Title: M&B2 Information thread.
Post by: Christo on April 25, 2012, 08:17:57 pm
What do we know about it so far?

Most of us sure know this video, only real proof of it's existence so far..

Also there is another video which has this interesting shot,

From a video about Taleworlds.

I also heard a rumor that the game will come out around 2012 December, can you guys confirm this?

If you know something about it, share with us.

Hey, a character creator where we can create actual warriors and not a bunch of slim jims trying to murder each other!  :lol:
That character creator looks really nice.

Where is there any confirmation that it's M&B 2 alpha footage? Is it merely because the character creation screen has different features? It looks more like features being tested on original M&B that were later scrapped.

Not this nonsense again..

War of the Roses is being developed by Fatshark, not Taleworlds.

Both are under the wings of Paradox, though.

War of the Roses video was amazing, definitely want to play. Want to alpha/beta test even. It has the same publisher as M&B, Paradox, but it lists Fatshark as the developer, not TaleWorlds. I don't think they'd branch off a new company, I think this is some serious competition to Mount & Blade 2.

Don't buy fucking Acer. Fucking shit computers. I bought 2 "gaming laptops" for me and my brother, I paid like 1400€ per computer. Mine motherboard broke after 3 months, my brothers broke after 5 months. Also my BOTH fucking harddrives broke down 2 weeks after the warranty repair of the motherboard. My brothers keyboard smelted cause the computer was getting too hot... Also my friend used to have one of those cheaper Acers, and surprise surprise, his motherboard broke down after 1 month or so, then 4 months after the warranty repair it broke down again. Really fucking good computers homie, ain't playin' and shit... One advice, if you don't REALL need laptop (if  you don't need it carry it with you daily cause of work or something) don't get laptop, but even in that case DON'T get ACER. There's no point in buying laptop, when you get MUCH more powerful desktop for LESS cash. Also don't buy those package computers, they are shit and too fucking expensive always. Best way is to pick the parts by yourself and put it together by yourself. If you don't know shit about computers you can ask around in one of those nerd forums for a good setup for your budget.

I'm somewhat surprised that they haven't even announced any information about Mount and Blade 2.

Mount and Blade 2 didn't even show at Paradox's media event, but War of the Roses did. Therefore, I'm assuming:

1.) New engine
2.) War of the Roses will be released before Mount and Blade 2, and there will be a significant gap between both releases. It wouldn't make sense to release two games that are similar in game mechanics so close together, since most people would likely buy one or the other.

War of the Roses will never be Mount and Blade, and in fact, they are more different than in name or developer. War of the Roses is striving to be the CoD/Battlefield of medieval combat. Therefore, combat will likely be slower and easier to cater to the more casual gamers. Also, there is no way that WotR will be getting very many mods. Mount and Blade has always been about the sandbox experience, and when Warband came out, about the epic battles with fast paced combat that (more or less) required a bit of skill. I'd expect Taleworlds to make the sandbox single player even better, hopefully by increasing immersion. (That was a good fight.) Lastly, there is no way that MB2 will lose it's modability.

When you see what happened with ARMA II's purchase numbers after DayZ hit, this is a no-brainer. Even M&B's mods are what kept the player numbers. If it was left to Native, I doubt there would be a single multiplayer server populated and this would just be a game that was pretty cool at the time and had tons of potential, but not sure what happened...

Definitely. The game is fun on its own but the modability of the game has had a huge impact on the amount of people that bought it and play it.

I play competitive matches on it all the time with my native clan the reason people play native cuz it is more competitive in general the clans actually mean something(no offense) but without strat what is the point of clans in c-rpg because of the restrictions making it hard to won a server its not easy to have clan matches which is why Native exists for clan matches to determine who is better and who has better teamwork c-rpg is a pub mod in all honesty there arent scrims anymore and strat battles arent clan functions its clan and any pubber or other clan who wants to fight the reason NW is so popular is because even that is more competitive than c-rpg I mean you have private linebattles  and the large scale ones that determine who is the best in c-rpg you have no idea you just have the individual skills of players if it was left ot native we would still be alive and kicking GK_Siege has about 90 ppl in it daily

In cRPG, our servers...
NA_1 is 40+ in the morning and 100+ at night.
Community_1 has none in the morning but 20+ at night.
Siege has 40+ - 100+ daily.
EU is even more populated with multiple servers being populated.

If anything. It's about equal. If not slightly more in cRPG.
And my clan just scrimmed three times in 2 weeks.

Post by: Turboflex on December 07, 2012, 05:45:44 pm
I assumed it wasn't Paradox... Or it woulda already had sub-forum on paradox message boards.

Taleworlds for sure just had a limited deal with Paradox, cuz they developed the game themselves, already had a successful product and didn't need much publisher money (maybe some finanacing for Warband development). Publisher just got it into expanded distribution channels.

Now in 2012-2013 a publisher deal is even less important. Unless M&B2 is a total mess, it's guaranteed to be a huge hit. They don't need publisher money, they don't need publisher promotions, they can negotiate their own (lucrative) digital distribution deals with steam, origin, amazon, impulse, d2d, etc. Box distribution negotiated locally where applicable, and pay promotional costs out of pocket (likely don't need much, since the game has a huge following).

Ganbat on form as usual.

Anyway, this doesn't tell us anything about the time scale in itself, since WB itself has gear stretching from the viking age to the late medieval period. However, since the Bannerlord teaser video also had a similar-looking guy, and the title itself sounds like it'd fit in better with an earlier time period, I guess it's possible they've chosen to go for a more limited setting this time. Still need more info, though.

Q: You know there had been many successful modifications for the game, and one of the best known is the Strategus – cRPG, which allows the players to have some sort of multiplayer campaign. Will there be any feature like that in the game to come?
A: at this stage a multiplayer, competitive or cooperative looks still pretty difficult to make.

Are you fucking kidding me? They're seriously considering releasing without multiplayer again, even after Warband? That's absurd.

Seriously, I'll try the beta if they have one again, but I really don't see myself buying it without MP. It'd have to be leaps and bounds better than the previous titles to be worthwhile for SP alone. I'd probably just wait and see if a MP option materializes again, whether it's an add-on or a standalone thing like Warband.

Yeah, I'll do about the same. Unless the supposed SP-only is absolutely fantastic, then I don't see a reason to get it. No multiplayer in 2013? lol

For the first game it was all right, it was a fresh concept. Warband on the other hand was basically nothing without MP, the SP improvements were all pretty minor. If Bannerlord doesn't have MP, I really don't know what they're planning to do to rope in all the people who played Warband.
Title: Re: M&B2 Information thread.
Post by: Jarlek on March 08, 2013, 03:26:47 pm
That totally depends on what they do with SP though. If it's just this version of M&B but with shinier graphics then I'm not buying. But if they seriously improve the SP (destructible objects, better troop/recruit managedment, etc.) then I'll still buy it no matter what.

Mount & Blade was always mainly a SP series for me. Didn't even consider the MP part for quite some time.

Besides, with the super secret game that we don't know anything about, we got M&B style MP more than sorted for quite some time.

I believe that was misinterpreted, and they were probably just speaking of there not being an online campaign or persistent characters.

Post by: okiN on March 08, 2013, 04:34:29 pm
Not misinterpreted, misstated maybe. From what it says there, I don't see how else to understand it than the game being SP only more likely than not. The question may have been about those features you mention, but the answer is about "a multiplayer, competitive or cooperative" -- that means any kind of multiplayer at all, not just cRPG/Strat style.

Was the Q&A originally done in English, or translated from Turkish? If it's the latter, any chance there might have been an error?

Like I said, it'd have to be leaps and bounds better than Warband SP to draw me in. "Destructible objects, better troop/recruit management" would be even less change than Warband SP was from M&B. The campaign was always fun, but I've had my fill of it and I CBA playing it again unless it changes considerably more than that. With Warband MP justified the buy, but if Bannerlord drops THAT... well, they're going to need some SERIOUS new stuff on the SP side.

Taleworlds, are you high?

That was the selling point of Warband. You know.. implementing multiplayer?

I get it that a campaign like strat could be frustrating to make though, but I'd instabuy. o_o

Judging from all the other questions, I wouldn't say they're getting rid of MP:

Q: Warband opened a completely new market and a completely new fanbase for the M&B franchise. It also created a new genre for multiplayer games, a niche that some other software houses are trying to exploit. How is Taleworlds going to deal with the competition?
A: Ah, the competition… let’s just say we’ll carry on doing what we can do best: offer some historically plausible, rock-hard gameplay. That’s what we are trying to keep for the multiplayer.

Q: still about the multiplayer, there is a diffused concern regarding TW’s support of the multiplayer community. In regards especially to “official” community sporting events, like the NC and the ENL, and in general the competitive side of the gaming. Will there be in M&B 2 a more stable and organized supports for clans, players, maps?
A: we have been talking about it a lot by now. The Nations’ Cup support, or the new website, which is a little old by now, but was intended to work as some sort of portal page, where you could register your profile, your serial, see the games you owned and stuff like that. Our best effort was put in creating a stable community that supported us, and for which we could produce stuff for. We are also working on some sort of official ladder, a series of official tournaments.

They said the game is likely to be highly moddable as well.  So if someone wanted to recreate cRPG or a cRPG-like mod that allows for persistent characters and whatever then I bet someone could do that.  I'd just be surprised if they wouldn't have built-in support for these features.

I'd also like to add that they said they're getting rid of our module system in warband.

I'm almost certain that M&B II will feature persistant characters and progression. They told us that they will be focusing a lot on improving the multiplayer - they can just look at cRPG and see how succesful it is.

Quote from: TW
We know that you guys are waiting. But please understand that we are not releasing any info at this stage for many internal reasons. However, here are some facts that some of you guys are wanting us to reiterate.

Fact #1

Bannerlord is coming!

Yes, this is not a rumor, the teaser is not the joke of the year. The game is currently under development.

However, we cannot say when it will be released "yet".

Fact #2

As Captain Lust mentioned, we are also working on opening the flood gates and letting you guys in on the fun. We are also as much excited as you guys because without anyone knowing about the game, the game is really not a game (that's the coffee speaking).

However, our lips are sealed for a reason and when the time comes, we will be glad to post stuff and let info "leak". Captain is working on a few things that he will be showing you guys when that happens.

Fact #3

The date of info release is not very far away. But please do not interpret that sentence as "we will get info next week". It can run up to a few more months or maybe even a little longer. That time depends on how some of the cogs in the system comes together.

But I promise you that it will not take us another 6 months to start talking about it.

Until then, keep this thread alive and entertain me!

SEQUEL TO BANNERLORD CONFIRMED
Amazing! TaleWorlds have, after yet another exclusive interview with LuMag, the only magazine's journalists (because today is my birthday as stated above), revealed the
 
sequel to the much-anticipated Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord. The game will be called M&BIII: Wrath of the Last Bannerlord and the story will take place 600 years after the

events of Bannerlord. The game will be totally revamped into a generic first-person shooter taking place in Calradia. At least six DLC packs are confirmed, each of which will

be released three weeks early for the XBox One and PS4. Needless to say, Wrath of the Last Bannerlord will run on the PC, Mac, and the next-gen consoles, as well as

Android phones. The PS3 and the XBox 360 will not be able to run M&BIII. "Wrath of the Last Bannerlord is still in the planning stage", says Singil, and later confirms that

the game will, on launch, be sold with 30% discount for owners of Mount&Blade, Mount&Blade: Warband, and Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord (I.e. only applying if you own all

three games). Of course, we're really excited about this fresh new look at the Mount&Blade franchise and will inform you of any news we find. Only in LuMag, the only

magazine, can you be informed for all news Mount&Blade.
The devs refused to reveal any more information about Bannerlord  itself though. No problem, we've got enough anyway.

These are hosted on DropBox so everyone should get good speeds loading them.

Looks like they still haven't got the engine to handle proper horizons, still can see pointless out of place hills blocking the skybox transition.

other than that graphics look alright. good even, if some of those textures from m&b1 are only placeholders.

but anyway my main area of interest for m&b 2 is AI, not graphics. still nice tho.
