Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's visuals have sparked debate, with some claiming they're nearly indistinguishable from the seven-year-old original. However, blogger NikTek's detailed video comparison reveals substantial improvements.
The video showcases Warhorse Studios' significant graphical enhancements. Animations and physics are notably smoother and more realistic. While improved shaders and textures elevate image quality, the most striking changes are in character animation and environmental interaction.
Lighting and dynamic weather effects are particularly impressive, highlighted around the two-minute mark. Horse control, showcased at the seven-minute mark, also received a significant upgrade. NPC reactions to player actions, demonstrated at the five-minute mark, are far more responsive.
In conclusion, while not a revolutionary visual overhaul, the refined graphics, enhanced realism, and improved physics promise a richer and more engaging gameplay experience.
