IncGamers: ...unless you're an MMO.
Do you remember the good old days, when video games put fast hack-and-slashing combat sequences and extensive levelling systems first and a deep narrative with memorable characters second? BigHuge Games certainly banked on gamers holding some kind of nostalgia for those titles of yore with their fantasy RPG Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning.
This is hilarious that i would see an article after I went and re-bought the game and playing it all week! I love the QTEs in this game its satisfying, the combat is fluid where you can switch from weapons to magic so easily, the weapons, armor, quests, character customizations, lore, world, voice acting, are all great this game has almost everything you'd need and want from an RPG!
I really wish there was going to be a KoAR 2!
COG writes - The games of the last generation were amazing and the COGconnected team decided to get together to countdown their favorites. The countdown inches to number 6 and the games are starting to get good... real good.
The journey comes to an end.
Would LOVE to see a sequel to this brilliant game. Wouldn't mind a remake for current gen systems either.
Last I heard this studio went out of business so I would think a remaster is pretty unlikely.
I think EA owns the rights to it now. I loved the game as well. A rare gem overlooked.
Went into a cave for a mission...Mission glitches and I can't start the mission or exit the cave...Auto save and manual saves are within the cave....I messed up so bad I quit. Really good game though.
such a great game, shame about the studio.
to produce something of that quality as their first title, just imagine what they could have done with more experience.
unless youre blizzard
bwhahaha. Any good pc game, besides total war and WoW (WoW being a good game is a matter of opinion) will always be suited for consoles. Especially next gen when all they need is more RAM to run these games on consoles. The processors are already good enough on current gen systems to run any pc game on beast mode, like i said, more RAM, the keyboard and mouse support is already here, and a better gpu, then what will be the point of a third party exclusive on anything? It's time for other publishers that aren't Sony or Nintendo to start making their own games so they don't have always be considered third party machines.
Topics like this always turn into a PC player jerk circle.
This dev is telling PC gamers that without consoles you would have less quality games. Think about that before you start your PC is better than console BS. How good would your PC be at gaming with no games?
Witcher 2 wasn't particularly a big budget game as it cost only $10m to produce and sold over 1m copies and counting as a PC exclusive to date.
So all these big budget developers saying pc isn't a viable platform is complete crap.
If you make a good game that the pc gamers want to play they will buy it. If you make a shoddy console port and expect pc gamers to buy it, good luck with that.
It's like kingdoms of amalur for the pc. There's been no real attention made for the pc version. We have the low res textures, the poor camera angles and FoV and the crappy UI all ported from the console version.
I still have the game preordered on PC but its a poor attempt by these so-called pc devs. Then they have the nerve to complain about piracy hehe.
well this has been true for a while, well since Crysis when Crytek werent far off runnign themselves out of business. John Carmack made a good point about this at E3 last year
The bottom line is this is only gonna become more pronounced when the next generation comes because development costs will go through the roof easily 50 million plus for a game,
meaning that even when the next gen first comes out its gonna be very risky making a game when there might only be 10 million consoles out there as opposed to 120 million now
