Wow, if nothing else Untold Legends Dark Kingdom shows the chasm that can form between titles for this next-gen system.
The graphics weren't just not next-gen, they almost looked sub Playstation 2, and the gameplay was simply mindless button mashing.
Sword slashes looked like they were animated with pencil swipes and everything from the map layout to the sudden appearance and disappearance of enemies screamed previous gen.
If what I heard at the show was true, that the game is in fact 100 percent complete, this is a title you are really going to want to avoid.
One funny oddity that another gamer pointed out to me about that game is that the female protagonist in the game undergoes a significant change in gait when she picks up something and starts to walk with it.
When she's unladen, the female lead walks around, sword in hand, like she's about to cut someone open, groin to chin, but give her barrel to carry and suddenly she's throwing her hips to the side so much you expect to hear a little bass drum and snare soundtrack to kick in.
Way to animate fellas. At least it gave us something to talk about.
