The day of Re-Reckoning is coming! Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is scheduled for release September 8th, 2020 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, featuring stunning visuals, refined gameplay and all new content!
What does the future hold for the Fateless One? A brand new expansion, Fatesworn, will introduce all new content to Amalur 2021!
New expansion for a 8 year old game, instead of making a proper sequel?

Possibly it's a new mini-expansion at that.

Preorder pages just went up on the Microsoft Store.
Regular edition for $40 and "FATE Edition" for $50 which includes the Fatesworn expansion. Description:
Quote:
Brand new content that extends the game world by 5+ hours. Agarth visits you and explains that the resurrection by the gnome in the Well of Souls has caused massive disruptions to the Weave. You are the ‘epicentre’ of the potential dissolution of the Weave or the beginning of the first threads that will start to unravel in the Weave.
Well it's 10$ but expansion is maybe a wee bit optimistic here.
EDIT: Well there's a chance the description is also a bit ass and this is included now and then the expansion will have more new content later.
Or it's totally accurate and here's the game and in six months you can expand that by up to five more hours for 10$
Okay so lets talk about what happens for already owners.
We have chosen to do a 50% discount on steam digital copies for both versions of the game for people that already own the game on that platform.
This means
Standard edition will be 50% for people that owns
But also the FATE EDITION that INCLUDES the new expansion set to release in 2021 will also be 50% off for people that already own the old game.
Ow and btw guys it stack with the 10% launch discount, so 60% on BOTH The remaster and the remaster + new expansion!
This will run for 2 months after release! so until November!
That's something that puzzles me a bit, why get a console version of a game that comes out on PC?
If its for couch access-> Steam link and other software has you covered.
You usually pay more for it and you can't mod/tweak the game.
yeah, i'd never buy a console version of a game that's on PC, and if its an "exclusive" that eventually comes out on PC (e.g RDR2) i sell the console copy directly. Obviously have my PC connected to my TV too.
Nice cash grab. Buy the same game again, it's a remuuuuster. For people who enjoy it - you are secret masochists

I never played the original.. it's one of those """open world""" games, but you can't climb or even jump, which restricts exploring a lot. Even a MMO like WoW is more immersive than that. Doubt you can dive underwater either, which you can do in WoW.
I bet it also have invisible barriers that hinders you from jumping/falling if you're on a height. I find that really retarded and immersion breaking, it does not belong in open world games.
edit: yes, i googled, you can't drop down from a height into e.g water, can't fall to your death either. gives me mobile game vibes.
this is the game this baseball player who wanted to make a videogame went bankrupt on and dragged an entire unites states state in depth with him ? tax payer money funded it
so now u know why remaster, a state wants their money back and make us pay for it
Schilling lost his entire $50 million investment along with the $75 million in Rhode Island taxpayer money.
meanwhile on kickstarter people make games for 500k roflol, fucking scam, u could smell it a mile away, braindead baseball player with zero experience ... oh, he played a some mmos, he must be expert surrounded by yes men and fans in government happy to get a autograph and give him tax payer money ... disgusting

Update September 7, 2020
What additional gemplay changes have been performed?
Level lock has been removed
The original game determined the level of a zone on first entering, this was stored in the save file. In Re-Reckoning we re-calculate the level every time entering or re-entering a level
New zone Level calculation
The original game has all zones marked with a minimum and maximum level. on entering, the current player level was clamped into this minimum / maximum range and stored as level
We now use the current difficulty level as a means to determine the level before clamping into the minimum / maximum range. On Casual difficulty, the player level is reduced a bit, on hard and very hard it is increased. We also increase the maximum values for hard and very hard difficulty
The XP gain has been reduced to cater for the increased level of enemies and we made sure that XP is not increased when playing on harder difficulties due to the effect of beating higher level enemies
The result is that you can still out-level zones – which is desirable if it doesn‘t happen too quick. It is part of the power fantasy to be able to come back to initial zones and be over powered – but out-leveling zones you play for the first time should only happen rarely
We also made the zone Level calculation easier to modify by modders (PC only)
Loot level lock of Containers removed
Loot containers now only store their generated loot when they are opened while before they used to store it when entering a zone and were generated to the current player level
Loot generation was changed
In Re-Reckoning loot generation rules are altered so that you will more often get items that fit your characters skillset. Loot is mostly randomly generated but we increased the weights of loot that matches the players skill lineup better and we have a virtual counter that increases the chance of better loot drops when you didn‘t find anything good

Ok sounds reasonable but maybe don't post it in the PC section but in the console section then?

lol valid point and I did think of that but too lazy to create a new thread plus the majority of gmers are in the PC Games Arena
Yeah it definitely looks like a Re-remustard/10, and to think that the game could have greatly benefited from a proper upgrade with visuals that don't reek of MMO and with a proper non-consolish UI.
At least they've added a new difficulty setting which is probably better than nothing:
Quote:
Will there be more balance to the game in terms of difficulty? it became too easy in the end
We've added a new difficulty called Very Hard, explained like this by the devs:
"First, we added a difficulty mode like all the others. They module damage output of enemies, health of players and allies and the amount of attacks that enemies may do at any one time.
Secondly, we fed the difficulty into how enemies level in respect to the player. On Very hard mode, levels will be higher, level cap for areas will be higher than on easier modes."
11GB > 40GB when the biggest differences are in things not even related to textures (lighting for example)
I'm guessing they leave everything uncompressed, include every language under the sun and... I dunno? Seems excessive either way
It depends on the work done. If they moved to a PBR rendering pipeline, it has a lot more assets to render the "same" scene. Couple that with higher quality textures (as well as all the additional "textures" that together combine to achieve the material), and it's a huge bump in size.
Yes, that tends to happen when you have an engine suitable for much more different job than what is needed. Graphics look very similar, but I bet under the hood, the new engine is much more complex; most likely, too complex for what it tries to do.
