    The team mainly known for King Arthur is pushing to enter the "party-based tactical RPG" field with Broken Sea.

    Neocore also has a real-time action RPG in the works for PC and consoles, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing.

    king arthur was very nice and refreshing, so I am definitely holding my breath.

    Also SuicideBunny, I hope you will find joy in the entertaining list of novel shooters that were revealed in this year's E3 :thumbsup:

    King Arthur was awesome. King Arthur 2... not so much.

    Then again I never really liked the "race to the objective and camp" style fights. But the strategy and CYOA part was great.

    King Arthur was definately great, but this Van Helsing looks like some generic animefaggotry obsessed with Elric of Melnibone. I'll pass. Less generic anime and more Michael Whelan please.

    :rpgcodex:

    Sure, its "party-based tactical RPG" with "action-packed battles". I guess Dragon Age is also considered to be party-based tactical RPG, and this Broken Sea will be something similar. It will probably be boring banal shit.

    So, there are action-packed battles in the world that the game takes place in.

    How exactly does this conflict with the fact that the game set in this world is a tactical party-based RPG?

    Well, maybe I was to harsh and it will be a good game, but somehow I get a DA wannabe vibe from that announcement.
    I hope I'm wrong....

    Is there any mention of "turn-based"? No? Shame.

    Nothing to say about this one, that PR is as vague as it gets. Half of the text is background for their generic BSB setting.

    Wait, didn't this article say that the game will be turn-based before? Or did I read that somewhere else? Or am I just too drunk?

    This game isn't on Kickstarter, hence I have no reason to be enthusiastic of anything.

    But this one hasn't shown anything yet just like kickstarter projects so you can hope for the best too. :M

    I guess this game will NOT be turn-based. And I am happy about it. Kickstarter will(?) deliver a lot of them, so it is time to go different way. I would welcome RTwP with a lot of combat options in this particular case (taking into account their past). And, I hope they will still put a proper emphasis on the story telling (like in King Arthur games). I also wouln't mind some hybrid, where in some missions/scenarios you are controlling a whole squad of troops with one or two heroes (but NOT army). Say, a bit of Myth-like, but even more character oriented.
