Gamespy Preview

[Imperial Dane]

Well gamespy offered up a small preview, and they seem to like it

So read it while we wait for the next tales of Endoria.

Wow, that's an awesome sounding preview. The quotes below are some of the key parts I liked.

"The first thing we noticed was that it finally seemed to have a proper English translation"

"While the 3D terrain and monsters are rather abstracted and stylized, they're also very attractive, distinctive and well-animated. It's filled with all sorts of eye-pleasing details including ambient animations and spectacular graphic effect for combat and spells... this version is attractive and vibrant."

"We were pleased to note that the gameplay just feels right, particularly to someone who still remembers the original fondly. The RPG and strategy systems seem to mesh together well and provide the player with quite a number of deep and interesting strategic battles."

Yet another source that says September 23rd as the release date.

I really hope this is finally it. Only 5 weeks to go.

I'm doubtful since the English language King's Bounty web site hasn't been updated in the faq section.

You never know though, its close enough for a demo, that preview says everything is seemingly flawless and that the translation is finally great. So it cant be too much longer.

Well, that's not saying much. They hardly update that site at all.

From the one screenshot they gave us the translation does look better.

What King said is true, its gotten to the point where I barely pay any attention to the main site and just head straight for the forums.

As for the screenshot, yes it shows good english, but I would prefer something with more writing like one of the class descriptions during class selection. Otherwise we'll have to wait until the demo to get a good look at the translation.

Honestly i must profess to not really looking at the site anymore as it doesn't get updated at all it would seem. I mean that poll has been there for ages.

And the fact that the latest news is almost 4 months old... at least we know the demo is coming and soon enough the games convention.
