Reddit’s member ‘xXEdgy13YrOldXx‘ has shared some really interesting comparison between some real-life locations and their Kingdom Come: Deliverance in-game counterparts. As we can see, Warhorse was able to recreate a lot of castles and houses as they look in real-life, though it’s obvious that we need a better lighting system in order to come closer to photorealistic visuals (perhaps the game could have looked better if Warhorse kept the lighting system from the beta build).
For comparison purposes, we’ve also included below some comparison videos between real-life locations and in-game environments. The games we chose are: Assassin’s Creed Origins, Watch_Dogs 2, Assassin’s Creed: Unity and The Division (notice a pattern here? All of them are published by Ubisoft). In our opinion, The Division is the best example of a game getting as close to its real environments as possible. Still, feel free to share similar comparison videos from other games in the comment section below!

I looked at some beta videos of KCD(as far as 2 years ago), It never had that so called “lighting system”, the final release uses SVOTI(Voxel-based Global Illuminiation) which replaces Cryengine’s Global illumination because it’s cheaper to run now, you can also tweak it to get better quality via e_svoti and pres tab to see the commands. There are specific commands that increase quality like when you set e_svoti_LowSpec 0, ultra high is 1.
Beta used SVOTI.
Svoti doesn’t “replace Cryengine’s GI”. It IS Cryengine’s GI. The beta didn’t even have GI, it just used environment probes for IBL and fake GI. Cryengine used to have LPV for GI but that got replaced once Svoti was developed.
Well, GI is disabled in the game, which was Cryengines GI and you can’t have both, it’s either e_GI or e_svoti.
What does e_GI even do? I tried that cvar and it did nothing if SVOGI is disabled.
And the LPV GI got deprecated BEFORE it got replaced. There was a period where Cryengine didn’t have any GI. Then, when SVOGI was created, it was added to the engine.
Cryengine only has one GI system and it never had two GI systems in the engine at once. It was LPV –> no GI –> SVOGI .
e_GI is global Illumination, (deprecated) and removed in CE 3.6 so yes SVOTI replaced it. I assume there were both in there because the e_GI is still a command, strange it’s actually still a command if it’s been removed from the engine.
Yes exactly. So e_GI refers to LPV which was removed in 3.6. SVOGI didn’t exist until 3.8.6 IIRC or until CEV.
The beta did use SVOTI. The alpha didn’t since the CryEngine V with this new GI implementation wasn’t available at the time.

I’m looking at these beta comparisions and I’m surprised how much they have downgraded that game. I hope moders will find a way to restore all of these missing details
I have played both alpha and beta and I did not notice any downgrade in the final release.
I didn’t see a huge diff either. Also some of the screens showing the downgrade, you can find the similar areas of forest with the same foliage that looks like the alpha.
The game looks insane at 4K/high/medium custom.

FAKE NEWS!
What is your setup and fps at 4k?
I don’t actually play at those settings, I prefer 1080p/60+, 4K/30+ custom high/medium but it goes below in some heavy areas. i5 8600K@4.2/GTX 1070/16Gb RAM, m.2 drive.
I have posted comparison link few post above, and the difference is huge
Those videos are more reallistic than kingdom come because they future PoC and LBGTQIA folk. Meanwhile Kingdom come does not, which is wrong as social justice post mordenist academics have told us there were definetly PoC and LGBTQIA people in medieval Bohemia, infact i am appaled at how Marvel did not include any LGBTQIA people in Wakanda.
Sorry i couldnt resist after reading all those stupid articles about this game of sjws seriously believing that there were blacks and gays in medieval central europe cuz…MARXIST ACADEMICS WHO REJECT THE VERY DEFINITION OF REALLITY WITH 62 GENDERS AND POST MORDENISM TOLD US SO!!!
Yeah well, theyr’e brainwashed, by liberals very definintion Wakanda is racist and so is the movie.
Edit: Meant it’s not that far behind Ep 7 in terms of grossing revenue. Was still amped up when I was typing that haha. Had to check the best selling movies list. Realised Star Wars isn’t even right at the top but it’s up there.
My history knowledge on Europe is severely lacking but I don’t see it as something that can be completely far-fetched for there to be blacks and gays living in those places during those time periods. There have been documented records proving such things after all: paintings, sculptures, scriptures and whatnot. It’s just they were obviously in such insignificant numbers nobody ever really payed attention to it I think. Same deal with black and female WWI & WWII vets.
As for the Black Panther situation.. I’ve yet to see the movie, planning to in the coming days or weeks. Soundtrack got me hyped I gotta admit lol. But I’ve read that the movie starts off with that tone deliberately (anti-immigration/pro-black society) but the message in the end turns out to be the complete opposite. I just think people are trying to find a reason to be offended here and judge the movie based on the trailers and through word of mouth.
Can’t say for certain since I haven’t seen the film yet. But I genuinely think it’ll be a great experience from the overall praise it got. The concept alone for once is an extremely different and fresh take from Hollywood.
“There have been documented records proving such things after all: paintings, sculptures, scriptures and whatnot”
WE WAZ KANGZ, sorry but thats all bs, like ho the vikings were muslims according to some fake cloth their found. All that is post mordenist drivel, ask john if there were any black people in greece before late 90s. Somehow they werent despite greece is right next middle east and africa and basicly has no borders. People back then couldnt travel that far nor had any reason to do so. They didnt get to see on tv and the internet how people live in the west.
” The concept alone for once is an extremely different and fresh take from Hollywood.”
pfffffff hahahahah what? A super hero movie? What are you own about?
Lol you just had to use a quote which derived from an extremist right wing site. I’m not sure what it is people have against questioning certain aspects of history. I question my own religion from time to time and I see it as a healthy and beneficial thing in the long run. It’s no secret that history contains a lot of truth but then there’s also a shitload of fabricated information depending on where you look.
Anyways, all I’m saying is if the Europeans were all about exploring and conquering lands in the past then there was a high chance foreigners already existing in various parts of Europe (like there are Europeans pretty much everywhere in the world right now, especially in Africa) as slaves, traders or citizens. But realistically I don’t think there would be any until maybe two or three centuries later after the setting of Kingdom Come Deliverance.
And I hear Black Panther feels more like a Bond movie than anything, which is a win for me as I’m a huge Bond fan 😛 I’m talking about the concept of an all black cast which for once doesn’t focus on topics like slavery, gangs or any kind of struggle for that matter. I see it as a major step forward.
“Lol you just had to use a quote which derived from an extremist right wing site.”
Which quote?
“WE WUZ KANGZ N SHIET”. That Came from a white supremacist site I read a while back. But I’m just gonna assume most people who use that phrase don’t know it.
I use it all the time. It comes from 4chan originally and it’s intentions is to make fun of the historical revisionism done by those who follow the tenets of afrocentrism.
I’m not an SJW and this comment is not based on my race (before you make any assumptions), but I partially agree and disagree on some points. What I can agree on is that I doubt there were any black people in Medieval Bohemia whatsoever; it is unreasonable to assume otherwise because of geographic constraints at the time. If there were any, all of them would’ve been considered foreigners. In Al Andalus, however, seeing a black person was more likely.
The thing I disagree on is the assertion that gay people did not exist at the time, which academic studies disprove. Closeted homosexuality existed in Medieval Europe and the Renaissance, but it was legislated against. At the time, it was known as “sodomy,” and anyone caught engaging in “sodomy” was punished, the severity depending on the region and time period. According to a study by Nicolaus J. Hajek of the College of Wooster, 243 Florentine boys confessed to homosexuality in 1496 and only received small fines, but in Venice, a man was publicly mutilated for it (his nose was removed). Likewise, King Henry VIII of England passed the Buggery Act, which made sexual relations between men punishable by hanging (this wasn’t repealed until the 19th Century).
“The thing I disagree on is the assertion that gay people did not exist at the time, which academic studies disprove. ”
they make that argument for blacks in medieval ages by using made up fairytales that they took out of context
From what you just said to me, It’s clear that you’re not willing to put more research into this discussion. There’s a reason why I didn’t respond to your comment…
