KCD Future Developement?

I come? No, I don’t.

Your argumention is a little… confussing…
Do we talk about WH (or any other firm) who wants to sell games?
If they want sell their game on consoles they have to pay:
Sony (PS store) 30% (with DRM)
Micosoft (Xbox store) 30% (with DRM)
Switch???
If they want sell a mobile game:
Google (Play store) 30%
Apple 30%

If they want sell it for PC:
Steam 30% (with DRM)
GOG 30% (without DRM)

Epic Store (12%/18% >not sure) (with DRM)

If you just make your own game launcher (without plattform/market) > you will fail!
If you make your own plattform launcher/ new market you will need 50M.$ and more > maybe you will fail!

There are enough Steam user who don´t want to change the plattform, because …Steam works, or… (“insert your favorite argument”).

No console versions. RPGs are something to play on PC and consoles just plague the PC version with limitations. If you focus only on PC version and put all resources on it, it’s a much better game than a multi platform port shit with limitations and bad graphics.

Also no Steam. Why should I fail with an own launcher? An other option is to have no launcher. Simply publish retail only, like it always was in the late 1990’s up to 2005. And it worked. Publishers got their profit.

For me it would not be important how many copies my game sell. As I said, if I just want to make a fast profit, I would make a mainstream game with action gameplay, superheroes for 12 year olds and no story.

Pattern of behaviour

Consoles simply can’t handle big open world maps with a lot of transparency textures like grass. And the controller is often not compatible with the controls the game was created for. And I can behave like I want.

Yes except by 2018, 83% of all video game sales were from digital downloads. And that number is still increasing. You can’t release it on disk only anymore if you wish to get good sales. This isn’t the 90’s. Things have changed.

you explicitly asked me to explain. done.

played KCD on PS4 and PC. although shitty, the PC specs are better than what WH recommends. yes, lock picking is much easier on PC and output on UHD TV noticeably better but not enough to make a fuss over. PC games incomparably better than they used to be but still not photo-realistic to me. So the difference between PC and PS4 isn’t that compelling right now. doesnt matter FO4, KCD. as said before, to me the only compelling reason for PC is mods… and maybe the ability to beta test a game through an online service such as Steam or whatever. Pure pipe dream but wish Sony loosened its position on mods and enabled framework for beta testing on PS5

And where would you get the money for the development?

While I do agree that money shouldn’t the main motivation, it is still super important, you need someone who would invest in your project (while part of the motivation of the investor might be to support interesting project, he of course wants his money back and make profit out of it and there is nothing wrong about it).

Then it’s on time to work against it to bring back good old times.

nothing good ever came from saying that

This is not right.

Most likely, another unplayable game!

I agree Man that peopledon’t easily change platmore, they would more over stick to the old one rather than moving on, Talking as a fellow online streamer

For Players like you we are exactly like this…

Any other Multiplayer is making millions on the spot even with shitty games and there is where Developers are going… 10-times profit vs unlimited profit is a no brain decision for developers… sadly.

Plus people like you whining for an extra button in options menu… XDXD :joy::joy::joy:

PD.: I bet you haven’t bought all DLC’s for any excuse, you are in your right, but any armor upgrade in fornite (just an example) it’s more expensive.

Yeah its actually expensive.

Who wants multiplayer shit?

Indeed. Mount and blade fits that for anyone needing it.

I don’t want even a multiplayer option!

I personally hope they avoid the multiplayer route. Focus on making a really good story and using the foundations they have laid to make the game even deeper more stimulation like, instead of the usual failed route of dumbing down.

I had a wish list for kingdom come awhile back, I feel if they went this route adding more interesting gameplay systems A deeper hardcore mode. This will put the next one firmly on the map and make it a must have for more people. With the new consoles out next year pushing for 60 fps 4k standard I think all games are going to benefit, specially ones like kingdom come which felt alot like it was held back by the limitations of this generation of consoles.

I prefer one game mode and one difficulty for everyone! You should not be able to change gameplay modes and difficulty. There should not be different HUD with different modes. Make one perfect HUD and basta!
