Wow the graphics are great, in a very realistic way too.
Haven't really been following this but it's looking pretty interesting.
I can't believe this game is coming along. I was like 100% sure the thing would either be dead on arrival, or would die in production. Looks great though.
I'm a little disappointed that they still have you slashing away at plate armor with a sword in a game going for realism, but otherwise, game looks great.
Holy shit, that release date is a lot close than I'd expected.
Honestly, despite having alpha and beta access, I haven't really bothered to play this game because the performance, any time I tried to played it, was horrendous, like jumping between 15 and 30 FPS, turning down the settings didn't help a great deal, it managed to stay above 30 but alot of the graphical options being turned down and off actually make the game look like shit.
Hopefully when the game is released it runs well.
The beta hasn’t been updated at all, it was more a demonstration. They’ve done a lotnof work on the game from what I can tell. Some settings were not even implemented in the beta.

It's hard to make plate work in a video game because most of the techniques for getting past it don't really translate to controlling a character with a mouse and keyboard or a controller instead of with your own actual body.

You just don't use swords against plate armour unless you're jabbing them.

Yeah, I agree. I was just hoping they would figure out some way to represent targeting weak points instead of just raking your sword against solid steel.
Cryengine hasn't run out of steam just yet, this game is absolutely gorgeous. I remember playing one of the first alphas, and a few of the most recent ones, and it runs much better than before, even looking like it does. I remember first running across the guy 'hanging around' about a year ago.
This game is everything I wanted Oblivion to be.
Combat feels really weak, I think it's a lack of meaty sound effects when your blade connects.

It's also ~immersive~ which means that the camera is attached to the head. Animations aren't adjusted for first person so some swings look weak as you can't see, nor feel the swing.
I predict the meta will be running around naked with a dagger leading to you murdering everyone in heavy armor.

The sounds are realistic, which is the "problem". For Honor's sound design is amazing because they play up what you wish swords sounded like in real life. Those swords [I]sing[/I].

Also it's slow as hell, at certain points it actually almost looks like they're fighting underwater.

Doubt it seeing as how easy it seems to be to get blindsided.
