War of the Roses
« on: 09-07-2012, 22:07:47 »
What´s WotR?

WotR is a 3rd person melee game that is set in the medieval world of the conflict with the same name, that racked the United Kingdom in the 15th century and escalated in a full-scale civil war.

The game offers you the chance to play either as Yorkist or Lancastrian, fighting for your side to gain the British throne.
All weapons and equipment are fully costumizable and players can build unique characters. Wanna be a knight, riding a fearfull destrier? Or would you rather be a grizzled man at arms or a bowman, showing those highborn knights their place with your halberd or longbow? Everything is possible!

Check out these early alpha videos for a good impression of the game:

Kinda like an updated M&B, though with lesser player numbers. I hope they´ll go to atleast 64 untill the release.

Interested?

And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Looks interesting, I saw the gameplay from PAX before but then totally forgot about it... Shame with the player count though...

Btw use my referral link, I offer you free internet cookies:  :P

Looks like fun. I'd buy it, if only for shits and giggles.

Ironically enough, I live in Lancaster.

Always found it a little funny when learning about the WotR

They said "possibly". Btw M&B has up to 200 players!

My .02, based on videos I saw:
-since it's based in UK, why not Death before Dishonour?
-the combat seems tad too robotic
-character creation/classes and squad system in style of BF seems anachronic.
-can't quite feel the depth and atmosphere of middleage. I will rather play some mod for M&B:Warband, be it 1257 AD or Brytenwalda.
