Is there an option to play the game in medieval Czech? That would be amazing!
If so, I truly hope that ambient conversations will also be properly subtitled. I remember that I wanted to play metro 2033 in Russian, but only the main story conversations where subtitled. So a non-Russian speaker would not experience the game fully.
I would speculate about end of summer 2017, maybe September. Frankly, I don’t see a finished KC:Deliverance before then. A rushed out version maybe, like how Taleworlds do with their Mount&Blade games, but for complete and (almost) bug-free game we will have to wait a little bit more. And it is better to be that way, IMO.
Has taleworlds done that? Actually for bannerlord I hope they release a early version
Anyway, Mount and Blade and Kingdom come Deliverance are two very different games.
For one, if the combat works and most of the games features than most people will be happy,
For the other one, Kingdom come, it is very important for all the features to work and work properly. Because its a very narrative based game.
That said I always expect that when a game is released, it is released complete. These days we don’t get that very often anymore.
So what I am trying to say is that some games can get away with being released early but something like it should always be avoided. Or only done when there is no other choice.
I was watching a youtube review of star citizen posted Dec 24th and again the viability of Crytek was questioned. Apparently the new star citizen is being released on an Amazon platform.
How will this effect the release of KCD?
(My anwer is just speculative and I don´t know the WH internal)
They changed because Lumberyard(Amazon) has better netcode and cloud computing/server. Star citizen need this because it is of course a (massive) Multiplayer Online game.
KCD is singleplayer; they don´t need this. I don´t know how much WH must pay for licensing the Cryengine.(Lumberyard would be for “free”). Maybe this could be a reason to change…
I don´t know which version KCD uses exactlly (something like Version 3.8)at the moment. I only know they don´t want change to Cryengine V because it is to much work. On the otherside Star citizen told they have changed in only 2 days the code…
Maybe it is also easy for WH…?!?
Conclusion:
Changeing or not will not affect to the release date next year.
That could be just the shop’s placeholder date for “Summer 2017” as they state on their site. Btw the boxart there still says expected release in 2015. Oooor it’s a spicy leak.
But I heard warhorse is going to make a new boxart? Cant wait to see it, I do hope that one stays actually. Boxarts like that (the Witcher had some variations aswell, with the different characters featured on them) are beautifull and a great way to grab attention.
TBH I think it will be 100% finished before Q3 2017, but I think that for sake of sales, they wont release it before summer. But IDK anything about game optimization, so no idea how much it takes.
Considering that Bannerlord could possibly be another year away from release. This doesn’t inspire hope
But I have faith in Warhorse, at least they communicate with their fans. And thanks to their video updates, we know they are finishing up the game. As in fixing bugs and polishing. Hopefully this doesn’t take an entire year.
