Manor Lords

[Geomancer]

You should be embarrassed Tale Worlds, this is from a single-person developer.

If only Bannerlord had half of the building and management features offered in this game and on-par graphics.

But, Bannerlord isn't a "city builder" game... You're aware of that, right? You know that games can focus on different gameplay activities and that these gameplay activities help define their "genre?" You know these things?

Maybe not.

Looks good...but, as Morkonan said, totally different genre. Looks more like a Stronghold meets a bit of Total War.

[The Ohio Question]

Why would they be embarrassed over a different concept? because its also set in a "middle ages" setting?

Thats like saying mordhau makes this game ♥♥♥♥, ignoring how they are not going for the same style at all.

[Geomancer]

Yeah, just my opinion, unpopular as it may be, but they released a half-assed game that is nearly a copy of their past games with updated albeit outdated graphics, and they have a whole team to work on it. That's whats embarrassing.

They could've fired half their team, hired this dude, and blown everyone's minds.

Yes, it is a slightly different style of game, but not that different.

Seems to? on a game that shares nothing with bannerlord save the basic timeframe?

Manor lords looks cool, sure, but all we have to go off of is a few moments of rough gameplay and some screenshots. Thats not a clear showing of quality.

Your not one of those people who buys games off of just the trailer are you?

It looked like UE, so I checked.

Yup, developed with Unreal Engine.

TW built their own engine. That guy did not. (Not taking anything away from what that developer as done, just sayin'...)


I don't know where you come off saying that Bannerlord has "outdated graphics." How? Compared to some UE FPS or some game that has, at most, five or ten characters on the screen at once? Bannerlord can have hundreds of units on the screen at once, each undertaking their own actions, each using weapon-appropriate animations, with units that can have multiple types of loadouts and can, and often do, appear very differently than even other units in their same category. It uses PBR materials, too. (Physicality Based Rendering) That means that materials behave as they do in "real lighting" conditions. Metal, leather, skin (even with SSS in Bannerlord) all have appropriate values.

Do you have any idea what a display engine, even a game engine, has to be able to do in order to deal with what Bannerlord deals with in a typical battle? Outdated? Hardly.

He is very clearly going based on...well, almost nothing. He is comparing apples to...I dunno, pears? Fairly similar on absolute surface level, but still very different; different species entirely.
