Shit man you give WoW too much credit.
Weapons don't look the slightest bit down-to-earth like that, its a fucking retarded ass circus with redundant spikes and rivets and spikes on the edges of blades. Also more spikes on the parry handle in case your armor doesn't have enough spiky bits on it.

>>340857086
Not really, samurai armor doesn't cover you completely and katanas are forged in a different way, which makes them easier to break.
To be fair out of the three, Knights are the best.
Not only because of steel quality, but also because of overall armor, weapon skills. Vikings are just glorified raiders and they don't have plate armor. Samurai literally use pig iron swords that suck dick compared to anything european, also paper armor.
>>340857282
Yo aint hearing me. If you have a samurai a katana made of the same quality steel and armour made of comprable metals as a knight from.. lets say 12th century europe it would be the same thing, both men in their tin suits have the same level of training killing shit.

Not sure what that is but Overwatch is still the current game that triggers /v/. That looks pretty though, so I'm interested in playing it. But if it's a PC game it's probably too new for my PC to run.
>>340857428
Quality hasn't anything to do with it. The way katanas are forged makes them exceptionally stiff compared to european swords that are much more flexible. This makes them inherently less durable, they wouldn't stand a chance against european weapons and armor.
If you change the way katanas are made they are not katanas anymore.

who gives a shit? You could give a trained samurai a type XVIIIb longsword and he'd use it the same way regardless of its shape.

>>340857267

It's as much strategy as it is fighting. If you know it's going to be a 2v1, bottleneck them both in front of you in a tunnel with a wall at your back. You can swing without fear, but the enemy will have to be careful to avoid hitting each other.

>>340858059
You mean to compare their skills as warriors? Yeah in that case they aren't really that different, soliders are soldiers.
Maybe the japanese have a slight advantage because their military philosophy is fucking crazy and they are ready to die at any moment.
>>340856059
In actual war?
Samurai were originally horse archers, then fought alot with halberds and were really big into GUNS they bought and reproduced from Portugal.
A samurai unit in any game would be more historically accurate if depicted with a matchlock gun rather than a katana. So yes they did have a chance against knights, but just one chance.
>>340858059
Not really, knights would have experience fighting well-armored men and their fighting style'd evolved to deal with it for a long-ass fucking time(a shitton of grappling).
Yeah, a katana is pretty amazing given the shit tier materials they had on hand, and the samurais may be better trained for dealing with unarmored foes but you can't just give them the same equipment and expect them to stand a fighting chance. They didn't have decent armor, and because of that they didn't have shit to deal with it. Then you also have the size difference, even if you gave them the same training knights would be fucking huge compared to the japs and that's a pretty damn big advantage when it comes to grappling.
It don't matter how you slice it, samurai would lose.
>>340858429
What's your point? All the games listed play better TES/Dark Messiah/etc, and play very well without lock-- even if you consider that a detriment. Throw monster hunter in there too.
M&B is a bit of both (I play it 3PV but my flatmate swears by FPV). Also DMC, BB, MH, etc all play better than Warband/NW even if you consider M&B a FPV game.
>>340858760
>It don't matter how you slice it, samurai would lose.
You cheeky fucker you
>>340854089
Yeah, because Samurai lasted for 500 years out of pure fucking luck. It's not like their armor, weapons and tactics were actually decent. Nope, European knights were the only fuckers with a clue.
>>340858760
As a fair test id probably put them in something similar to a footmans armour. Aketon and sequential plate. that leaves enough for both armour tactics from typical knight training and samurai combat training that was typically focused on clean striking points on unarmoured areas. Keep in mind that there WAS full steel armour in japan are some points and even the thick paper armour the peasants used could stop a typical katana if you're not careful. You also have to keep in mind that samurai often learned unarmed fighting techniques, ever seen a little judo man throw someone easily much larger then them.

Nothing really to downgrade. The alpha looked nothing like the OP, neither did the E3 and PAX demos last year.
>>340859195
>Keep in mind that there WAS full steel armour in japan
Listen, it's pointless talking about absolutes. The proliferation of full plate in Japan and in Europe back then is incomparable, as were the effects on their way of fighting.
>even the thick paper armour the peasants used could stop a typical katana if you're not careful
Anything thick like a padded jack will easily stop a blade if you try to chop with it. That doesn't mean you can compare a fucking jack with full plate. In a jack you'd still be fairly easily cut especially with any curved blade(see:katanas), or stabbed by any weapon since even arrows won't have any trouble piercing it. It also doesn't deflect jack shit.
>ever seen a little judo man throw someone easily much larger then them
I've actually dabbled in judo myself.
Grappling based martial arts rely a lot more on brute strength than striking based ones. You should know how important weight classes are in something like boxing, it's even more so in anything with grappling. And I'd like to get back to my original point here, unarmed techniques were a lot more integrated into general swordsmanship for knights because of their armor. Yes, the japanese had some impressive unarmed martial arts, but they were never incorporated into armed combat to the same extent because there was no need to with their lack of decent armor. Lacking armor naturally puts a lot more focus on the weapon itself since it retains its effectiveness.

Probably still trying to figure out what each player class can actually do. The less content overload there is, the more detail that has to be put into each individual thing. 3 player classes and three weapons means each needs a lot of work comparatively.
I wonder if this is purely a game about two handed weapons only or will it be getting shields as an option?
>>340853834

>>340862312
Yep, Mordhau is what I'm rooting for. Hope it'll be a better Chivalry.. the team seems to have the right idea.
>>340863457
It certainly seems that way. With enough skill, you can see one player parrying and slashing at three others at once. Being able to hold your own in 3v1 is very impressive.

>>340863338
I think the viking is supposed to use a shield and axe combo.
The samurai has his sword, a kill streak that poisons the blade and poisoned shurikens.
The knight has the sword, a self heal(can't remember if that was a kill streak or just a second ability) , passive blocks and a rain of arrows kill streak.

>>340864127
Well given the fact that we have medieval knights fighting samurais and vikings i'd say they've thrown realism out the window a long time ago. Gunpowder has been around since the 13th century in europe so that would be the least crazy part.
>>340864281
There really aren't classes, at least not in the alpha, but you get to pick different styles of pauldrons, shins, cape and helmets with emblems but that was purely cosmetic. I heard they'll go full MGS5 and allow you to customize every part of your weapon and armor.
>>340864753

at least they have mordschlag, but I'm thinking the dev didn't study german longsword enough. still, his heart was clearly in the right place, maybe, having knights, vikings and samurai dook it out with swords and axes is kinda dumb to me when the main weapon of all three would have been spears/halberds on the field.

>>340865329
The real meme here is thinking Western knights are automatically superior because of some misplaced sense of western nationalism.
>>340865304
?
not that guy but that literally is how it happened
japan was a culturally and geographically isolated island for hundreds of years and the proliferation of samurai occurred in this time period, sure there are very rare accounts of samurai going off to fight in wars overseas but those are few and far between and Nippon itself was still protected by seas so any potential innovation didn't follow them back.
As soon as trade opened back up samurai vanished because by this point mass firearms, tactics and better steel armour were a thing which the samurai had no answer for.
>>340865017
>I'd very much like to be the Immovable Object.
The alpha was pretty much the opposite of that. In order to block you had to lock on to your opponent and use the left stick to block into the direction of your enemies swings. While the knight got a passive block that automatically blocks in the last direction that you set(up, left or right) the samurai has to block manually by QTE style tilting the stick. To balance that out the samurais light attacks are insanely fast so if he just spams light attack while spinning the left stick blocking his attack becomes pure fucking luck.

not either of you two plods but knights, or at least, a lot of german and italian sword treatises go into cqc and wrestling, when it came to having two dude in armor go at it, that was a way to surmount the opponent, to topple him, mount him and thrust your rondel into the gaps in his armor
>>340856662

or is this game a assassins creed spinoff and you use an animus, because that's what that fucking HUD looks like
>>340866015
That's actually already in the game. At least in the alpha it worked on an honor system. You'd taunt an opponent and if he taunts back the duel was set and neither your nor his side would interfere.
>>340866274
Oh shit really.
>muh dick
Game of the century confirmed
>>340865530
Yet, many Japanese armors adapted western ideas after exposure to the west. It's really telling of what kind of weeb you are that you immediately project that assumption onto me when all I say is "knights aren't slow as molasses, that's actually a myth".
I won't say you're all wrong though, because I do believe that knights > samurai, but a battle one on one, in armor probably wouldn't be fought with swords and if it was the samurai would be completely outmatched, that's not misplaced western nationalism, that's a fact.
>>340866274
Is there a barrier preventing teammates from getting involved or do you have to rely on other people's sense of fair play?
>>340866378
One theory is that the game will be ready 2017.
>>340866378
Or you could just do this in a better game, like Chivalry, M&B, or possibly soon Mordhau.
>>340866529
I'd play Chivalry if I wasn't a Sony Pony. I will play For Honor and Mordhau assuming they release on PS4. Not the same guy, by the way.
>>340866529
>Chivalry
Full of people abusing the game engine. No knightly duels either.
>M&B
See above
>Mordhau
Going to get that anyway
>tfw we are living in the age of knight vidya
>>340866475
The latter but by the second day nobody would 2vs1 anymore. It actually went so far that you'd have teammates either standing back or looking for someone else to fight if they saw a duel taking place.
If Ubishit are actually stupid enough to not implement a ranked 1vs1 duel mode they don't deserve a single fucking cent.
>>340853834
At first it was a case of neo-/v/ no fun allowed I want this to fail garbage posting
But if threads like this are going to start showing up then that's probably why. I like the game and this post is pure fucking bait for those who don't.
>>340866597
Shit, you people actually still exist? Yeah I guess this will be your only option..
>>340866776
Some of us. There's not even a rational reason for my allegiance, I just grew up with consoles and don't wish to change.
I'm actually excited for For Honor. Though it doesn't makes sense why'd they pick two European factions and an Eastern faction. Why not pick kebab instead of Vikings?
>>340866726
>Full of people abusing the game engine.
True, but only because the devs won't fix problems. That's why my hopes are on Mordhau.
>No knightly duels either.
Very much untrue. Plenty of moments where people take the time to duel, or the last two standing let each other heal up and duel. There's also a duel mode, and practically everyone takes the time to bow.
>>340853834
does not have waifus.
>>340863457
Yeah, I'm mostly hopeful that they'll put focus on skillfully using the mechanics for what they were meant for, not abusing them for cheap hits.
Groundsniffers were the absolute pinnacle of faggotry in Chivalry
>>340866957
Never got any knightly duels when I played. Someone would always interrupt it and ruin it
>>340866864
Man, just get a PC and hook up a PS controller. You're missing out on way too much good stuff.
>>340865847
>>340859784
And all the "DEUS VULT XD" roleplayers will go knights.
>>340865896
I thought that was due to disguising peasant diseases like smallpox. Also having learned how divide and conquer from grandpa church.
>>340866971
Indeed. But the Mordhau devs seem a lot more passionate about it, and there's no mouse dragging, so that already eliminates a lot of the problems Chivalry had.
>>340867040
Hmm, well that's not the experience I had. But from what it sounds, the duelling in For Honor is also on an honour system, so it'll probably be the same as in Chiv.

I don't have friends; the post
To all the people shitting it up saying it only works 1v1, not true. You can fight offsided fights but you have to be smart about it and use the mechanics intended for it.
When locking onto one person blocking an attack from another opponent doesn't require you to adjust for their stance just what side of your body they are on. This makes it much easier to block a second attacker and by extension easier to parry a second attacker...if you git gud. After a parry your attacks can't be cancelled, can still be blocked, but not cancelled. So if you throw a heavy sweeping attack you can stagger the ppl coming at you and slip away.
Beyond that don't be an idiot and get tunnel vision in a fight or pick where to fight them, narrow stair or bridge. Or throw one of them into a trap of which there are many, lever activated spike crushers, spikes on walls, trapdoors in the floor, cliffs.
>>340862789
So its basically a Chivalry successor? About damn time. Looks good
>>340867442
>>340867280
Nah, smallpox only killed native tribes in far off places. Those tribes weren't farming and therefore breeding on the same scale, so they never passed around diseases like we did, making their immune systems fragile.
>>340867540
This. Positioning and tactical thinking are just as important as skilled swordplay.
>>340858151
The character can't hit you if it can't get close to you inbetween your attacks. This is common sense.
>>340867412
>ubisoft
The video makes that seem irrelevant.

Seems fun.
>>340867656
People just want to one-man army killstreak play of the game call in a pav.
If you aren't a total ass clown, the game gives you options to survive uneven fights it just doesn't spoon feed it to you. Do people really want it to be like Chiv...two opponents LOOKS LIKE I GOTTA SPIN TWICE AS HARD!!!!
>>340867476
That would be good too. I'm just saying if they had to pick only 3 I would've picked kebab over the vikings
>>340867442
No one likes to play as the nigger equivalent of Ancient Europe.
>>340867885
Fingers crosses for DLC faction
>>340867831
The spinning (and the fact that hits would register all along an attack arc, making the retarded backward hits possible) was the biggest flaw with Chivalry, an opinion shared by the Chivalry community at large.
This is why people are excited for Mordhau, which seems like it's Chivalry, but fixed.
>>340867315
Knights =bros
Vikings=edgelords
Samurais=weaboos
>>340867707
There were no explosions in medieval times.
>>340865304
Literally what happened. Educate yourself weeb.
>>340867831
At the end of a lost Defense game, you even get the chance to fight to the end. It can be down to you and two or more enemies. And it's perfectly possible to take them down through quick thinking and cunning use of your surroundings. People who say otherwise are just running until they get backed into a corner and slaughtered.
>>340867540
also you have to realize that as long as you are keeping 2 enemies busy you are assisting your team.
>>340856721
oh yeah man cgi sure represents the game and if they do cool cgi stuff then that means the game will be good!
>>340867992
The real deathblow was that the devs embraced bugs as "deep" gameplay rather than stamping them out
>>340867759
Chivalry, Mordhau, Mount and Blade..
>>340868073
This is a good mindset. If you can keep two or three enemies tied up for five minutes, you have more than done your part for your team.
>>340866884

Since when has a cash in of what's popular been good? Some faggot in ubi higher ranks has gone, "oh shit game of thrones is popular, lets make a game about knights with swords and chopping people up."
"Also my seven year old step son keeps on telling me about memes of vikings and ninjas and samurai and knights fighting. Lets put some of those guys in there as well. Now how do we make it appeal to our gaymer audience? Big fucking cgi trailer go!"
Only thing surprising about this game is that it's not open world.

That's very late medieval, if at all. And unless a cannon misfired while inside that battering ram, I don't see your point.
>>340868707

>>340868514
Nobody whos not working for Ubisoft in some way has played more than a very bare bones mp alpha(knight, samurai, 1 weapon each and 4 maps). In that state i'd say 15 bucks at most but they said there'll be a full singleplayer campaign in addition to more mp modes, maps, the viking class and many other features. Combat is fun but it's impossible to judge from the alpha alone.
>>340868707
There is nothing sophisticated in a wall of shields that can be easily broken by artillery fire.
>>340868707
>>spartans

Apart from being a fascist warrior cult who practised eugenics and slavery.
>>340857489
Because you had to sign an NDA and your account info was plastered all over the screen all the time.

>>340868838
Full plate armor is late medieval too. I'm not saying I know what the fuck happened to that ram, I'm just saying they had gunpowder at the time so it's not impossible for something to explode, one way or the other.
>>340868967

Okay so balance discarded because it's a multiplayer game, if you could have one historical fighting group to add to this, what would you choose?
I think a Roman legion would be cool, especially if you could actually play with their tactics.
>>340853834

>>340869116
They did not have a way to make shit explode like that. Why would anyone still wear plate if you can just throw a bomb at them?
It's just Hollywood tier faggotry, and it turns me off.
