looks kinda like warband dont ya think?

[Overdriven]

Looks nice. Though very early development I guess. Not sure how long it'll be till we see this on the shelves.

Trailer says sometime 2012. My bet is probably christmas.

Huge Persistence System - create your own character and rise through the ranks from lowly serf to a noble knight in the finest armor. Addictive progression system with unlockables, leveling and detailed statistics.

Meh.

[Overdriven]

I'm sure you get some kind of choice Mala. There will be a buckler in there somewhere and you can still wear rags 

[Christo]

Interesting.

[Casimir]

looks v interesting, will keep an eye out for that.

[jspook]

These are the guys that made Lead and Gold.  And that game wasnt very good.

I wouldnt hold my breath for this one

[Casimir]

are they not just the publisher?

[Christo]

Paradox? Yeah they are only publishers here.

The dev is Fatshark, or who the hell. Never ever heard of them

[Meow]

read fatshark are the magicka guys.

so far the feature list sounds like someone wants to rip off crpg to make a quick buck

more mainstream i guess.
also as i don't think paradox would throw two identical products on the market i'd say it's going into a more arcade style direction than m&b, wouldn't be surprised if it is also coming out for consoles.

sadly the screens so far are just from the rendered movie trailer they showed on the gamescom and the concept art "ingame screenshot" is highly photoshopped so i guess we'll have to wait for a while to get actual gamefootage.

dont bother with any feature or hype til I see in-game high-rez footage~

Fatshark is a good company. Magicka is a great 2d rpg sold a lot on steam and fun game. Hope they will do well on this.

Well the difference is Magicka is a different sort of game than what they are making here.

... described it as being based on an “accessible melee combat system”, and implied that it was going to be very similar to Mount & Blade, if slightly more arcadey.

All in all, it will be your generic FPS shooter, just with swords.
