"During our interview with Co-Founder and Lead Designer of TaleWorlds Entertainment, Armagan Yavuz, he said Bannerlord is being worked on precisely for consoles. With Bannerlord, quite a lot things will change for Mount & Blade. TaleWorlds published some developer diaries for Bannerlord and it can be seen that the whole graphic engine is changed. Probably they are working on Bannerlord more to make it huge on consoles.

Unfortunately, Yavuz told nothing more than this and preffered to zip his mouth to anything related to Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord. It is still a thing, isn't it? Your beloved medieval RPG's sequel is approaching full in glory!"

Not sure how trustworthy the source is, but do you think this will be bad news for M&B on PC? Smaller maps, worse controls, less modding support etc

[IR_Kuoin]

I think the PC version no matter will stay like the original. Seeing how popular modding and extra cash they can make on modding, like Brytwalda and Mount N Musket  turning into their own standalone expansions.

And for maps and controls concerned I think it will be just as good as Warband.

Who reads those sub forums anyway?

As our Donkeys said during Kickstarter campaign, there is no obstacle to map Warband melee fighting controls to typical modern gamepad. Ranged will suffer of course, but melee should be fine. That aside, I bet they won't do that but go other way, similar to what Warhorse are doing with Kingdom Come. Because it is easier for average consumer to learn those kind of controls...

I'd say that is a gross underestimation of how the superior precision of a mouse affects both movement and combat in Warband-like games.

As long as they stick to their 4 directions, it might work with a gamepad and tuned down combat speed though.
M:BG with gamepad seems much more difficult to realize.

It will be their loss if they attempt to dumb down controls to facilitate console gameplay. I highly doubt they would be willing to take that risk with PC players. In that case, I mean if they don't make that mistake, no matter how you may map all keys on a console controller, console players will always be inferior due to the limitations of a controller. Mouse+directional keys is the best formula to work in a game like this.

Actually using a ps3 controller on Warband works fine, my brother tried playing a HA with a controller, was pretty decent. But ofc. mouse n' keyboard will always be superior.

Don't be ashamed, I played few rounds as HA too, no need to bring the "my brother" thing

He actually made a video about it but he took it down

Don't see how precision of analog controllers is an issue for 4-directional combat system like Warband.

Also if we are talking about cRPG, you did ruin it with turn rate nerf. You can argue that since turn rate nerf there is greater need for precision, but how can we be precise if we don't know the limits? Years have passed and I still have no clue where are the turn rate limits of every weapon I've used since turn rate nerf. It is like playing blindfolded.
