Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Henry's coming to see us on February 11th

[HoboForEternity]

Deep silver forced denuvo but chadvra and team probably fought tooth and nail against it. I will fucking pre-order gold edition for that.

 

[Gargaune]

Certainly appreciate Warhorse saying no to Denuvo but I'll wait for GOG, that's my standard approach these days.

Kingdom Come 2: The Buddy Comedy Show!

A scripted live-action series starring Tom McKay and Luke Dale, the lead actors of KCD II, bringing their Henry & Hans buddy chemistry from 1403 into a modern-day setting.

Forced to tour Kuttenberg, Luke is pulled along by Tom through the city's stunning medieval streets as they explore KCD II’s in-game locations, encounter bizarre travelers, and fend off angry locals with crossbows. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[ferratilis]

No troons, no Marvel tier writing, not treating the player like a child, respect for history, and patriotism above all. God bless you, Vavra!

 

[DKunit]

It's funny how Henry and Hans are close to the same age in game, but irl Tom is almost 20 years older than Luke.

By God I want to visit Kuttenberg now

By God I want to visit Kuttenberg now

It's not as nice as in the video and some mild "tourist traps" exist despite what the video says (really shitty restaurants that survive because they don't have to rely on repeat customers), they carefully only show the best parts, but it is really nice. On top of that KCD1 locations are not far from Kuttenberg, they are less interesting on their own, but located within very nice scenery, so doing a KCD trip if you ever visit the country is not a bad idea.

Even in the videos Henry does what I want him to

But what about the bathhouses.

But what about the bathhouses.

I'm sure Czech brothels offer a wide array of options even for the most demanding customer.

 

[Paul_cz]

Really? I thought it was p. meh.

the fuck, it was fantastic. Wholesome, funny, surprisingly devoid of cringe, with glorious looking 4K footage sprinkled in. Bathhouses will be fun.

Yes, all of that, except for funny. Boomer funny maybe. Kinnda tame and safe, I missed the ol' KCD edge. Either Vavra is getting softer with age or he didn't have a say in shooting that.

 

[V17]

I like boomer humor and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

 

[Lyric Suite]

It's like an ad for a 80s show.

I'm smelling satire to be honest. Like Hans Capon being Henry trusted friend? Sure, they were friends in the original but Hans was not even close to being a sidekick to Henry.

I think the trailer is setting up the player for some real shit that's gonna happen in the game.

A lot of models/p0rnstars in the Euro scene come from Czechia.
They are rather infamous for it.
On one hand you have a beautiful country with a rich culture and a lot of tourist hot spots.
On the other hand, there's prostitution and pron...

Hans will probably play a similar role to Radzig's in the first one - one of the leaders of the rebel faction (or Wenceslas's loyalists, rather) in the Kuttenberg area so he mostly gets to sit in the hideout sipping fancy wine and sending Henry to all sorts of missions.

I don't think they've talked about the faction set up that much in interviews etc., but the CE video kinda spoiled it:

Same here. Would be interesting to know if they plan to release it simultaneously on Steam and GoG. Or if they plan to release it on GoG at all...

 

[Hag]

That's a funny and laidback trailer. Glad to see those guys having fun.

It's quite possible. Historically speaking, Jan Ptáček(who Hans' charater is based on) does end up opposing the Hussites. That would put him in direct opposition to Radzig, and thus Henry by extension.

I follow him on Twitter. He has not gotten softer, trust me.

I think there was something in this thread about GOG coming at a later date, Steam-only at launch, but I don't recall for sure.

 

[Paul_cz]

Launch should be Steam only in order to maximize the Steam CCU peak potential. I want KCD2 to do multiples of Veilguard to drive the point home.

GOG a month later.

 

[cvv]

Launch should be Steam only in order to maximize the Steam CCU peak potential.

And to maximize the bestseller list ranking on launch and following days/weeks (extremely important for exposure) they shouldn't have allowed pre-orders.
