Video: How the graphics and animation have changed in Kingdom Come 2 compared to the first installment
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's visuals have sparked debate, with some claiming they're nearly indistinguishable from the seven-year-old original. To clarify the visual enhancements, blogger NikTek offers a detailed video comparison.
The video showcases substantial graphical improvements by Warhorse Studios. Animation and physics are notably refined. Enhanced shaders and textures elevate image quality, but the most striking changes are in character animation and environmental interaction.
Lighting and dynamic weather effects stand out, particularly around the two-minute mark. Improvements to horse controls are evident at the seven-minute point, and NPC reactions to player actions are more realistic, as shown at the five-minute mark.
In conclusion, while not a radical overhaul, the refined graphics, increased realism, and enhanced physics suggest a richer and more immersive gameplay experience.
