This is the first proper trailer for War of the Roses, a multiplayer combat game from Fatshark and Paradox. Come for the bows and medieval countryside, stay for the man who gets stabbed in the head not once, not twice, but thrice.
PC specialists Paradox unveiled three new games at GDC yesterday. One is The Showdown Effect, which if you can make it past the intro in the trailer above unfurls into something that looks like Worms and Quake III had a tiny, split-screen baby.
This has long been a bit of an elephant in the room when it comes to “giant publishers talking about piracy”, so naturally it’s taken a representative from a small publisher to bring it up.
Paradox’s Cartel is shaping up to be more of a sequel to Syndicate then the official sequel that EA announced last week.
