Apparently, there was a huge war in the 14th century - back when people couldn't go on killing sprees on PS2 so they did it in real life instead - over who would be the successor to the French throne.

And that's the battle that Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War brings to life. The tactical war sim, set in Medieval Europe, will have players command armies in brutal battles in huge open environments.

You control a rogue commander and his army in clashes with the British and French forces with infantry, archers, and cavalry at your disposal. As well as winning battles, you have to build up your reputation as a successful commander in order to attract better troops to your squad.

If it's as epic as Koei promises, this could be one neat strategy game. Our only curiosity is why the in-game screens look like it's running on PS2. Check them out below.

Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War is due to release on PS3 in Q1 2007.

why? because it's KOEI, that's why..they're known for caring less about the graphics on their games..see Dynast Warriors Extreme Skateboarding.
