I don't normally like playing games on hard. I wish they'd do the stuff listed here for hard without making combat super hard.
I love having to worry about my hp overall and keeping track of health potions cause that's the only way to heal and playing like a survival game but I kinda suck at combat usually so I don't like playing too difficult bosses. It's kinda like I love how hardcore mode in New Vegas wasn't tied with difficulty but was a seperate thing (because I love that kind of thing but I am not big on combat that is too difficult). I wonder if it will let you change settings mid game? I may try hard and move it to medium if it just gets too frustrating to me.
What streams have shown you can find quite a lot food from various places and eating even e.g. one chicken leg seems to give you quite a lot HP back over X seconds. I think you guys should give Hard a try, if you have considered it until now, as game allows you to adjust difficulty level on the fly.
Edit: Watched Mendrox stream and
Yennefer seems to be an quite a character :b
From the Hitbox stream. About like the other one I made of the same area, but a bit longer.
lol gif from my stream? I tried to look at areas etc to give an outlook of the world

Time skip, some quests and creatures only come out/available at night etc.
To hasten passage of time. E.g. some events may be triggered only at specific times of day or monster you are hunting isn't in its nest during day so you can use meditation to quickly get into night time.

Can motion blur be turned off on consoles?

That area he's looking at isn't explorable, is it?

Yay!
A bummer that it is censored though.

You can change stuff midgame. Besides some stuff (No destination markers, only clues etc) can be switched on/off. Just that higher difficulties force stuff on, like less EXP etc..
Streaming first 4 hours again:

Unless you get many more health potions than you need/there's no way of getting completely screwed if you run out of them
Watched your Hitbox stream. Quality was very good and it's pleasure to keep stream on 2nd monitor when player handling sticks can play videogames

Yep, that's you.
It is max. settings on PC. Check this video :

You will see the same scenes like in PC vs. PS4 comparison.

I'd also like to know this.
Is it not? That's disappointing if correct, it looks a stunning area.
Sure looks like you will be able to explore it.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
Does anyone know how the difficulties work? Is it just damage/HP buffs or more?
Apparently you have to do a lot more work/research for a mission marker to appear on the map on Hard+. A bummer, really. Sometimes I just want the enemies to hit harder

Has that aspect been detailed anywhere? Like, has anyone detailed the difference between normal and hard for the quest markers? I'd like to know before starting...
Yes. Here is the Kaer Morhen map.
Wow, fantastic!

Nearly the same thing here my man, I got my copy at 2pm and have been waiting and waiting for dat 6pm to come.
Not sure, I'm in the same situation as you. I'm torn between Normal or Hard. I've heard Normal is pretty easy. But it sucks if I have to do more work to get quest markers to appear.
Any info in this? Any confirmation?

Ha! I'm totally opposite. I don't want the enemies to hit harder, I just want the game to make me stratagize more (and a more survival feel to it). I think New Vegas did it mostly right with them having a hardcore mode and a difficulty that were seperate from each other. That way you could have your harder hitting bosses without having to deal with more work/strategizing/trying to balance stuff out and I could ahve my more survival aspect and force me to think more about what I'm doing (like what I'm carrying for example) and make me work more to get those quests (more research) without having the harder combat.
I wonder why more games don't separate difficulty of combat with the other things they'll throw in to make things harder. It can't be that hard to implement (or at least make difficulty affect combat only and also have a seperate mode to make other stuff more difficult).
Our SHQ videos are up, showing the PS4 build. It's only from the first 30 minutes of the game, I didn't have time to play any more.

Mission marker as in part of the quest or marker as in quest available.
Dont mind the former do hate the later.
I just want to know when i walk into a town if a quest is available.
The sub parts of the quest i don't mind doing more work for it.
Are you saying that I could turn on the stuff like hp not regenerating and requiring food/health potions to regain HP without having to up difficulty? Or is that tied to difficulty only?

The valley should be explorable, I remember seeing a gif from the other side.

The Arabic translation is worth it. Also little changes so far in term of censoring, nothing that compromise the experience so far honestly. You'll see for yourself. Enjoy
Thank you Blim
Great as always! Love that you record in 60fps. Shows exactly how the game looks on screen
Would be really interesting to see the same areas on xbone

Thanks for these Blim. Looks stunning. Compared to the earliest footage, PBR makes it look more real.
Will you do PS4 vs Xbox One video? Or even just post impressions if there's any difference apart from resolution. Thanks.
Yes. Here is the Kaer Morhen map.
Do we know if it's explorable after the prologue?

This sounds fantastic.
I'm sold. Now to research whether or not I should buy on PS4 or PC. People are saying I'd get much better performance on PC, but if I can't hold close to 60fps with decent settings (medium would be fine), then playing on PS4 is more convenient.
What are your specs?
Yes, you can.
