The cover already looks so generic and the actual trailer only confirmed it

Without any sort of actual casting system, they might as well have just put particle effects on bullets and called it a day. We need more games that have you put together sequences of runes like Eternal Darkness, or that have you draw symbols like Okami.

Like i said earlier, the are doing the least gameplay wise for the most profit it seems just from the trailer. I already dont trust EA (as most others dont), but its now just extra looking bad. "magic particles, and barely moving..." who the heck are the folks making these trailers lol

10 years old be like : call of duty with magic? lol fuck it, lets pewpewpew and camp... WHAT THE FUCK IM DEAD?! FUCK YOU! MY DAD OWNS MICROSOFT! IM GETTING YOU BANNED SUCKER

You could have also added: "I have your IP now, so get ready to be h4x0r3d!!!"

we already had an fps with magic recently, it was ghostwire tokyo, it was preety fun imo.

Until they added their garbage drm into it... A YEAR LATER... Make it make sense.

Gameplay looks interesting, to be honest.

Can't say I give a shit about the CGI/Hollywood part.

First person magic shooter? So basically Hexen?

 

[ZachFett]

Battlefield with magic? Sounds intriguing.

I mean, that would actually be neat, but this is a single-player-only game so I doubt it's anything like Battlefield.
Also those pre-order bonuses that just unlocks better gear immediately is a slight concern.

 

[Delerious]

I'm all behind the idea of a magic shooter, but while this game looks flashy, there is no substance there. I was trying to understand why an independent studio is trying to make something that gives off that icky, western corporate, mainstream vibe. Then I realized, "oh, it's being published by EA."

Anyway, hard pass.

This looks like the hottest Xbox 360 launch window era game!

There's a game of that sort on the DS called "Lost Magic". Iirc, it was even one of the like first games of that console.

Looks like a flashy expensive turd and a Ghostwire Tokyo ripoff... Guess EA hasn't learned from Anthem

'original fantasy universe' - Ahuh. Awesome. Never played a game set in a fantasy universe. Original too. Sweet.

 

[jimkage]

Looks very skippable.

Feels like a E3 trailer.
