Warhorse Studios has released a behind-the-scenes trailer for the CGI trailer of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, demonstrating their commitment to maximum realism. Judging by the video, a real horse was involved in the motion capture process, highlighting the studio’s dedication to authenticity.
The Motion Capture Process
The making-of video shows the intricate motion capture process, where a black horse in a special mocap suit moves calmly around the studio with a rider also wearing a motion capture suit. This short but notable moment follows a scene where an actor “rides” a fake horse, creating a seamless blend of real and simulated elements.
Pioneering Realistic Movement
This isn’t the first time that live horses have been used to create realistic movement in games. Rockstar Games previously employed a similar approach when developing Red Dead Redemption 2. However, the sight of a horse in a motion capture suit is something special, providing a unique glimpse into the meticulous efforts behind game development.
Enhanced Visuals and Gameplay
The use of live horses in motion capture not only enhances the realism of character movements but also adds to the immersive experience for players. This attention to detail ensures that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II stands out as a visually and dynamically engaging game.
Availability and Platforms
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is now available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Players can enjoy the highly realistic and historically rich gameplay experience that Warhorse Studios has meticulously crafted.
