First game complete edition is only 4 euros in the PSN

 

[StereoVsn]

That looked great, really looking forward to the game.

I do wish they would throw a bone for the first game owners and do an exchanged patch for XSX/PS5. Helll, even if they charge like $10 for the upgrade.

 

[Reckheim]

"Different ethnicities or religious beliefs" doesn't have to mean POC.

That's fair. However you would get traders from middle east there. Especially in a mining town.

 

[Stafford]

The first one is insanely cheap on Kinguin now, Xbox One version. Yeah, ima bite.

Wont touch it without a PS5 patch. I tried it a few years back and it was way too clunky and miserable. I'm honestly surprised that they didn't announce a next gen patch for the first game today.

 

[IDKFA]

That's fair. However you would get traders from middle east there. Especially in a mining town.

Having a few Ottomans there would make sense. As long as it makes historical sense then I'm cool. It would be jarring seeing a Japanese knight for example, the same way it'd be jarring seeing a white English Mongolian warrior with a Geordie accent in Ghost of Tsushima.

 

[Killer8]

Experience the setting like never before - except that last game we made a few years ago with the same setting.

 

[Meicyn]

Yeah, I’m in for round 2. Honestly wasn’t expecting them to continue Henry’s story, but I’m game. I guess you won’t need to grind away at a training dummy since he’s a hardened warrior now, so that alone would make the game more accessible.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

day one, i'll buy 10 copies

 

[Dazraell]

I was watching one of the videos from the preview event Warhorse had recently and apparently the sequel will start in the same place where the first game has ended

 

[Kenneth Haight]

When 60fps patch for the first one? Still waiting before I can play it.

Wont touch it without a PS5 patch. I tried it a few years back and it was way too clunky and miserable. I'm honestly surprised that they didn't announce a next gen patch for the first game today.

 

[zapper]

wow, what a jump for warhorse. looks beautiful and memorable presentation, d1 for me

 

[DaciaJC]

From the IGN interview:


That sounds sweet baby inc like bullshit.

If it makes historical sense to include other groups, why would it be bullshit? Something like "different religious beliefs" probably refers to Jews, who had a sizeable population in metropolitan centers like Prague and presumably Kuttenberg.

 

[StereoVsn]

lol what? Adult Only on Steam?

They are saying Henry is hung like the … War Horse!

Traders from Middle East would make sense as well which can include the Moors.

 

[Fake]

What engine?

 

[Xtib81]

What engine?

Cry engine.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Lmfao. Honestly I'm not sure what's happening with their Steam page, but I can't stop laughing since now it changed from 'AO' to 'Frequent Nudity and Sexual Content'.

 

[TintoConCasera]

[rodrigolfp]

Will try with VR mod.

 

[TVexperto]

Yeah, I think this will be a 30 fps experience on PS5/XBS. Kuttenberg at least will put those Zen 2 CPUs to work lol.

where is that quote from

 

[IDKFA]

which can include the Moors.

The Moors were just a name that Europeans gave to the Muslim invaders and occupiers of the Iberian Peninsula and Sicily.

 

[March Climber]

lol what? Adult Only on Steam?

The more big budget devs and AAA companies push into AO territory, the more it can become an accepted category on multiple storefronts.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

I'm the opposite of a graphics whore but that was very impressive! One of the first times where I didn't feel like the emphasis on realism was just for the sake of it, but actually serves the setting, story and gameplay. Well done!

 

[Little Chicken]

No chickens? Racism.

From this IGN interview

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Interview: New Setting Will Feature 'Wide Range of Ethnicities and Different Characters' - IGN

In the first interview following the announcement of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Warhorse Studios shed more light on the map size, the decision to stay with the CryEngine, its approach to historical accuracy, and more.

www.ign.com

 

[StereoVsn]

The Moors were just a name that Europeans gave to the Muslim invaders and occupiers of the Iberian Peninsula and Sicily.

Yes, and they can include all kinds of different nationalities, all perfectly historically.

 

[Gp1]

I love developers who dare to age their characters. And not like Tekken where Heihashi is 70 years old for almost 20 years.

The only point that i really expect a improvement is the multi enemy combat.

The rest... "Good to see you Henry!"

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks like they messed up with the content tags or something, but they're going to fix it.

 

[March Climber]

No one is bold enough to take that first step.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Game just got announced and they are already dealing with bugs? oh, man.

 

[IDKFA]

Yes, and they can include all kinds of different nationalities, all perfectly historically.

Nationality wasn't really a thing in the early 15th century. Yes, they can show different ethnicities, but it needs to make sense to the time period if they're going for historical accuracy.

 

[StereoVsn]

Good point, Nationalism didn’t really start get going til maybe 18th century.

Some folks on this thread are now disappointed!

 

[M1chl]

Sadly I am not part of this one, because life and stuff. All the best for the studio.

Máte na to hoši

 

[JayK47]

I never got very far in the first one. But I still wanted to eventually get to it. Of course, they are saying this one is much larger than the first. Could be a 100 hour game. This looks interesting. If they improve upon the original, maybe I will just jump into the sequel.

 

[Denton]

Gamestar.de had the opportunity to play the game, here is their extensive preview

Kcd2

justpaste.it

(it is behind paywall, hence justpaste, and is google translated from german, but pretty well)

An example: Every person in the entire game world is a unique NPC with a specific daily routine, specific place of residence, specific characteristics such as inventory, behavior and so on. That was true for the first part, but in a game world twice as large, including a medieval city? Ugh.
Second example: If I throw my valuable hat on the ground and a resident spots it, after a while he not only pockets the loot, but also puts the hat on himself! Scenes that happen exactly in the real world - especially at Oktoberfest.
Third example: If I pass out drunk, someone might steal from me. And I can then find this person in the city because someone will be wearing my shoes.
These examples illustrate what Prokop also confirms to me again: Kingdom Come 2 wants to go the extra mile to draw people as deeply into the scenario as possible. The world should feel believable, despite its size it sometimes risks being idle, but it offers more than just additional space.

Ahhhh this is what I was expecting from oblivion back in the day! I believe it's real this time, god I hope I can stomach the jank.

I'm gonnah redownload this first one and try again....

 

[Braag]

The first game ended on a cliffhanger if I remember correctly, I remember being a little baffled how abruptly it ended, just as you thought it was gonna pick up in a big way.
So makes sense it continues from where the first one ended.
I do hope the game is in a polished state once it drops, really excited for this.

 

[March Climber]

Some folks on this thread are now disappointed!

I just want big budget gaming to move forward to being able to tell stories as dark as something as in Game of Thrones, rather than something like the Walking Dead. They both have 'blood' in them but the themes in Walking Dead are almost PG comparatively, and that's what M rated games feel like. PG games with some blood and swearing.

 

[Bojji]

Deluding themselves into believing that the first game was "racist" and "historically inaccurate" because no black people were shown in a tiny slice of 1400s rural Bohemia. The usual lunacy.

I mean developers could have changed history and create alternate reality where Kingdom of Nri attacks Bohemia with help from Japanese Samurais. But fucking racists wanted to stick with real history...

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

So Kingdom Come 2 has been announced and let me guess ..no announcement of a patch for 60 fps on consoles for KC?

I would've been embarrassed to reveal my next game having not done the bare minimum effort to improve the previous game to take advantage of new hardware, but these publishers and higher ups have no shame. A game like KC1 is practically unplayable at 30 fps.

 

[Outlier]

As hyped as I am, I won't be preordering this or getting it for the first 6 months.
But still excited!

A couple more gifs from the extended footage, mostly with that very detailed new city.

From the IGN interview:

Warhorse "So historian... were there peoples of colour, like any kind, that would be around in medieval 15th century Bohemia?"
Historian "No.."

[lh032]

yep, ps5 pro is required.

they will give us native ps5 version of the first game right? RIGHT?

 

[Ansphn]

Not touching this game again unless they improve the shit tier combat.

 

[Dorfdad]

Man I'm madly hyped! Sad I won't be able to play it on the PC this time around.

GEFORCE NOW says hello.. 1st ones on there and plays beautiful
