure:)

[hantront]

Warsworn? Forsworn? Hmmm....

[Lurlen5]

I didnt like the battle system here either.....Hit the left mouse button and character attacks like 5 times....It just didnt feel realistic.....Also it didnt feel like I was aiming the bow but it would auto aim when mob came into range.....I like combat where hte action happens as I click the button...I think the combat here was too overdramatic and not very realistic.....To me Skyrim's combat was much better.....This was on a PC not a console though.

[3Phill3]

-_- Guys the lead producer in bethasda games participated in this game OBVIOUSLY IT MIGHT LOOK A BIT SAME BUT SKYRIM AND THIS IS AWESOME!

[3Phill3]

@3Phill3 small mistake OBLIVIONS lead producer sry

[caketakeshh]

@3Phill3 The guy also worke with morrowind

[bigshot197]

Former redsox pitcher curt schilling's company made this game.put $20 million of his own money into it.

[DogsneedpIeasuretoo]

19:06 Fus Roh Dah. XD

[Bjo15]

When i heard it was called the well of souls i emediately downloaded it ....

I have really nostalgic memories from that name , well of souls ... cant remember why thou

[chucknorrissdick]

please stop doing these shity games we got skyrim we don t nedd this crap anymore

[lntruders]

@chucknorrissdick lol the battle system is 100 better than skyrim man. This game is so much more atractive for me than Skyrim.

[LambOfMusic]

Why is it rated 18+?

[EpicTrollBeastMan]

skyrim

[mess2effectYou]

@Prolevel92 no thanks bitch u must got me confused with your mom

[mess2effectYou]

Eat a dick u skyrim fanboys

[Prolevel92]

@mess2effectYou you eat a dick. never judge a group of people because a couple of them do anything. i like skyrim but i think this is also a very good game.

[mess2effectYou]

Skyrim is trash stop comparing this to that shit. Skyrim skyrim that's all u little bitches talk about its not that good of a game damn

[TheMHandDSfan]

How is this game like skyrim? Skyrim is just like any other rpg and people just clump the two as the same thing.

[DogsneedpIeasuretoo]

@TheMHandDSfan

The same alchemy system, the same enchant system, have you see skyrim?

Anyways, I think all games always take good things from other games, but if they take too much, they just become a clone.

[blackkeysfan100]

This game looks awesome.

[BioShockier]

thumbs up if this is a mix between skyrim-fable- and dragon age!

[Metalhead3326]

thanks to skyrim and its popularity people are finnaly learning on how to make good rpgs. though this look good it wont match to skyrim

[DogsneedpIeasuretoo]

Skyrim copycat XD

[MyBuGGLes]

@DogsneedpIeasuretoo Yup kinda but it feels like god of war too and assasinns creed backstab finishers and more witch feels more awesome than skyrim in my opinion :D

[GabrielVarelaSilva]

looks like poor mans skyrim but ill check it out

[VirtuosoX1]

@GabrielVarelaSilva their turning it into a MMO game ;D

[CoilCode]

@GabrielVarelaSilva except the animations and action in skyrim isn't up to the level of this game. This pretty much looks like fable meets skyrim.

[thEsainT1337]

@GabrielVarelaSilva Not counting the fact that this game is published by EA? And EA are bigger than BethSoft?

[TheGamezbePlayed]

relax ppl this is only alpha, the combat is much smoother now

[Turbofreak117]

Multiplayer??? could be cool :P

[MrKoolCakes]

"lopping off heads" you cant do that.

[MrYougotshot]

any known way to remap the strafe keys from a and d to q and e?

[Maggot4life9slipknot]

Combat looks confusing

[TheOverlordPlayer]

@Maggot4life9slipknot it's anything but

[pokey9099]

22 minutes? LIEZ!! 21:59!

[Sumosurferr]

Pre ordered this today. So excited!

[Acquisto]

downloading the demo right now but I already know it wont beat Skyrim. its too cartoony, maybe if this had came out around the same time as Oblivion it wouldve helped but its like Fable and i never played any of those.

[gozaimas1]

it looks skyrim but more epic combo, style and animation cant wait

[gozaimas1]

i don't care if this game looks like skyrim still looks promising looks like fable and its also available in ps3 which is really good because i only have ps3 because my Xbox always broke and pretty expensive and i really like fable

[Spetacula]

This will be a great game...but Skyrim is SKYRIM! Thumbs up for Bethesda!

[TheWitchking123]

@Spetacula *thumbs down your comment*

[Spetacula]

@TheWitchking123 lol I preordered this but it does not take itself as serious as Skyrim so that is where it fails...Its like Saints Row and Skyrim is GTA...If it was more serious with the awesome combat then it would be unstoppable

[TheWitchking123]

@Spetacula Well I may agree that Skyrim is like GTA but KoA is NOT Saints Row the 3rd or any SR game..SR is over the top "immature" fun..its soo immature it rather feels cartoony..

KoA is more like an...adventurous fairy tale...and its not "immature" if you know what I mean ;)

[Spetacula]

@TheWitchking123 Point taken maybe SR is too over the top...but u get the general idea of what i meant lol...adventurous fairy tale is spot on tho...I think it was a business move for a less serious tone so they don't have to compete directly with Skyrim and its room for both...similar to SR and GTA

[dollendorf98]

@VIDz9x i did, but i just dont like this game.

[zokizokii]

very good way to present your upcoming game- j will buy it

[bigmanjandro]

Sounds Just like Skyrim

[mrbungs]

@Umustbespecial Rumor is that there will be a release date announced during the feb 9th conference call... here's hoping it's not blind fanboy optimism. D3 is going to be my greatest time sink this year.

[moonshiry]

@Umustbespecial I actually dont have much of a problem with the combat in Skyrim. I quite like it. Of course, if they can make it better that would be splendid! Shall keep my eye on this game

[dollendorf98]

now dont go hating on me, but im a skyrim fan and this game just seems like a worse version of skyrim. everyone has their opinion, that is mine.

[asmaki06]

@dollendorf98 your opinion is fine, i think the combat in this game is different tho. I played the demo on ps3 and loved it. Play the demo man you might like it....or not lol

[CasparLeones]

@dollendorf98 Have to disagree entirely. Skyrim's combat is nothing like this. This is better,

[BustedZen]

@dollendorf98 How dare you voice your opinion here! This is the internet!

[auBaskerville]

Boom and there goes the dynamite @ 16.50.

[TheSporesporespore]

This game is Awsome?

[moonshiry]

Hmm the game seems to learn and combine elements from both fable and Skyrim. A very ambitious project that would turn out magnificant however, certain features do fall flat. I mean certain things taken from skyrim, well... looks kinda lame, as if it was just copied, took some stuff out, and pasted it into the game here. Granted Bethesda had 5 revisions before they got to this point. I would say,the sequel of this game would be better. Also, it better have mod support! That made Skyrim what it is

[pieman432122]

around 3 months ago id be amazed by a game like this but really except for a classy combat system whats does this game have which skyrim hasn't?

[simonstrane]

No top comment? Here's my time to shine... manly ponytails are awesome?

[TheOverlordPlayer]

@simonstrane ori.gi.nal.com.ment.do.not.ste­al.

[vict2894]

@simonstrane HUZZA

[Skullkingold]

Will this game have multiplayer?

[mrbungs]

I have to say, I watched this video and the game looks whack. I played the demo though, and somehow put over 2 hours into it. I enjoyed it. It's like Fable, but maybe a little deeper and more mature. I'm still not pre-ordering, but I'll definitely pick this up later in the year after I've spent too many hours lost in Diablo 3.

[AoDPhoenix]

@mrbungs @dwm411 I'd say gameplay wise Fable and Reckoning are quite similar. For example, the combat and magic, the sprinting and movement. Though I like the lore and world of Reckoning a bit better.

[mrbungs]

@AoDPhoenix Honestly, I feel like this game is far too similar to fable. That's why I'm not rushing to purchase it. It plays almost exactly like it, but has a few twists, and some deeper mechanics. I expect the game will do well for itself, but it's really nothing new for the RPG genre. Not in the way the developers seem to be promising.

[dwm411]

Fable was more cartoony. Amalur is more serious. I don't see where the comparisons come from, other than being action RPG's.

Nice to not have a set character in an RPG for once. That is becoming rare. And I won't be stuck playing a goofy looking guy.

[fdcsm]

@dwm411 the comparisons come from the visuals as well i guess

[clearasil11]

It's funny how people compare this game to Fable, when even the demo of this game holds more depth and content than all the Fables combined

[jonedn]

this game just looks like the fable games, alike monsters and world design. it would be cooler as a MMORPG as it was meant to be at first

[wonszlol]

They are making two games from this. One studio is working on an offline game, another on a MMORPG. At least that's what the devs said.

[Silencer01]

This game looks fun and all, and I'll probably buy it myself, but one question I want answered is what's the level cap?

[ImSorryLMAO]

@Silencer01 Level Cap is 40.

[TheUSsoldierF]

This looks so fucking EPIC

[version191]

why does every new rpg have the exact same tiresome microwaved fantasy world

[tpiom]

It looks most interesting...

[KillSwitch66627]

So um, just downloaded the demo off steam..... the screen just goes black and I still have control over my character (I can still see the HUD and pause menu, just not the actual environment etc). Anyone know whats wrong?

[DARKERROR100]

@KillSwitch66627 me too and ikd what is wrong :/

[veldinsparx]

@KillSwitch66627 Turn of Post-Processing in the options.

[LegeonDota]

@veldinsparx where is this Post-processing :S i can't see this at options

[veldinsparx]

@LegeonDota Should be under the graphics tab in options.

[skatepb]

@KillSwitch66627 turn off anti. filtering or post processing

[addypizzahut]

@KillSwitch66627 yeah it just installed wrongly.

[addypizzahut]

@addypizzahut corruptly

[wrenqroblox]

@KillSwitch66627 i know my good sir :3 you just have to go to options then grapichs and turn post processing off fix the problem RIGHT AWAY! :3 good luck!

[SexyJackass]

@KillSwitch66627 Try changing the graphics, it worked for me.

[thclsddmt147]

what fable II should have been like

[hindazz829]

guys explain this, how in anyway is this a skyrim ripoff, this was shown at e3 2011 the first real gameplay we got shown of skyrim was e3 2011, how would the developers of reckoning ripoff skyrim when they had a small chance of knowing the major aspects of it?

[hindazz829]

the world reminds me of faerun from the neverwinter nights series so far, hopefully that feeling stays when i see more of the world in the full game

[surdrumsa1ot]

@HegemoniaHessu your expectations were way to high haha. i just expected this to be ok now i cant wait for it to come out. the same thing happened with me and skyrim.

[mikkdc]

This reminds me of Demon's Souls for some reason.

[rokzum]

To those saying Skyrim rip off... After playing the Demo a few times this game honestly reminds me more of Fable/Dragon Age mix, topped with Elderscrolls and other rpg elements. Which is great :)

[edt5481]

@rokzum I've yet to play the demo but have been following this game since it was first announced and have pretty much always felt as if it was going to turn out exactly as you've described it...a Fable/Dragon Age mix. The only reason people are comparing it to Skyrim is because they're stupid and have no experience with RPGs outside of one that was literally released in the last 2 months. I can't believe the number of people making connections b/t this and Skyrim. Go back to CoD people.

[hindazz829]

@edt5481 i've noticed the similarities in it between a mix of god of war, neverwinter nights, dragon age and fable. i agree that i have no clue why people compare it to skyrim when they are two completely different types of games, the only similarities is some of the interface and the fact that its a huge world thats interactable

[noonewm]

this game screams WARNING:FIRST SKYRIM RIPOFF

honestly, the whole "you choose what class ull be while ur playing, instead of choosing in the begining" gives it out

[NOTWSProductions]

@noonewm Uhm Fable did that too, and so did Gothic, and Dungeon Siege, and on and on.

[christah310]

@noonewm well one of the designers of oblivion is helping make this so yea they might do that just for kicks?

[christah310]

@noonewm and to be fair this game gives me more of a fable feel

[edt5481]

@noonewm You sir, are a fucking idiot. You sound like every other moron on youtube who had apparently never even heard of an RPG before 2 months ago. This game looks NOTHING like Skyrim. In ANY way. WHATSOEVER.

[fractald]

this is what fable should have been

[BrokenOnceLost]

only thing i don't like is how your shield isnt visible when equipped until you actually block :/ and that your secondary weapon isnt exactly visible until you use it and so on. otherwise the gameplay is pretty fun

[mitrooper]

By the way, the character creation system in this game is laughable, it's funny how the developers in this video are describing it as something very in depth...you can't even fucking chnage the facial features, all you get are some presets, about six per race and gender, that's fucking it!

[moneybags1201]

@mitrooper Idk what your talking about, you can change facial features, after the Preset screen, once you hit continue, it takes you to the facial customization screen, or atleast for me it did that.

[mitrooper]

How the fuck do you walk in this game, I'm played the PC demo, but mainly just to get the Mass Effect 3 armor.

[MeanGreenPoopMachine]

this game is like elderscrolls dialog and world , killingmoves from God of war and fable magic attacks put together xD

[02Innocence]

looks very good :3

[xzbyte2002]

Exactly the type of game I need!

[NomaDz2K]

I just hope they did a really good job on this game, the first European Review gave it 9/10. I'm more interested what the end users have to say, the people like U or me which end up getting this game. I hoped Two Worlds 2 was going to be good etc, in the end I wasn't very happy with it either XD

[SuperChimiro]

if this was on line play,it would be the shit

[NomaDz2K]

@SuperChimiro no online BUT it is said that they intend to make an MMO based upon this game world. So no Co-Op and no Multiplayer. Some of the greatest RPG games were single player, then again some very famous ones are MMO only... Personally I would have liked Co-Op.

[Murkling]

I know a lot of you are interested in this game. So, ill make this brief. I know this game is huge and amazing, and a lot of you dont know about the demo. Well, on PC there is one on Steam. Its 2GB, so I installed it myself and made a 3 part trilogy on my Channel. Please check it out! :D

[M4F14141]

@meberry: did a demo come out, cause I havnt been on xbox lately or like were u some kind of beta tester?

[Murkling]

@M4F14141 Yeah, a Demo did come out. I have a video series going on it in my Youtube Channel. Check it out :)

[NomaDz2K]

@M4F14141 Yep U can Download it from Xbox live:)=

[kingironhammer]

This game is gonna be one I have a feeling I will be spending many hours with!

[Owner951]

cant waaaait, i know for sure im gonna play through it multiple times

[ColorMyLifeInRed]

combos with buttons, would have been good

[Cydercontrol]

now this is what im talking about. this will be a great game. not that game called dragon age 2 where they copy and paste the caves and what not. and not like fable 3 announcement where it ended up just a bunch of lies just so they can over hype it.

[GarIicjr]

i made sure to click on every single dialog option for every main character just to see if it was going to be the same routine line about a subject. BUT its a lot cooler then that, you want to talk to every one about the same things because not all the people have the same opinion on that particular subject.

[GarIicjr]

this game is so bad ass...im a 26 year old gamer that hasn't been able to get into a video game since ps2, i know lots of good games are out there, and i can play them...but last night i downloaded this demo...and i couldnt put it down nore did i want to...i had to after rationing out the last 45 minute timer( the demo version puts on the game after you reach a sertian part in the story line). I usually get bored of games...but this was amazing and fun! yeah skyrim is amazing...but is it Fun?

[inphasesith]

@beantownkid38 Why does everyone think Dragon Age II was bad? Can you please give me a valid reason. It was actually good.

[beantownkid38]

@inphasesith Story and environments were incredibly lack-luster. You'd expect an epic story after playing DA:O but then it just tripped on the rug and knocked all of its teeth out.

[collector891]

fable III anyone?

[whitetiger777able]

this game yes looks good but it reminds me to much of fable 2, star wars, fable 3 games like that all hog washed into one but with out the stunning action and art skyrim had. please i like how this looks but make it look more of a battlefield 3, skyrimish look i feel it would do you better im 90% sure every one is sick of the carton like look in video games.

[inphasesith]

@whitetiger777able Well your 90% sure is 90% WRONG. Stop making false guesses. Why do people do that? Try to make up some random percentage to try to sound smart? Its really annoying. And the graphics are called CEL-SHADED, not cartoony graphics, alot of people love these graphics and art style.

[ginawinabean]

@whitetiger777able Your reply is kind of ignorant. You say you hate that it looks like all these other games and yet you suggest they make it look like another game simply because you like the other ones. Your "90%" is wrong. If people didn't like it they wouldn't make it that way and the games wouldn't sell.

[DeadL0ver]

LIES!!! This isn't 22 minutes... It's only 21 minutes and 59 seconds...

[Forgoroe]

I hope they changed the music by now, cause it was really mediocre.... Kinda makes the game less awesome.

[deathrooster14]

God of War meets Fable. :P

[sickxwidxit]

@deathrooster14 exactly what i was saying

[xCrimsonxTidex]

......and a simple rip off of Dragon Age and Skyrim

[xCrimsonxTidex]

Im only playing this for Mass Effect 3

[GaM3RN3RD1]

@xCrimsonxTidex ..Yup pretty much agree with you. The only reason I got this game is for Mass Effect 3.

[100dtjsanderson]

This game is definitely on my wish list. I like the general perspective the creators put into this game. Everything looks great in this game

[NANO101077]

i played the demo and it´s awful awfuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul

[NINJAinTIGHTS]

@NANO101077 Huh? Really? We must have played different games because I think the demo was quite good (and doing that for an open world RPG is pretty tough) and I can't wait for the game. Nice to see a colourful non-sequel RPG on the horizon.

[Raexis]

EA? That means I'll have to wait to pick up a used copy on eBay or something. The game looks promising, though.

[NINJAinTIGHTS]

@Raexis Its published by EA but its developed by BHG and 38 Studios that are in no means connected by EA (like say Viceral Games).

[Nightmar3xz]

what is the first thing you do when your friend dies? loot him

[t41359]

just played the demo. this game is above mediocre.

[TherealDarthSlayden]

Im not too happy about the fact that your weapons sheath by themselves and you cant draw your weapons unless your attacking.

[OneBadHuskerFan]

@TherealDarthSlayden I totally agree. I was looking in the "options" menu and mashing buttons to try and figure why I couldn't keep my weapon drawn.

[BeerTimeGaming]

@TherealDarthSlayden Lol how about the fact that you pull your shield out of your ass when blocking and you never get to see it otherwise?

[MonstaJP]

EA games has yet to do any games that have held my interest and haven't been just a big disappointment especially with their RPG's. I will wait for the user reviews and certain critic reviews and take everything in perspective. You will probably see this in bargain bins a couple months after release.

[noahDnewport]

Not to ride the hype train, but this looks crazy fun. I can see myself getting completely addicted to this game.

[sirbee]

is it just me, or does Ian Fraiser sound like Phreak (the guy from the LoL champion spotlights)?

[Mikeanglo]

21:20 Duriel 2.0

[darkchaos11]

good thing to distract me from all that skyrim. after im done this, time for more skyrim

[Fake1904]

02:43 now that's just bad, he didn't even say the reason why he stoped you and you're given the option to go to jail or pay the fine, hope they fix this and add that missing line

[inphasesith]

@Fake1904 On the Demo it tells you at the bottom left corner what crimes you commit.

[Historianization]

Fable combat, ME conversation, Skyrim scope, my money. Let's go.

[JeremyRS1]

It reminds me of Skyrim and WoW with a little Dragon Age Origins mixed in

[mrbungs]

I'm glad I looked into this game a little more. Now I know not to pre-order it. Looks bland. I'll keep waiting on Diablo 3.

[Georgito555]

@mrbungs you should play the demo because i thought the same thing but after playing the demo i thought the game was actually quite fun.

[mrbungs]

@Georgito555 Thank. I'll have a look.

[NewOrleansboii]

Needs more boobs, than I buy.

[AlphaGinga]

I reaaaally want this to be co-op, or atleast 2 player. That would make it so much more immersive.

[whitefox25]

@AlphaGinga sorry its not

[AlphaGinga]

@whitefox25 No interest then. They just lost a customer.

[valmanzar16]

fable+skyrim+dragon age+god of war= more months of going hungry.

[FEEDER87]

Is it my pc that is stuttering or is it the game :/

[R3FLEXs]

it looks like an original xbox game, no joke.
