>>389886743

That would be hard to do when all it needs to do is be a graphically updated version of warband.

>>389886743
>>389886743
even if it was MnB:WB with better graphics, integrated diplomacy and bigger battles, it would still be good.
So dont worry. It will succeed

>>389886743
"The hype" is literally just wanting Warband on a modern engine, it can't not live up to the hype based on what we've already seen.

What hype? Realistic people know what to expect from all the footage they've released so far, whomever didn't learn to control their expectations after Metal Gear Solid V, Final Fantasy XV and The Witcher 3 is probably underage needs to suffer through this disappointment so they can learn to not expect miracles from commercial game development.

It needs more than that. The single player in vanilla warband is boring af. So they either need to create a great mp escape, or completely redo the single player experience, or both. Graphics are a small issue.

All it needs to do is look pretty and have good mod support.

uh, yeah, sure and bigger battles, and if you don't think that's not enough reason to be hyped then I don't know what to say, really.

>>389886743
All it has to do is have a slight graphic upgrade and better sieges and from what i saw it delivers on both. Everything beyond that is just icing on the cake.

No it isn't you ADHD riddled child. It could certainly be improved on but it's by no means bad.

Bought the game during summer sale, and I have only played vanilla so far. Why should I go mods?

Considering what we have had before, even if it's not all that, as long as the engine is as malleable and as moddable as the others, someone'll make it great.

Worst case scenario, it'll be Oblivion.

>>389887471
the MP is fantastic as it is, you download the module, put whatever armor, weapons, and modded in shit you want on it, and boom, you have a way better MP than most new games out there, you got your basic duel, siege, battle DM, TDM, and then mod MP like Crpg and that Viking Conquest one, Bear force and PW. its literally make your own fucking shit, and to top it all off you now can get your matchmaking.

MP is fine, Graphics are a larger issue because there are very few things to be worried about at this point in time.

>>389886931
That's not nearly enough. It needs to allow greater scale while running well enough to mod the shit out of it. They also have to work on the netcode and UI.
What I need from Bannerlord is it being a optimized and highly scalable 64bit version of a M&B game with excellent mulithreading support. All the features they announced so far, all that gameplay they cough up will be meaningless if the technical foundation is not good enough to polish the turd that those games are by default with the help of mods to a wholly new level.

Whichever one looks like pic related

They're fixin graphics, fixing sieges, fixing unit ai to work in formations, expanding on how to control your formations, expanding army sizes, expanding npc interaction, expanding gear and weapon customization, expanding on weapon types, entirely revamping sieges so that you build siege weapons a la total war, and adding destruction to castles/buildings for sieges, and adding single player story content for each faction for the people who complained about that

If all these improvements and up a disappointment I will lose all faith in gami ng.
