KoA: Reckoning - Launch Trailer, Interview

EA and 38 Studios have released a launch trailer for Reckoning, which you can watch here courtesy for VG247.

In other news, Stuff.co.nz has a general interview with Big Huge Games' Sean Bean and Ian Frazier:

Frazier says the developers didn't want gamers to have to learn complex attack combos. He believes the combat system will appeal to both hardcore gamers and more casual players.

''We didn't want people to memorise 'X, X, Y, Y, right trigger, B, lightening' because the average person doesn't want to do that - or they can't. We didn't want to make that a requirement so instead we built all of the combat around contextual moves. Press X, press X faster, press X slower, hold X, hit X after you block, hit X after you roll. It's very intuitive. People have found it really easy to pick up the combat and they're soon able to do this plethora of awesome moves in the middle of a fight and just be tactical about it,'' he says.
