In an exclusive interview with GamerZines, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning's systems designer Will Miller has revealed that the open-world RPG has "hundreds of hours worth of content."
The fantasy offering is being overseen by acclaimed author R.A. Salvatore, industry veteran Ken Rolston and multi-talented illustrator Todd McFarlane, so unsurprisingly there's a lot of content to get in there.
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.
Good b/c its on my to get list for 2012
RPGs, truly getting the bang for buck, if you don't rush through them in a short period of time.
Full erection! Just need to read the other post here and it will go down soon enough.
I highly doubt it.
Even skyrim the main story is only 2 hours.
What is it in this game? 1 hour?
Running around a world with no direction doesnt count as play time. Its even worse than grinding
Very excited for this game. With this, Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and of course the inevitable Skyrim DLC, next year is looking good for high-end RPG's.
I've had my eye on this for some time and I can't wait to add it to my collection.
