Instead of stringing you along and leaving it as a surprise, we thought we would take a different approach this year by being upfront with you about what we will be presenting in Cologne.</p></br> [/parsehtml]Read more at: http://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/73

why not make a demo/beta?

This would be nice, not to be confused with the cancer known as early access.

I can help with the translation in spanish:

Why wouldn't you just post this over at the Spanish speaking board?

 

[Elgastre]

it's coming 

 

[NPC99]

Great screenshots - I love the water in the world map. Best wishes for Gamescon. I hope the journalists can upload their videos earlier than last year.

I expect an early stage play through is better for media feedback - journalists might object if their character suffered perma-death (probably a mid or end game feature).

TW must have replaced most of their place holder town/village scenes with unique ones to give people open access. 

wrong again - only 2 town scenes per faction will be accessible per Armagan.

I would definitely pay $60 for a beta , better than the **** that is coming these days, they ruined 3 kingdoms total war, Bannerlords is all I have left 

 

[Revverie]

Someone please test the tournaments and see if they change between factions drasticly, if you can still dedicate these to lady's or use them to gain respect with a lord.

 

[ArnulfFloyd]

Few modern games were good and loved, Bannerlord will be among them and on my wishlist also I want to be M&B pro player until BL comes out

A beta is supposed to be free - you are missing the mark entirely A $60 beta would just be early access.

Will you show us naval stuff?

Nice screenshot.

It is a quite old one.
The Sturgian horsemen dont even use a Sturgian banner but a placeholder one.

What are you talking about? Yet again you stole my time, back to ignore list. It's ok not to respond everything.

 

[ArnulfFloyd]

60$ early access sounds too much for me, full release will almost 100$, but I want a boxed version

 

[zabfalat]

The picture reminded me that each clan's fiefs have their clans banner on it. And yes, that reflection looks beautiful.
I also have some requests:

- Rocks:

They are about as effective as a lump of frozen butter but don’t be fooled into thinking they are totally harmless!

Please test what they can do!

- Test out daggers, if they are actually useful.

- Stun:

For instance, if your shield gets hit on the left side by a weapon or an arrow, both the shield and arm will absorb the impact and bounce back on that side. The system takes into consideration the force of the impact, meaning that the visual feedback from a cleaner strike or a heavier weapon will be more prominent.

隐藏

Please test out if the good old "moving back from bandits alone, because my party died, while leading them in a line and slashing them with my sword one by one because they are too stupid to surround me" tactic still works, or this mechanic presented above prevent it.

Also, please

From what you've showcased so far, we've only seen the object suffer to a single impact. I would like to see how the engine reacts to multiple variables at once. Like, what if the shield gets bashed from the right and the left, while simultaneously taking arrows?

pay attention to this at the same time.

30$ for early access and 60$ for full anything above it is too much for a game imo

If the game costs 100 dollars there better be something good in the box such as a sword or helmet modeled from ingame.

What are you talking about? The guy said nothing to offend you; he only commented on the screenshot.

Absolutely! I'd hate it if it stayed the same. I remember asking about this very issue last year, but sadly I couldn't get an answer. What I also find quite annoying is being able to defeat 30 bandits alone by simply riding in circles around them on horseback and picking the right target, because the AI is incapable of attacking at the right time and with the right attack. Of course, due to their javelins or bows, this doesn't work all the time, however it has worked for me in most situations.

lol. On point as usual.

 

[Wenceslas]

Sounds like they have almost finished Bannerlord, doesn't it?

I mean, otherwise, presenting a full access demo version at the Gamescom would be a bold move.

Dont get your hopes high

 

[Suleimanus]

That dock next to Ostican does look... interesting. Although I think that it would be cool, I would not be disappointed if naval battles were not added, as Calradia is fine without them, but the addition of all these internal seas and lakes does make me wonder...

All of the individual demos (you could call them pre-made savegames I guess) are in the "early-game phase", so the fact that there is a freely played demo where the time limit is 30 minutes and the only part of the game you get to play is the early game; they might not be close to finishing at all, really. It's relatively easy to control what people have access to if you know the constraints the player will be under. The reality is that they have been technically close to finishing for years now by their own admission and we still have no idea. I wouldn't recommend getting your hopes up.

They've said there won't be sea combat in Bannerlord, at least not in the main release.

 

[ArnulfFloyd]

What's happened if game will be released this year because 10 years has passed since release of original M&B but in 2020 BL comes out
