Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s Kickstarter Success Should be An Eye Opener for Publishers

OnlySP: Kingdom Come: Deliverance is the little game that could. It completely knocked its Kickstarter goals out of the park and it is continuing to surpass its funding with more and more donations every day. The title received all of its funding through an investor and through Kickstarter but was never picked up by any publisher, despite the massive interest in the game. The reason behind this was that the game was considered too difficult to market and it wouldn’t be worth the effort of investing because “People want wizards and dragons” but maybe it’s time that publishers realise they ought to be taking more risks with projects and Kingdom Come: Deliverance is their wake up call.

It's not cod, BF, GTA or GT, it'll fail.... That's what they're all thinking.

JEECE4123d ago

I think it's more that it isn't Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, or The Witcher, but yeah, same idea.

I'm just annoyed that the earliest I'll be able to get this game is the end of NEXT year. If they don't bring it to PS4 (they hope to do so, fingers crossed) then I'll need to upgrade my PC before then (although there will probably be plenty of other reasons to upgrade by that time).

I'm looking forward to seeing more of this title.

It should also be an eye opener for those who enjoy downplaying indie development, and indie games. It shows that gamers care about unique and original concepts that deserve the light of day.

Kingdom Come is not the first project that has been green-lighted through nothing more than a dedicated, hard-working team and a passionate fan base.

That's a terrible decision. Just adding a higher frame rate options or next gen latch would generate a ton of interest from new players.

Still have Forspoken and KC:Deliverance on my huge backlog list. Don’t know when I’m going to get around to them though.

7 and 4 are the only 2 I played on this list and even regardless of their negative press. I had a blast with both games, and I have no regrets with them.

TheColbertinator82d ago

Alpha Protocol. Obsidian needed more time with that one I think.

RaidenBlack81d ago

Yep, Alpha Protocol is pretty unique. A spy-thriller-RPG. A pretty rare theme.
But the development wasn't smooth, and needed more time.
One of the few 7th gen titles that I support for a proper Remake, so that the gaming world gets something unique.

Inverno82d ago

Hilarious to me how Kingdom Come 2 has scored well so far when the first was attacked by the same sites that apparently enjoyed the second. Glad they could make a sequel cause so many games have been the target of journo slander and been denied the chance.

I thought Darksiders 3 and Vampyr were great.

We need to appreciate the strict rules of Islam, but we also need to appreciate the amazing freedoms we enjoy. Lets be thankful and appreciative of our friends.

lelo2play116d ago (Edited 116d ago )

Too much freedom is also bad. People think they can do whatever they want without consequences.
Too much freedom = lawlessness.

GotGame818116d ago

What 2 people do behind closed doors doesn't= lawlessness! Your selfie explains everything!

No freedom at all = Islamic states.

No thanks. The more freedom, the better.

BeHunted116d ago

What Freedom? Even a Twitter/X comment could get you arrested in Europe, especially the UK, and America.

Eonjay116d ago

@Behunted

"Even a Twitter/X comment could get you arrested in Europe, especially the UK, and America."

I mean terroristic threats are crimes and yes you can get arrested for making them. Yes, there are limits to free speech. But outside of posing a risk to other people you are free to say whatever you want. Its a rationale approach for sure. Free speech doesn't mean absolute freedom. You are not free to bring harm to other people usign your words.
