[Yoshichan]

This looks fucking insane

 

[rodrigolfp]

VR mode, pls.

 

[Lunnarre]

Just posted this in the other thread.

The title and cover art make me think it takes place in the world of Kingdoms of Amalur. Definitely keeping my eye on this one.

Nearly identical pose.

I am in papitos

 

[saintjules]

This looks fucking insane

It does? Maybe if it were VR.

 

[Lunnarre]

I am in papitos

Agreed. It looks very promising so far.

 

[Soren01]

I'm not convinced. I had this exact same feeling when I saw the Immortals of Aveum trailer for the first time

 

[GymWolf]

I don't remember the last game that locked a day one purchase after like 1 min of gameplay but here we are.

Absolutely hyped for this one.

 

[Slothbeingg]

Looks okay. But wtf with the voice acting, really hard to understand what they say.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Very nice, definitely looking forward to this!

 

[Arachnid]

I'm not convinced. I had this exact same feeling when I saw the Immortals of Aveum trailer for the first time

Agreed. Looks like a flashy tech demo. Also, nothing about the world or combat really wowed me. It just looks beautiful.

I'll keep an eye on it, but I'm not expecting much yet.

Immortals biggest problem was it's Netflix-style plot and characters. The best aspect of that game, the gameplay, was very much Metroid Prime-inspired.

I actually liked the game, but I completely understand the criticism and the technical issues at launch

This is how I imagine Avowed would've turned out if it wasn't made by mentally ill people.

Yea I said in the reveal trailer thread this is what I wanted avowed to look like, but fuck avowed this looks great, though yea the protagonists voice is hard to understand, weird choice

Graphics are incredible

 

[Lokaum D+]

pls be good also i would like to see more dismemberment and gore in this game, something like Dead Island 2 would be awesome and fit the theme perfectly.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

THQ Nordic is not inspiring confidence. Chance is, you saw all the better parts of the game.

 

[Corporal.Hicks]

Damn I'm impressed. Fatekeeper looks impressive graphically and captures the essence of my favourite old school RPG games. The music is fantastic too. I never thought I would like a rat as travel companion .

I'm curious to know if they'll be able to create a whole long game that matches the standard they set here.

 

[Romulus]

VR would be perfect.

 

[Disciple of MSSP]

Tainted grail with a bigger Budget

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Looks great, and those sword swings have some nice weight behind them, but for the love of God, please hire some real voice actors!

That raspy grumbling is so distracting!

I like the rat guy but yea

I want this yesterday

 

[drotahorror]

Looks really decent. Definitely on my wishlist (already was).

Not to derail this thread too much but as god as my witness I misread the title as "FatKeeper" and thought it was a game about running an obesity retreat which come to think of it would be an interesting idea for a game. (Section on preventing patients from escaping or sneaking food in. And of course boss sections where you fight in first person mode against a "whale" with ozempic harpoons.)

If that's what you want, give this game a shot.

 

[LordOcidax]

Day 0.

 

[Stafford]

Jesus, looks awesome. Graphics, combat and the impact of the attacks, physics etc, looks fantastic. Can we have a Elder Scrolls looking like this? I know, I won't kid myself there.

I don't have a PC and I do wonder how Steam Machine will run this.

 

[Ribi]

Looks good but the Voice Acting needs some serious work. The swing is hefty and doesnt follow through all the way which is great. You want that feeling that you didnt cut the person with every swing.

[Stafford]

Well, then I really wonder at what resolution and framerate this will run on the current consoles. Not to mention Steam Machine.

Is this on xbone cause I'm getting an xbone for Christmas

 

[ultrazilla]

Once the full game is out of early access. I presume it'll not be until late 2026 or early 2027 for consoles.

 

[Senua]

No

why do you hate yourself ?

 

[ChoosableOne]

Looks nice but I'm not sold on combat yet. Adding it to my wishlist.

I was joking I'm getting switch 2 just trying to liven this place up a bit.

 

[Braag]

More games need to have a weapon inspection button. Love all the different animations in Cyberpunk 2077. It's just pure aura farming.

 

[samoilaaa]

i hope they make the enemies a little more active/smarter , its like they are those mannequins that you use to test skills

 

[Wonko_C]

Looks good. Hopefully they don't leave VR players out by making it non-VR exclusive.

 

[Lux R7]

very cool!

 

[Pejo]

Hope they do a demo. I've yet to find a first person melee combat game that feels good to play.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Saw this on Asmon today. Looks very cool indeed. Not OpenWorls RPG though right? I assume more like Dark Messiah.

 

[vanillaFace]

think of how much more impactful this gameplay could have been if the character was a brave black yasssss queen. In all seriousness though, I haven't gamed since 2023, waiting to hit a personal goal. This is appealing to me the most out of all things lately.

 

[vanillaFace]

interesting. The chonky combat is what appealed to me, I mean aside of literally everything else lol. I think it looks and sounds beautiful, and the gameplay looks engaging.

 

[Nvz1]

Looks pretty slick overall, but the combat really doesn't appear to have any impact effects at all. I feel like it could use some kind of hitstop animation or something, so it doesn't look like you're just slashing through air.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Based, at last... A videogame.

Just needs a bit more blood and decapitation.

 

[ZehDon]

Looks pretty solid. Wishlisted it - will keep my eyes on it!

 

[Goalus]

Hope they do a demo. I've yet to find a first person melee combat game that feels good to play.

Darktide has insanely good melee combat.

On-topic:
It's interesting how this can impress me to the degree it does.
Even though all games look "good" nowadays, this somehow manages to stand out.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Anyone else find it fascinating how similar so many games are but the response to them varies so wildly?
