    I had heard the name Lords of the Fallen before as a game to look out for on the PS4/XB1 and PC but today the first gameplay footage was shown. I think it looks really promising. I like a good action-RPG and this one looks like it could fit the bill nicely.

    In the article I read it was compared to Zelda, Darksiders and Dark Souls. The Dark Souls comparison scares me a little but if the game is like Darksiders (the first one) then that is good enough for me.

    Apparently aiming for an Autumn release.

    Definitely looks more Darksiders than Dark Souls. More action oriented, which is fine. I loved Darksiders as well. Will keep an eye on it.

    Yeah , it plays very well.
    I had no issues at all, no bugs or glaring control issues ( was using a wired 360 pad)

    This one flew under my radar until today, the gameplay in the OP looks very interesting indeed.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii34__ydJVI


    The combat looks quite similar to dark souls, and in that trailer they do seem to be touting a degree of difficulty with the learn from defeat line.

    I read ... can't find it now .. that the devs had said it won't be an easy game.

    The this gets compared to Dark Souls the more my interest drops.

    I'm the exact opposite :pac:

    The do mention that in one of the videos, but say its a little more arcade than dark souls, but like zelda in terms of exploration.

    What I took from it in terms of dark souls-ness was the locking on and circling the enemy , the character had a shield and sword , the rolling to evade and the stamina bar that depletes while attacking and evading and you need to back off a few seconds for it to recharge.

    They did also half mention a save point in the video which was a red glowing thing, but without knowing if it uses a checkpoint system or not it may or may not be like the bonfires in dark souls too.

    Either way from the few videos I watched this really ticks a lot of boxes for me.

    Looks like a Dark Souls clone to me, which could be a very good thing if it's a good clone in my book. Will keep me occupied until Dark Souls 3 shows up :)

    Definitely more of Dark Souls clone than other games, just the movement of the character, the way they hold the weapons and attack, strafing and backstepping. It's honestly too early to tell, but so far it looks pretty meh. Action-orientated Dark Souls clone sounds BAD in my opinion.

    Good article from Eurogamer on this, http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-05-29-lords-of-the-fallen-dont-you-call-it-dark-souls, it seems like a mix between a Souls game and Darksiders, has my interest though unless it ends up being like Bound by Flame.

    Had never heard of this game before, consider me interested. Of course the delivery could be terrible but will definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

    October is going to be an expensive month with The Evil Within, Dragon Age 3 and DriveClub coming out also.

    I am. Really like the look and everything I hear about it, which makes it sound like a more accessible version of Dark Souls.

    Was going to post a similar post this morning and got distracted :o

    Heres an hour of gameplay, shows in games menus and upgrade menus

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oROMuRvRLps


    I really want this to be good, it's getting released during a busy window for releases but it interests me a hell of a lot more than some of those releases so day one based on everything I've seen so far.

    The music is also sounding pretty cool too

    Aye, same here. I'm quietly optimistic this works out well. Even if it's a solid if not spectacular game I'll be happy. Keeping hype levels in the green so I don't scream when I hear the usual wait for a sale type comments. :pac:

    I am the same, I have had more fun with a game like The Summoner sometimes than I have had with the likes of Skyrim.

    Seems decent enough but id much rather play Dragon Age 3 instead, which is probably why this game isn't getting much attention.

    Also a Summoner fan :eek: Probably in my top 15 games of all time. Summoner 2 not so good, but enjoyable!

    looks dark soulsy which has me very interested, also looks like you have a set character which could lead to having a decent story in the game which if done right with the gameplay/difficulty of ds could be amazing, but like all games these days, i aint getting my hopes up :(

    Did anybody catch the twitch livestream? The game looks good. It seems cleverer than dark souls which will probably make it easier too. Things like being able to cancel a long attack animation is a welcome addition.

    I'll take a look at reviews before getting it. EpicNameBro has a preview up too where he's fairly critical but fair on the preview he's played.
    He's slow at getting videos up so I'll keep an eye on his twitter feed next week to see if he's positive about it.

    Anything I've seen from the devs on this seems to be very straight up and honest about what it is they are delivering, which is pretty refreshing these days, so I have high hopes for this.
