For Honor (PC/PS4/XB1)

[6souls]

Carve a path of destruction through the battlefield in For Honor! Enter the chaos of a raging war as a bold Knight, brutal Viking, or mysterious Samurai, three of the greatest legendary warriors. For Honor is a fast-paced, competitive experience mixing skill, strategy, and team play with visceral melee combat.

The Art of Battle, For Honor’s innovative control system, puts you in total control of your heroes, each with distinct skills and weapons, as you fight for land, glory, and honor. As a skilled warrior on a believable battleground, you annihilate all soldiers, archers, and opposing heroes who stand in your way.

For Honor will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation®4 system, and Windows PC.

Key Features:
• Choose your hero among the three greatest legacies of warriors: Knights, Vikings, or Samurai. Able to turn the tide of battle and make their faction victorious, each warrior comes with their own weapon set and play style.

• Capture control points, and slaughter enemies with our groundbreaking multi-player mode.

• The Art of Battle control system lets you wield the weight of your weapon and feel the power and impact of each strike.

• Inspire fear in your enemies by customizing your warrior, including your chest, shoulders, and helmet.

Fucking A. I have to save up so much money now. I went from going like 3 years straight only buying one or two games. That's going out the window this year, clearly.

I hope that this game does well so that can release a sequel named For Might and another one named For Right.

Additional details

Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, For Honor drops gamers into the chaos of a raging battlefield during an ongoing war between three Great Factions: the bold Knights (the Legions), the brutal Vikings (the Warborn) and the enigmatic Samurai (the Chosen). For every battle, players can choose which warrior they want to embody amongst the unique Heroes from this pantheon and use their distinct skills and weapons to fight for land, people and honor, decimating all soldiers, archers and opposing Heroes who stand in their way.

For Honor includes both a thrilling multiplayer and an engaging, single-player campaign, letting players conquer their foes alone or with friends. Tense gameplay mixes the skill and ruthlessness of a shooter with the quick, heat of the battle decision-making of team-based tactical games. The Art of Battle, Sanctuary’s innovative control scheme, gives players total command of their weapons by creating a direct connection between the input on the controller and the moves performed on screen. Players choose precisely where to block, where to attack and how to adapt their approach to each battle in real time.

“Our vision with For Honor is to create a game that ignites the same emotions that a warrior would feel on a real battlefield. The tension of face-to-face encounters with deadly enemies, the adrenaline of charging alongside your army against the opposition, and the danger of a chaotic battle when you don’t know where the next strike will come from,” said Jason Vandenberghe, Creative Director, Ubisoft. “It’s a game that celebrates the art of sword-fighting and the legacy of the legendary warriors from those great legacies, the Knights, the Vikings and the Samurai that we brought together in one single experience.”

I just wish this wasn't being published by Ubishit though. So I'll wait a long while before considering, looks great though.

Survey sent out today to email subs - http://ubisoft.fluidsurveys.com/surv...community/?id=

Some of these questions are horrible. Lumping together the "how many games purchased digitally or physically" for PC & Console. Primarily I purchase PC games digitally and Console games physically.

Interesting things to take from this;

"You would find it worthwhile to click on an in-game ad that offers something for free in exchange"

Ubi is considering in-game DLC via in-game ads. Not thrilled about this.

I guess that's all that was unique about this survey. The rest of the content about the game itself has already been in promotional material.

I wrote in "Less U-Play requirement" for Things I'd like to see added to For Honor.

Onboard so hard for this day 1. Favorite of E3 this year so far.

I really dig the amount of attack animations per direction. A real fighter would be gassed after about 30 seconds of that fight, but hey, it LOOKS amazing.

So FFXIV has most of my free time tied up, but For Honor looks like a really fun game, and 7 days to die looks like another fun multi-player survival game. Any thoughts on either of these games, or other online games that look promising?

This was a huge announcement, IMO, because it shows that there will be enough depth in roles and character options to make for a pretty long-lasting game. It also shows hope for additional post-launch content to further extend the life of the game.

Its firmly on my radar now; still behind Mount and Blade II, however, but I feel like this game will come out sooner.

• Kensei - History has not been kind to the Samurai. After losing their homeland to sea and fire, the nomadic warriors have ceased their wandering and have rebuilt themselves a new nation under a mighty Emperor.

• Raider - Previously thought to have vanished, the Vikings have returned to plunder, take new lands, and reclaim their ancient homeland in the north.

• Warden - Scattered for centuries, the Knights have begun at last to gather again under a single banner: that of the Iron Legion.
