Kingdom Come devs wish their game could hold a candle to Red Dead Redemption 2

But only when it comes to money. Further details, such as pissing against the wind, are included in Gamepressure's interview.

It's a classic example of a potential new franchise where the first game is flawed but has promise and the sequel is make or break. If they can tighten up the combat, streamline some of the more tedious survival elements and polish the story and game as a whole to a high standard then they've got a great chance of making something big.

[KillZallthebeast]

I do hope it made enough to warrant a second game. If I recall this game had a somewhat smaller budget and mostly unproven team so another go at it will likely show pretty large improvements.

[Nacho_Z]

So do I, I appreciate what they did with it. As far as I know it was pretty successful and they'll be working on a follow up.

[Notellin]

Yeah it was a Kickstarter game originally. Raised quite the total on there. After the successful Kickstarter they received more money. Total budget was 36 million which is rather low by today's standard.

[Spenok]

As Notellin said, it had a pretty small budget. As far as we know, the game has sold at least 2 million copies, which virtually guarantees that it's been profitable.

So hopefully that means a sequel or similar style game in the future.

I adored it, and will be going back soon just because. I loved it and its flaws.

I enjoyed KCD more than RDR2.

[BillyG0AT]

I've put hundreds of hours in KCD and still haven't finished the main story. I love just exploring the world, it's gotta be up there as one of the best game worlds ever created. Looking forward to KCD: 2! Switch version of the first one would be epic too, though :D

[Count_Bakula]

Meh, R* has fallen off anyway; KC devs shouldn't be so hard on themselves. Clunky gameplay, amazing story. At least they released a PC version for people and didn't pivot their studio to only caring about microtransactions.

[KillZallthebeast]

The ridiculous 25-50 gb patches weekly sure didn't help the reception of this game at launch which I got, however the continued and fairly swift support at the same time was appreciated. Also the fact they stood their ground and refused to add artificial diversity that wouldn't fit the era made me respect them somewhat more.

[KillZallthebeast]

I don't need some upstart disagreeing with me. Theres no doubt the games codes was decent.

[mogwaii]

It was so great they didn't bend to that shit and stuck to historical accuracy.

[zodiac909]

Unless the devs would like to be driven to the point of depression, suicide, impossible crunch time and lose their souls along the way...maybe it's good for them that it's not like RDR2.

[neutralgamer1992]

What RDR2 is boring and feels like a chore. R* have gone for realism so much at the cost of fame being fun

RDR2 doesn't even allow propet fast traveling

Doesn't allow you to save you game while cheats are enabled and trophies are disabled

I don't think I want to finish RDR2 it's in my game collection but it's not fun after long day of work

I miss the old games from R* when it was all about fun

[cartoonx1]

i think these issues can be fixed with mods. i dont game on consoles so yea not much idea about the game.

[neutralgamer1992]

But is RDR2 on pc?

[cartoonx1]

afaik, there are mods for RDR2 on console.

[LordJamar]

it just got on Gamepass give it a try guys

[King_Noctis]

Now bring on KCD 2. The first one is so great and I haven’t even finished the game. Will get back to it as soon as I clear some backlog.

[mogwaii]

Me too man, love it but took a break and need to jump back in. The law ai is bloody maddening at times though, hopefully fixing this will be a focus in the sequel.

[Dixiedevil]

Thinking back, there’s moments of KCD that shine brighter in my memory than RDR. The return to your home, the fight on that broken down church, the monastery, storming the castle...I could go on and on. I wouldn’t have said it while playing RDR but in hindsight, I had a way more memorable experience playing KCD. I can’t wait to see what they do next.

[AK91]

I personally dont like KCD but if they ever had bigger budget I wont deny I'd be very interested to see what the end product would like

[mogwaii]

I'm really enjoying kingdom come deliverence despite its flaws, also quite enjoyed mafia 2 back in the day.
Kingdom come deliverence has amazing attention to historical detail and some great graphical techniques used to portray realism and it looks phenomenal in my opinion, I could imagine a next gen sequel with full blown Raytracing, man that would be mind blowing!
Of course they really need to iron out those various graphical, ai and design bugs but I cross my fingers they get to do a sequel if they aren't already, considering warhorse was recently bought out by THQ Nordic.
