In the previous presentation titled “A Close Look Into The Reveal Trailer”,some viewers made me aware of several video interviews involving the lead developers of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. So for today’s topic,I share with you some of the key findings from those discussions,and give my interpretation of what it could mean for the upcoming sequel. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a medieval rpg game set in 15th century Bohemia,developed by Warhorse Studios and published by Deep Silver.

I really hope they don't go back on Henry's new appearance because he looks fantastic
agreed
Oh, you know the games not gonna look this good. They might change Henry along with the animations when it comes time for release.
Even so, I bet it'll be amazing.
I'd imagine it's way too far in development for them to change it now
You don't level to 20 strength and not look at least something like KCD2 Henry
Two things regarding combat, I dont remember from which interview it is specifically, surely from some of the czech language videos, probably the one with Viktor Bocan (it's a shame that it doesnt have a good english subtitles, he is quite funny guy, great to listen to when talking about games):
- reduction from 5 to 4 directions of hits is probably not gonna be diagonal (so I think more like a cross, up, down, left, right), because diagonal directions were problematic for players to hit in KCD1, as developers found out after the first game was done. People were not used to it and were very often missing combos.
- the master strike system should be heavily reworked, specifically to disable a "perfect blocks" way to win a fight, which brought a lot of players to defensive combat style. Now offensive style should be as viable as defense when fighting enemies.
I think that will be the use case for combo's, but your attack will likely come in at the angle of your mouse position vs the centre of your view WITHING the bounds of one of the four cardinal directions.
In that way, we should be able to apply strikes at areas we want to hit (once we get good), rather than being restricted to a general attack somewhere towards one side or another.
I do agree that a cross pattern would be a lot simpler to grasp when attacking from left,right,and top,but I'm wondering how they'll handle low strikes which are done at an angle on either side.🤔
Diagonal is more likely, because in real life sword fighting you are fighting within those 4 diagonals. So if they care for historical authenticity, it will be diagonal.
@@ThatOtherGamer Good point. I was thinking it would (kind of like how you could partially control direction of strikes) be angled to the mouse direction from centre. In that way, if you want a low strike from the left, you move the mouse low left. If they do it this way though, there's going to be some zone control issues.
Thinking more on it, diagonal strike zones seem to make more sense.
Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing this iteration of the design. This combat system blew my mind. Hopefully they're able to balance out the prefect strikes more too.
Viktor Bocan also mentioned that you have to take care of your firearms otherwise they might explode in your hands.
I really hope they make it so you can block master strikes, they were a pain in the first game because it heavily discouraged aggressive combat because your opponent would just constantly animation lock you into them. Big reason why combos always felt useless, because more than 50% of the time I'd be master striked trying to complete them.
I think it would of been better if instead of master strikes they added some sort of riposte system. The first game had something similar where if you chambered an attack before a parry you could quickly follow up, but a proper implementation would be better.
That's why you do a fist run. There's only like two animation locks, and it only happens against the highest level enemy's, and you can avoid it if you just step back or perfect block (it's more like a perfect dodge when unarmed)
Agreed. As much as I liked the idea,it really is too OP.
They changed the system
Time jump is 2days. Its time which takes jurney from Rataje to Trosky castle. Its official by developers.
In an interview with Czech Radio, the developers said that the older look is more due to the finer models and the fact that the actors themselves have aged a bit. They also admitted that the look of the faces might still be subject to some minor corrections.
I think we will be meeting king Wenceslaus IV in KCD II.
Developers said that the game focuses more on the troubles of kings, instead of bandits in the country side.
"Congratulations sir knight! You have become a man!" Could this be a hint that we will be officially knighted by king Wenceslaus IV?
King Wenceslaus IV got released/rescued from captivity in 1403-1404 and he travelled first to Kuttenberg and then to Prague. This would fit into the timeline of the game.
Honestly I think the sentence is pronounced by Sir Istvan Toth. And for me it's sounds like his last word before Henry kill him...
@@GiorgioLupi Yes, most certainly! But I doubt he would be calling us a knight just because we look like one. I think we will be officially knighted AND then we get to kill him.
Interesting video. Thanks for the shout out.
Great work with the interview,it was well conducted. Thanks for watching,K.A.👍
@@ThatOtherGamer My pleasure. You got a new sub now anyway. Keep up the good work.
Likewise! I'm now subbed on your channel.😎👍
Dude mad respect for the effort you went through for us. Super cool video man. I also love how you’re not trying to be someone. You’re just chill and you
Thanks for watching,C.D.👍
He’s just HD Henry. He looks younger in other parts of the trailer.
I wasn't hyped like this for a long time, hope they release a demo
Yes,a demo would be nice.
im so hyped. There will be castle defense from my analysis. it was a bummer in previous game there is no defensive battle from castle because the castle is so realistic its going to be a great experience.
For sure there will be castle defenses; But just like what Mr.Bocan said,Henry will
just be a participant because it's a hero-focused story.
Imagine you go to a forest and then you leave forest and you can't jump anymore because you carry too much, because you are in the sequel and you have to unlock all your skills and perks again. 😀
9:28 - few visits in a Czech pub make a difference 😀
You could also be a very big time jump as jumping to when the Husite Wars are in full swing since that still falls in line in the matters of kings
There is a 3 hour interview from VOX with Daniel Vavra, the creator. I believe it has subtitles in english
Henry was around my age in the first game now he is around my age in this one, it all works out, if there is no time jump then that's okay it won't break my mind too bad.
Yes,it all works out regardless. The important thing is that he's all grown up ,just like you did.👍
If you want details on the game look no further. Just read my comment. You'll find proof on other CZcams videos but I'll package it right here. All of it. Fishing can't be ruled out yet. Swimming can't be ruled out yet. There is a separate button for lifting or lowering your helmet visor. Visor down still interrupts your in game vision and view of the world. Other returning characters. Godwin is back with same actor and voice. Wear and tear on clothes and weapons are more in depth now. Blacksmithing is back and just as deep as alchemy. Cats are in the get now. You can get branded which will have a negative impact on Henry. And the scar left over will have an everlasting effect on Henry on that playthrough. Crime has been overhauled. Combat is just a brutal and hard. But can be adjusted for newbies who like things easy. Same with lock picking. Horses react and handle better along with your characters movement in the game. Everything has been expanded and enhanced in the game. Only 1 bohemoth of a map. With only 1 loading screen. It's like 2 maps in 1. Just very very huge. Only time you have a load screen other than loading the game up is when you load into the other area of the map! That's it. You can straight back and go back the other way go wherever you want to. Just only 1 loading screen between the map! You don't have to load up a separt map or anything like that. Hope this helps
Actually swimming is ruled out. Tobi said so in one of the German interviews iirc. The only time Henry is swimming or something similar is in the scene with Hans which we saw in the trailer
So no swimming? But we see Henry go swimming with his friend in the trailer. Damn
@@eyvin_helvetia Not enough bodies of water to cross I think, just by memory I dont think we will see any major rivers like in KCD1.
I don't think it's an artistic choice. I think it's a technical one. I.e. it was easier to scan modern Tom than to update 6+ years ago Tom. I don't know what effort might have been required to de-age him, but I think that was a consideration as well.
Good work
I don't worry about the appearance change, but someone needs to import Henry's KCD2 model to KCD1 for continuity sake. I will gladly donate for that specific mod.
what do you mean?
kcd2 henry looks like he is 10 years older
he is like 16 in first game
if anything someone needs to make a mod for henry to look younger.
but i guess medieval 16 year old peasant would be looking much older because of a harsher life he would've lived.
Thank you
Thanks for watching,A.S.👍
combat zone - four zones will be Cross..because according analyzes people have problem to make any combo.
I never understood the problems with the combat system other than perfect blocks. I literally beat Hagen Zoul with my fists so i don't get it 🤷♂️
I hope they they redesign combat sound effect.. it was really dull sometimes in kc1
Good point,I agree that aspect needs improvement.
The time skip is 11 years, and will likely end with the peace treaty being signed, and start back up with the death of Jan Hus.
We'll be seeing the period between 1414 and 1419. As far as I'm aware, Henry in the first game is only 16-18 years old. By the time of the Hussite wars, he'd be about 30 and - as a warrior - near his physical and experiential prime.
I think that is what we're going to be seeing.
It’s been confirmed that this one picks up 2 days after the end of the first one. However I do believe there will be a time jump but not as many years. All I remember is Dan Vrav years ago said the story was like 2 year time frame but things could’ve changed.
What if you're both right? It starts 2 days after, following with Henry getting his revenge against Markvart & Istavan (who I reckon you'll be able to actually somewhat help as a twist) as a sort of "epilogue to KCD and long tutorial to KCD2"- and then jump in time to 11 years later for the hussite wars. Would be the best of both worlds!
The story is happening two days after the first one
i doubt it considering henry looks 10 years older in some of the cutscenes
maybe there will be time skips during the main story?
which i would not like
@@spatrk6634 i got it straight from daniel vavras interview (the director) in czech.
I don't 5 star, is changing to 4
1vs3 enemies will naruto saske ninja dash i finite chain combo head blows
High levels of adrenaline, cortisol and testosterone can make you age really quickly...
Another fact. The Soldier who is yelling ,,Take cover!´´, Has a crest of Isle of Man.
Similar, but it seems that it is actually the arms of a Kuttenberg noble, Piskove of Hradenia, who was also the owner of the fort of Suchdol, which was besieged around this time.
Great video, if you'd ever need a help with translation from czech to english, hit me up.
I hoped for a new protagonist but I'm still excited for the game and think it will be at least a good one. That Henry needs to relearn everything because something happened to him sounds a bit shoehorned in imo.
He will not have to relearn everything
KCD 2 is definitely not taking place in 1403. From what we already know it is clearly 1421 and maybe 2 years before. It because those guys in red we keep seeing are 100% Utraquists (Sub-faction of Hussites based Prague) so Hussite wars (1419-1434) are basically confirmed. As well as major location is Kuttenberg where major battle takes place in 1421. Which is probably that siege they keep showing us.
Meleš blbosti.😄 Samotní tvůrci potvrdili, že děj bezprostředně navazuje na jedničku.
The game starts one day after KCD 1 ended.
@@mightymet7062 But majority is taking place in 1421. For sure. Because Hussite warriors are non-existing outside of Hussite wars and they are in trailer. Also Hussite wars is n.1 event in Czech history. The whole purpose of setting KDF1 that close of it, was to prepare us for it. There was never any doubt of it.
@@motdurzazbratislavy6802 No, the game is set in 1403.
Interview Warhorse with German GameStar:
- A challenge was composing those profane melodies (even if they had a text), as only religious chants survived time. But they composed new tracks (like drinking music) in a style that would be believable for Bohemia in 1403.
- No seasons; KCD1 was early summer, KCD2 is summer
@@mightymet7062 Look I am claiming in on historically based proofs. How do you explain, that iconic millitary force existing since 1419 is here, if this is suppossed be 1403? I don't care if prologue starts in 1403, but hussites are here, and battle of Kuttenberg is also not happening in 1403. There is just no way around this.
Besides when they said 1403, I was sure, they are summarizing KCD 1 at that moment.
I hope they have fixed the nausea inducing camera. That kept me from getting in to the game which is shame since it looked like a fun game. However that was there loss. Like always Pre order at your own risk. The same goes for hyping.
Gossip: Overwhelming theme in the reveal?---BLACK/DARK/BLEAK/CHURCH.....FUNERAL/WAKE??
My guess is we lose Henry.
Hope not because then warhorse would pull a ubisoft and forget about the opening scene in KCD 1 where Henry is the one narrating the events that let to the first game.
