All in game graphics.

Looks very nice, just need more details.

Cool idea for a game but that clearly isn't the case for that trailer.

Yea, that trailer gave nothing away in terms of gameplay...

Could be a RTS... Who knows! lol

A team-based multiplayer melee combat experience, War of The Roses sees players and their band of knights going toe-to-toe with their opponents using authentic and visceral weapons of the time period including broad swords, long bows and battle-axes.

Built on a stunning graphics engine which vividly portrays the fighting from an up-close-and-personal third-person perspective, War of the Roses features both online multiplayer and a single-player campaign. Players will get the chance to lead their warrior through a rich progression system, gaining upgrades and unlocking new content on their path from filthy peasant to unstoppable armored killing machine.

Awesome

however it's paradox they release bugger titles

Sin_Chase · 17 Aug 2011 at 18:42

All I know is that PvK (Pirates Versus Knights) was ultimate LOLS and a similar style of gameplay in this would be welcomed

mushroomsoup · 18 Aug 2011 at 19:55

Not sure if this is as deep as mount & blade, but looks alright from that trailer, I suppose.

Ex Battlefield producer Gordon Van Dyke is the lead producer on this, so should be interesting.

The plot thickens.

Looks very interesting.

There are a lot of gameplay videos on YouTube from the paradox event in April.

Medeival Battlefield you say? I can here the cries now...

"Hark! You crook you! For thou art encamped upon yonder hillock!"

"All thine bastion are belongeth to us!"

Neil79 · 27 Sep 2012 at 02:13

Anyone doing a 4 pack?

I believeth thou art employing incantations to improve thine efforts, verily I doth hiteth Ye, yet thou takest no damage!

Thou art a rogue sire!

looks good. I like battlefield, I like the medieval period. What could go wrong?

Except many things...

Pestilence · 27 Sep 2012 at 10:47

Pre-ordered and been playing the Beta. It's simple, but it's a blast. Feels weirdly schlocky having a serious Medieval battle sim incorporate a UT-style voiceover going "HEADSHOT!" when you nail an opponent in the face with an arrow.

Me likey.

I'll have to youtube this later, interesting to see what the online combat is like as really interested in this.

McGray · 27 Sep 2012 at 12:28

Definitely interested in this but have my doubts it will be worth £25.
