Title: Paradox are making a new game!
Post by: owens on August 06, 2013, 09:37:07 am
I signed up for the alpha but havent had a look yet.


This should be a pretty damn good game. If they take the best bits of warband and war of the roses work we could be in for a great combination of deflection, bumps and feints that will be really cool. I pray directional blocking.

"The next title from the team behind War of the Roses"? It's like being hyped by "the next movie from the director of In The Name of the King and Alone in the Dark".

Really surprising Paradox is giving these losers another shot.

Either they need the cash or are really desperate to stay in this game niche that they were so successful with alongside Taleworlds and publishing Warband.

Quote from: PC Games
That’s 64-player online war, played out across the “authentically inspired” fields of 9th and 10th Century England as either invader or bewildered Saxon. Fatshark have retained the skill-driven mish-mash of swinging, blocking and dodging War of the Roses specialised in, and piled their ship high with in-depth squad features, shared buffs and customised facial hair.

Also there's no mounted combat.

That doesn't surprise me, their coders can't code for shit and weren't even able to make decent horseback combat to begin with, so rather than redo it, just ditch it and forget it because that's what shitty developers do.
Title: Re: Paradox are making a new game!
Post by: Miwiw on August 06, 2013, 07:14:11 pm
Horseback combat was awful in WotR, or let's be fair about it; the whole combat was actually really awful...  :P

No, this game is not gonna be good.
Title: Re: Paradox are making a new game!
Post by: Banok on August 06, 2013, 10:34:59 pm
well the setting is more interesting to me than WoR, just wonder if it will be historic at all. if its horned helmets etc then fuck...

but I prefer dark ages period to later medieval, or however I'm technically supposed to say it but you still know what I mean.

also there is speculation that bannerlord is also set in an earlier time period, I'm hoping they go for history based game this time also. the guy does look anglo saxon to me, also someone said term bannerlord was ancient.
Title: Re: Paradox are making a new game!
Post by: Miwiw on August 06, 2013, 10:40:26 pm
http://www.warofthevikings.com/

"Multiplayer Close Quarter Combat in the Viking Age set in Saxon controlled England!."

In the link, Nessaj posted they say stuff like items will be historical accurate, the rest is more historical inspired. I guess they won't get many friends if they use horned helmets. :p

But creating a game which is historical inspired is much easier than making it 100% fully historical accurate in every detail. That's also fine imo if they don't do stuff like you mentioned, e.g. horned helmets.

Medieval times are giving more stuff though, if you stretch the time 900-1200 for example you can use lots of different armors that probably was never used together. I also prefer the dark ages though and would be happy if both this and bannerlords will stay with it though. But who knows, probably they just change WotR a bit. I'm curious about people getting into alpha.
Title: Re: Paradox are making a new game!
Post by: Overdriven on August 06, 2013, 10:49:29 pm
Well in fairness historically accurate armours was the one place they did really hold up. My sister has worked in various historical archives and knows the guy who advised them on it. Apparently he saw what they originally intended and basically told them it was all wrong and persuaded them to re-do it. Only thing that detracts from it is the emblems printed on everyone's chest I guess.

Well that actually is a useful talent...one that you can be proud of at the end of the day.  Making a "CoD" version of Warband, and then releasing DLC as a whole new game (Where you re-skin the textures to an earlier era)...not so much.

yeah I just read those articles linked and screenshots, I'm happy with historically inspired the assets look really nice. But yeah does so far just seem like a reskin without cav.

But if they are asking for alpha testers maybe they do want to overhaul the gameplay.

And yeah ive been playing brytenwalda and tons of aoe2.
Title: War of Vikings

So it looks like another game in the same line as War of the Roses.

However the dev team has learnt a lot about game balance by gathering feedback from players on its forums and the results of the european championship games.

Well the teaser trailer was a lot better than Bannerlord's but I doubt the gameplay will be better. Besides doesn't paradox produce the games and another company makes them, like taleworlds made warband. So did fat shark make WoTR? Because people keep saying paradox ugh and paradox this.

Push a button for executions and you can revive "downed" teammates (before they get executed).  No noticeable difference when you swing and hit, swing and miss, and swing and are blocked (so your best defense is a good offense when there's no difference between these 3 scenarios).  It's just a shit game, made for spergy 12 year olds (like most populist games these days, they cater to the lowest common denominators).

Not a reskin, it feels quite a bit different combat wise, things feel faster. They are on the right track.

Up to you if you like it or not though, I am not saying its better than warband or anything silly like that. It is just better than wotr, credit where credit is due.


I actually like it, at least for now. I know I will play it for a bit, judge me if you will.

Well I was comparing it to WotR beta or how much of it I recall. It is slightly less shittier in the sense that the combat makes a bit more sense than WotR beta's did (swings going through people and all kinds of similar bullshit). But overall it doesn't really offer anything different than WotR does, does it? I'm not sure what WotR added past few months but the only thing I noticed that's different from WotR beta is the special attacks and dodge. Still feels like a DLC/reskin rather than a new game.

Combat mechanics are kinda different. It is faster paced than wotr and a lot less glancing strikes/armor tanking. You actually have to block or you will die in a couple hits. All hits land solid too, wotr had all sorts of weird shit that determined if a hit landed solid or did like 5 damage. They also got rid of the stupid executions and other things that were dumb about wotr. Granted I am not the biggest wotr expert as I only played a total of 7 hours according to steam.


Don't get me wrong though, the game needs work but hey its an alpha so there is a little bit of hope there.


It isn't a reskin but it isn't a brand new game either. I am just keeping my eye on it, not throwing it in the trash just yet. I always liked wotr's custom loadout/class thingy where you could customize every part of your weapon and armor sets down to the materials they are made out of, (really the only thing I liked about wotr) so I am looking forward to that getting added.
Title: Re: Paradox are making a new game!
Post by: TheAppleSauceMan on August 23, 2013, 11:02:17 am
Played it for about an hour or so. I'll admit the combat seems a bit improved. Much less glancing, feels a tad less clunky and slow. But they still have a lot of the old faults. Dodgy hit detection, spastic combat, etc. Though it is an alpha so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. What I really dislike though is how hitting an enemy doesn't stun them or anything, so say you hit and enemy as they wind up a swing, you'll hit, but their swing will still go through and hit you right after. Removes a lot of the skill in combat imo. Hope it's changed to be more similar to Warband's. I think the main reason I actually had a good bit of fun is because coming from c-RPG to this, well, it's extremely easy. Just like WotR. I think I died maybe three or four times in the hour I played lol.
Title: Re: Paradox are making a new game!
Post by: Miwiw on August 23, 2013, 11:15:14 am
I've played WotR Alpha and can of course say that this alpha is far better than the WotR one over a year ago. =P

It still feels very weird though as the whole combat is a bit messed up imo. At least compared to Warband. If you didn't play Warband, you probably could like the WotR combat.  :P

It's quite a bit better than Wotr, I didn't feel the urge to leave asap.
Still not much competition for warband.

Needs quite a bit of tweaking before I'd consider buying it (and knowing Fat Shark, those tweaks probably won't happen :P).
It's a nice arcadey break from warband though and it does have some promise.

Been quite vague as NDA.

Worth trying if you get a key.

Post by: Leesin on August 25, 2013, 05:23:22 pm
I played it the other day for a while and was massively disappointed, it's still a shit fest and sure it's alpha, but they are already on the same path as they were with WotR when I played that in closed beta, that path leads to another clusterfuck piece of shit game.

 The melee combat still feels awkwardly mechanical with no fluidity at all with backpedal speeds being way too high and the dodge function just adds to the negatives of this monstrosity which struggles to present any positives. I won't be wasting my money on this junk like I did WotR, they should probably just give me the game for free upon considering I payed a full retail price for WotR only to receive a polished turd.

Can't believe how shocked they were that the guy with no shield blocked.

I am not gonna even try this shit.

The devs are just lost cause.
In wotr they implemented parry delay just to lower skill ceiling and gave a noobs chance to kill something :rolleyes:... retards.

No cav here? Maybe its better as they failed miserably to implement it in wotr-shit.

That duel....clearly proves that Dodge was a very stupid mechanic from the devs part. Lol just checked my Gmail. I had the alphakey already from 22. august. Didnt really bother to check other tabs besides the "general" tab. Cant say im sad about it. Its playvalue is mybe 1-3 hours anyway.

I got a alpha key by mail.

X2068-WCHTX-MBNGV

If anyone wants it just activate it on steam.

Should have done the same. Still the curiosity and hope that the game would be better dragged me to it. Still has unblockable freehits and archery is supereasy if not even easier now then before imo. So easy its even boring. There really is no way to progress with this class. Also this dodge, it really proves that these guys will never produce a proper medieval melee game. This new dodgemechanic basically destroys the "fighting based on skill" the devs where going for. Cause when you spam dodge, you dont have to use directional block.

Stick to Warband lads. Vikings is even worse then the last one. Atleast as far as im concerned.

Guess I am a bit too much of a hopeful optimist.  :P

You guys probably have the right of it. Based off how much progress wotr made (not much) I doubt wotv's potential will matter, it has the potential to be an alright game, but fatshark will likely fuck it up.


After the first day playing it I honestly quickly lost interest and have not played it since. It did however make me return to cRPG, as I haven't played in quite a while.




So..

I actually like it, at least for now. I know I will play it for a bit, judge me if you will.

Wasn't entirely true.

Curiosity got the better of me so I downloaded it knowing it would be bad and.... I swear I've lost brain cells. Its just, swing, dodge back rinse and repeat, the only people who actually block are the people with shields.  :mad: Honestly I don't understand how some people play this like we do warband... Its just spam spam spam, at-least native duelers block incoming swings, people on WotV don't.

Its so depressing that devs are allowed to produce pieces of shit like this.  :|

Have you guys heard about this game called Gloria Victis?

Played the Beta/Alpha, I personally was really enjoying it, I'll definitely buy when its on  sale. The combat just seems smoother and faster than wotr. Better graphics, Vikings vs Saxons which is great, some really nice maps and there is now near full customisation.

I played Alpha for some hours, it was the same as WotR. Can't say about after release, but its probably still the same as the same applied for WotR.

Oh Christo! They will still need so much time to develop Gloria Victis, played Pre Alphas, they are doing good but it takes hell of a time. They still have their way to create a great game. :)

played it , returned to crpg semi-instantly , the only good thing for me is the archer gameplay , yes they smoothed the clunky wotr gameplay but still clunky for me :).
stamina is a good thing and you need a sort of managment of that. player skill is not very involved in melee , shields are overspammed by polearms with the fact that the shield is invulnerable.
throwing is very satisfieing , better than crpg must admit.
polearm is the ultimate weapon of destruction , just keep the attack loaded and bam you delete everything.
directional block : at least they tried to smooth it but crpg is better.
rounds are quick , arcadeish and you can't die and roll a cigarette cause it's very fast paced in term of map/round , not combat speed.

maybe it's my impressions but i prefer warband/crpg all the way , maybe kingdom core deliverance will bring us an alternative way to fight with medieval weapons but it's singleplayer sadly and we must wait chudz to finish his game so we can qq again happily on the forumz.

yes , the customization is very good but models are the same , you pay gold to buy the same model with some retexturing , anyway shield customization is awesome.

Yeah he makes a couple of these horrible remarks, and his analysis of why the game isn't good has almost nothing in common with mine. That's also why I said even totalbiscuit doesn't like it since apparently he likes WoTR even though he played WFAS (maybe not in multiplayer however).

It really depends on the genre. He tends to focus on things I focus on too, hence why I very rarely find myself disagreeing with his points about games I played. Something much more common with say Angry Joe or The Escapist.

Got a code for some helmets in WotV so if anyone owns this game and didn't get the same code from Paradox I'm willing to share
