We’re talking about sound. Imagine you are in the middle of a fight. The rasp of swords being unsheathed, the crunch of sand under the hooves of the horses, the screams and grunts of pain of soldiers – all that can make you feel in the thick of a battle, and that makes sound a very powerful tool for video games. Today we talk with Ugurcan Orcun, our Audio Director, who will offer some insights on how Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord approaches this area and what he is doing for the game.</p></br> [/parsehtml]Read more at: http://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/95

Amazing blog!
(Those battle-horns tho  )

 

[Ettenrocal]

Good blog, Ugurcan Orcun is doing a great job ! And long time we didn't see a new video.

 

[JuJu70]

Great! There are sounds in the game

What is this ugly leather armor doing here? What the **** is the point of this armor? The padding is enough but you add in more leather stripes? Waste of leather could have made it metal scale armor. -Insult snipped-. Fix this ugly armor and make it more realistic

I'm really hoping this isn't the lighting we're going to get at release. Looks very flat.
Otherwise, it does sound good. I like the horns.

 

[Tigerpelt]

Please recheck the armor for **** sake looks like some leather bondage gear very ****ing out of place for a medieval simulator game. PLEASE

Great to see some footage and I think clipping will always be inevitable so long as it isn't too egregious... but that axe handle is pretty noticeable. Is this old footage I wonder/hope? Loved the (Northern Empire?) flag's movement.

Sorry whose alt are you? I can't keep up.

Wait so in the youtube video whose army was fighting in the snow? It looks like battania but I can't tell cause everyone is wearing black.

 

[Ettenrocal]

Tigerpelt is right if its a leather scale armor should not be like that, not the first time i see weird kind of armors in screenshots/video and to be honest its a little bit worrying... Just google it and you'll see. The scales on this model seems to be "decoratives" and useless but scales are a really good armor technology, you can find why in many youtube videos.

Not every angry nerd with a new account on this forum needs to be an alt you know...

He is maybe angry but what he said is true.

I agree that his point about the armor being unrealistic is true.
I don't agree with the garbage attitude.

 

[Ettenrocal]

He is maybe angry but what he said is true.

 

[vicwiz007]

A video! Even if it is less than a minute... I wish this was more common. The only memorable blogs to me have been ones with many visuals (and I guess audio now).

Thank you Ugurcan, not bad.

 

[CaptainLee]

That Taleworld employees should be punched in the face? I tend to see that as juvenile. You agree, though?

Regardless of what your opinion is on the armor, please don't make threats at people or bypass the profanity filter. I have removed it from your messages, but if you want your feedback to come across in the future, it would be more effective to express it in a more friendly manner.



On the topic of the blog, however, it's great to see some gameplay again. It also seems like the developers have a tendency to favor Battania over the other factions.

Someone isin't doing their job and adding in BDSM leather gear in the game and getting paid for it. He should at the very least get a stern warning or fired for adding in armor that dosen't belong in a medieval game.

 

[Ettenrocal]

What he said on the armor is true... are you serious ?

It's not a medieval game. It's a fantasy game taking inspiration from the early medieval era.

The less than a minute video makes this blog so much better. Thx!

 

[Butterlord of Praven]

That war horns tho 
I can't wait for Lord of the Rings mods with the Horn of the Haradrim and Isengard
