KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance Pre-Release Thread [RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Disgruntled]

That little camp screenshot looks insane.:S

The upper part of the screenshot with the tree lighting looks almost photorealistic.
Im tempted to try the alpha just to visit those kind of locations, and I might have to if they go the CDPR route and downgrade everything for console release.

Graphics whores unite?

Dan wants to know how much he can downgrade the graphics from the alpha and still get away with it.

PC gaming will reclaim its throne, mark my words fellow noblemen. The Age of Peasantry is at an end. Our victory is at hand!

And A Multiplatform Next Gen title by a creator who believes a controller is the best input device will lead the charge.

There will be no epic battle, no "charge" to lead. Only a mediocre platform crumbling under the weight of its own mediocrity. PC will simply step up, toss the dead Peasant Ruler aside and sit on the now-empty throne.

Dan thinks: We could also pull one of this kind off... and the smell of a victory smells really good.

They could get far with a beer brand like that.

It's just a rebrand of their normal production.

Half-swording in a vidya game :O What a time to be alive.

Well, about a week or so before we discover if this game is a complete fucking disaster or...I don't even know what.

Still remember the fate of Clang and what Stephenson said as an obituary:

""The prototype was technically innovative, but it wasn't very fun to play. This is for various reasons. Some of these were beyond our control. Others are my responsibility in that I probably focused too much on historical accuracy and not enough on making it sufficiently fun."

I trust Dan not to make the same mistake, even though all they were talking about in all the updates ever released was historical accuracy. And maybe AI. No mention ever about the fun factor, character development, itemization, level scaling etc.

Obviously I can't guarantee anything, and any game can flop, but I feel fairly confident in KCD. Unlike Stephenson with CLANG, who had literally zero experience with video games, these guys are all industry vets. More pertinently, their most notable previous efforts, Operation Flashpoint and Mafia, both had combat systems that weren't just very realistic, but also a lot of fun. We will see in a week or two.

Am i the only one who thinks first person is the wrong choice for a fencing game? Melee combat is all about anticipation of movement, distance to the enemy, reach of your weapon. That all is much harder to see as player if youre stuck in first person. Will there also be a third person option?

Yeah, I don't understand why it's in the 1st person view either. It seems obvious to me that melee combat is better controlled and viewed from the 3rdPP, not to mention it looks cool when you can watch your guy make the moves. I hope they know what they're doing with this.

It's because of that thing called immershawn.

E3 presentation more likely.

.. or simply a combat module added to their Early Access beta.

It's for all those VR nuts.

 

[Doktor Best]

Dat accuracy, dat combat moves at 2:57

 

[Eyestabber]

I remember from the kickstarter video that they would add castle sieges. First person castle sieges in no-fantasy medieval setting with Crytek powered graphics sounds really cool, to be honest.
