Some monsters

There's no way this is the PC version. Look at those textures. Not saying it looks ugly or anything of the sort, but this just looks like what you'd expect to see on the current gen consoles.

Yeah, judging from what I saw of the combat builds stream, alchemy builds are going to be very powerful. Grenades gib the hell out of enemies.

That's kind of no different from TW2. If you weren't abusing the hell of out Quen, you could just trivialize everything with Alchemy bombs.

Thanks, listening to this now. Witcher games have amazing music.

I hope so, lol. It looks fantastic. Especially for game this large and with so much going on.

Yep, gotta be consoles. Nowhere as impressive as the other shots we've been getting.

 

[Jay Shadow]

Ok, I just needed 3 words, shes perfect. My hype is through the roof.

I saw one hands on preview from some random news outlet list her voice actress as Jo Wyatt, who among other things was Female Hawke in DA2. Never saw this mentioned in any other preview ever so I don't know if they weren't supposed to post this info, or they pulled it out of their ass. Sounds like it could be legit though.

The FCR mod for TW1 has a crazy good additional track too.

 

[GavinUK86]

fantastic trailer.

some extremely beefy armor in the game huh:

They are not official screenshots, print screen from video.

 

[Sanctuary]

That's still not going to cause some of the textures to magically change to 512 x 512. Just look at the LoD on the archway in the background too. Why would they show the PC version on medium or low settings?

 

[murgo]

Fuck me. What a glorious trailer. May 19th can't come soon enough.

 

[Beaulieu]

Is this one really opened or is it like witcher 2 ?

Can I go ANYWHERE from the start and tackle quests from a random village at the opposite end of the map right away ?

Is there monster scaling ?

 

[IchigoSharingan]

Played and loved Witcher 2.

Then played Dark Souls for 50+ hours.

I want to be excited for this game but the combat.... =/

I know I'm not supposed to love the Witcher series for the fights..guess I'll cope as I play further.

 

[CyberPunked]

This is a worryingly low LOD...

Also why do all leaves and foliage look like they're glued together? Really low quality sprites?

 

[ScepticMatt]

Actually this is a good question! Do we know if the game is uncut everywhere? I remember The last of us cut out limb decapitation etc in the UK but not in the US version.

Uncut except for retail Arab versions (If you buy from GOG, then uncensored everywhere)

I need a full on Ciri Witcher game now.

Good chance for Witcher 4, but Cyberpunk 2077 first.

Monster don't scale in level in any way. You are level 1 and you can run into level 40 monster if you enter wrong cave. Then that level 40 monster will rip your head off and you have no say in the matter.

That said you can go anywhere any time you want to, only thing preventing you is those monsters.

Also on higher difficulty settings monsters don't become damage sponges. They get tad more HP, but mostly they just get new attacks and become more aggressive. And hit fuckton harder.

Here we go again

No blood splatter saddens me though

thank goodness. Borderlands 2/TPS made me absolutely nauseous regarding damage sponges. Can't stand 'em.

It is a bit low but TW2 also had shitty LOD didn't it? In motion I'm sure distant things won't be as important
I just hope the shitty dithering is a bit less this time around

yeah pretty inexcusable, feel free to PM me your steam code....

 

[Denton]

fantastic trailer.

Amazing trailer but yeah I am not wearing that. Geralt wouldn't.

 

[Dredd97]

In ma Belly!!!

 

[ChosenPredator]

for some reason this makes me mad at capcom for not doing a straight up dragon dogma 2 <_<


but man this game looks incredible.

 

[Terra_Ex]

Nice trailer, already fully hyped though!

 

[Chaos17]

12 days to go!
Can't wait

 

[Sanctuary]

Here we go again

No, not really. That is pretty bad if this is the PC version, which I can't see it being. Unless CDPR is just trying some new method of reverse bullshotting so that people lower their expectations and are then blown away upon release.

 

[Primethius]

Here we go again

You must have pretty bad eyes if those issues aren't readily apparent to you.

 

[Fuz]

Dat downgrade

Spoiler

Just kidding, it looks fantastic overall

 

[CyberPunked]

Unless CDPR is just trying some new method of reverse bullshotting so that people lower their expectations and are then blown away upon release.

This is brilliant xD

 

[Tovarisc]

@witchergame Was this trailer recorded on PC, PS4 or XBO?

Lol
That console downgrade tho...

Yeah, the visual downgrade compared to previous trailers like Sword of Destiny is insane. This game doesn't look phenomenal any more - looks pretty much like what you'd expect from a multi-plat game these days.

The combat animations looked AMAZING though! And that Ciri section at the end! HOLY ****!!!

 

[IchigoSharingan]

fantastic trailer.

some extremely beefy armor in the game huh:

 

[varkuriru]

Most excellent. It seems the devs read my mind with that ability at the end of the trailer . Just what I wanted.

 

[diaspora]

fantastic trailer.

some extremely beefy armor in the game huh:

Geralt became a Grey Warden?

 

[Loakum]

Luckily it doesn't.

The gory finishers after a combo is very Shadow of Mordor (which is definitely a positive, that game Rocked!)

 

[TouchMyBox]

Oh man, Ciri is way more badass now.

 

[Furyous]

I'm in as long as there aren't any sharks or mandatory shark fights. It's better to wait for a guide to figure out which one of the 36+ endings is the best because screw replaying a game of this size when the alleged fastest speedrun is 25 hours.

why not twitch like...30 of them?

 

[0racle]

I didnt have time to read the thread but to me it looks very disappointing visually....

it looks like it lacks character, looks very "samey" to the majority of games out there. Before this game had character. I don't know if it was the shaders etc but it looked different....something no video game has done before. Now it looks stale.

Who cares which one is "best"?
I'll live MY story and maybe watch the other endings on youtube.

There's only 3 endings...everything else is smaller variables in those endings.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Well that Ciri portion was really nice.

Next game needs to be all about her(I know I am getting way ahead of myself).

There is no 'best' ending.

 

[kmax]

 

[Loakum]

fantastic trailer.

some extremely beefy armor in the game huh:

Nice, but Soulcalibur IV Segfried's armor is the armor in which all other armors are measured. (they seem to both like rockin that eye scar)

 

[crazysapertonight]

No, not really. That is pretty bad if this is the PC version, which I can't see it being. Unless CDPR is just trying some new method of reverse bullshotting so that people lower their expectations and are then blown away upon release.

I really hope, that this trailer does not represent final version of graphics on PC. First few trailers was mind blowing in terms of graphics, this is not.
If such good developers as CD project lied to us to advertise their game, it means game industry is spoiled too deeply...

 

[Blackthorn]

Hey GAF you know what else looks weird when you zoom in really close to it?

Fucking everything.

 

[nikos]

I'm officially sold. Inject it directly into me.
