Out of the announcements from GDC, I didn't really see any game announcements except for this one. War of the Roses is based on historical 15th century England where a series of civil wars broke out to claim the throne. The game looks a lot like Mount & Blade (also published by Paradox Interactive) but is being developed by Fatshark (who developed Lead & Gold: Gangs of the Wild West and Bionic Commando Rearmed 2) rather than TaleWorlds. The focus on gameplay seems to be dynamic combat mechanics as those who have played Mount & Blade would know that the animations and fighting are very stiff and rigid. War of the Roses seems to be a lot smoother and offers brutal finishing moves. How the rest of the game plays is still uncertain as the developer has yet to reveal much about the game. Much like Mount & Blade, the game will feature massive multiplayer battles and an extensive persistence system in their single-player campaign. I'm not even sure if there was an end to any of the Mount & Blade games as one can play hundreds of hours out of it while free roaming the map. War of the Roses is looking great from the videos so far and I'm prepared to get it if I can get as great a deal as I did out of the Mount & Blade series (I bought all 3).
