New Knightmare clip!

Post by Steve »

Hey guys,

Has any1 been to the televirtual website recently?

theres a short video file of the new knightmare available for download (why do i get the feeling that this has been mentioned during my absence from the forum) anyway it seems to be a causeway scene and it all looks pretty cool.

one thing tho, does anyone else think the dungeoneer avatar would look much cooler if he/she wore the helmet of justice, the knapsack and the eyeshield? it seems to be all thats missing for the true KM experiance.

Yeah - I think the new clip was advertised either on the KM site or on the forum itself.

It would certainly make a welcome change!

The only reasons, IMHO, that Televirtual has left out the HoJ ETC is either

A) To avoid their new game system being typecast as ONLY the 'new Knightmare'...

B) There may still be some residual copyright issues kicking around (Anglia hanging on to the dregs of the rights or possibly Challenge? due to the repeat showings of the original programme).
There are but 2 rules in this realm:-
1) He who sees first is the winner...
2) He who is seen first is toast...

I don't think Anglia (Granada now, I think) have any outstanding claim on the format of the programme. The same goes for Challenge (who have only licensed the made programmes for transmission - Granada DO have the rights to those but not to the format). Regarding typecasting, it has been made explicitally clear that it's Km VR Development. You can't typecast much more than that!

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a horned helmet again. Little idiosyncracies like that give a show character.

Tru, the HoJ would make it appeal to the older fans, whilst the newer ones (thanks CTV!) would remember it also.

The Old HoJ was recognised as the helmet of the dungeoneer, and I would like to see it back too!

Even if it has a huge gap in the front of it so that it looks like dungeoneers can see, it still would be ol' horny!

I recently visited the Knightmare VR News section of the Televirtual website and found that there are two more video clips available for download, alongside the original causeway scene.

They are entitled "The Return of Lord Fear" and "Despair Encounter" and they can both be downloaded from the news page at http://televirtual.com/news2.htm. Both of them look quite interesting! :D

Are these two videos new? I haven't been to the Televirtual website for a while, so I'm not sure how recently it was updated and I apologise if they have already been pointed out. However, I couldn't find mention of them on the forum, so I thought I'd speak up anyway! ;D

These two new clips are really good!

Lord Fear looks scary and like he used too but not sure about Lissard. Do we know who did the voices (Mark Knight, Cliff Barry)?

On to clip two. I take it this new wall monster is a bit like the Doors from Series 4. As for his voice- what about the bloke who plays Bernard Scripps in Heartbeat? He also seems quite like Marvin the Paranoid Android from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

I'm not sure who did the voices for the characters, but they do sound quite similar to Mark Knight and Cliff Barry. Still, it's good to see evidence of the good ol' saracastic humour and banter between Lord Fear and Lissard! :D

As for the second clip, the wall monster voice does sound like Bernard Scripps (Peter Benson) from Heartbeat... the monster itself is also reminiscent of the depressed Gargoyle from Series 1 & 2 of Knightmare!

The old gargoyles and this new "Despair" monster do sound a bit like Marvin... I half expect them to suddenly say "I think you ought to know, I'm feeling very depressed..."! ;D

It certainly sounds like Mark Knight doing Lord Fear, but I have no idea who's playing Lissard, as it doesn't sound much like Cliff Barry at all.

This is absolute torture! I haven't seen anything of this KMVR stuff in motion. Lord Fear and Lissard clips? I'll just assume it's good.
I like my telly scary, and very dungeonish.
