Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

[OzyTheSage]

I'm probably not going to bother calling this Bannerlord. The only reason I refer to M&B: Warband as Warband is because... well... M&B is already a game that is not M&B: Warband. So, this shall just simply be M&B2... simple.

Names aside, I'm more interested to see what they've done with the combat... (Also if there's a chance for a co-op option, but combat first.)

ye just M&B 2

[wayyyyyne]

All this video still lacks is some fitting music. Like requiem for a dream or In the end from linkin park.

IF the game does turn out to be as bad as War of the Roses, i'll probably squat on a cucumber.

Dunno if someone already posted it, but look at this interview about M&B II:

D: You have done a great job improving the combat system from M&B WB. Between the horizontal strokes of M&B and animations more elaborate WB - in which you added the possibility of kicking - there is an abyss. How are you going to do with M&B2? It will be simple evolution, or plan to totally revolutionize the system of strikes and blocks?
R: We are re-doing everything again, we are not using anything from the old games. As for the game mechanics, I know for sure we are going to work on the parry system. We implemented it into the later versions of Warband. We are also rewriting all the animations for blocking, for example. Blocking was nice, but you know, was a little “blocky”, back then. There are some attacks that you can’t just stop with an upper block, you have to divert it, we are taking care of stuff like that. It’s going to be an evolution, as you said, not a revolution. The combat system is going to be essentially the same, but it’s going to be improved. A lot. We changed programming language and everything…

I'm excited.

Silly people complaining about Taleworlds not wasting their money on a more expensive teaser. This is not a Mass Effect or CoD game guys and TW is not EA, what did you expect ? I'm just glad it finally happened.

More expensive? Implying that they paid the current one.

D: speaking of phisics, how will the players interact with the environments in M&B2?
R: It’s still very early to talk, but we would like the game environment to be interactive as much as possible. The ideal would be to have the player pick-up, destroy and throw stuff. We are rebuilding, or should I say building, a physics engine from scratches.

So, no more heirlooming rocks then? You just pick them off the ground? =p

D: 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?
R: at this stage a multiplayer, competitive or cooperative looks still pretty difficult to make.

Bawwwww =<

Also, animations aren't hardcoded anymore. wooooooooooooooooo

Wait so there doesn't seem to be a coop for m&b2?

Well, they obviously made it themselves, but they still pay the guy who made it a salary. Sure, it only took 10 minutes, so a very small part of his salary, but still a part.

Because they couldnt just offer someone in the community a place in credits for making a short but proper trailer.
