Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning - Before You Buy

[@aizytaiiyoo9670]

This game really deserves a huge remake with actual graphics engine. Was an amazing RPG back in time & it still is one of my favorite

[@randomdude8897]

The best bet is that they made a remaster of this game to test the waters and see if people are still interested in the franchise. If it sold good then they will more than likely make a sequel

[@dresheraton9276]

@@randomdude8897 Yes, but doing the bare minimum on a remaster is not the way to go about it. I have not seen anything but reviewers reaching to say something positive about it. Mainly about the improvements made. The positives are about the same things that made the game great in 2012. The game play, so why buy the remastered version.

[@Chirpysemperboy]

I wish that, instead of remastering Reckoning, they simply MAKE A SEQUEL

[@Klyttorius]

They likely will if this remaster does well. Since the initial game didn't sell well they most likely weren't willing to do a sequel until they build the fanbase for it. Lest the sequel suffer the exact same fate as this game originally did. (Cost way too much, didn't even break even, bankrupt the company). There was no money to pay the employees let alone repay the $75 million loan. Yeah pretty sure THQ doesn't want a repeat of that considering the fanbase for this game is still relatively small. They're playing it safe like 38 Studios should have done with this game in the first place. I highly doubt they would have bought the rights to this game without intent to continue making games for it.

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

They are adding an expansion. If it goes well.... Fingers crossed!

[@HurricaneSA]

Like others have said, they most likely will. I suspect it will just be easier to market a sequel if people actually know what game it's a sequel to. So you know, put a "re-mastered" version of the original out there for the current generation and then develop something better. They will definitely release an expansion or two.

[@jdbruiser]

I have both on Steam. I can tell you this has been remastered and it was done very well. I am playing 4K 60 on this with no issues and it looks amazing. There are scaling issues on the original with text, menus and such at 4K. The game is some 30GB larger too. I can look at this video and see the difference between the old and definitely can when playing it. Definitely worth the $25 that I paid on Steam with it including the next DLC.

But nowadays it seems like everything has to be 4k top of the line graphics with ray tracing enabled to be a good game or something. I'm happy with 1080p@60fps on the games I've been playing on Stadia. And I've been going back to some old PS1 PS2 and PS3 games that I have wondering why I ever stopped playing them.

[@YeOldeMachine]

@@TowerMike yeah, I think its a combination of looks and gameplay. I love how fluid the combat and animations are. The older games feel so stiff and/or clunky. I can barely get into Dark Souls 2 anymore. .and that was one of my favorite games ever. I hope i snap out of it, then I'll always have something to play

[@74kross]

@@TowerMike Im in my 40s and I cant get immersed into shitty looking games, people are different.

[@tyrelmcallister3634]

Finally installed it. Played the original back in 2012 and loved this game. On PC, the loading times are great, barely 4 seconds for large areas.

[@TheShad0wW3av3r]

Like a few others have mentioned, I too recently got this from being a PS Plus subscriber and am having a blast playing it! Although it can be a bit buggy at times (Yeah, I'm looking at you "Glitch-him-out-of-the-immediate-combat-area (quarter of the way across the zone)-and-stick-him-wayyyyy-up-in-the-air" bug), it IS a breath of fresh air (world/gameplay/storyline/etc) to mix up the monotony ESO has kinda gotten to be over the years! I've currently got ~200hrs of gameplay in and am probably only 1/4 of the way through the game (just finished up questing/exploring the whole of Dalentarth and have moved on to the Plains of Erathell), but that's probably just me being me and exploring every nook and cranny of each area and doing every side quest/task.

[@Capsicum2002]

PS Plus anyone?

[@claytalian9091]

Apart from the lack of any real effort to improve the graphics(this is more of a port than a remaster tbh), this game is totally worth the 40 bucks(30something from Walmart), and being able to play it on a console above the 720 resolution on my 4k tv is nice. Also I think good sales for this could get us a high-quality next-gen sequel.

[@redhammer92]

Im feeling like they made this to test the waters. Low-cost, possibly highly profitable venture i say. That would explain the low effort.

I remember this game! One of the most customizable combat mechs I've ever played. It's a massive time sink, sure as hell worth the money!

u can use the reshader and cutomize the shaders for sharpening and brighter/darker colors. or use the mods for it on nexus mods with sweetfx or reshader.reshader has a console where u can choose in game the shaders for brightness and sharpness

Got it free on PS Plus last November. Just downloading it now.

[@CaseyPlexy1]

KOA was ahead of its time in 2012. I’ve played a few hours so far on PC. The new “very hard” difficulty is good. The FOV slider and camera options are a definite plus. Other than those 2 I don’t notice much. The graphics are slightly better, quicker rendering. If you haven’t played the OG version then definitely pick this baby up.

Based on the gameplay in the video it looks like it would be fun, but I feel like I'd never get used to that camera style of never staying centered. If nothing else watching this just makes me want the next elder scrolls game that much more.

[@chesterstevens8870]

Set this game to download Saturday afternoon. Sat down to play it and before I knew it Sunday night had rolled around. Nearly 20 hours in and I haven't even started the main quest line. Even playing as a stock fighter is engaging, but the option to mix up playstyles is always available. Only complaint I have is that mechanically it's not what I would call innovative, and at times the world feels like a depopulated WoW server. Other than those quibbles I love it; it gets an 8/10 from me.

[@ArdentMoon]

Of all the games I’ve played this was always the most memorable.

[@Raytenk]

I’m sold. I found it on the microsoft store today, saw pics and reminded me of fable 2. I absolutely love Fable, nothing tops it for me but I’ve played it enough times since its release, so this feels like something fresh. Its weird I never ever heard of this game… maybe I did cause I tend to keep up with games, but this one slipped, I haven’t even finished the video but I said screw it and bought it right away with 60% off. Games are just not fun these days, I’m stuck on the old (Fable, oblivion etc) why is it so hard for developers to feed us this type of game? Purely RP, the fight is simple, versatile and has variety, with romance options, owning property and etc. that’s why I still love Fable, there hasn’t really been a game like it

[@DauntlessMage]

I saw my cousin play this on my 360 when I was 7 and somehow remembered the name. Cant wait to play it. I saw some gameplay and it looked awesome

[@a.e.i2409]

[@rosaeyy697]

got it for ps plus and it’s such a good game, seriously a hidden gem

[@tyrannicpuppy]

Sounds like a perfect remaster. It's exactly what the fans of the game were so keen for. More of the same Amalur. With any luck, this time we'll get the sequel the game deserved. I cannot wait to sink another few hundred hours into exploring it all over again.

[@RealStuntPanda]

I got this with EA's Play Pro and it's exactly what I wanted: an old school, simple RPG without a billion options that muddy the experience. It harkens back to a simpler time when you didn't need a spreadsheet to figure out how to play a game. Imagine walking into a 1990s arcade and playing the best hack and slash game you've ever played. That's KoA: Re-Re. It's just a fun game and the Re-ing cleaned up the graphics too so when I play on my PC at 3440x1440 at 144 FPS it's seamless. This is the game I forgot I wanted to be playing.

[@Anthony-xj2ub]

Started playing it last week because it became free on PlayStation and I love it, it feels like it’s an old game like one of those 90s arcade games and so fun with so much depth and things you can do, the armor and weapons alone make the love the game, the destiny cards are beautifully done and honestly the only thing I can criticize if the camera movement but I’m also a lil pansy when it comes to that, it’s an amazing game and I’m so glad I got it for free

[@ihatewonderwall4843]

The fact that this game got remastered makes my heart so happy. I ordered a copy yesterday, and am just waiting for it to arrive ❤

[@cyrusmerrigold3278]

Jacob J479 you’ll be glad to know that I’m currently playing this on hard mode and am at lvl 21 atm. Issues I see is the brightness, the running analog you mentioned, and sometime the fate killing (press A) doesn’t work. Overall, this was a good return. Plus, I get to do the same achievements again to add to my collection.

Honestly this game is fun for awhile but it kinda just drags on and on, the story (which should be much better considering the designers) is very basic with only a few cool or fun things going on. I couldn’t bring myself to finish it even when I tried going back to it a long time after and I’m the type to to finish any game I play good or bad... that says something lol

I have always had it since it came out. One of my favorites. One of the games I never uninstall.

[@campbellsoup93]

I played the demo back in the day so I could get a new armour and weapon for Mass Effect. And then I never once used that Armour or weapon. I did really like the Demo and wanted to play the full game, but it wasn't on PSN and I couldn't find a physical copy anywhere so I ended up completely forgetting about it. Then I saw it last month on PSN. And better yet, it was free with PlayStation Plus. Been playing it non-stop since and it's honestly really fun. I don't care if the graphics don't compare to today's shit because for me, the graphics aren't that important. The load times aren't that bad for me and the gameplay, while it took some getting used to is perfectly fine. The setting though, that's what really does it for me. The story and the world and the lore. So good.

[@steven6214]

When this came out, i played the hell out of it, was a fable-esque, fantasy RPG that pulled me in, i remember when i finished it and i was anxious to see a sequel, that never happened, when the re-reckoning was announced i was VERY excited, but seeing reviews and hearing that it's basically just a re-release more than a remaster, was disappointing, i'll definitely still be picking this one up, one day, when it hits like $15-20.

[@weedlehallow7498]

Same here. I'll catch it on a sale or when the expansion comes out. Still have the original, and it's not too bad looking as it is.

[@popeslothy5908]

If you want a sequel you should pick up the re-reckoning, what they're probably doing is gauging how may people would be interested in seeing an amalur 2.
