You rascal.
The Old Republic is exclusive to Origin.
Well no problems there either as they already confirmed that it will be on steam aswell.
Rock Band predates the whole EA Partners thing for one, and they only promoted it when the music craze was on fire. I don't remember them doing much for RB3.

Any word on crossing Driana's Vein, that stretch of water that cuts the world in half? Teleport, or will we actually travel across?
I'm an expert
Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Oh man..I always assumed this game had co-op because of how mmo-lite it looks but I read some comments that it doesn't? Interest level just went to zero. =/

Okay, I'm in. Day one.
Traded in same games and now have my reserve fully paid off and my Vita budget is still fuly intact. I've been researching the lore and all of the media videos tonight and now I'm totally pumped for this game. Looking forward to trying the demo tomorrow morning before work!

Not sure as they have not stated one way, or the other. However in the OST Preview on ITunes here: Reckoning OST there is a track called "ships" so it's possible we will be crossing it, though not confirmed.
You need the ITunes program in order to listen to the track previews.
I hear ya man, if your interested in the lore and stuff though keep in mind that they are handling Co-Op/Multiplayer through the MMO though. I'm sure they will start talking about the MMO once Reckoning is released.
You can have TOR without having Origin.

I'm really looking forward to this game, but the dev appearance on the Bombcast and especially Weekend Confirmed was one of the most cringe-worthy PR-talk I've ever experienced. It soured me a bit on the game until I saw some of the new media yesterday.
Hopefully the demo gives us a good slice of gameplay.

lol if your talking about Rolston it's just the way he talks. It could be taken as PR-talk, but he talks the same way all the time. I think he might be alittle crazy, or burnt out from the 60's.
hey_it's_that_dog
benevolent sexism
I was just listening to Weekend Confirmed and he sounded like a deranged Jeff Goldblum. And what he was saying didn't sound like any PR talk I've ever heard. If I was in charge of PR that's not how I'd have him communicate about the game.
Thought we were talking about a game being only on one DD store.
I really enjoyed their podcast appearances for some reason. Especially Rolston. He's crazy and I sometimes have no clue what the hell he's talking about, but on the whole I find him pretty interesting to listen to.
Here is a pretty fun video of Rolston presenting Reckoning at Gamescom last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91r-TYkMGg4&feature=related
Going to have to figure out a way to make CITIZENS OF EARTH!, and ENEMY POUNDING FUNFEST a part of the OT title.

I guess I was more off-put by his behaviour and speech than what he was actually saying. Although I really admire his previous work, he went so over the top (almost Dyack style) with his explanations of the game, I just couldn't listen to that for a long period of time. I was re-listening some older Idle-Thumbs episodes with developers like Max Schaefer and Chet from Valve last week, and they were far more pleasant and informative imho. I guess the Amalur casts just stood out a bit more to me because of that.
Luckily I watched the 30 minute Machinima video and all was well again.

Hahah, Alabastra is in there...One Piece fans maybe?

there is no demo listed on your link.
Woo! Downloading now on XBL. 1.90 GB.
Click the little "Try Demo" banner on the left. Not sure why it isn't listed like regular stuff.

Yes I noticed. But alabaster is also a name of a white, sandy mineral.

Ouch. Stay safe man.
That's just normal Ken, not PR-speak at all. You get used to it after awhile. You are correct that he's a relic of the 60s, so he's a bit more effusive and meandering than most developers I know.
(fun fact - my current avatar is a picture taken by Ken of me, after he stole my iphone)
DLing the XBOX demo now, I'll give my re-impressions in the other thread after work and movies.

aaaaaaaaaaaaand blackscreen outside of menus and create a character on radeon 6800 series. Anyone know what settings work with this demo yet? Anyone know how to disable post processing? Yeah, yeah , I know everyone says to disable it but no one is telling me where to find that setting. I'm new to the whole using my computer for PC gaming thing and generally just do art with my setup.
Also up on PSN.
I usually don't download demos, but since this game flew under my radar until just a few days ago, then reading all this information on it over the last few days, my hype went from zero to one hundred so quickly. Must try the demo to make sure I'm not blinded by my own hype. (Which I am almost positive I am not)

Fixed it. Post Processing wasn't a Catalyst Control Center thing, but was an option in the opening menu. Just played through the demo. Started the two legs quest, the ballad quest with the rogue, the quest for the seat in the house of ballads, the quest to save brother denwyn's pal and then ran amuck and butchered everyone in that whole town. Flame daggers in the shop chest was worth the tomfoolery. Didn't get to do any combo stuff, but was able to do some good archery and sneak stuff.
Pretty good.
