Iron Galaxy Announces Action Game Extinction for PC/PS4/XB1

Have to wait to watch the trailer but the first thing I thought of reading the bullet points was kingdom of amular! Man I loved that game, I hope this exceeds that one though I'd love to support iron galaxy
Edit: watched the trailer, I liked it! Protagonist looks like the Viking/ Warcraft guy but besides that I'm in for verticality/ awesome parkour mixed with a great Melee combat (at least I'm hopeful for this given iron galaxy pedigree) will this be Boyes first title?

Heh for a second I thought the title of the game was literally Action Game Extinction. Make better use of capital letters next time OP. 
Seems I'm not the only one.
It's surprising to see an independent developer making a game of this sort these days. It doesn't look to bring much new stuff to the table but I'll reserve further judgement until I see gameplay.

Is a comeback still a combover?

I'd hate to see what it looks like when you try, then. Lol.
Anyway, I'd need to see some actual story and game play. Right now nothing makes it stand out but that could change.

Sounds interesting. The AoT concept is a great one and deserves more games to be inspired by it. I'm surprised not too many devs have attempted it but I'm also not surprised because most publishers like to play it way too safe these days

I wonder if any of my friends are working on this.

Gonna be honest, I thought the title of the game was "Action Game Extinction" and that got my attention way more than the actual game did.
Looks okay though.

I was waiting for some corny hook till the end. But they apparently mean business with the adventures of Generic, Lord of Generika.

I laughed at the Tom Hardy looking character. Looks like a commercial for a mobile game. They just need Arnold Schwarzenegger narrating over it.

I think ogres are extremely generic, but I'll try and be open-minded.

Man, so much hate on this already. I think it sounds cool in concept. I've never been a fan of CG trailers as reveals, but damn. It sounds like IG pissed in all of your Cheerios this morning.
If the core gameplay is good, I could see myself being into this. I'm getting a Dragon's Dogma/AoT vibe.

I really need to see some gameplay. I'm sensing some character-action vibes with more vertical combat and traversal but there's no way to be sure until they show off something. Either way, I'm definitely interested. Iron Galaxy are EXCELLENT when it comes to gameplay. There's no doubt in my mind they will deliver a fun game.

Me too lol until I watched the trailer. I was like why would they name their game that?
That looks really good. Damn.

I wonder if this will play anything like Sunset Overdrive.
The trailer had the main character jumping off of banisters and stuff to get to the big badguy.

Just missed first post but yeah, I'm liking what they're trying to do here.
I've never really gotten into MOBAs so as long as it's more action/shooter type gameplay I'm down.

Sorry, but this look like a banner from a cheap browser game.
We should wait to see if they​ port to switch before we know if this game has potential.

fighting giant things with fast combat looks cool
It does?
Iron Galaxy Announces Action Game, "Extinction" for PC/XB1/PS4
... would have cleared it up some. When I clicked the title, I thought it'd be something like an action figure mass melee game.
Anywho, considering the last game that tasked me with attacking on some titans like this was "Ragnarok Odyssey: ACE", I can deal with this.
I don't feel like we see many 3rd person action games that try and work a combat scale like this anymore. It definitely looks like it has a higher level of polish and focus than your average EDF game (which I still enjoy immensely), and thank goodness it's not another boring military gun/arrow shooting bullet-time game or some trite zombie hoard me-too.
I'm also glad it's not forcing some obvious loot or custom main character stuff out this early. RPG elements in EVERYTHING has gotten pretty tiresome as well. I don't mind if it ends up with some, though I'd honestly prefer a focused weapon set and dev-designed armors.
Last years E3 made me feel as if everyone was pulling from the same genres, enemies, and themes much too often. Even if this game has derivative parts, at least they look to pull from things 3, 5, or 10+ years old, rather than from a similar game 3 booths down on the show floor. That's already oddly refreshing.

That's a big ass mini map.
Interested to see what Iron Galaxy can do.
