Im not a the witcher fan or follow the series but where is the dude with white hair?
You mean the Witcher ? He's not the protagonist anymore.. now is the woman .. who cant be The Witcher.. if they respect the lore... So no Geralt.. no Witcher.. just Ciri. Awsome. But dont complain because appears we are not allowed. Just be happy and consume product and be happy for next product.

Fuck yeah

No bullshit. It’s Witcher 4. Not a spin off of any kind. Looks like a direct sequel to the original trilogy.


And Ciri <3 her Witcher ending is canon then? So happy.

Shame it’s probably like 5 years away lol.
Ciri was speculated to be MC since 2015, nothing woke about this.

But making her ugly? Ugh...
She won’t look like that in the actual game. Geralt looked different in the cinematic trailers too.

Hope so.

Her jawline and eyebrows makes her look less like Ciri.

Also love how ugliness is womanhood for people. They could have made her thicker.. but we can't have sexy bodies in gaming in 2025 I guess.

She does look different but she is probably meant to be a lot older. She was like 21/22 in Witcher 3 I think. She could be 30-40 here.

I wouldn’t worry about it until we see some real gameplay.
 
I think Ciri doesn't look as good as her 3 version because she's probably much older here, basically a
I always liked Ciri in Witcher 3 as well as Triss, Yennifer, and Geralt. And I'm interesting in her being a main protagonist. But I definitely agree that she looks ugly and weird in the new one. My hope is because she's a lot older but I doubt it's just that. She don't just look older which would have been fine but she looks off and weird and not in the good way either. PC version will fix her which is what I game on. 'm still interested in the game cause I've been disappointed with the whole show since they didn't show RE9, a Remake, FFIX Remake, GTA VI, Elder Scrolls VI, or Half Life 3.

Looks middle age so around 40 just like Geralt in Witcher 3.

Yeah it's a CG trailer so it's not how she'll look in game or in game cutscenes. I remember Tifa looking very different in FFVII Remake's CG scene compared to her ingame cutscenes.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
So is Ciri have the option to sleep with different men...or women in this game?
 
anyone that checks my account can see that im as anti woke as someone can be

but this is fucking stupid , shes not a regular woman , ciri was always stronger than any witcher , she was capable to travel through dimensions ffs

Unless there is some forced lesbian shit or some anti men writing i cant see how this is woke

And her face looks like shes older , do you people not age ? do you look 21 forever ?
First of all, we’re just sick of established franchises with male leads replaced by female leads. From Star Wars to LOTR, to Marvel to Ghostbusters, at this point I’m just done with it. If you want a female lead, do a new IP, like Horizon or some such, stop trying to fuck what is already established.
As for aging, isn’t it part of the lore that Witcher’s age much slower than normal people? Isn’t Geralt over 100 years old and look in his prime?
 
So seeing how cdpr are budies with nvidia you guys think they got access to top tier silicons. Probably developing on a gtx 6xxx series lol.

Its actually the opposite, Geralt is 40 in Witcher 3, but looks a lot older.

Did you miss the bit where he trained her? As for the aging you have to actually age first before you can say you are aging slowly. Talk about seeing everything through culture war glasses.

All the sexist pigs out in full force tonight, as expected of Neogaf. It's not like Ciri is a random character out of nowhere ffs

Come off it bruv, I mean im all good with this, we all knew Ciri would be the main character after The Witcher 3, but that Naughty Dog shit, it looks like we will be playing as a teenage boy spreading our woke nonsense across the universe.

As far as purely cinematic trailers go, this was pretty great, I like that they treated it like a short film with a story, a lesson some of these other trailers could have learned from. Astonishing graphics too, although CDPR are infamous for over-promising on graphics.

We all knew Geralt wasn't going to be the main, so Ciri is probably the best case scenario as far as alternatives go.

I like Ciri as a character and I am excited about this game. But her face doesn't look right in this trailer and I didn't like the way she was being portrayed either.
Well she wasn't a Witcher in the past games, she was just trained as one. But now she seems to have actually undergone the mutations to become a Witcher proper, so she would look different.

Older Ciri looks awesome. Its only a cinematic but its my fav reveal of the show, just have to temper my hype because this is probably releasing in 27.
 
Watching it again, Ciri does look better in the last part of the trailer and less off compared to the rest of her appearance in the other parts of the trailer. Basically a older version of herself. The final ingame cutscenes could also look different compared to the CG trailer.

The ending where she becomes a Witcher is the ending I got on my first playthrough in Witcher 3 so I'm more welcome in her being the main character plus I like her a lot in Part 3 and wanted her to have more skills and be more playable. I do really like Geralt too even if Witcher 3 was my only Witcher game but the guy retired in the second expansion. He deserves the rest and retirement after all he's been through. I definitely prefer playing as Ciri over a new random Witcher since I'm already used to her in part 3.

Plus the monsters she fights could very well be stronger than the ones fought by Geralt because Ciri is a powerful sorceress with great potential. I can imagine her endgame power in lore being more powerful than Geralth. So she could end up fighting stronger foes with the use of her sorcery and witcher ability combined.

With her Witcher's physical powers and her powerful magic from her Elder Blood. She could surpass both Yennifer and Geralt.

Are you a Witcher fanboy? Not trying to start shit, genuine question.

for everyone saying that we shouldn’t have the preference to want to play as Geralt instead of Ciri can eat a dick. We have preferences. Calling people fragile or whatever word you want to use just makes you sound like a bitch that can’t handle other peoples opinions. You can play it if you want to. No one is telling you not to.

I got the strangest sense of Deja-vu when watching that Witcher 4 trailer, I could have sworn I have seen it before. Weird!!!

I purchased the Witcher 2 and 3 on steam, Xbox and just the Witcher 3 on ps5. I’m not buying this game. CDPR is free to make their choices and we are free to do the same with our $$$.

At the end of the day, I wish them the best.

Make this a bait and switch and have Geralt be MC halfway in CD Project

He's too popular of a character. It's probably guaranteed he'll have a significant narrative role, if not playable in certain segments.

And again? What's the issue with Ciri? I don't find a "woke agenda" here. It's like being mad because Ripley is the main person in Aliens and you'd just prefer it be Hicks because "girl boss bad".

Maybe I'm misinterpreting. I'm really tired. That wasn't directed at you(aside from talking about Geralts possible role)

Nah unlike intergalactic there is no woke agenda here imo. Ciri is the logical choice. I always felt she was uninteresting though compared to Geralt or Letho or Triss.
