Russian Kingdom Come Deliverance - Смута

[Fedora Master]

Neither Poles nor Russians buy games unless they come on a gaming magazine CD.

 

[Lord_Potato]

Profits from the game are taxed and land in the Russian treasury. Basic economy.

By buying polack games you support PIS coffers

Regretfully, that is correct.

For the Russians it's different. Devs don't have to stay in Russia - hundreds of thousands of people left after the war started. It's especially easy for IT specialists. With their skillset, they could find a job everywhere else in the world. And yet they stayed and CHOSE to stay in Russia and work on projects there.

At no other point in the history of warfare has anyone said that you have a responsibility to stop being your nationality and to leave your country or else you’re evil. Not even in WW2. Only the power of Polish asspain from a half century (actually multiple centuries) of their grandfathers bravely doing… nothing against foreign occupation could bring this about. Like some kind of rare eclipse, it should be studied in depth (heh).

i don't think we'll see anything meaningful for a year or so if it actually materializes and actually becomes a real game and not just some Crytek Engine showcase that's all flash and no substance

 

[Parsimonious cook]

An RPG set in the Pike & Shot era is always welcome, though I dont have much optimism for this being any good or even getting an actual release. We will see...

The unreal engine 5 looks similar to KCD cryengine. Its good to see UE5 looks more photorealistic than cartoony.

 

[Wunderbar]

Looks like an average Playstation-exclusive game. Three perk trees, and "hide-in-the-bushes" primitive stealth mechanic

So someone got a leaked copy of the game in its current state and wrote a review. If interested, read it using google translate https://dtf-ru.translate.goog/s/753..._sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Says it's a "semi-open world". There's horse riding. Reminds of Kingdom Come.
There's 20 minutes of gameplay footage.



The good thing is that this game actually exists and is not just a ue4 cinematic.

 

[Stavrophore]

Game has this homely feeling so far, good, there's basis for something if it gets polished.

 

[Bester]

Just watched the video. I like the dialogues. They don't speak like modern Russians, it sounds like byliny (ancient slavic epics). If this can be translated well into English, would be a cool thing for the rest of the world. But such things are rare. Only Spartacus did something like that, where they invented their own English version of "latin" and spoke with unusual constructs, mixed with "Jupiter's cock" interjections.

 

[Fargus]

I didn't watch all of it but sounds like the voice acting is just placeholder. At least i hope so. They really need to find some decent voice actors, preferable from theater like the localizers did in 2000s. And for their own sake i hope there won't be any retarded bloggers like Ivleeva doing the voicing in.

 

[GloomFrost]

I must admit that it looks way, way, wayyyy better then I expected. Got Kingdome Come vibes rather then Ass creed AND decent looking visuals and design. Its one of the most anticipated games for me now. Incline.

that won't be hard, the entire dubbing industry sits without work after most of the foreign studios quit Russia. No movies to dub, no videogames to dub, no tv series to dub. The actors scramble for money and now work with amateur studios doing fan translations.

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

I don't get it, I thought it was the dirty moskals who derailed the convo here and made it get put in politics subforum. Why are you discussing the actual game????

They had to hire Gruzdev for some role

Looks pretty, we’ll see how the whole package turns out.

 

[Bester]

Another 20 minutes.



Assets showcase starts at 14:00

The horse riding, quest at top left, and quest marker at top right giving me Twitcher 3/DA:I PTSD, there better be a way to turn that off. Have a bad feeling just based off of that.

 

[Stavrophore]

Its all fine, but why are the slavs gesticulating like italians? Literally every russian in this game is acting like Morshu.

 

[Parsimonious cook]

The voiceovers sound like they were recorded over Skype or something, lel.

 

[Hace El Oso]

Placeholder voice work is routine, I believe.

I just spent the last 45 minutes cleaning all the off-topic shit out of this thread. It resulted in nearly 150 posts being moved to Politics. Some of the somewhat off-topic posts were left alone if they were considered to be tangential enough to the content of the game.

The following users have been banned from replying to this thread for 7 days:

Ol' Willy
Reinhardt
Arbiter
Bester
Heroic Liberator

The following users have been banned from replying to this thread permanently, for especially aggregious spamming of this thread with off-topic political shit:

The Wall

Let this be a warning to everyone involved: we do not put up with taking over threads in GRPG with off-topic crap, no matter the game and no matter the nature of the thread in GRPG. If you, especially those of you who have been banned from this thread permanently, are caught shitting up other threads in GRPG, you face further sanctions. And by further sanctions I mean probably being shuffled off to rusty's forum or even worse. Again, if there's one thing that's not tolerated here at RPG Codex, it's fucking with our precious RPG subforum.

If any of you wish to continue the political shitflinging back-and-forth that was severed from this thread, you can do so here.

Now back to talking about the game. And ONLY the game.

Edit: Bester has pointed out to me that Infinitron actually moved this thread into Politics on the 21st of April (which I hadn't noticed) so all the off-topic posting in it after that was technically fair game. What isn't fair is to ban anyone who did that from replying to this thread (because of the move), especially permanently, so I've changed my mind.

Please don't post any more off-topic shit in here, however, whether political in nature or not. Keep it about the game or related to the politics specifically in the game.

Okay, so we're back online.

So, how do you do, fellow Russian games enjoyers?
