Amalur MMO Author Claims Game Would ''Blow You Away''

[News Portal]

R.A. Salvatore, the man behind the storyline and lore of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and the MMO set in the same world, codenamed Copernicus, has spoken publicly about the game. "This game is much further along than is being reported - I wish I could show you some if it - and the environments, the animations and the game-play would blow you away," he claimed. "Truth is, most of what you've seen is rough compared to what we have. We had zones in WHITE BOX that were prettier than many you'll find in running, completed, published games." With developer 38 Studios recently laying off their entire staff, it seems unlikely that the public will get their hands on Copernicus any time soon.

You guys should also know that I have invented the worlds first perpetual motion machine. I can assure you all its totally awesome. Unfortunately due to having to fire all the hamsters due to them becoming unionised and unrully, I can't show you the actual machine, just this regular car engine, but rest assured that my perpetual motion machine does exist, and is totally awesome.

Game Would ''Blow You Away'' - Every MMO maker ever.

If I wanted to be blown away on broken promises I'd go see a hooker.

You forgot to ask for money.

Oh... another fantasy genre MMO to crash and burn. They didn't even break even with their single player release, what makes them think this will perform any better? This IP is toast.

Well R.A Salvatore does write fantasy well, he has released a lot of great/enjoyable books, I'll give him that.

Of course not sure it would be the same when Drizzt, Bruenor, Catti-brie and Wulgar all rock up for every quest you attempt and as enemies in PvP and own everything. Then to top it off, for absolutely no reason beyond annoyance, he will kill off Chewbacca. Why would he be in the game? Bam! too late, it no longer matters.

Debatable, I think his work is rubbish.

Screw this guy, he killed Chewbacca.

You don't like his Forgotten Realms stuff?

Nope, it's definitely much better than the average Forgotten Realms works but something about the way he writes comes off hacky to me, tried twice to read 2 different books and i just end up hating him. I just don't think an author can be THAT prolific and manage to put out good work, I honestly think if he just halved the amount of **** he writes he'd come off much better, he's put out 50+ books in the last 20ish years.

Then again though, wtf do i know? He seems to sell pretty well.

Well, you know what you like, apparently fifty shades of grey sells well too...

I don't think he's that bad, but he maybe writes a little too much in the style of "This happens and then this happens and this thing also happens and then that other thing happens too".

Screw this guy, he killed Chewbacca.

I think editorial were going to kill him anyway. Salvatore just got the 'short straw'. Though I seem to recall something about how some of the writers wanted to off one of the big three characters (Luke, Leia or Han), but they weren't allowed to so they had to go with Chewie. I kinda liked the New Jedi Order stuff anyway, so I wasn't that upset by it.

[Ezelek]

I could give a **** about the death of Chewie. They dropped a goddamn moon on him. If you're going to go out, that's pretty boss. I'm pretty sure he held the moon up for a while too.

Now killing off Anakin Solo? **** that noise.
