Kingdom Come: Deliverance

[Jacko]

For what it is, a single player RPG closer to Skyrim and Witcher rather than Warband, it looks great . The combat in both Skyrim and Witcher was easily the worst part of the games for me, so this looks like a refreshing take on medieval RPG combat. A compromise between freedom of movement, authenticity and playability, very much what you'd expect from the previous videos.

Edit: Just noticed the poll. I don't think it's comparable to Bannerlords, it's a different game all together.

Dodge-roll combat all the way baby

People seem to expect this to be some sort of a Warband spiritual successor just because it's set in medieval times. It's a singleplayer RPG. For what it is, the combat seems more than adequate.

The problem is that the comparison is natural and will happen whether you like it or not. For example, Warband is the reason I can't stand playing melee characters in TES games anymore. Right now it seems combat in KC:D will have less depth than that of Warband and be based more on character sheets than skill. Yes, to me those things are drawbacks. I'm not saying they are worth not playing this game, I'm just saying it could be so much better.

I'm with Kafein.

Like I wrote before: a good step forward from things like Witcher and Skyrim but it ain't the huge leap I was hoping for. Especially considering their advertisement for the combat being so innovative and new. Well, it ain't like that, is it?

The only new thing are the attack directions. Other than that it's not much different to Skyrim except for the presentation. Skyrim has a normal attack, a heavy attack and a pummel/shield strike. KC:D has a stab, a swing and some grappling... except for the presentation, you don't get that much more complexity, it seems. And both have the "one button to block them all".

I stand by it: I expected more but at least there seems to be a little improvement.

I hoped for more but didn't really expect more, the combat is still more than sufficient for a first person singleplayer RPG imo.

Well, no shit? That's obvious and has been obvious forever. They are not making a Bannerlord contender. The combat should be compared with the likes of Witcher and Skyrim.

Well the combat is going to be better than in those games, I have very little doubt about that. It all comes down to what you compare it to. I liked playing LA Noire a lot, even though I wish it had driving like that of Mafia. It's the same thing here.

Combat in TES is as bad as it can be, and about any other combat system is going to beat it.

For me it was the major turn-off on TES games.

BTW skyrim is imo overrated.

It's build on CryEngine so multiplayer could be possibly modded. Have faith!

[Xant]

But there is no point in modding multiplayer to 99.99% of singleplayer games.

What about co-op campaign?

Chris Roberts appeared on the list of our backers, and you can’t even imagine how it felt when we received an email from Chris himself. He was telling us that he likes our stuff and since his team is using Cryengine as well, they would like to cooperate with us and share some technology! Who would have thought about this 23 years ago when playing Wing Commander?

So to to make long story short – we will share some of our tools with Star Citizen team and Deliverance will most likely have some tech from Star Citizen as well. Hell yeah!

And if you don’t believe me, just listen to man himself: “It’s a rare treat when a Kickstarter announcement genuinely impresses and Kingdom Come: Deliverance has done just that,” said Chris Roberts at Cloud Imperium Games. “Kingdom Come doesn’t just look like a great game, though: it looks like something we on the Star Citizen team could learn from. The characters and outfits I saw working in-engine in the trailer impressed me so much that I contacted the team to talk about what was going on under the hood. Star Citizen doesn’t need peasants and knights… but it does need a robust character creation system for the persistent universe. And that technology is exactly what Warhorse is building for the CryEngine. The good news is: the team at Warhorse isn’t just an incredible talented group of people… they’re also kindred spirits who are willing to share the work they’ve done! We will be sharing with them the tricks for working with CryEngine we’ve learned over the last 18 months and they will be letting us in on the secrets and the tech behind what they’re doing! I’ve always said that independent developers should stick together, and the potential good for both games that can come from this unofficial partnership is proof positive!”

Sweet.

Wow, that's pretty awesome.
