EB's Matt Heywood writes, "CI Games had a demo of its Lords of the Fallen title on display at PAX Prime 2014, which is a Dark Souls-like action RPG for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC that is releasing on October 28, 2014. I had a chance to give it a spin while covering the show, and during the demo I quickly found out that it’s a viscerally brutal title – both visually and technically - that should excite fans of the Souls titles who thrive on punishing gameplay. Lords of the Fallen requires skill, deceit, luck, a bit more luck, a whole lot more skill, and a heavy dose of planning to be remotely successful, but in a sick sense that is what makes it so intriguing to play, and why fans of this genre of video game should enjoy it when it ships in late October."
Are you ready to become the Master of Fate? That's what you'll be doing with the latest free update for Lords of the Fallen.
The Lords of the Fallen update v.1.1.560 brings a number of stability and performance optimizations for the game, and a much-awaited fix.
The latest Lords of the Fallen update has helped boost performance but at the cost of removing certain graphical items in the game. Check out the side-by-side comparison as proof.
This game is definitely not easy. Best of luck to those of you taking the challenge this October.
Lords of the fallen is 100% my most anticipated game for the rest of 2014
I need something to fill the Dark Souls void. Dark Souls II didn't cut it imo, so this looks very promising to a sadist like me.
Hmmm, I'm not done with Dark Souls yet. Not sure I'll be playing this anytime soon.
I watched a gameplay video of this, it looks too dark soulsee for its own good in my opinion. I mean, you can even run back and get your experience if you die... Not exactly original now is it?
