To early to tell much of anything. If it turns out well it will be something that would interest me. Being developed for last gen as well doesn't bode well for it being a visual powerhouse, and of course it will have Witcher 3 to contend with. Given the studio's history I'm not expecting much.
Graphically it won't be very good. It's based off a modified PhyreEngine which isn't really cutting edge in terms of graphics. The engine supports PhysX so I imagine it would be in the game but only for particles and ragdolls (judging from previous games). This studio made Silverfall, Of Orcs and Men, and Mars: War Logs. All of these were games with good art direction, a fully realized game vision and functional gameplay all marred by generic voice acting and samey type gameplay. I would expect something similar in this game, but I'd buy it because I have a soft spot for this studio after playing through Silverfall: Earth Awakening and Of Orcs and Men.
i did not have a very good experience playing Of Orcs & Men. Was really excited to take it up as I am into Action RPGs but just couldn't get around to the combat mechanics. Uninstalled it after a couple of hours of struggling on my PC. Hopefully this will be a better experience!
This is more like Dark souls mechanic, even Dragon age Inquisition has some Dark souls elements. Gamplay is great. I only hope story won't suck.
Single player only, there's a couple of gameplay videos and since the game leaked on PS3 and X360 a few days ago there will probably be many more shortly. (Console version seems to be around 3.5 GB in size, also on the Steam forums the developers confirmed that there will be no pre-loading and it's the standard release time which means 19.00 here in Sweden.)
It kinda looks like Dark Souls, only better and combat seems to be more advanced and fluid. Interesting, will keep an eye on this.
Couple of threads provide some insight before the NDA lifts. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=811828 http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/24rfxg/bound_by_flame_launch_trailer/ The reddit one has a lot more interesting tidbits.
It's by Spider Software whom I think also worked with Cyanide, Mars War Logs was their previous release, I liked it but it wasn't a perfect game though the last patch made a few improvements such as refining the English translation of the game. (And Cyanide did "Of Orcs and Men" and "Game of Thrones" both with clunky gameplay though I found the story interesting, Orcs and Men is also getting something of a sequel featuring Styx the goblin assassin.)
ppls be good and end the fcking waiting of a good action RPG. edit: and end the fcking lame sht poo game of The Witcher game. it bored us enough already.we need better games. we deserve it.
