War of the Roses

[Overdriven]

Do you play football video games? Do you know how PES used to look like when you play it on D-pad. Compare it with FIFA played with analog stick. It's not just 4 directions, it's many more in between.

In those videos it's always same the same 4 directions like in earlier Elder Scrolls games.

Chivarly: Medieval Warfare has "360 degree" combat mechanics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIFI1oIAXAk

That vid was about hit detection...there are still only 4 basic attack directions

Fucking love the detail on the armor (when he zooms to cloth). The graphics and textures look fantastic.
I like that it has 4 directions and that it's practically the same combat system as M&B, but those melee animations are quite terrible D:

Same shit :\

I think it will be better balanced than cRPG. I quite like the concept of the combat system like Mount and Blade, and the perk system much like COD.

Holy mother of god.

That's beautiful, can't wait to see the final product from these guys.

What I heard from someone is that they work with the mount and blade people or that they got help from them (maybe they just copied the combat system^^) or whatever so it's no wonder they have the same fighting system.

It sounds/looks like Call of Duty as Melee though, nothing innovative, creative or persistent, unless you think persistent means unlocking achievements and abilities by playing (grinding) all the time.
No doubt it would attract more people to 'Melee games' though - which can be both good and bad in the long run.

I like games where I can effect the World I play in, such as Strategus. I don't like being a pawn in a story that's directed towards one self via the game but in reality everyone is playing through the exact same story. Nah, gimme a game where I can decide what I do and how my story should really be, tons of games preach that; forge your own story and so on but the only actual change is that your scripted path reaches a bunch of fork roads leaving you with more scripted paths to chose from, big wooptidoo.

More sandbox, more freedom, more players.

No doubt need to check this game out once it's available though

Well the big chance I see is in the perks.

A well-thought out Perk system enables the player to use extremely diversity in his builds, possibly even more than in the system of cRPG for example(Although I doubt their Perk system will be that polished).

What might be an Issue though is the thing with the weapons: What use has a Holo sight on a longsword?

"New" dev video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mnsdc0ZjyFs

[Sagar]

It doesn't look good till now. As I can see its arcade game. An something that bother me at the beginning of the clip is "No game ever done before" 

[Vexus]

Waiting for a video that shows actual combat hopefully with different weapon styles.

If you look at the third video you can see how crappy the animations are at the moment, well I atleast hope that's what they are meant to be, placeholders, if so then I imagine they will want to have the final animations before they release any combat videos. If that's how the combat animations are supposed to be then WTF lol.

By combat I mean vs another player or vs some npc.
