Kingmakers Game

[Zema Bus]

I heard about this game today. The player takes a pickup truck and modern weapons back in time to the sword fighting era. In the trailer he's mowing down armies with his truck, and shooting them with a multitude of modern weapons including a sniper rifle. It's supposed to be out sometime this year.

Heheh... I always wished I could do that, go back to medieval times with machine guns and shit lol

I'll have to watch for that one

That sure does look like something I could play, a strategy game (choices) but third person shooter perspective and action. So far the requirements are only listed as Windows 10 and 64 bit processor, but that'll just be because they aren't determined yet.

Yeah I'm looking forward to this one, hope it'll be as good as it seems. Lots of times in sword fighting games I thought if only I had a gun lol!

Here's a recent trailer:

ooohhh... 4K, sampled down and destructively encoded in a youtube video

(Why even say that. it kills me when people try to demonstrate resolution, ray tracing, dithering, etc. in a 400x400 jpg or something lol)

I'm going to buy that game just for the concept, likely. This trailer showed quite a bit... that looks funny as Hell, mowing down horses and soldiers with machine guns etc. But yes... arrows still hurt.

It's a smaller publisher, so it's not likely to be all gibbled up with DRM we can't work with too.

This game now has an official release date set for October 8th.

That's good to hear, I had forgotten about this one. I'm sure I'll be getting it, whether I like it or not

I don't know about October 8th, there'd be some change in status if it had a definite release date in a few days, I'd think. It's still in "Coming Soon" status on Steam, with add to wishlist but no pre-purchase option or release date. I've been hoping to see some activity to confirm an imminent release.

P.S. Oh... I missed this

"After much contemplation, we realize that the scheduled Kingmakers launch on October 8 will no longer be possible"

Blah blah blah, but it's simply because it's a complex game that's not ready yet and they don't want to rush it out the door.

[Zema Bus]

I was just thinking about that today, that it's just two days out, but yeah, no surprise with a game like this that the release date might need to be pushed back.

It's a bummer though, I was wanting to get this. There just haven't been any new games for me to get lately, and much of what I was buying recently before this, haven't made me very happy (and I never finished them). So I cycle through a lot of the same old games that I like for relatively brief times.
