@@noamias4897 they're not making a game from scratch this time. Just like he says it's the first game + improvements and new story. Sure it won't be 100% bug free, but imo it will be much better on release then first one. Also as a person who've played Cyberpunk 2077 on launch and loved it - I don't really care if the game has bugs if it's good otherwise.
@beachslap7359 what ? You can still get it day 1 without a pre order and be a smart consumer waiting for reviews before you purchase. Not sure why this video changes your stance on pre orders
I remember talking to some people about what I like and don't like about the first game. My biggest disappointment was that there is no sequel. A month later, they introduced it and I was reminded of it nearly 70 times over.
@@OrangeDragon04I’m leaving this comment just for the channel creator to know he made a comment about time period kcd2 is based on and basically threw the true church in dirt saying we accepted ransom for bad stuff oh brother in Christ to not disrespect us and do your homework we saved the world respect it
I have a feeling once the game comes out, there will be a wave of negative review saying ''It's KCD 1.5'' but, any die hard fans wants exactly this.: kcd polished and wih new content.
I’ve already been seeing comments like that, or one where it said “They somehow made the graphics in the second one worse than the first.” And honestly, there’s just some people that want this game to fail for various reasons. But all in all, this is everything I’ve been wanting and more out of a sequel to kcd. No gutting the mechanics to appease everybody and neglect their fans, no price gouging, none of that. It’s as Neon said, it’s a 5 year polished Kingdom Come Deliverance 1, with more to do and a continuation of Henry’s journey. And honestly that’s all I could want! But notice how people are saying that about this game, yet weirdly enough people didn’t say that about God of War: Ragnarok when it came out 🤔
@@raskolnikov6443 Oh same Like, I’m glad they made some changes and it sounds like fighting more than one person will be doable, but I would feel so let down to get good at the system of the first game only for them to give it like a Skyrim, or Chivalry combat system I love Warhorse for sticking to their guns, especially because I find that those said guns are great 🙌🏻
@@Gooeygiuseppealso this for the souls series, there is some slight difference but its literally the same game with different content, same fight mechanics and heals and buffs, no difference buuut because its popular its fine, I hate people so much
@@raduadochitei2728 lmao literally That’s how a bunch of series’ are, but this one has to work twice as hard for half the recognition Oh well though, pretty much nothing will change my feelings towards Warhorse(unless they turn into Ubisoft for some dumb reason)
I am so pumped for this game. Started a new play through of KCD and I'm going to save ridding off into the sunset for launch day of KCD2 so I can get the end credits for KCD1 and immediately boot up KCD2.
Dude, amazing idea! I’m gonna do that too, once I’m done getting all the achievements, I’ll start another playthrough doing all the choices I want to carry over to the next one
@@imarag1193 Well, I think they meant that not every single one Henry makes has an effect in this one, but some of the bigger decisions I’m sure will have more weight to Henry’s journey(Like being with Theresa)
@@Gooeygiuseppe yeah you right I just want to know how many choices would be brought over to the second one. It’s probably not as much as The Witcher 3 for instance.
@@imarag1193 Idk either, and that’s something I’m curious about too. I know they for sure would have to address Theresa, but I found it odd that they addressed whether you beat Hans or not in that little duel, so who knows honestly
CATS. Best reveal. Also super reassuring I can set my game so Henry isn't a cheating bastard. Theresa deserves better lol I'm literally so excited for this game
I'll try all choices simply because I want to experience all possible outcomes, whenever there are multiple options in a game I usually have to try them all, though for me personally I think having Henry say he's with Theresa and having him stay faithful is the proper choice. Henry would be a moron to cheat on her.
Came for the KCD2 coverage, stayed because I have the attention span to handle it, got rewarded with a reference to a Megadeth deep cut. Well done, sir! Hope you're feeling better!
The first Kingdom Come game was such an underrated gem. I’m shocked it’s not talked about in the same breath as the absolute greats, like Baldur’s Gate 3. Witcher 3, Dragon Age: Origins and other timeless RPG classics. From great game mechanics, story and side quests. Kingdom Come: Deliverance has all the criteria to be mentioned among the all-time greats. Can’t wait to play the new one!
Staying with the original KCD feel and mechanics is perfect. Great example of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. They struck gold the first time. Really glad to see better combos in combat though
Warhorse sticking to their vision is not just great, I think it's imperative for this game. Giving too much credibility to the critics of some of the more "hardcore" mechanics and ways KCD did things would just likely dilute the experience. Sometimes the lack of comfortability and ease of use is just really important for immersion. I think Daniel Vavra is great in this aspect: he's stubborn and confident enough to stick to the vision, and he seems to be fairly good at distinguishing between baseless and warranted criticism.
Going on a pilgrimage to raise your low reputation? I love the sound of this! It's a perfect way to raise it as a high reputation (at least in KCD) is mostly a cosmetic feature so it doesn't force anyone to go on a time consuming walk to raise it. But as I loved the monastery quest and Johankas DLC I find this a brilliant addition which increases immersion!
Díky!Thanks for all of your videos. I have been watching u from the start of your UA-cam channel.Your videos helped me with depression and as a Czech i am happy to see the second masterpiece from warhorse get your attention. Thx for everything fellow knight
Everything is music to my ears, thank you for putting this together Neon! The part about no more fighting the camera during combat made me breathe a sigh of relief - especially those group fight moments genuinely made me quit KCD for long periods. And the polished crime system and stealth makes me want to give a more rogueish Henry a try. 😈
It's refreshing to see a studio allocate a healthy six months of debugging, even if the game is feature ready. Let Warhorse remain free of "corporate policies" and "market considerations" until the end. They already killed CDPR, no more.
I think one game where the sequel character power scaling is quite different is the Batman Arkham games with the sequels mostly starting you where Batman was at end of previous game. Except with Arkham Knight where you are not just as powerful but early into the game it just powers you up even further by insane degree.
Not only that you will play as Godwin...CEO confirmed another playable character in base game. It was interview in czech so most youtubers do not noticed...in summer game fest trailer game was narrated from father Godwin, he is on advanture to find Henry and Hans.
There are two simple solutions - practice and thoughtful approach, both to be deployed by you. The more you practice a particular skill the better you get and the easier it gets (your irl self will get used to the mechanics while the game character will increase its stats); as for the saving system, the potion saving is there to force you play reasonably as if it would be a real life. With unlimited saving players would just go straight for difficult/improbable outcomes, keep dying and reloading and as soon as they get lucky, they save the game again and do another difficult task in the same manner. With limited saves you to be strategic and consider what is worth the risk and what is not, making the game much better experience. But you have to accept the mechanics instead of fighting them.
@@MrMichalMalek yeah, but in the early game this is a very conflicting design choice. Henry sucks at everything, the player doesn't understand the systems and the cost of failure is always high, (and the game is still kinda buggy which can make things worse) so you're disinsentivized from experimenting. In my first playthrough I ended up being just a meathead, because combat is the only thing you can practice without severe risk, and completely ignored systems like stealth or archery. In my other playthroughs I am much more versatile, but it's mainly due to strategic save planning and the willingness to waste time.
Thank you! I loved that this video covered so many things others didn't. Also, audio nerd here and I absolutely care a lot about audio quality. More than the visuals, usually. So thank you for addressing this!
The thing about kcd is it doesn't hold your hand. That's why majority of people hate it. It's a challenge. That's what I want. If I don't have a corniary I don't want it
Great stuff, you got me very excited for KCD2! I am glad Warhorse did not feel the need to change the unique systems they had in place too much. Thanks for this great overview, and get well soon!
Can we expect something like, what happened in Assassin's Creed 2 to Brotherhood? A slight Graphical and Gameplay improvement, while keeping its roots mostly the same? One thing I wanted to ask was, how do the crossbows handle? How do they clash with the bow in terms of power, speed, usefulness and user friendliness? I play on console, so I never bothered with a bow in the first game, but a steady crossbow sounds way more usable for consoles than a bow.
I know that crossbows drain your stamina while you aim them(I’m sure that goes away or is minimized the higher skill level you have), but I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be much easier to use than the bows
What I hated about the first game was that you often ran into bushes that felt like rocks. That broke immersion. Hopefully running and horse riding works better now.
i dont mind you cant go thru them but there were many times i was stuck in a bunch of bushes.i was stuck in a world of bushes for like 10 mins one time. which is also stressful when you havent saved in awhile
That system where you decide what you did last game through dialogue is such a great idea. I was wondering how the game would account for everything you did if you played the first. Really cool substitute to importing save files. Cannot wait!
I saw so many other people talking about KCD2, and I was wondering if you were invited too to Kuttenberg. Glad that you were and i am happy to see your opinion of the game and that you find it good. I am so hyped !!! Big fan of your videos and I hope you'll recover soon !
I especially love how the mail collars look, they look soooooo much better now, and the armor looks like it fits to the characters much better and more accurately
I wonder if the presence of these dialogue choices means that there won't be a save transfer system. The Witcher 3 had both as you could either transfer your Witcher 2 save or "simulate" it with ingame questions.
@@peterk2735 It's been a few years since I last played The Witcher 3 however I do recall that there was at least one minor choice that you could only influence by importing a save (aside from the tattoo that you can get in one of the Witcher 2 quests and which cannot be added by simulating a save)..
@@electricindigoball1244 the most important one was an additional side quest including Letho (if you let him alive in W2) and then bringing him to Kaer Morhen for the fight with the wild hunt. Pretty neat i would say
Tobi is a king! Fantastic video, gives me way more hope because I couldn't stay in Cologne for Gamescom. I was there for ONL and was prob the only screamy voice in the audience :D
I’m so glad I can keep Theresa as my love interest. So many games just throw traditional marriage/romance out the window and pretend previous engagements didn’t exist.
I pre-ordered gold version of this game and I know I'll be going through everything this has to offer like I did with original. After all I myself have around 700 hours spend in it.
Literally same. I preordered the pc collectors edition the second it was available, and I know I’m gonna dump A LOT of hours into this, I know it’s gonna be great
The fact that he came over a wrote down what happened as you play tested the game gives me huge confidence in there team because it takes a big man to see a mistake and fix it wow that’s amazing 👍🏿
Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts with us even when you were feeling under the weather. Hope you feel better soon! And congratulations on getting invited to this exclusive event. I've been following your channel since the very first Witcher 3 video. It's awesome to see how much its grown in just two years. I wish you continued success!
Exactly what i wanted from it. O nly problem i had with the first game was the early game combat and getting ambushed by multiple enemies (especially at night so i can't see without a torch meaning no shield) and random peasants or bandits being fully trained knights. Everything just needed the polishing that comes with being a bigger studio and having more time/people. Also glad they haven't rushed it
I hope the modding community adds some new rare potions. Since I plan on playing with a mod so I can save any time there is not much use from alchemy except for poison/night vision potions.
13:35 30fps on console would be a disaster, there's no way any game should run at 30fps on the consoles we have today and I can say right away I'm flat out not buying it if it's on 30, those days should be behind us by now. So here's to hoping they fix 60, I rather sacrifice some graphical fidelity in favor of better framerate, I really don't need to see every last cell inside a flower when inspecting it close-up.
I think he’s probably just thinking that it might be that way. When he talked to the devs a few months ago they said they were working on getting it up to 60 on consoles I don’t know for certain, but that’s what I’ve heard so far, I hope that he’s wrong for console players sakes
The consoles we have today are outdated for some time my friend. The PS5 has somewhat the power of an rtx 3060ti, which isn‘t powerful anymore. 60 fps would be possible with things like dlss/frame generation or the amd equivalent, but we don‘t really have that on consoles - at least for now. With the „our games are unfinished but please just buy them anyways“ policy with most big studios and the fact that the current consoles are already outdated you just won‘t get good flawless 60fps games. Performance modes with worse textures etc. is the normality for current gen.
@@intensedad2827I'm not a part of the crowd that circlejerks over specs and how many polygons can fit on a screen my friend, the consoles of today are more than good enough to run this game on 60fps which really doesn't seem all that impressive enough graphically to justify lowering it to 30 just to render every individual leaf on a tree. I mean, they're medieval towns and forests, it's nothing we haven't seen before in the likes of Witcher 3. I just don't see it, the sacrifice to smoothness and overall janky feel of 30fps is not worth the little updoot in graphics. Saying that also has me a bit more confident that the devs will also realize this because I'm sure the vast, vast majority of players would sacrifice a handful of polygons for framrates.
@@tortyreus2384 its prob no the handful of polygons, its all the shit going on in the world. i dont think its a graphical issue. theres prob a rason why most RPGs have crappier graphics compared to action games or games where not a lot of stuff needs to be remembered and rendered in an open world. KCD has horrible popin, along with early cyberpunk. thats a hard problem to solve, has nothing to do with leaves on a tree. a game like red dead handled it well but its not really an RPG. the NPCs don't have dynamic inventories, and all this stuff it has to keep track of. the stream in basically has a lot of data. thats why the towns have horrible pop in, and not out in the woods somewhere, even though its not like towns have more intense graphics to render
In my mind, Henry set himself up perfectly to take over Talmberg after Divish' death. He'd marry Stephanie to maintain the estate (at least that's the public reason) but he'd be lord of the manor. Then, if he somehow becomes knighted, even as a bastard, he'd have a lot of standing in the area.
1:18 i hard agree mate, there are too many franchises that I am left being worried about their future releases because they have changed it so much from the original. All I want from kc2 is full game size expansion of the first with removal of jankiness and a graphic improvement. There is no reason to move away from what charmed everyone into playing the game the first time. Even removing jankiness I would want them to go easy, cos that was part of the fun of it too
KCD2 feels like such a simple sequel in concept which is very refreshing
KCD2 is the second chapter they promised in their crowdfund back then. i'm still mad i did not back it.

Great stuff, you got me very excited for KCD2! I am glad Warhorse did not feel the need to change the unique systems they had in place too much. Thanks for this great overview, and get well soon!
Can we expect something like, what happened in Assassin's Creed 2 to Brotherhood? A slight Graphical and Gameplay improvement, while keeping its roots mostly the same?
One thing I wanted to ask was, how do the crossbows handle? How do they clash with the bow in terms of power, speed, usefulness and user friendliness? I play on console, so I never bothered with a bow in the first game, but a steady crossbow sounds way more usable for consoles than a bow.
I know that crossbows drain your stamina while you aim them(I’m sure that goes away or is minimized the higher skill level you have), but I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be much easier to use than the bows
Havent looked forward to a game this much in years. KCD was such a treasure. I really hope they dont change too much.
My boy pebbles is still there. That’s all I needed to know.
Awesome sounds like it's shaping up to be an excellent sequel, and I couldn't tell you were sick so kudos. 👍
What I hated about the first game was that you often ran into bushes that felt like rocks. That broke immersion. Hopefully running and horse riding works better now.
Have you tried running into thick bushes out in the wild? They absolutely feel like rocks and that’s with a motocross bike, never mind a horse
i dont mind you cant go thru them but there were many times i was stuck in a bunch of bushes.i was stuck in a world of bushes for like 10 mins one time. which is also stressful when you havent saved in awhile
Henry's back and he's "very hungry".
Your videos are always well made and entertaining, good job!
Wow I almost forgot about this game, even though I loved every minute of it. So glad Henry is finally getting a sequel
I really want Henry to be able to take a small company of men around with him, Also want a lot more playlines for console instead of just two,
That system where you decide what you did last game through dialogue is such a great idea. I was wondering how the game would account for everything you did if you played the first. Really cool substitute to importing save files. Cannot wait!
Me hit funny man with big funny sword. Shwing shwing
Would be nice to have some extra big funny Zweihänder. Those unfortunately didn't seem to quite yet exist in early 15th century...
love KCD and doing a long form analysis of the first one :D, love your vids mate.
I saw so many other people talking about KCD2, and I was wondering if you were invited too to Kuttenberg. Glad that you were and i am happy to see your opinion of the game and that you find it good. I am so hyped !!! Big fan of your videos and I hope you'll recover soon !
Boinkin' people on their heads was so fun tho
"Random low level peasants master striking you.." will exist as one of the most hilarious lines I have ever heard for a game commentary.
5:50 that rabbit has to be the cutest hud element I’ve ever seen.
I can’t wait for this game, loved the first one
Very good pre-preview video. Thank you!
the Armour looks so much cleaner😶🌫
I especially love how the mail collars look, they look soooooo much better now, and the armor looks like it fits to the characters much better and more accurately
@@Gooeygiuseppefr
Great coverage! You answered all the questions I had - thank you
Theresa bros, _finally,_ we are so back.
I know it wouldn’t make a ton of sense for her to appear in this game, but it would feel awesome, loved her dynamic with Henry
Man I love Theresa but this Catherine has some, uh, style
@@afz902k Yeah she’s got some nice uh..assets
Got the Royal edition of KCD 1 for $5 a week ago and safe to say this is on my “most anticipated” list! What an awesome game
your videos are top drawer and amazing. love your work
I'm glad you cleared up the audio. I was convinced they crunched all the dialogue down to 12 bit to save storage space. Like they did 15 years ago.
So one could say Kingdom Come delivered right?
Nice one dude 👏
The Deliverance was so good that everybody Came.
Perfect timing on this one! Was literally feeling quite hungry
That sounds awesome !!!
This answered a bunch of questions I had, thanks for the hard work.
I wonder if the presence of these dialogue choices means that there won't be a save transfer system. The Witcher 3 had both as you could either transfer your Witcher 2 save or "simulate" it with ingame questions.
They said (multiple places I believe, but also to me directly after asking) that there won’t be a save import system
And honestly it’s not like the save import in the Witcher made much of a difference
@@peterk2735 It's been a few years since I last played The Witcher 3 however I do recall that there was at least one minor choice that you could only influence by importing a save (aside from the tattoo that you can get in one of the Witcher 2 quests and which cannot be added by simulating a save)..
@@electricindigoball1244 the most important one was an additional side quest including Letho (if you let him alive in W2) and then bringing him to Kaer Morhen for the fight with the wild hunt. Pretty neat i would say
İ won't watch much as i want to surprise myself with the game, but I am happy that they invited you, dude. Kudos !
Looks awesome, can't wait to play this!
Tobi is a king! Fantastic video, gives me way more hope because I couldn't stay in Cologne for Gamescom. I was there for ONL and was prob the only screamy voice in the audience :D
I’m so glad I can keep Theresa as my love interest. So many games just throw traditional marriage/romance out the window and pretend previous engagements didn’t exist.
I pre-ordered gold version of this game and I know I'll be going through everything this has to offer like I did with original. After all I myself have around 700 hours spend in it.
Literally same.
I preordered the pc collectors edition the second it was available, and I know I’m gonna dump A LOT of hours into this, I know it’s gonna be great
The fact that he came over a wrote down what happened as you play tested the game gives me huge confidence in there team because it takes a big man to see a mistake and fix it wow that’s amazing 👍🏿
Why have i watched this video so many times
Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts with us even when you were feeling under the weather. Hope you feel better soon! And congratulations on getting invited to this exclusive event. I've been following your channel since the very first Witcher 3 video. It's awesome to see how much its grown in just two years. I wish you continued success!
aw fuck yeah this fills me with delight
Epic win, good job and glad you got the opportunity!
Wonder if you can finally marry Theresa
That would be awesome, even if it’s at the very end of the game, it would be great to see their relationship come to that conclusion
Exactly what i wanted from it. O nly problem i had with the first game was the early game combat and getting ambushed by multiple enemies (especially at night so i can't see without a torch meaning no shield) and random peasants or bandits being fully trained knights. Everything just needed the polishing that comes with being a bigger studio and having more time/people. Also glad they haven't rushed it
I hope the modding community adds some new rare potions. Since I plan on playing with a mod so I can save any time there is not much use from alchemy except for poison/night vision potions.
He returned with a new KCD2 video!! Let’s goo
13:35 30fps on console would be a disaster, there's no way any game should run at 30fps on the consoles we have today and I can say right away I'm flat out not buying it if it's on 30, those days should be behind us by now. So here's to hoping they fix 60, I rather sacrifice some graphical fidelity in favor of better framerate, I really don't need to see every last cell inside a flower when inspecting it close-up.
I think he’s probably just thinking that it might be that way. When he talked to the devs a few months ago they said they were working on getting it up to 60 on consoles
I don’t know for certain, but that’s what I’ve heard so far, I hope that he’s wrong for console players sakes
The consoles we have today are outdated for some time my friend. The PS5 has somewhat the power of an rtx 3060ti, which isn‘t powerful anymore. 60 fps would be possible with things like dlss/frame generation or the amd equivalent, but we don‘t really have that on consoles - at least for now. With the „our games are unfinished but please just buy them anyways“ policy with most big studios and the fact that the current consoles are already outdated you just won‘t get good flawless 60fps games. Performance modes with worse textures etc. is the normality for current gen.
@@intensedad2827I'm not a part of the crowd that circlejerks over specs and how many polygons can fit on a screen my friend, the consoles of today are more than good enough to run this game on 60fps which really doesn't seem all that impressive enough graphically to justify lowering it to 30 just to render every individual leaf on a tree. I mean, they're medieval towns and forests, it's nothing we haven't seen before in the likes of Witcher 3. I just don't see it, the sacrifice to smoothness and overall janky feel of 30fps is not worth the little updoot in graphics.
Saying that also has me a bit more confident that the devs will also realize this because I'm sure the vast, vast majority of players would sacrifice a handful of polygons for framrates.
@@tortyreus2384 its prob no the handful of polygons, its all the shit going on in the world. i dont think its a graphical issue. theres prob a rason why most RPGs have crappier graphics compared to action games or games where not a lot of stuff needs to be remembered and rendered in an open world. KCD has horrible popin, along with early cyberpunk. thats a hard problem to solve, has nothing to do with leaves on a tree. a game like red dead handled it well but its not really an RPG. the NPCs don't have dynamic inventories, and all this stuff it has to keep track of. the stream in basically has a lot of data. thats why the towns have horrible pop in, and not out in the woods somewhere, even though its not like towns have more intense graphics to render
First game has really satisfying combat when you pull it off!
It has CATS game of the year
Kcd2 might be the 1st game I'll purchase without any discount or pre purchase, game's amazing
>KCD now has cats
But can your dog hunt them like he did with rabbits in the first game?
In my mind, Henry set himself up perfectly to take over Talmberg after Divish' death. He'd marry Stephanie to maintain the estate (at least that's the public reason) but he'd be lord of the manor. Then, if he somehow becomes knighted, even as a bastard, he'd have a lot of standing in the area.
Pebbles's back!
I hate that horse. And now he is back ..
@@Celisar1 What a great person. Kiss your sister, would you kindly...
Pre Ordered Gold and patiently waiting :)
At the beginning of the video, I thought your voice sounded odd for some reason, but I didn't think you were sick. Hope you're all better by now!
Hell yeah! That semi-simulated save system is great
Beautifully put together video, Thanks for the video brother
1:18 i hard agree mate, there are too many franchises that I am left being worried about their future releases because they have changed it so much from the original. All I want from kc2 is full game size expansion of the first with removal of jankiness and a graphic improvement. There is no reason to move away from what charmed everyone into playing the game the first time. Even removing jankiness I would want them to go easy, cos that was part of the fun of it too
