King Arthur 2

[Raied]

I searched on the forum but couldnt find any topic about King Arthur 2

Here is the latest developers diaries:

They are using a new engine, its look pretty cool, I didnt play the first one, but this one I may get it.
The game going to be released in Q1 2012

[BunnyPoopCereal]

My only hope is they change the combat. In the last game it wasn't that fun and there were too few unit sizes, thus battles we're not long at all

[lordoftheT]

Well if the second video is anything to go by it looks like they increased the unit sizes which is something that I at least was hoping they would do.

[PointOfViewGun]

Not sure about the giant bugs as villains. It could be better if they focus on the lost legion mixed with druids of the North. Will play it for sure though.

Here's a list of E3 previews about King Arthur II. I'll add new links as new articles get published. Also, if you find additional previews about the game that are not listed here, feel free to post the link here for everyone to read


GameSpot http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6318339...iew-first-look


"If the blaring music is any indication, E3 2011 is still going strong, and one of the many exciting new games on display is King Arthur II - The Role-Playing Wargame. Like its title suggests, this is both a sequel to the first King Arthur and a hybrid game that incorporates elements of both traditional turn-based wargames and story-driven role-playing games."


"The original King Arthur offered an intriguing combination of strategy and role-playing elements, and fans of that game will have a lot to look forward to in the sequel."


Cheat Code Central http://www.cheatcc.com/pc/rev/kingar...l#.ThFr2IKccsI


"The original game in the King Arthur series exceeded all expectations. With even more massive armies, flying creatures, a larger campaign map, and darker storyline, King Arthur II just may surpass its predecessor"


RTSguru http://www.rtsguru.com/game/301/feat...pressions.html


"The scope of the battle quest that I saw as we neared the end of our time at the King Arthur II booth at E3 was huge and, to be completely honest, a little intimidating. The size of these battles, and the accompanying visuals, might just knock your socks off."


Game Vortex http://www.gamevortex.com/events/sto...arthur-ii.html


" Does anyone remember when every other game announced was a strategy game and not a shooter? The days of the strategy game’s dominance have long passed, though I have a feeling the genre may see a resurrection and King Arthur II – The Role-Playing Wargame could be one of the games helping to lead the charge."


GameTrailers http://www.gametrailers.com/game/king-arthur-ii/14347


Two videos about King Arthur II gameplay at E3 – first video is about the Campaign Map and the second is about the Battles


P.S. Sorry about the many "uhmms" in the video, I was a little nervous

Linda shows King Arthur II for Gamereactor.


Gaming Lives http://www.gaminglives.com/2011/07/1...hur-ii-preview


"This is pure RPG war-gaming in a wonderful looking setting, blending mythology and fantasy to, seemingly, great effect."


GameDynamo http://www.gamedynamo.com/article/pr...laying_Wargame


"King Arthur II is far more visually engaging than its predecessor. The game will take advantage of a number of interface refinements, greater unit variety, more expansive environments, and deeper strategy employment backed by an interestingly-crafted narrative"


PC Gamer http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/07/17/ki...hur-2-preview/


"King Arthur II’s melding of roleplaying and strategy, combined with its liberal stance on historical fact, means it’s enticing me like few upcoming pure RPGS or RTS games are."

The game will be moddable. CA please takes note of that.

Indeed.

[Jakeler]

Moddable to what point? Anyone know? The game looks pretty sick didnt play the first one but I would want to mod it to basicly make it like medieval 3 xD

[VOP2288]

10 january is in two days :p

Is that when it comes out?

I've been wondering about the actual release date as Steam only says "January 2012"

[sinople]

it seems they have delayed the release because of the otpimization problems, I think they don't want to make a replay of SotS2...

[Chevalier IX]

Indeed it could usevsome optimising but my initial impression is of an incredibly promising experience both in the overworkd map and rpg elements as well as the much larger scale battles.i actually feel like the different formations make a difference to the outcome of the fight and the ability to unlock new unit tactics and options is a welcome addition that really serves to seperate the veteran legions from the fresh cuts

[andymate]

The only thing you can compare Tw and this game with are the battles. The campaign map in KA2 is more about questing and completing a storyline which is alot more involving then total war games.

The battles in KA2 are a mile ahead of the ones in KA1 and actually are pretty close to total war battles.

I must say i am really enjoying the prologue at the moment

[leviath]

The game is due to release for the 27th January announced Paradox today.

The devs asked people with poor performances in the game what are their configs and they bought computers with the same configs to be able to understand where the problem comes from and resolve it.
I have to say that it's an incredible involvement from the devs to polish the game and satisfy the customer.

[Eneru112]

Looks too linear

[sinople]

Looks too linear

Looks you hadn't look really well

[Chevalier IX]

The experience is certainly not linear with suprise quests random events and a totally different experience depnding on your battlefoeld and political choices and outcomes.the battles are miles ahead of the first ga,e and definitely worth a play.i wonder though.seeing as there is no routing or morale mechanism i have seen thus far...what does the willingness to fight rating impact gameplay wise...and why is there no routing mechanics instead requiring all out fights to the death...perhaps something under development..

[sinople]

So KA II is released, what do you guys think about it ?

[hellheaven1987]

Too busy burning hethens and infidels that I completely forget this game.
