38 Studios names, dates first project

if this game play online

Arghhh, that's a very long wait. Now we can also assume the MMORPG is coming out mid 2012 :\

R.A Salvatore. Such a good writer.His books are really good. Hope his skills get transfered well in the game. The end result should be really good hehe

Even I have heard of Salvatore. This game should be great.

Talk about an all star cast from the magnificent Ken Rolston to Todd McFarlane and R.A. Salvatore along with all these experianced highly skilled talents from top notch game companies. This is something to look immensely forward too.

That's an impressive gathering of talents from both the gaming, comic book and fantasy blockbuster writing*, let's they manage too cook up something really special! *I'm a big fan of Salvatore, for those who may not know, he created Drizzt Do Urden (hope I spelled that right), one of the coolest characters ever and his books are really good.

@Gelugon_baat If you knew anything about Curt Schilling you'd have known from the start this was fantasy. He's a long time EQ and WoW player aside from being a major league baseball star. Making these games for him is like us normal (not rich) people dreaming about what games we'd make if we did become rich enough to do it. He retired from baseball and is now living that dream. So, it's not really the Bethesda folks as this is a Curt Schilling and R.A. Salvatore brain child.

Can't wait to see more of this game. I loved rise of nations, rise of legends and seeing ken rolston (morrowind!) working with devs that are civ veterans the game is showing a lot of promise. too bad brian reynolds has left big huge :(

the name of the game sounds a little like generic high fantasy to me, but that's alright. This is right up my ally. Definitely on my to watch list now. I won't get too excited until i see some gameplay and features discussion, but I love RPG's. Hopefully there will be good marketing and media coverage on this game.

An open world single player rpg - sounds as if it'll be right up my alley - this looks interesting. Also, not to nitpick, but, Curt Schilling isn't a Hall of Famer, it's debatable whether he should be.

Somehow I remember Todd not really helping much with Ultima Online 2. Pitty that sorta looked interesting but with him actually co-creating... even if this is a color in the lines, by the numbers midevil fantasy game at least it should look a bit gothic.

single player and a roleplaying game? wow my prayers have been answered !! i'm getting this for my PC and then some.

holy crap. I had no idea the other people were working on this game from bethesda and lucasarts. This may be one of the greatest RPG/MMORPG to ever be created. I hope my expectations aren't let down.

Why dont they just call it Amalur

The name of the title sounds ridiculously great if that makes sense lol, in short EPIC. Also the people on board for this project wins me over. I cannot wait for this game. Plus a MMO on the consoles, this will be interesting because of server problems. I guess they will have that planned out, so nothing to turn me away. Wow 2011 time to be broke for that department in entertainment spending smh too many great titles are coming out

I'm ready for this game already, sounds amazing judging by the people involved in making it... Todd McFarlane will create a masterpiece with this game, and I know the people that made Morrowind and Oblivion will help his ideas come to frutation... I'm more excited about this game than Dragons Age 2 to tell you the truth...

What a name!!

i think its an alright game title, I've definitely heard way worse, as I'm sure the rest of you had. And I don't Reckoning should be in a Racing Game title, that makes no sense lol, that sounds like it would be in an Action or RPG game. to reckon something is to make due on something that is owed. that would have nothing to do with racing hahaha

I agree with runstalker.. very awkward name, doesn't roll off the tongue.. in fact, I don't even know how to pronounce "Amalur". "Reckoning" sounds like it should be in a car racing title or something.. all that said, if it's good, i'll definitely play it..

Looks cool ill have to keep an eye out for this game an this company..Hopefully they can do some good things with rpgs..Kirt was always a fan of everquest he even played the game..Those of you who didnt know that..He formed his own studio an is now working on this game..Sounds cool..Hopefully will be kind of like oblivion with better game-play an art style..Maybe bethestha has some competition now )..

"Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning" - really guys? Fix your name. It's long, it's awkward, and it's a wacky acronym: KoAR. They're likely expecting us, the player base, to call it either KoA or Reckoning. A considerably cooler name would've been Kingdoms of Reckoning, with its memorable 'KoR' acronym. And if needed, you toss the awkward 'Amalur' into a subtitle, like Kingdoms of Reckoning: Amalur's Fate. Do I have to call these guys...

The Kingdoms of Amalur name needs to go. "Amalur" just isn't a sexy name for a game box. The RPG hardcore won't mind, but for mass appeal they need something catchier.

Schill isn't in the Hall of Fame.

this perhaps will even beat oblivions standards i need to see some gameplay first :) and screenies

This is the game that Rich Gallup is making. Awesome.

I'm just glad I know what the head designer of Oblivion is doing.

The title is very weak... I suspect this game will go largely unnoticed, despite the big names behind the scenes.

I'm glad to know what the lead designer for Oblivion is now working on... make another great one Ken.... fill it with good quests, plenty of factions, and keep "virtual sex" out of it!!

Todd Mcfarlane is awesome, excited to see the trailer

I really want ES:V.

First, lol. Hope it turns out good.
