Henry's VA is Tom McKay and he is a really nice guy, and it's so funny that they made his face model so accurate to his actual appearance because he is literally now basically Henry in live action. Same with Luke Dale, the VA/face model for Sir Hans Capon.
Henry and Hans were modeled after their voice actors. Since theyre also their mocap actors. And about the character build and skills, Henry and Hans will almost certainly be ambushed, wounded and maybe even imprisoned, that would explain why he looks older and chubbier since there will be a time lapse. And after he's released he will have to relearn his skills back, making it a perfect start for newcomers and older players.
Tom McKay is absolutely brilliant and I was nearly in tears watching rhe reveal yesterday, Was #44 on their kickstarter campaign back in the early days of KCD, and super proud of that fact. What a game it was and I am super stoked for KCD 2.
@@Darumaster yeah, it's slated for late 2024, but there's been very little information, other than that video that was uploaded in February, from the current developers
Possibly also the next installment of Dragon Age as well, although the release date won't be announced until June. It's been rumoured to launch at the end of this year, at any rate.
If Henry isn't hungry in the sequel, I'm gonna be disappointed beyond words. And someone in Kuttenberg absolutely needs to say, "Henry's come to see us!" If those two things happen, easily GOTY.
The lighting is noticeably better and the colours are more vibrant, but I’m curious to see how the gameplay is improved. The combat and exploration was already pretty good.
Really looking forward to your playthrough Gopher! I have such fond memories of your playthrough of the first part. The second part will be all glorious again! :D
I'm halfway through you're first LP & I thought multiple times, damn I should have played this instead of watching the LP. Nice that by the time I finish the LP I can play part deux.
Kingdom Come is a gem of a game and really puts other games to shame, in an era where games are rushed and incomplete at release, Kingdom Come showed us that it's still possible to make great and complete games on a modern engine. The only thing that could make it better is having a modding scene like Bethesda games for Kingdom Come.
This looks really fantastic, Gopher, and I am very much looking forward to seeing you play it. In the meantime, I also hope that we will get to see you play Horizon: Forbidden West, so that you can complete Aloy's story and find out what happens next.
I hope they have Pebbles for you again since you loved Pebbles. Capon was modeled after Luke Dale, Hanush was modeled (slightly - just his head and they made him a LITTLE younger) after Dan Vavra.
I am definetly happy to see more ranged options and hoping they change some of the weapon systems. Cause I was sad to never try polearms since they were non-inventory items.
I hope that gunpowder is such a new concept, that those two guards just stand there discussing "What do you think it is? Some weird candle? Black magic maybe?"
They kept this under wraps pretty well although quite a lot of info was there if you dug for it. I'd almost forgotten about it tbh. Kuttenburg is the focal point and no doubt we are going to see some insanely good urban settings to historical accuracy and scale.
They specifically mentioned in the game reveal video that this game would feature many of the things they wanted for the first game but didn’t have the resources to pull off at the time.
I really hope there's a save file transfer or at least you can choose your "background" when you start, because i always liked the idea of Henry marrying Theresa and i didn't see her in the trailer, but i saw that you can be a "lover". I just hope she's not completely ignored or written out. I liked her a lot.
Well I have 0 inside knowledge so this is pure speculations on my part, however the horse Henry was riding in the trailer has similar coloring and markings as Pebbles in KCD 1 and it's not something common so I would say it's him ?
Nah, I want a Pebbles dlc where we just live on a farm and roll around in the hay and stuff. Let the protagonist of the first game retire with full honours.
Jesus Christ be praised! And yeah, I was also surprised they modeled Henry after his English voice actor. I had always assumed he was modeled after his Czech VA considering the devs are Czech.
8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2
It couldn't be modeled after Czech VA since Czech dub was release just last year and is fan made (with blessing from Warhorse studios)
@Gopher German games magazine GameStar released a good (spoiler free) video that includes some interesting technical information. The automatic TH-cam subtitles are pretty well translated, though that AI seems to struggle with english words within the german voiceover. (The names of the developer and the games are never written the same way twice and "stealth" is translated as "death" once) Cheers
I worry for this game since certain "Urinalist" outlets have been claiming that KC:D2 is going to be a bastion of "diversity". They better stick to their guns like last time and keep everything HISTORICALLY accurate, it's what drew me in in the first place.
Not sure how major a city Kuttenberg was at that period, but it might have more foreign visitors than the region in the first game. But honestly I am not sure about the history of 'Kuttenberg' at all.
I really happy my Czech brothers and Mr. "based" Vávrá are give us the continuation of their MASTERPIECE and my favourite youtuber are making a playthrough of it!!! A really happy Cuman here!!! Jesus hungry Henry be praised!!!
I got into that game through watching you play it. I had to give myself a couple year break before playing it myself so it felt fresh! Great game, but I'm aware I played it after several updates as I remember it being a buggy launch!! Their quote of being twice as big as the first hopefully doesn't mean they sacrifice on bugs / performance
Maybe this Henry canonically did a merciful run and the only person he killed was Runt. 👀 I assume you're going to start with the combo system, master stroke system, and perfect block system etc already unlocked but no perks. (as opposed to the first game when you can't even unlock that for about three hours) So if you got good at combat in the first game you'll technically be able to be about as good but still have RPG progression for video games reasons.
Gopher, please make a full fledge Let’s Play about this game, whenever you can fit it in your schedule. I think it’s an ideal game for you. I hope you don’t stream it since it would be less immersive. Thank you…
It looks pretty good. I was a bit disappointed with the "Live Action" Trailer Intro. If the game looked that good, I'd buy it. Although, I feel they knew it was a bit cheeky!? As if to say "We had you going there.. didn't we?.. L-O-L.. Sorry, not sorry!" I'm sure people will love it. Don't mind me. ✌😁
Devs not independent anymore, nice and cosy under Embrace group. Lower expectation to minimum. If won't F-up and deliver same or better will feels way better without all fake/PR induced hype.
They can start me from scratch if they get rid of that damn combo system. I've done in excess of 5 playthroughs (a few dozen partials) and I have never once managed a successful combo. Ever.
@@dominika3762 It was pretty great in my opinion. However is was a bit of a mess when enemies ran around you, making the camera spin round in turn. And the dogs, don't get me started on the dogs. But all in all, still my top 3 games of all time.

I feel like Kingdom Come: Deliverance should be the base game system being used for Skywind instead of Skyrim. Morrowiverance, or something. They're from different series and developers, sure, but the progression system in Kingdom Come does exactly what the Morrowind progression system wanted to do but lacked the tech for. In Morrowind, it's largely the same. No matter how good you are as a player, your character sucks at stuff, and so you will fail to cast spells, you'll miss with your weapon attacks, you'll hardly ever raise your shield to block in time, etc. Lots of people, including myself, are nostalgic for Morrowind. But also a lot of people, including myself again, will say that system is awful. Kingdom Come accomplishes what they were going for in a way that feels WAY better to the player - still frustrating to suck at something early on, but with much more satisfying to notice your improvement beyond a simple hit/miss chance. Early on, you almost 'get used' to sucking at everything, and then you as a player grow with your character, and you feel like you're the one learning new things. Just something I thought of, while watching this video. Thanks for posting this, as I hadn't heard of it yet Gopher. (:
To clarify, I'm definitely not suggesting Skywind be scrapped - I'm VERY much looking forward to that. I was just making some comparisons between the two progression systems and what they wanted to accomplish, as far as a player experience goes.
Really impressed with the live action Henry impersonator they found for this 😂
lmao
Kingdom Come Deliverance was one of your best playthroughs.
It was glorious
Henry's VA is Tom McKay and he is a really nice guy, and it's so funny that they made his face model so accurate to his actual appearance because he is literally now basically Henry in live action. Same with Luke Dale, the VA/face model for Sir Hans Capon.
Tom McKay is one of the sweetest most amazing people I´ve ever met! He is not just a face and voice of Henry. He gives him so much more. :)
this time it's not lvl 1 peasant it's lvl 1 man at arms
That makes sense. Hope so.
There will be some aggressive flower picking (ed: and bunny hunting)
Henry and Hans were modeled after their voice actors. Since theyre also their mocap actors.

Have you watched the tv sshoe the white Queen? Mckay is there as jasper tudor
So many games this year. Dragon's Dogma 2, STALKER 2, Avowed and now Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
And Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 (I pray is not garbage)
Oh, is it actually coming out? I remember pre-ordering like 10 years ago and then cancelling the pre-order when it switched studios lol

Hey, Henry's come to see us!
God be praised!
Bring back Pebbles! ^^

And someone in Kuttenberg absolutely needs to say, "Henry's come to see us!"

The improvements look immense!

that one shot with the trees being completely black and the evening sky with the pink clouds is in the back. Breathtaking
#teampebbles the only horse Henry will ever need
Hey! Gopher has come to see us.
One of my favourite youtubers is excited for the game I´ve been working on? You just made my day, sir! Thank you!
Just got to do what Garalt dose with Roach and name every horse Pebbles
This guy knows. Pebbles is a must!
Looking forward.
PS: just finished your Witcher 3 dlc playthroughs (again). So good. So good. Truly appreciated.
We know the city of Kuttenburg is in the second game, which should be quite impressive considering the scale.
Really looking forward to your playthrough Gopher! I have such fond memories of your playthrough of the first part. The second part will be all glorious again! :D
Welcome back to Bohemia, Gopher :)
Indeed they went forth towards Prague Gopher. Great news that they are making the sequel the 1st game deserved.
I'm halfway through you're first LP & I thought multiple times, damn I should have played this instead of watching the LP.
Nice that by the time I finish the LP I can play part deux.

I didn't know that they were making a part 2! Thank you for for the heads up, Gopher. I look forward to it.
Stay awesome!! 😊

In the meantime, I also hope that we will get to see you play Horizon: Forbidden West, so that you can complete Aloy's story and find out what happens next.
I hope they have Pebbles for you again since you loved Pebbles. Capon was modeled after Luke Dale, Hanush was modeled (slightly - just his head and they made him a LITTLE younger) after Dan Vavra.
Your gameplay of KCD1 is what made me fall in love with the game!!
SO EXCITED to see KCD2 and even more to watch your playthrough of it :)
I am already so proud of the studio. I can even recognize many places from "real life".
Team Pebbles 👏❤
I didn't realize real Henry in the clip wasn't animated until you said somthing!
Gopher: I suck at geography.
Me: But you're not even American!
#TeamPebbles
fun fact, the actor that played henry also played jasper tudor in the mini series the white queen,
I can't wait to watch you play this. Your Let's Play of the first one is one of my favourite LPs ever - it is SO good, you totally nailed it.
I'm guessing they will have the decision you made as a imported feature and the combat skills at a baseline, only to improve them further.
I am definetly happy to see more ranged options and hoping they change some of the weapon systems. Cause I was sad to never try polearms since they were non-inventory items.
Trailer looked truly phenomenal.
I hope that gunpowder is such a new concept, that those two guards just stand there discussing "What do you think it is? Some weird candle? Black magic maybe?"
I think we will be give point for perk selection in the beginning so we can choose what we good at not completely noob from the start
They kept this under wraps pretty well although quite a lot of info was there if you dug for it. I'd almost forgotten about it tbh. Kuttenburg is the focal point and no doubt we are going to see some insanely good urban settings to historical accuracy and scale.
Crazy how we came so far graphics-wise that this many people thought the intro was the game and not actual camera footage (me included lmao)
Heck yes! Looking forward to both your playthrough and going through the two games myself!
They did model Henry after voice actor in the first game too. :)
The way they marketed the first was there would be massive battles and that was not the case. Hopefully they do massive battles.
I don't think "massive" battles will be a thing. But yeah, hopefully.
They specifically mentioned in the game reveal video that this game would feature many of the things they wanted for the first game but didn’t have the resources to pull off at the time.

seems like you get a dialog early on in kcd2 where you can state that Theresa is your sweetheart
Was looking forward for this for so long

3:23 The bonk is strong.
I'm so ready to put another 2000 hours into the sequel!!
I'm so ready! Henry is here!
Imagine this becoming a series and change the main character to another Hollywood actor
Watched the reveal yesterday not realizing it will be a sequel. Which reminds me I never finished the first one. 😅
The reveal trailer looked so fucking one of the best I've ever seen! At first I thought too it was an animation but it are the real Henry and Hans!
If Henry starts off on Pebbles I guess I'm not taking a dofferent horse two games in a row.
An excuse I needed to go watch Gophers KCD full playthrough again
It's coming out THIS YEAR? Damn, they really were sitting on this.
Pebbles or bust!
The Gopherest of Gophery games - can't wait!
Sweet! I've been hoping for another ever since the ending of the first one
The voice actor for Henry. His name is Bob. Yeah that's it, Bob will do.
I hope they have spear and shield combat this time around. :D
I cried watching the reveal. Not one bit ashamed.
The city is Kuttenberg not Prague!

@Gopher Your playthrough of KCD made me buy it.
Now to completely ignore the hype!
Can’t wait 🙃
One of the best things about a KCD game is it is nearly impossible to drench the game in rainbow vomit. Shut up and take my money!
I cannot believe it. It looks incedible
From the czech interviews it seemed like you DO start at level 1 again, but perhaps that level 1 in this game is equal to level 10 in the first one.
Easily in my top 5 games of all time!
It looks pretty good. I was a bit disappointed with the "Live Action" Trailer Intro. If the game looked that good, I'd buy it.
Although, I feel they knew it was a bit cheeky!? As if to say
"We had you going there.. didn't we?.. L-O-L.. Sorry, not sorry!"
I'm sure people will love it. Don't mind me. ✌😁
Hopefully they give ai to animals this time!
They only thing is i wished they changed is removed the deliverance from the franchise name. So kingdom come II - [entry name]
good time to replay KCD1... hope they wont f things up, just give me more of the same game... new map, new quests, can keep everything else :)
Agreed, re-downloading as I type this!!
Devs not independent anymore, nice and cosy under Embrace group. Lower expectation to minimum. If won't F-up and deliver same or better will feels way better without all fake/PR induced hype.
Yes. YES. YES!!!
They can start me from scratch if they get rid of that damn combo system. I've done in excess of 5 playthroughs (a few dozen partials) and I have never once managed a successful combo. Ever.
