Forums - Microsoft - Kingdom Under Fire: CoD - In-Game video (ungodly!)

Im worried about:

1. Depth of combat
2. story
3. Length
4. framerate

 

Never played a Kingdom Under Fire game before, eh?

#1. Should be rather good. Every KUF game has had a decent bit to the depth of combat with the combos, ranged/melee weaponry and such. Add in RPG elements, and it should be even better.

#2. The KUF series has had one of the best ongoing plotlines of most any RPG series out there. KUF:COD takes place after KUF: The Crusaders. And Crusaders had a wonderful plotline.

#3. It should be fairly long for the SP game. Crusaders and Heroes were around 15-20hrs per character. This one has 6-8 characters that are playable, so it should be *around* 90hrs to beat with every character. Add in randomly generated dungeons and multiplayer, and it should be even longer.

#4. From the preview build, I didn't notice any issues with framerates. However, Phantagram's last effort, despite sucking (n3), it had no framerate issues.

The giant monster in the third video was incredibly lame. Everything about it, the design, the combat, etc.

And the armor rotating on the ground afterwards was kind of odd.


Overall I guess I'm not that impressed. This trails behind Fallout 3 and Too Human on my highly-anticipated upcoming RPGs list.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
