Kingdom Come announced - Realistic open-world first-person Medieval RPG
- Thread starter -SD-
- Start date
Well it's their fault to name a medieval game with this name, where it makes no sense, where it made sense for the graphic novel. (Which is probably one of the best comics ever made, in my top 10 easy at least)
All in all, looks interesting, maybe the combat system will be good. Maybe.

How can you even make that claim so confidently?
You have no idea if the name "makes no sense" for the game.
Well, it's good, but not *that* good, I can think of a lot of better ones.
That said, it's annoying. I see updates in the thread subscription and I come in expecting updates or comments about the game, not people who only contributes with "I thought it was something else entirely, I leave disappointed", especially when the thread title makes absolutely clear what we are talking about here.

An expression taken from the Lord's Prayer doesn't make sense to be used as the title for a game set in the medieval era, which will (presumably, if it indeed lives up to its promises of authenticity) heavily feature religion?

Looks good, but the name...
Lose 'deliverance'. You don't need a fucking subtitle for the first game in the series (if it is indeed), and something like that turns it from short and snappy into Dumb Videogame Name: The Revenge. And taking the same name as an iconic movie AS WELL as a massive DC comic is another misstep. [/rant]
actual game looks nice though.

I need to have this game.
Crytek give this combat in Ryse 2.
The teaser shows big progress from older footage and is using the newest iteration of CryEngine.
What a pity that they are struggling to find publisher or funding ;\
Kickstarter will probably fail, because they are counting for something like 4-5m$ in funding.
Btw Eurogamer has more info

I think that Crytek should just fund them. It would be the best of both worlds.

Well true, i just thought of the meaning of the quote itself more than what it could mean globally. I accuse my lack of coffee.
Same thing really, I wrote too fast.
This is awesome and so true. They look like two cats pawing each other we need a gif of this!

I bought Mount & Blade for my medieval fix but couldn't get passed the jankyness. This looks like it might be what I'm wanting.
Did someone mention there's a Kickstarter?

Yes, I do like it.

"..so the body movement, it was not.. the front direction, it was always... it was always side-steps!"
DARK SOULS.
Today I learned that medieval Europe had neither kingdoms nor religion to allude to.
Interesting.
I know its really early, but that gif has some janky looking combat, so they'll definitely need to deliver far better to impress me there.
Hope they can deliver. After making fun of 'other' RPG's, it would be a shame if they ended up with a game that might not have these clichés, but fails in every other way.

The people in those screenshots look like they wash far too often for it to be considered realistic. If they speak Middle English, Middle French and so on with subtitles, though, I would totally pick this up.

I read the title and excitingly clicked on it without finishing reading the title expecting a game adaptation of this
Instead I got a first person RPG with some impressive combat. Not what I wanted, but pretty good none the less.

I'm having extremely high hopes because Daniel Vávra is leading this project: http://kingdomcomerpg.com/?page_id=81
Never disliked his games.

I've been following this game ever since this blog post from last year, before the game was titled or even revealed, in which the director talks about how unrealistic the landscapes of RPGs tend to be and how he'd like a realistic scale world while striking a balance with "stuff to do".

I'm loving the fact that he references Red Dead Redemption as a goal to aim for in terms of world size/content in environment.
Colour me tickled pink.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Trailer looks like a poor nextgen title, the screens actually look last gen & not even a good last gen and this is on Cryengine? what platform is this for is a indy title?
Oh dear, what is that?This is relevant to my interests.

Nice! Thanks for this! Looks interesting. 2015 is far away, though :/

That is some natural as hell lighting.
It's a RPG, combat should be the last focus it gets. There are far more important things to worry about with RPG design.

Ahahahaha, yeah. I'm all for different takes on games but right out the gate they're opening themselves up to a lot of this. That's without getting into the amount of bodies you're going to leave in your wake in the game world.

If that gif is anything to go by they've already failed in 'realistic' medieval combat

Ah so that's what their Cryengine project turned out to be.
I remember getting floored by this screen when they released it.
Yes, I too have been waiting for some information on the game, Vavra is obviously very clever judging from his blog posts and it will be interesting to see how they manage to step around issues he has brought up in them. Plus, Mafia 1 was pretty great (2 not as much so hopefully he wasn't too involved with it, haha).

Thy will be done.
It has my attention.

The viking age is a few hundred years off from when this game takes place, and that combat style only works when you have a shield. It's true that "sword on sword" isn't exactly practical, but that doesn't mean there weren't fencing styles for it. This is probably more era appropriate:

Looks good, but it's just a teaser.
