Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Yeah, that is really early in development footage, though. Like way, back when it didn't even have a name.

When it was better

Sparks are pretty realistic

Sparks are pretty realistic

Only with poor steel. I don't know whether they are supposed to be using poor steel here.

Regardless of how 'realistic' it is, the sparks shown there are just over exaggerated, if they are going to have sparks I do hope they tone them down, it is early footage so I will assume they will do so, or at least hope so.

Can't they just give a particle graphic option in the settings?

I think that would change the quality, not the quantity of the effects. But ways to implement levels of detail for such thing vary a lot between games.

If in doubt, mod it out, which might be possible lol.

ach, a shame. I would like to see a single player story-focused RPG which just copies M&B combat (and like I keep saying: combined with arx fatalis magic). Maybe this will be OK, but I share the fear that combat will not be half as good. We'll see...

17 days to raise £95k. Hope they make it, that's the only stretch goal I care about.

Looks great. I love how you can combine different layers.

Quote from their forum in a thread about combat mechanics:

Hello everyone,
if you liked the sword fighting (in general), I suggest you WAR OF ROSES.
you will find the spirit of Mount & Blade, but I find more complete.
following weapons blows and blows preparation changes.
in the same way, the defense with a shield or a sword changed the way to approach the fight.
this is currently the best system I've played.
I hope to have as much fun with kingdomcome.
in addition, the distance weapons, bows, crossbows are also playable.

Let's all hope they don't listen to THAT!

Also, this heretic in the video thinks chainmail was weak against arrows... If it was, they would have ditched the mail after less than a millenia.

[Xant]

nother weakness of maille armor is its vulnerability to thrusts from pointed weapons, arrows, and crossbow bolts, which could easily split butted rings. Riveted rings of course were significantly more resistant but could still be pierced if the projectile hit with sufficient force. (Note: Modern day tests made by various reenactment groups have demonstrated that a bow fired arrow will punch holes through maille constructed of butted steel rings while maille made with riveted steel rings will resist the same arrow.)

70lbs, 15 feet: 2 out of three arrows pierced the maille/gambeson and imbedded themselves in the pell. The third arrow broke two links but bounced off, stopped by the gambeson underneath.

^ This is with the finest modern day chainmail available. So the "heretic" is not wrong. Chainmail was used to protect against slashes.
