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

[AwesomeButton]

I was thinking of the 2060. There's like, an handful of gaymes i'd like to be able to play at max. Elex, Twitcher 3 (maybe, couldn't get past the intro with the wombyn, the writing was way too Hollywood for my tastes. To this day that's as far as i've gotten with this game), Kingdom Come, and Assetto Corsa. There may be more but that's all i can come up with now. Star Citizen would have been a consideration if it wasn't so obviously vaporware.

If we are talking about 1080p Witcher 3, and not 4K, you are completely fine with a GTX 780.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I have a 660. There's no way around it, i'm just due for an upgrade.

 

[Burning Bridges]

What games would this be? Seriously, how many games per year are being published that utilize the highest of high end GPU? I couldn't name more than two games which have utilized my 4 and a half years old GTX780 since I bought it in 2013. I simply don't play many, if any, shitty games with flashy graphics.

non-popamole games, simulations etc

Hey Smejki - something I can't believe has never been asked. The game's title - Kingdom Come! Deliverance! It's pretty biblical. Does the game have any religious themes/motifs or did you just think it sounds cool?

The game is not centered around religious themes but they certainly are an integral part of the overall atmosphere. The name was decided upon before I joined the company.
Personally I am not a fan of the Deliverance subtitle but when it comes to KC there are many facts in its favor.
- It goes pretty well in hand with the fact that at this age people were expecting the Judgement Day to come soon
- Kingdom Come is a well understood phrase
- Kingdom Come sounds good
- And after all there are many things related to Christianity which are typical for this era and which formed the society and events presented in the game
Paradoxically the game is made by atheists (not aware of a single religiuous person on the team) in the most atheist country in the world :D

Should be up today.

So they sound like normal germans Czechs?

Fixed that for you.

Czech comparison



In a nutshell the German sings of fucking a Khazach prostitute in a dirty tent in Siberia, the Czech faggot sings about the "little Bee Maya".

 

[Smejki]

Day 1 patch is as big as the game itself?

Cryengine. Fix one texture and you have to download the whole data.pak again.
We didn't realize it soon enough to update the technology. Although we made some improvements to this system.

Was not relying on a quest compass ever a design goal of KCD? I

It was, but we didn't succeed 100% in that. And sometimes a marker was by far the the most convenient solution in terms of both development costs and gameplay experience.

 

[Smejki]

Beware Smejki, because if you go further down that road, you might actually try to sell us the idea, that the FPS counter in the 20s (that were seen on the screenshots) is actually beneficial for the player, as we'll get more cinematic experience that way.

Movies are traditionally shot in 24fps and nobody ever complained!

Goddamn communists.

 

[Paul_cz]

Goddamn communists.

That's like, the only good thing they have ever done.

It really doesn't support Steam's delta patching? Knowing this, why not just split the files into smaller archives, then?

so it’s basically a fantasy game!

Game soundtracks really kick ass! Fuck real music!

[Alienman]

Just got the dvd box. Basic version. I guess there are no real use for the DVDs since the YUGE patch. Not like I can hike into the woods and install the game on a lap-top and play now But the soundtrack is really nice. Listening to it now.

 

[Smejki]

so the game is not complete at all?

What. Ofc it is complete, otherwise it wouldn't be certified for konsoles. The patch just replaces the original files, due to the way Cryengine works (apparently if you make even a slightest change in the code you have to replace its entire 2GB parent packet).

they litterally write that their team is small and after the console certification they had to fix/rebalance ton of stuff.

so instead on working on post release content and add new stuff the team was forced to work on a day one patch for fix stuff.

Binaries are about 600MB, script and game data is about 50MB + 200MB. That's where you find fixes to balance, gameplay bugs, and tech.
Worst impact in terms of patch size are any changes to sounds, video and textures.

Forget that! Where is my Steam backer key!

There's no such thing about sending the backer keys in mail , nor even sending a warning that you have to go to their site and link your steam account , then it auto activate on Steam. Of course there's still no preload option cause nothing beats downloading 23 Go at release using a rural french connection.

 

[cvv]

Ofc they've sent the notice about the key lol.

 

[Raghar]

Anyone who expected console version to look like the trailers is just fooling himself....... if the PC ULTRA does not look like the trailers, then we can start firing up the torches.

You know, properly written games can be used to create video at EXTREME high settings with realistic shadows and raytracing, at 1 FPS. It's not playable speed but, it can run overnight. Result is awesome. But, that doesn't mean on average systems it looks SIGNIFICANTLY worse.

 

[SlamDunk]

KCD seems to be doing quite well in the sales department.

 

[AwesomeButton]

I'm watching the "Kingdom Come: Deliverance PS4 Gameplay" video. The animation with one hand under the other one's elbow and gesticulating with the upwards-pointing hand, the "considering" gesture, is way overused. I've developed a habit watching for reused gestures from playing Witcher 3.

BTW, from the comments, the author says: "Its on base ps4".

the official time is 9 am CET, which is 12am PST

22 HOURS TO GO

They posted on Steam discussion page that it will Release 9 am CET... May or may not be a preload happening.

Steam usually releases shit at 19:00 in whatever region, don't believe you can play it tomorrow @ 9. It's more likely 29 hours if you're in Western Europe.

German voiceovers.. they are shit

Further comparing with the Witcher 3, I see there is no feature for the NPCs to make remarks as you pass them by. This was eventually getting repetitive, but in retrospect, it was adding to the feeling of a town being inhabited by people as opposed to white walkers. Or maybe just the player in this stream hasn't accumulated enough reputation to provoke reactions? Even so, they could have been dropping lines about the weather, the harvest, the Cumans, etc.
