wonderful graphics!!

 

[Mohonky]

Easily one of my favourite titles on Xbox and pisses over the Dynasty Warriors and co competition. Can't wait for this, a true next gen sequel to the Xbox originals

 

[Kuroyume]

There's a debut trailer up at Gametrailers right now. It looks awesome.

[Rice-Eater]

I loved the original on the Xbox and this one looks flat out amazing. I only own a PS3 so will there be a PS3 version? If not I was going to get a 360 eventually anyways.

 

[Ghost]

I always find the combination of massive scale and texture detail in these games astounding, that trailer was full on helmsdeep level stuff. And just when you think "na this is CG" the GUI pops up. Crazy.


My big problem with the first game was how stale the combat was, those QTE looking events should help somewhat with that.

 

[szaromir]

I liked the gun. And that's about it. Didn't like Lair-like aesthetics.

 

[Lebron]

wow, that really does look great.

 

[Johann]

Even if it's running off a PC, those are still some amazing graphics. I hope they show Regnier and the Encablossa mutant army soon.

 

[Blimblim]

Wow, an asian game with proper lighting? That's rare, to say the least.

 

[shykyoichi]

Looks great!

 

[Kyoufu]

Argh I need a youtube link, can't get it to download.

 

[SpokkX]

Looks amazing. You can fly dragons also? Is this what Lair should have been?

[MrHicks]

another one?
wasn't there one released just recently for 360?

 

[Lebron]

Yeah, but I believe this one is the true sequel to KUF: The Crusaders if I'm not mistaken. I think it's also suppose to have a MMO portion.

spinoff

 

[nelsonroyale]

this game is hitting ps3, pc and 360 right?

looks quite impressive...

Although the colour pallete reminds me of Lair (ugh)

360/pc, MGS publisher i believe, or at least they published the last one

 

[D2M15]

I could do without the death metal, however

Man, KUF without cheesy metal is like peanut without butter.

I find the lack of Lucretia disturbing, though.

 

[nelsonroyale]

check every other website so far, and it says otherwise...but who knows

Regardless, I have a pc...although the game didnt really look that exciting to me in the vid

 

[Witchfinder General]

pretty sweet.

It's not Death Metal. Don't be ignorant.


Anyhoo, game looks amazing.

 

[Mohonky]

Many places I have seen are advertising PS3 as well at this point. I regard this as one of those Xbox gems that was largely ignored and I would suspect if it is indeed coming to PS3, PS3 owners won't give a shit anyway.

This for me however, is an absolute must have and the series was one of my favourite on the Xbox along with other titles like Otogi and Oddworld Strangers Wrath, all of which sold shit but were brilliant titles in their own right.

Does anyone know if the second Xbox original is BC yet? I know the first is and as I was playing that but I still have the second hoping it'll come BC as well.

 

[Metal Gear?!]

Looks like a better LOTR game than Conquest.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Some very impressive lighting and use of motion blur, looks fantastic.

 

[Desi]

FUCK FUCK FUCK YEAH!! I weeded through all the E3, TGS, Lepzig, & Microsoft Conventions just for information on this game!

 

[Caspel]

As far as I was told, Microsoft didn't pick up the publishing rights this time around. I believe they instead chose Ninety-Nine Nights 2 to be published due to both releasing around the same time and didn't want to release games that would overlap.

 

[Foster]

This game looks rather epic

Wow looks great and awesome (except for all the clipping of course)

thanks!

I don't get the drooling though, looks meh to me :/

 

[harSon]

Looks awesome. As a fan of the series, I was a bit disappointed in the direction of their last effort. This one looks a hell of a lot better...

 

[Mr Killemgood]

Looks great. Will be interesting to see if Microsoft publishes it (would be awesome if they did).

Loved Crusaders, and thought Circle of Doom was alright (could of used 4p local co-op). Will buy this on day-1.

 

[SPEA]

Wow. That looks pretty awesome.

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Whoa

 

[LiK]

i enjoyed the first game. here's hoping this version returns to that formula.

 

[godhandiscen]

GAME OF THE FOREVER!

FUCK YEAH!

It will have a persistent battle world btw.

 

[bryehn]

Looks fantastic. The lighting is amazing.

 

[godhandiscen]

Yeah, I noticed that too. In the original you could call them as an attack unit.

As far as I was told, Microsoft didn't pick up the publishing rights this time around. I believe they instead chose Ninety-Nine Nights 2 to be published due to both releasing around the same time and didn't want to release games that would overlap.

This game is also geared more towards PC's. At least that was the idea last time I talked to the devs during the community events for the KUF:CoD. There is a persistent world system on which you will gain control of regions with your army, much like Chromehounds. At the time (6 months or so ago) it worked better on the PC they said.

I asked for the PS3 version back then, and work had not been started on it. I posted all of this in the old KUF:CoD thread. The community day was awesome. I fucking loved CoD.

 

[Flyguy]

Sexy time. I didn't even know a proper sequel was in the works. I really enjoyed the original, but was pretty disappointed with the direction of the last game based off the demo. What is the release date for this?

 

[Beavertown]

Looks awesome. Thank god, they're going back to the original.. the last game was just atrocious.

 

[Takuan]

OH YEAAAS.

Screens are PC, yeah? Looks fantastic. Can't wait.

 

[sevenchaos]

Damn that looks good.

 

[Pizza Luigi]

What? I'm sorry, what did you say?

Ah, I see; bullshots.

 

[godhandiscen]

What? I'm sorry, what did you say?

Ah, I see; bullshots.

That is the in-game engine running on a PC. Just because you don't see your console of choice pulling that doesn't mean other gamers won't be able to play the game with that graphical quality.

 

[Warm Machine]

Looks awesome. Thank god, they're going back to the original.. the last game was just atrocious.

I enjoyed it for what it was. Its an old school 3d versions of something like Diablo II.

 

[harSon]

What? I'm sorry, what did you say?

Ah, I see; bullshots.

Did you check out the bullvideo as well?

 

[Apharmd Battler]

Kigdom Under Fire was one of my top franchises on the original XBox and I've been frothing at the mouth for a next gen update. I was wondering if we'd hear from the series again. If Ninety Nine Nights 2 can get a sequel, why the hell can't I get another KuF game?!

It looks like this game will be fantastic, hopefully they'll put money in the budget for better voice acting. though. KuF: Heroes was a step up, but I still crap up at KuF: Crusaders. The timing and delivery is still pure comedy...but I digress. The games were still fun as hell to play.

Now if we can just get Pandemic to do another Full Spectrum Warrior........

 

[Dibbz]

No way is that in game. No way no way no way. I looks too damn good to be a multiplatform game which has lighting and scale that good.

Who the hell are these guys?

 

[Metalmurphy]

Holyshit, that motion blur looks insane.

Phantagram had a great engine on the Xbox for both their KUF games, one of the best of last generation graphically even (if you forget about the framerate at least). Both their previous games (N3 and KUF:CoD) used the old engine "upgraded" for 360. And we all know that such upgrades don't do much good.
KUF II uses an entirely new engine they've been working on for 3 years now, called Fame Tech 2. And that's the result.
All that remains to see is how the framerate will be on the 360. And with Phantagram's history I have no doubt it won't be pretty...

That's my concern as well. I shall hope for the best.
