Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? I Cannot Believe This.. 

neat

Among other things; I spent a week in a monastery, grinding herbs and doing chores. I don’t have such vivid memories of any other game I have ever played. If you guys have kept, or even improved on, the level of immersion I might just not sleep for a month come release 😅

Maybe metraton could visit warhorse Studio again, you know for some promotional material 😉

Probably too late, but you should hire and listen to Metatron as a consultant on historical elements like the things he brings up in this bideo!

This comment needs pinned. Can't wait to get my hands on your work again, the first was excellent. So glad for your success. All the very best for your future.

The same with Sir Hans/Luke Dale! The two both auditioned for Henry and the right choice was made, giving us the bromance of all video games.

They did change the appearance to resemble the actor of Henry. You can find the early look of Henry used in development and he looks completely different. I seem to vaguely remember that one of the devs mentioned, that was intentional, in an interview somewhere, but I might be wrong.

Something about him is inherently funny to me, and I love the southwest England accent with the rhotic R's

​@@volusian95 yea southwest english accent is gurt lush

and that voice is just legendary

yeah he looks 30

Nah he definitely looks older than 30, if I were to guess without knowing I'd give 36-37 minimum

🤣 Hey he's 42 but he's a young 42!

I was thinking 35, go metatron!

@@teresamerkel7161dawg he looks 30-35

Hope embracer doesnt do the EA thing on warhorse. Or the thing they did to the devs of Insurgency.

Embracer? how do they still exist then?

@@jormungand72 which company? Embracer or Warhorse? And if you mean warhorse, Embracer didnt close every company that they bought and they didnt fire employees. I suppose they fired the employees and closed the companies that didnt seem "worthy" to be spending money on. Tho i think that the devs of insurgency didnt get laid off.

@@jormungand72 didnt fire employees on every company*

I hate Embracer...

real. Stopped watching this channel for a while cause of the nonstop doom&gloom, so it's nice seeing him excited

It is nice to see yes. He comes by his regular annoyance honestly though. This current age with its politicizing and manipulating of history to shoehorn trans, gay and gender theory into it is annoying to me but to someone who knows it as well as he does it must be maddening..

I think it was about 120? When KCD1 was finished? On average probably 60-70 people worked on it.

@@arminius504 Not sure about the precise number but it just wasn't 11 people. That was a bit misleading but I know it wasn't intentional. What Dan Vávra wanted to say was that they started with 11 people but everybody took it the wrong way.

@@martinzemek5798 Yeah, this is right. 11 people at the beginning, about 120 when the game got released.

​@@WarhorseStudios , Jesus Christ Be Praised

@@WarhorseStudiosLove you guys

It was planned but cut from the game because they couldnt make it work in time

They wanted crossbows for the first game, tried to implement them, but had to scrap them for budgeting reasons.

OMG, I pray they bring him back just so I can hear Brian Blessed. Warhorse really understood and went all out on the assignment. The game is an utter masterpiece as is but they also threw him into mix. He’s famous for his role in black adder as the king and just exudes a wholesome, larger than life, medieval vibe. Warhorse as a studio must have some kind of magic crystal ball, or a phone number for the Lords heavenly secretary as they; created a 24K golden artwork, adorned it with gemstones and other lavish and luxurious items, popped it up on 150ft marble pedestal, and then proceeded to get right to work on the next. They are genuinely a role model for all other studios and deserve all their praise, respect and success.

It's actually well made that Konrad Keyser was in game because he was from 1402 "somewhere in Bohemia" so they use it and we have him in game 😂

@@jamesh1758 Yep, would luv to see Brian Blessed back as the engineer

Czechs are good pick for medieval historical game, because unlike many US companies they actually know history.

Yeah, navigation would be a nightmare.

I believe that’s why game doors r so big as well, in all games, which usually makes ceilings higher as well

Think he's referring not so much to shops and huts, but to architecturally significant buildings

Yeah, that's one of the concessions to historical accuracy they had to make in favour of gameplay. With perfectly historically accurate architecture, every NPC would have to crouch slightly when passing through a doorframe, which would just break the game.

​@@qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm3937 yes, that is another thing - some doors in middle ages were shorter and smaller. In KCD and other games, all doors are perfect for the player to enter without the need to bow down, but that was in many cases not possible. And it is not because people were shorter, they were short, but not that short.

That is exactly why I travel so much

Yes it's Mělník

There ain't dutches in CZ. Use of feudal titles is forbidden by law from 1918.

@@vendasch666 yes I think he meant that the person was from noble family rather than using the title, as in Czech republic we have many noble house's just not officially usable titles

​@@vendasch666Kníže Karel Schwarzenberg wants to know your location.

This would be awesomesauce. 😂

I hated him at first but he was my favorite character in the end lol

@@John-mf6kyfor me I always knew hans was based. Even when he was an ass he was funny.

🇨🇿 Same here. Kingdom Come is great.

You and me both.

taky

Přesně

Why would you? You're not involved in the making of the game.

Gay

@@DylanJo123 Thanks!

@@DylanJo123you wish you were as gorgeous as Metatron

if only i could be so grossly incandescent...

What kind of AI generated bot content is this

I hope The same Button can Be used to pull The Hood up or down, while using a Hood with no other headgear

​@@anttitheinternetguy3213Probably not. Because it is a game with a firstperson view. The hood doesn't impair your view, so you can't see it. The hood can be removed as a layer of clothing only in the inventory. I see no reason why it should be different in KDC 2.

@@martinsacha3229 for role playing reasons, its an rpg after all! If There is a Button to lower The visor its propably useless without an helmet, so why not use it to pull your Hood up or down, i always hoped to Be able to use The Hood pulled over your head in kcd 1. And there is a mod or glitch to do it If i remember correctly

@@anttitheinternetguy3213 Technical reasons. There's only so many buttons on a controller (less of an issue on PC, but the game's functions have to translate across platforms). Given that hood and helmet are most likely in different equipment slots, there would be a need to assign different commands for that. Given there is no gameplay reason to do it, they likely won't. What could be done is a prompt in the inventory when you equip the hood to ask if you want it up or down, or a simple command in the inventory menu. But an in-play shortcut seems to be more hassle than it's worth to create. EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised however if our friends on the modding scene came up with something on PC. Considering the game uses CryEngine (or a heavily modified version of it), the game files should be accessible and somewhat easy to modify, from AI to textures or values. It's not the easiest out there, but reasonably so compared to others. You just need a solid coding knowledge, provided the studio doesn't too heavily encrypt files or modify the engine to breaking point. Edit edit: made a short dive and it turns out it might be slightly more complicated because the engine is so modified that even the latest official CryEngine updates aren't compatible with KCD's version. So you'd need old timers that are familiar with it and have the old tools (unless the studio provides the tools, which isn't unheard of).

Originally, they wanted massive battles but various factors made it impossible. So, maybe that will happen with this one.

Also the combat a wee bit less janky

Hope they add gore

It looks awesome so far. I can't wait until it comes out.

You aren’t the only one who noticed the blacksmith with apparently iron hands. Those were definitely not longbows (of the English type) if for no other reason that the stance and posture of the archers was completely wrong. Recurve bows are entirely appropriate for an eastern European region of the era, and so are crossbows of course.

I think the devs stated that the story of Henry of Skalitz will conclude in KCD2. One way or another all of the plot threads will be weaved into a hopefully satisfying tapestry. Although if the second game will be a major hit with a wider audience to the same degree that the first game was with its niche fans, I definitely think the studio will at least consider making another game in the genre, or even a sequel focused on a different main character.

That'd be awesome! Imagine defending a Hussite wagon fort or alternatively attacking one.

Oh no you know how f*cking big Prague is the game would have to only be set in the city of Prague or have a completely seperate map.

I think there won't be another game in Prague, because of its size and the creators' obsession with realism. For example, in Kutenberg, they allegedly dropped 4 streets against the historical reality and they were unhappy about it. They would have to make Prague a third. A studio with 250 people is big, but compared to the biggest ones, it's still quite a bit smaller. Daniel Vávra said in an interview that Prague would only be possible to create with the further development of IA.

@@fillosof66689 Given that they positioned themselves as a "historical games studio", similar to how other studios get a reputation for their niche style then bring it to wider audiences by sticking to it (very recently Larian with CRPGs for instance, or once upon a time Bioware), I wouldn't be surprised if they stuck to their guns. Maybe another era, another area, but I'd wager they will stick to "bringing history to life" in their games. The 30 years war or the Napoleonic wars (Austerlitz is in modern-day Czech republic) could be a big pan--European project for instance (and the EU loves that stuff, so it's a non-negligible source of funding). CDPR got EU money for The Witcher 3 Blood & Wine DLC for instance, on the grounds that it was spreading folklore, culture (showcasing both Polish folklore and modern literature, and a France-adjacent culture) and showcasing modern capability on the continent. You can see the Creative Europe Media logo in the trailer).

It does yes, but it’s auto not user input

Also it’s didn’t show you raises the visor during cutscenes

wouldn't most of them NOT have been fighting with swords?

@@theforsakeen-9014swords were very common

Swords were very expensive, just like (good) armor.

@@theforsakeen-9014You can fight with maces and war hammers in KCD 1 right?

​​@@evertjan9479depends the well made swords was expensive, but cheaply made swords was more common.

I see what you did there

Would be cool if Metatron would replay the first one and do more of a deep dive on his experience with and opinion on the game. Especially since he could now review all the DLCs.

I'd be in for that. :)

lol its only 6 years lol thats not at all very long , but im supposing you're a young feller and six years would be a large potion of your life , but for me its less than an eleventh of my lifetime (so far) im 67 (almost old enough to have met Henry in person lol lol lol lol)

​@@davecannabisNot really. The progress in the gaming field gets faster and faster, and many games look old and obsolete two years after release. This was especially apparent between 2010 and 2012 when the biggest quality leap occured, but it's still a thing. Death Stranding looked bad two years later. Witcher 3 looks bad now. Etc... It's rare to see a game with 'realistic' graphics holding on so well. It's mostly stylized games like Borderlands that keep looking good years later.

@@strpg9938 i think KCD still looks good , but im fairly fanging for KCD2, just hope it comes out before i die!!! ( im pretty ill and will not ever get better )

@@davecannabis It's a matter of preference. There are games that I personally think look gorgeous, but in reality are horrible (MGS1 wink wink). Then, there are games that look exactly as they should (DOOM, Prehistorik). Then, there are things that look great no matter what year it is (Ori, Diablo). Then there are games that hold well to anyone's surprise (KCD, The Saboteur). Then, there are games that fell behind (Witcher 3, SWTOR, NWN). Wish you the best of health available for as long as possible, man.

@@strpg9938 thank you , i know i will enjoy kCD2 i immensely like i did KCD

One of the best RPGs of all time. The soundtrack 🤌🏻🤌🏻 So immersive. You will not be disappointed.

You definitely wont regret it. For me it's "better Skyrim".

Just beware the combat is like nothing you saw before and you need to understand it and train it.

Skyrim blows ​@@Nathan_Coley KCD definitely brought me back the feeling from Oblivion though the actual better Skyrim

@@FlyingNazgul-wm1dv Skyrim was my first exposure to the franchise.

Glad to hear it!

Sounds great

You'll also have a button for opening the visor

Tbh it would only be weird if most people wanted to always play a poor peasant in their fantasy lives.

@@Wintermute909 reenactment is not LARP.

Similar to a couple of Airsoft players I knew. Everybody wants to portray special forces, commandos and other "Elite" units. I personally prefer the common infantry grunt.

What were the articles saying?

What articles?

@@nietzchepreacher9477 that it was going to be "diverse".

@@SergioLeonardoCornejoThat’s all ragebait and anyway diverse refers to the different ethnicities that would’ve been in and around Kuttenberg

I literally don't give a shit. Make the game good and that's all that matters.

Same

Aren't you lucky haha my comment posted 5 seconds behind yours

@@wintersbane9185 this the last game in the story. It was originally going to be an trilogy however they combine the story of the first two games into the first game.
