Gop then snuck past two Infested in the dungeon’s courtyard before realizing that a large enemy down the hall would eventually force him to fight them. Mowing them down with a few large swings of his sword, he stands at the end of the Hallway and prepares a clever trick. “Spells are very, very powerful in Lords of the Fallen, but they cannot be abused. They can be used offensively, or to lure your enemies into traps…”
After casting a spell that sent a raging bull made of flames down the hallway, the enemy came running towards Gop’s warrior—but, as the large enemy walked over some wooden boards in the center of the courtyard, he fell to his death without so much as a battle cry. “You can lure a boss into a trap, but, you won’t get the loot or EXP from killing it,” Gop explained to me.

Though Gop can complete the game in around 15 hours, he reckons most people will be clocking in at double that. The story is the main focus, though re-exploring old locations to unlock new areas is an option, along with the existence of portals to demonic planes where you can grind loot and XP ad infinitum. The biggest draw for many, however, will surely be New Game Plus, which allows you to pick another class and add a second spell tree to your repertoire.
There’s still a way to go before the game’s planned release in autumn this year, but Gop is already hoping this could be the start of something special. Focusing on the notion that there’s immense complexity behind Lords of the Fallen’s armour that stops short of reaching Dark Soul’s punishment levels, he hopes his first major project since The Witcher and The Witcher 2 is just the beginning.
"We definitely won’t be below 30fps, definitely," he said. "I think if we have to choose between resolution and framerate, we’ll probably choose to go full HD 1080p and have a stable, rock-solid 30fps, rather than try to lower the resolution and push it to 60fps because we believe this game looks pretty good, so we’d rather have a decent resolution to show it off.
"We’re working very hard right now to deliver PS4 and Xbox One in 1080p but I can’t confirm whether it’s possible. It’s probably easier for me to confirm it’ll happen for PlayStation 4, because it appears on this one we’re almost nailing it and pretty much there. For Xbox One though, it’s slightly tougher and we’re still working on it, so I can’t confirm that yet."
EDIT: Gop jumped in the comments section
Hey Guys,
I can understand IGN making a catchy title out of this, so no big deal. Still, for the record - we ARE working hard to make LotF run 1080p on both platforms.
Also, I kinda hoped we could mention the topic of some cool console features that I've talked over with Luke yesterday (Luke, please correct me if I'm wrong and we haven't touched it). One of the ideas we have, is painting the runes on your face and making the game recognize it in a ways that might, for example, give you a buff for the bossfight, etc. Just an example and maybe it's just me, still I thought it might be more interesting than the "resolution wars".
And one more thing - I'm really sorry if my words made me jump into middle of fanboy wars. Didn't mean that.
Thanks!

Lords of the Fallen will try to tell a story without imposing it. You won’t have to remember that the Fallen God’s name is Adyr to face him. You won’t have to memorize the names of crucial NPCs to follow their plots. But I’m pretty sure some people will really want to; and that’s enough.
...
And last but not least, Harkyn will finally be ready to descend deeper underground into where people believe the gigantic body of a Fallen God lies, and where he must be faced. There’s more than one ending in Lords of the Fallen, and together with a New Game + feature, we believe the experience will be worth replaying.

Being optimist I think more stuff will be available after Dark Souls II is released on the PC.

I heard they are planning adding hardcore mode but I can't remember the source.
Red and Fatty took me a while but I died 50 times against the 4 kings. Felt so happy after I killed the 4+ bastards.
But I did not bother with NG+ in DS1 in any form.

They need to reveal more artwork of the game. I hope they release an artbook.

I really hope it's good though, I always feel sorry for RPGs (eastern and western) that end up bad, so much work must go into them.
I wonder why the game needs a protagonist character when so many RPGs forgo them? Voice acted dialog?
I am tired of elves and goblins.

Hope they show more gameplay soon and we don't have to wait until E3.
