Yea I mean to be clear, I did play on PS5. I put a handful of hours into it and while I liked the concept and how grounded it was, I didn't actually like playing it at all.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Yup, this is the thing that made me drop the 1st game. Loved everething but the combat was atrocious. They really need a better combat system.
looks like CGI to me

It' a game that portrays Medieval Central Europe as it was historically, and not as modern day L.A or London.

I started the first one last night. I hope it gets a lot better. The janky fist fight and dung throwing isn't exactly winning me over so far. Especially with it having a getting hungry mechanic. I hate crap like that in games.

Game is probably no for you, which is fine, it's not for me either. I don't like first person perspective in games in general because it tends to give me motion sickness.
The very unique selling proposition of the game is to be a hardcore medieval sim, if you hate these types of mechanics you are then fundamentally at odds with what this game is trying to do.. and I'd advise you to drop it at the minute

Me too. But you can fix that in one sec with devmode or Wemod.
..Well, if you're on PC..
Anyway, IIRC quality food access quickly becomes relatively abundant, wasn't a problem in my experience.
..Combat also eventually becomes relatively efficient btw. Also a non-issue for me. But yeah there's definitely room for improvements..

So is it dropping today or the 18th?

trailer is dropping on the 18th, they released a new image today.
Kind of confirms that Praque will be in the game in some capacity.

Pretty sure it is actually Kuttenberg (Kutná Hora) and game will portray that.
Also they are using Cryengine with 99% probability.
Don't get discouraged by those above. Yes, fist fighting is janky. But there is very little of it in the game. Sword fighting is great 1on1 and somewhat clunky 1vMany, but doable. Hunger is not a huge problem, there are pots with food spread out through the world, plus you can buy or fnd plenty of food. But yes, this is not your average casual open world. It requires some patience, open mind and brain usage. The world, the story, the quests and unparalleled immersion are worth it though. I hope you are playing on good PC though.

Would be a great time also to bring interest to their series by announcing a PS5 patch for the first game on the same day

I’ll try more of the game. I’ve only finished the first area. I’m actually playing it on the Steam Deck. Which runs well. But you can tell the game maxes it out and the battery won’t last long. I thought it was more RPG than sim. We’ll see.

I quess we will see, if you zoom into the picture below, at the very top you can see the same type of gargoyles and same roof design.

Steam Deck runs it surprisingly well from what I tried of it, although I gotta say the game shines on big screen (I played PC version on TV).
I would say KCD is an RPG with immersive sim combined. Btw until you wake up in the mill, you are still in prologue/tutorial - it is fairly long, but should teach you the mechanics. Enable simple lockpicking in menu btw.
I think it is actually from this temple in Kutná Hora
Depends on what you mean by low budget. It had budget of around 15 million eur. Which is peanuts compared to 320 that e.g. Cyberpunk had.
But with that 15 million, they made a game that:
- has full high quality voice acting for hundreds of NPCs
- has orchestral score of incredible quality
- has 4 hours of well directed cutscenes
- has AAA quality of environmental graphics
- has 100+ hours of playtime
- is about the only truly historically authentic, non-fantasy RPG on the market
The lower budget is mostly visible in character and facial animations, which is the case for every lower budget game.
The world though..

I did break all 4 of those lock picks in the opening section. I stopped right when leaves the first town. I’ll be sure to change that setting.Steam Deck runs it surprisingly well from what I tried of it, although I gotta say the game shines on big screen (I played PC version on TV).

One of the few games that got vegetation right.
There are so many games that look fantastic when it comes to metals, plastic and stone materials, but anything natural looks like it was rendered with a Saturn in comparison.

Yeah it's fascinating that the game is more intriguing and mystique without any fantastical elements than games chock full of it. Some of the stories was just fantastic.
Reckheim

you're right, it is kutna hora
that's St Barbaras Church.
Kutna Hora was a legit city back in the day so it should still be really kool.
Man, can't wait till Thursday.

Yeah don't sweat those lockpicks. Lockpicking is pretty hard when your character's skill in it is low, even with the simplified lockpicking. But more you train it, easier it will get.

This is why I'm so pissed that games like this, RDR2, and Mafia Remake have never received a 60 fps patch. Certain games need 60 fps to play well. Games with slow animations that require precision and lots of different inputs play so much better at 60 fps. Then, you consider how relatively easy it is to actually work on a patch it's just infuriating that the devs care that little about their console audience. It's complete bullshit esp for a game like RDR2 which grossed so much money.
I know it's probably the publishers decision more than the devs but it's shitty either way!

KCD1 was one of very few Kickstarted games that actually delivered on all its promises, it became a great game and one of my all time favourites (as it should be for any history buff). I've been pestering Warhorse for years on twitter for a sequel so I'm damn glad it finally happens.

You don't want it on both? You think the xbox should get the patch and ps5 not?
Because from your quote, it sure looks like it.

It is almost 10 year old beta. Not perfect, but still better looking than most, if not all..The leaves and branches of the trees are in 2D pixels...
Is not perfect.
Also, the word you are looking for is sprites, not pixels.

Was just joking about the person I responded to only wanting it one platform.

Except i didn't say i only wanted it on one platform.....in the case of my post, the PS5. I mentioned PS5 because that's the system i have. You made an ASSumption by thinking i only wanted it PS5 only. Derpy Derp Derp

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Can't wait! I hope they improve the combat and performance while keeping the immersion and writting as good as in the first game.
Money really can't buy talent and passion.
And yet, KCD > Cyberpunk.
