Screenshots! Finally!

It looks good. Perhaps a bit out of my current modelling range. Modding will not be that easy anymore.

The engine seems to be the same on the first glance. Which is odd since I remember reading about the fact that they started scripting from scratch.

Some of the graphics remind me of AC. ;D

It basically looks similar with a big graphics upgrade... I'm not sure how much the graphics boost really adds, hopefully there will be a good amount of extra gameplay depth too. I wish game companies generally spent less time on prettiness and more on getting replay value in, though I guess that's not a good sales tactic.

Well that shows nothing at all really. The only thing of interest on that site is the two paragraphs on the news section that suggest the game will be set at the fall of the calradian empire instead of the usual timeline.

They said something about "giving more power to the modders",maybe that includes a model making program? ^_^

That guard on the right looks a lot like Ezio.

It is a sad time we live in,but I hope that Taleworlds will at least give us proper quests now.
Also,a lot of optimization.

It looks like a great idea. More so because no mod that I know even touched the topic of the Ancient Calradian empire...
I only hope that they won't make a new map again.

I still love the old one, the one if Warbands was awful.

I think I'm starting to see a pattern, I just don't want to wait until the 27th of September next year.

Hmm, I worry that my computer won't be able to handle it. :( That being said, a valid concern since Warband is a struggle and needs to run in DirectX7 to be playable.

Looking kind of nice though, which is good. :)

On the map issue, I too didn't really like Warband's at first, but it grew on me. The colours of each kingdom however, did not. :P Nords will always be yellow to me, and the Vaegirs green. God, who though cream was a good colour for them when set against the snow!? You can barely see them!

I got a mod which allowed you to change all of their colours so I changed them to their original colours. Floris Mod Pack has it as well.

Vaegirs: their whole NATION is an ambush waiting to happen.  :P

Masters of camouflage.
You'll never see them coming. Hell, you even won't see their cities being there.

*hits head against a wall* Sir we found their town.

This new blog has some very promising promises. It's worth reading, I promise.

So we don't have to wait until the 27th of September. I think they might release it then.

I just saw, in one of the screenshots in the 3rd blog it shows that horses don't come with armour but they you can buy amour and attach it to the horse. Also it seems that there will be another armour slot added for the player as well.

I saw it too.
And that actually makes a lot of sense.

The other slot seems to be a scarf/pauldron slot.

Another Blog!! (http://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/5) This one's about sieges. Looks like siege towers look more siege towerish and you can now climb ladders like it's a ladder, not a ramp.
Title: Re: Mount & Blade Bannerlord - Screenshots!
Post by: Jubal on January 26, 2014, 05:38:03 PM
The new siege towers look neat. With luck they'll be less susceptible to side-fire, which was the biggest annoyance in all M&B/Warband sieges.

Still, I'm not sure about those ladders. How will they work?
I guess we won't be able to push them off. And what happens when you attack someone who's climbing the ladders?

Seems very messed up when you start thinking about the mechanics...

Maybe, but I trust Taleworlds to balance it nicely in the end. We'll just have to wait and see. :)
