I actually thought she was pretty good, but was working with a bad character and a bad script.

The fact so many people don't understand the reason behind this and why it's Important tells me just how many posers never finished the game and just pretend to be MGS fans.
Suffice to say this is not some pretend Ciri, its the same fucking character.
Edit: just remembered ground zeroes existed and this was just Kojima being a hack again.

Wait, what? You do realise Keither voiced Big Boss also right?

Yeah that's my bad, I fucking forgot ground zeroes was a thing and they didn't fucking do anything at the end either with the reveal.
Overall it was Kojima being a hack again. I was attaching to much to the whole "medic" having a different voice makes sense.
As for Ciri I'm not so sure I like the fricken change.

A talented 50-year-old actress can sound like a 20-year-old is what I’m saying. No doubt about the other stuff

Oh that would have 100% made sense if Hayter voiced the other. Would have turned a bizzare recasting into an awesome twist.

I don't even care
I just want Geralt
Let the man retire with his sorceress waifu. The vast majority of Witchers don't reach retirement, the man's earned it.

I wonder if we get Geralt cameo, doubtful but will be awesome.

Not really a fan of Ciri but she looks and sounds fine to me.
At the end of the TGA presentation you can hear his voice and they already confirmed he will appear in the game. Hell, you can bet your ass most of the major characters in the old trilogy will at least make a cameo.

That's for real? How lucky for Geralt then, or he was a Gigachad and the Trial of Grasses downgrade him to only being a Chad?

It's a thing I heard book fans complain about in the games actually.That's for real? How lucky for Geralt then, or he was a Gigachad and the Trial of Grasses downgrade him to only being a Chad?

I dont follow Witcher stuff, but going strictly on those comparison pics posted at the beginning of the thread, Jo Wyatt looks nothing like Ciri beside her. And the pics below look much better and resemble each other way better.

Ahhh ok that’s interesting. Hopefully they don’t stray too far away after make up. I remember when Henry Cavill was panned as Geralt for the show and then he killed it so… I’m open to the idea of a change in the game if they need to do it for whatever reason.

Calling bullshit on this one. Jo Wyatt probably wanted more money knowing that this is now a successful IP. Thanks in so small part to her role."We believe she truly brought Ciri to life in a way that is both faithful to the character and exciting for fans."
Yes, the rumours are true - CD Projekt Red has indeed recast The Witcher 4's Ciri.
Whilst originally it only sounded as though the character's original actor, Jo Wyatt, had been replaced in Witcher 4's reveal trailer, the development studio has now confirmed it.
"Ciara Berkeley was cast as Ciri for The Witcher 4 cinematic reveal trailer," the studio said in a statement to TheGamer.
"Ciara is a talented actress who impressed us with her enthusiasm and vocal acting skills, and in this trailer we believe she truly brought Ciri to life in a way that is both faithful to the character and exciting for fans of the series."
The studio did not expand on why Berkeley had been brought in to replace Wyatt, but did confirm to press that Berkeley wasn't only brought in for the trailer, but will portray Ciri in the full game, too.
No, your ears were not deceiving you about Geralt, either. That was definitely Geralt voice actor Doug Cockle popping up at the end of the Witcher 4's reveal trailer, and yes, the white-haired monster hunter will absolutely feature in some way in the upcoming game.
While many had assumed as much - let's be honest, it is hard to miss the gravelling tones of Cockle's Geralt - developer CD Projekt has now officially confirmed what we all thought.

CDPR cheaping out. I have no doubt they will absolutely fuck the launch up of this game as they usually do.
