Game News Warhorse's Kingdom Come: Deliverance Is Now on Kickstarter

[Burning Bridges]

UI would be great, but at least the period music.

 

[cherry blossom]

Pretty shitty.

I love the idea of a live recording of genuine period music.

Symphonic orchestra sounds like a total waste, though.

Performance motion capture could help the game sell more post-release.

Playable Female Character: brace for SJW attack! And somewhat deservedly. There have been medieval women who pretended to be men and fought extensively.

 

[Burning Bridges]

Yes 2 or 3.

 

[kris]

Pretty shitty.

Yeah. Don't exactly convince me to dig deep into my pocket.

Of coruse with the state of the game I am hardpressed to come up with a couple of good stretch goals myself. Other than "more".

 

[Spectacle]

"More sidequests" would be a good stretchgoal. 30 hours playtime for an open world game is a bit on the short side.

 

[General Maxson]

This has the potential to be good. I can only imagine what would Darklands sequel could be with this kind of tech. But I fear the popamole will be too strong in this, concerning the console direction and UI and also too shallow for an deep rpg they keep spouting. If they consider Witcher a deep rpg...

 

[WhiteGuts]

Well Dark Souls is a console game, but you wouldn't call it popamole or shallow. This could be the same thing.

And the fact that they couldn't find a publisher even with something made with CryEngine is actually a good sign.

 

[cvv]

I would.

And the fact that they couldn't find a publisher even with something made with CryEngine is actually a good sign.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Burning Bridges]

What else?

And the fact that they couldn't find a publisher even with something made with CryEngine is actually a good sign.

That's the deciding point, because it proves that they are doing something differently.

 

[evdk]

"More sidequests" would be a good stretchgoal. 30 hours playtime for an open world game is a bit on the short side.

Well it is just one third of one.

 

[markec]

I like the fact that there is no "extra side quest" stretch goal (so far) since it means that they gonna put everything in game as they originally planned, since when I see stretch goals which promises extra content and are not reached I feel like im gonna get shell of the game devs envisioned.

 

[WhiteGuts]

Yeah, Dan Vavra seems like he knows exactly what he wants and what's gonna do.

 

[whitepony]

So, a monocled popamole is the best hope so far. Codex GOTY 2015

More content makes no sense anyway, because that's what act II and III are for.

 

[Kron]

First stretch goal is period music and next one is orchestra?
WTF.

Period music is amazing, but it was certainly not performed by orchestras.
It was performed by a couple of people with string instruments, a couple of voices, some flutes and a hurdy gurdy.

Orchestras generally are used to make EPIC GENERIC soundtracks.


The rest of the goals are total crap by the way.
Female character? Who wants to play as a female? Unless they provide you with the option to play as an assasin prostitute or a manipulating witch/alchemist it's pointless. Playing as a female warrior in a "realistic" medieval game and not getting mockery and sexual abuse as a reaction from the male warriors would be retarded.

 

[cvv]

Orchestra soundtrack in cutscenes.

 

[cherry blossom]

What the hell are you talking about? Take your meds, grandpa.

Yes 2 or 3.

Enough to justify it in a game, in my opinion. How many blacksmith nobodies have set out to save kings and done great many a things, after all?

 

[deuxhero]

I've yet to donate to any kickstarters and don't intend to (at least for video games that are undeveloped), but I'm curious: Does Kickstarter handle any currency conversions, or do any CC fees on foreign currency apply?

 

[Morality Games]

It's cute how the Codex still insists on the old buzzwords, like consolized, "console kids" and so on as potential problems that represents the biggest threats to new releases. Yeah this was all very funny and accurate in 2005-2012 and it's still entertaining to throw around at some discussions, but it's starting to feel outdated and retarded when you see it being used for real. Like, while we're at it, why don't we go around bashing the Atari Jaguar and the Virtual Boy as bad influences to our "monocle'd" games?

The story of the decline in gaming is the story of the Xbox. Before it, the main consoles and the PC coexisted in perfect harmony in an environment where both had awesome classics and great stuff of their own being released every year, without making the other suck. Quality in this industry is not a zero sum game. At least it wasn't. The first Xbox came and completely ruined the balance and the healthy environment that existed so far, because Microsoft is a retarded company that thought they should fuck every PC exclusive they could get their hands on and forcing a new scenario where stuff should be made for the PC and the Xbox, as a path to grow their console business without having to directly confront Sony's dominance at least for some time. They fucked the PC down to the skull until it was unrecognizable, while we also witnessed the PS2 getting quite shittier compared to the PSX. The next generation was pretty much the same shit, except now they also managed to fuck Sony to a sad state too, breaking dozens of exclusives and making it so that the standard of quality was shit like Halo and Gears of War. You can see how the PS3 is full of this kind of shit too.

Now we're starting to finally recover for good from the damage Microsoft has done to the industry, but it's just bullshit to keep going with the "hey it's consolized this sucks", because consoles aren't the source of decline (see 80's and 90's as proof); Microsoft style of building up the multiplatform haven is, and the way they took slices of the PC market to shove in their console.

Today, we're getting back to the point where, when a game is shit, it's because it's shit, not because they had to make it thinking about the limitations of consoles or the so called "console audience". If Kingdom Come sucks I bet there'll be apologists around saying it's bad because it was made with consoles also in mind, not because the devs fucked up. Yeah, just like Ultima IX was shit because it was made with consoles in mind, right?

... too much truth for one sitting.

The character is already meant to be a special snowflake destined to save the kingdom anyway, playing a chick could be the hard mode.

 

[Kron]

*Read with gruff extreme announcer voice*


A handsome, 17 years old blacksmith apprentice vows to save the kingdom from christianity after the evil templars butcher his family.

With the aid of his almost naked female independent rogue companion, will he be able to beat the odds and restore the rightful ruler?

A. Play as the sexy blacksmith.

B. Play as the sexy rogue.

A realistic medieval game!

 

[DarkUnderlord]

You really should read the info on the Kickstarter page before coming to this brilliant conclusion. I doubt having eating requirements in the game, along with food spoilage, not to mention accurate weapon and armor relationships (warhammers vs plate armor, etc) is the way of consolized bullshit. Oh and also the small bit about multiple ways to do every quest and branching dialogue options, but I guess that doesn't cut it for edginess in a 3D game.

I simply dont see any reason why should I use turn based combat with dice throws, when its possible to do simulate very realistic and sophosticated realtime combat. In real life, I dont see fencers throwin a dice when they figt

Fallout New Vegas is my favourite RPG

Skyrim is the biggest and best open world western fantasy rpg

I designed for our game could be fully controlled by joypad

No thanks.

Yes please. Sick of bullshit fps-rpgs with shit combat. Just make it FPS like M&B and have the RPG in the story choices and a few stats.

 

[Commissar Draco]

Pretty shitty.

I love the idea of a live recording of genuine period music.

Symphonic orchestra sounds like a total waste, though.

Playable Female Character: brace for SJW attack! And somewhat deservedly. There have been medieval women who pretended to be men and fought extensively.

So they were treated as men by NPCs; stick some boobs to PC model and you can have both wymynz and realism in game.

 

[majestik12]

So they were treated as men by NPCs; stick some boobs to PC model and you can have both wymynz and realism in game.

Just let the player specify if he's male or female, and keep the model the same. You play a woman disguised as man after all.

Yep this or her:

in helmet not plateboobs or chain-bikini; problem is you don't start as chosen one or daughter of Lord in this game; hiding your sex in crowded barracks will be hard to pull, well this game screams Vaporware anyway so it's all pointless discussion now.
