Afro_Gear Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 IGN Article where they interview Reinhard Pollice, THQNordic's business & product development director: https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/10/29/thq-nordic-bought-my-teenage-years-a-so-what-are-they-going-to-do-with-them Interesting take-aways: "Nordic sees remastering games as a “first step” for the way it wants to handle its acquisitions. The next step could differ wildly depending on the franchise..." and In the case of newly-acquired Kingdoms of Amalur, THQ Nordic wasn’t even aware of how many fans it had on its hands until the feverish reception to it buying the IP. “It's always an interesting challenge to learn about that and find out about what's important for a specific group of people”, Pollice enthuses. Although EA still retains the publishing rights to KoA, I find it very likely that THQNordic can persuade them to sign up for a new deal for a current gen remaster. Anyways, all speculation if it will ever come but I think the odds are very good. What do you all think? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplejmzu8 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Yea, I've read this couple of weeks ago aswell and I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExHaseo Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I don't see why they would even buy it if they weren't planning on using it. And remasters are easy money. So I'm sure it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_-_808 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 THQNordic certainly has the resources and track record to remaster this, but it's likely going to heavily depend on whether EA can/will block them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeancePrime Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I definitely see them doing this and I hope they do since I've wanted to play this game for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrintus Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I hope they do. Would love to get the 100% a second time (without having to order the JP version). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword_of_omens Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 i would play the hell out of it again if they remastered it... such a great game...probably one of my funnest plats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandA60VISE Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Amalur was the only open world RPG I've had fun with and it's mainly because off the more active combat and toned down leveling system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathNyx Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I hope so. I really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and another thing is the fact any build is viable and even has special things for hybrid classes. My first playthrough I did daggers/chakrams and wore heavy armor and had a blast. Even did so on hard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a joke? I have like a dozen of uncompleted Armor sets. Still hoping to get my Lunala helm to complete my set, after so many years. And I've got many pieces duplicated. The drop is crazily random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no joke...the armor and weapon drops were almost always tailored to your active class..yeh you might get dupes, but that's beside the point... I had beaten the game multiple times and reset and changed classes during some of the playthroughs and the drops almost always complemented my classes.. maybe they had changed it in a patch after i had stopped playing it?

dakk55 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I would love for the chance to replay it again on PS4. Hopefully, this means a potential sequel if the remaster sells well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman223 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 It's been nearly a year since this announcement with no further news. I guess getting the publishing rights for the original game has proven difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTacoNinja Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I platinumed/100%'ed both versions on the PS3. I absolutely loved this game, probably my favorite rpg! A remaster and a sequel sure would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because this is happening that doesn't mean that those won't. Most people are very pleased with the work that Sperasoft did with The Third Remastered and are calling for them to do those.

Puchteca Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 If true, I'll get it. It's a long one but I had a lot of fun with the game. Plus I never got around to getting the DLC which I assume would be included in a remaster. If they fix things hopefully they fix the horrible level scaling.
