60 second M&B commercial

[hibbs02]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=qWw4-JQOD88

Uses 0.808 version with full graphics options including DX9 shaders.  Commercial uses Talek's latest skyboxes. . .and all sorts of mods included with Band of Warriors mod.  D'oh!  You'll also clearly notice the battle sizer mod! 

I know there are a lot of fighting videos.  But you can't appreciate the genius of M&B by just watching it, you have to play.  Thus this commercial is designed to incite interest and excitement in M&B by the general game playing public.

One of the songs used in this trailer is (last third of trailer):
Kings and Kingdoms - Dragons
by Justin R. Durban
Edgen Animations

-- From the Kings & Kingdoms Music Mod

If AFTER watching the video on Youtube, you decide you need the super high quality version to drool over the 0.808 graphics you can do a 22MB download and get it:

Yes, I know some people don't like Quicktime.  But if you watch many videos you really need the Media Player Classic which can play anything if you have the codecs including Real Player and Quicktime:

Here's a link to the free download of Media Player Classic with the Quicktime alternative codec:

Nice one!

Might pull in some new members.

 

[leprechaun]

Short but sweet. My one main... ehm... disagreement... is Calraydia. AAAAARGH! Calrahdia sounds soooo much better!

Apart from that, very nice indeed.

 

[buglord]

Sweet! 

 

[Corinthian Hoplite]

Perhaps it should be a bit longer, I don't know, I was starting to enjoy when it ended

 

[hibbs02]

That's the point!  Leave 'em wanting more so they come get the demo. 

Yeah, sorry about the Calradia pronunciation, I knew I'd get ribbed over that.  Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation I think.

 

[DasFlo]

People will go to the HP, get .751 and be all  ......

Maybe should have waited for .80x to become stable and officially released. Still damn cool video, though

 

[Corinthian Hoplite]

Yes, the HP should have a link to the newest version with a warning like this: "Be prepared to have a lot more fun with this version. Oh, it's a bit buggy at the moment too."

 

[Poil]

Um, it looks like the lance is clipping through the camera when it shows a lancing knight from second person view.

 

[Oskatat]

very sweet.

 

[Buenor]

Yeah, It is noce...I also noticed a few other videos like sneaking into towns...

Best trailer. Awesum.

 

[Orion]

I still like my 2 combat vids...

Mount&Blade Combat 1
-Starts a bit slow at the beginning, but it gets better... and the names in the credits are the names of my characters.

Mount&Blade Combat 2
-Much better than the first one, I think, seeing as how it's faster paced and has more varried combat in it.

 

[Poil]

Not really too great, backpaddling does NOT look good on video.

</shameless self-promotion> 
Also, I don't think killing people by shooting their toes is something to show to the general public; such things don't generally create a very good impression in potential players.

Yeah, way to go Orion. Scaring away PERFECT customers!

About the video by hibbs...best scene in that video was when the cavalry was charging through the bushes. That was FREAKIN AWESOME!!!

 

[Cymro]

I've never seen M&B with those graphics settings

Mainly because it doesn't handle video memory as well as games such as F.E.A.R. And Far Cry

 

[Oskatat]

i watched a few vids there today, and the trailer could be enlarged to contain the archer picking off enemies and the lance charge, since those are standard things people understand. the rest needs to be enticing and exciting, but not revealing, it's supposed to make people curious, not show it all

I especialy like the mass of mounted (cavelry? not native english) fighters. graphics are awesome, and the river scene i saw (somewhere). great

 

[Poil]

Cavalry, it has dumb spelling.

 

[Oskatat]

anyway, that 59 sec trailer gave a lot of good points about the game without giving away how you actualy play it, which is usualy the best part to find out
