Whaaahhhhhh?!?!?!? I though you of all people would have already done so Dennis. How can you resist the temptation of such a glorious very high quality screenshot album?

This revelation has me stumped, I have to re-evaluate my perception of your role and status on this forum. :p

I don't understand why this industry keep pumping out all these games. No one has time for that.

Last time I didn't have a backlog was when I was 13.

Guessing the CE has been posted already?

Just wanted to say something that really points out the quality of that trailer and perhaps the game.

My girlfriend who occassinally games (more indie platformers or village sim games like Banished) was glued to the trailer when I put it on. I just full screened, she heard the music as it started and came over.

Then she said, "Wow, 2015, that is quite the wait."

Indeed it is. I will be ready though.

I have just decided to read all the books and then replay witcher 1 and 2.
should be doable till february

I always loved the witcher games, because they are simply amazing RPGs, but this trailer with all these character made me want to finally experience the whole franchise, with this huge open world RPG as its finale.
 
I implore ANYBODY interested in this game to check out the GOG deal

- you get discounts for owning Witcher 1 + 2
- you get Neverwinter Nights
- artbooks
- soundtrack
- CREDIT FOR AUSTRALIAN OVERPRICING

I don't own a lot of GOG games but if this is the way they do games, I'm going to start shopping there more often.
 
I should really try and give the first game another go.


Also maybe at some point I should finally look into a graphics card for this piece of shit Dell that can run the second game and not make the power supply catch fire.

One thing I don't get about the EU/Aus/UK overpricing thing... since they own GOG why don't they just drop the price? Is it to do with sales tax maybe?

While CDPR is funding the game's development internally, its retail distribution partners are splitting the $25m marketing budget, so unfortunately CDPR can't tell the likes of Scamco to shove the AUD$90 price up their arses.

Ah right thanks. That's an insane price. You have to love GOG. Not sure due to living circumstances which platform I'll be getting yet but hopefully PC.

I'm in Ireland and Gamestop were charging €75 for Watch Dogs, over $100. For the regular version.

At least I won't feel bad when I buy a cheap Russian copy on Steam.
 
Not really a shock.

The PC version will have über sampling. So running it max will probably require hardware that doesn't exist yet.

That said, at 1080p, with most settings maxed, I don't see 30fps being a problem.

Especially if they are saying 1080p, 30fps, high PC settings for PS4.

Exactly where are they saying this? Because I have already pre ordered this game for PS4 and even I think it will murder consoles at high settings. And I mean straight up cut the throat and let it bleed out murder.

The Witcher 2 is region-locked, so I'd say the only chance of cheap RU copies lies in the ROW sub not having a list of restricted countries and the gifting/trading restriction (the South Park situation, in other words). Here's hoping, though.

Am I the only one who really started to long for a Witcher game with a female protagonist when this character showed up in the trailer?

I personally always thought it was pretty much a given that future Witcher games are gonna feature Ciri as the protagonist. CD Projekt said it's the end of Geralt as the main character but not the end of the Witcher saga. Then it gets out that she is gonna play a part in the game. Now she shows up in a trailer, all adult and shit.

Well, they did say this is the end of Geralt's story. They never said anything about the end of The Witcher series of games...

The collectors edition is NZ$279 (US$238) on PC and NZ$299 (US$254) on PS4 where I live... It's so damn expensive but I really want it... I've got the CE of the first two games, which I really liked. The artbooks are great and I can't say no to a statue. But still. That's like half the price of a PS4.

I could preorder it to secure one and then see whether I can save enough money over summer to pay for it I guess...

Oh, I didn't know it was a known character. This makes me happy. :)

That trailer was badass but could have been better with the music from the mortal kombat x trailer.

Nope.
The song is Sargon by Percival, a polish band like CDPR, and the cool thing is the devs said they want to push local music and bands iirc.
So it's cool as it is.

Also i'm absolutely amazed of how "cinematic" the gameplay looks even if they stated there won't be any QTE's or similars gimmicks that usually comes with said "experience". Their new target system is doing wonders i guess.
 
Quite a popular one, too, it seems.
She's (among other things) the only female Witcher in existence.

I only played the Witcher 2 and read up a bit on the Witcher... But am I right in saying that Ciri is
a witcher, she was trained by Geralt but never had any of the genetic mutations?

I read that up ages ago but as I never played the first Witcher game the plot confuses me a little!

Was Ciri in the first Witcher game?

Why is she popular, besides as above mentioned that she's a Witcher

No, she wasn't in the first two games, although there are references to her in dialogue and in-game books. She's a major character in the novels, the adopted daughter of Geralt and Yennefer. She's also got some pretty gnarly powers.
