We didn’t start the fire in Bladestorm’s 6th trailer

If the only “History” you ever learned was from Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” chances are, your knowledge of “History” only goes back as far as the mid-1900s. (Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray, South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio…). Well, if you want to go further back than that, there’s Bladestorm: The Hundred Years’ War for you. And no, the game won’t obviously involve Billy Joel’s big hair-do and shoulder pads.

Koei‘s game will have you pitted against a war between France and England. It features historical characters like Prince Edward and Joan of Arc. While some of the more historically inclined might nit-pick this certain detail because Joan of Arc lived long after Edward’s death (Max F. sums it up with: “either this game spans the centuries, or this game has a lot of flashbacks, or this game is “only somewhat kind of very loosely based” on the history”), you still can’t decry the fact that the game can handle 65,000 units on screen at the same time.

Epic in magnitude, hellsyeah. This sixth trailer will convince you so. You think the Cell Processor can’t handle the intensity of history’s war of a hundred years? Think again. This is a different kind of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” But definitely just as hot.
