More than a month has passed since the announcement of the historical RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. At the elaborate presentation, we learned something about the setting, characters, story, gameplay and other aspects. Probably the main point, anyway, was the fact that the second part is much bigger than the rather extensive first part. And producer Martin Klíma revealed a little about the size at a lecture on Friday as part of the ongoing Game Access event in Brno.

Perhaps the most interesting were the statements regarding the technical side. Klíma, like many other developers, mentioned the limitation of the Xbox Series S and its 10GB of memory. So Warhorse's goal was to make the game 25% bigger, since XSS has 25% more memory than PS4/XONE.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Scope Was Impacted by Xbox Series S Limitations; Will Run at 4K@30 FPS on PS5/XSX

Is that how it works?

Probably not 1 to 1, but memory limitation is an issue.

And xbox wants to get a next gen device out. This is another reason shit takes so long.

So xbox is gonna have 3 skus out and developers are just going to have to ignore series s at the very least.

Why do this to yourself? I don't get it

And yet their world will be smaller than the one in Ultima IV, a game that runs on Master System, a console with a whopping 8 KB of RAM.

Why not make it breath of wild size?
You don't need big graphics to achieve big world

Morrowind is huge map that runs on a machine with 64MB of ram. I could be wrong, but everything I have "thought" I have learned, says this isnt how it works. I guess my point is that the game assets get streamed in and out of ram.

Yet it can can on PC devices with less memory...

Is that how it works?

No not really. The total size of the game world itself shouldn't matter as long as they aren't trying to render everything in the background (which would be stupid as shit).

Do they fit entire world in memory at same time LMAO.
