For Honor

New game from ubisoft that looks half decent. It's not severance, but at least they've put some thought into combat.

yeah looks interesting, but being developed by Ubisoft my expectations are extremely low.

Personally i have high hopes for a game called "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" instead.

This has got to be the most realistic looking thing ive ever seen and the melee combat looks very complex, the armor the weapons the clothing everything i see from this game looks abosolutely amazing. i just hope the gameplay will be good and the rest in the game will be the cherry on top.

then theres also a game called Deep Down, but it might only be for PS4 and not coming to PC.

this video is only for showing some combat and level design, but the armor and weapons look really good.

I think it's by the Montreal team which apparently are one of the better Ubisoft dev teams. But yeah I have my doubts too.

I've been following "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" for a while now and I definitely agree that it looks awesome. This clip shows the most recent build with some great gameplay in it.

It's a shame they're only giving a small presentation because this game deserves much more attention.
Even though I do like the authenticity of it, I do hope it will support modding so that we can have a LOTR spin off with orks and balck riders and possibly a more gruesome combat approach.

I remember seeing that deep down clip a little while ago and liking it. However on closer inspection the combat looks a bit simplistic and it's mostly likely not coming to pc.

Anyway a few things to look forward to, yet it still boggles my mind as to why no one is making a severance style game. We have major triple a titles coming out in the very same genre yet no one wants to implement a more robust and rewarding combat system. Maybe in a few years time when everyone is sick of thrust, parry, role and slash (rinse and repeat) in Dark souls 4 there will be an opportunity for a more complicated combat system...
