Frustrating that the last week or so my x1 has W3 sat there saying 'Ready to start'
Witcher 3 gameplay from YouTubers from CDPR event
- Thread starter Tovarisc
- Start date
Are they really? Interesting.
Hoping that's a sign that the PS4 version isn't a trainwreck. Still kinda worried though, there's been a lot of broken shit on these new consoles.

The problem is the false marketing to the console crowd. "Oh hey new Witcher 3 gameplay. oops that was from a PC in 4k 60fps"...
Whats your problem that some people want to see footage from their platform of choice?
Its about time to show this thing running on one of these consoles.
I have the game preloaded for almost 3 weeks now on my XboxOne. And im worried that ive wasted money on the inferior version. Because if there is no issue with the console versions and if it looks amazing on this too, why not be proud and show it?

They were pretty open on every footage they showed (including E3 X1 footage).
If you are so worried about the X1 version why pre order it?
It was about PC copies. Moment console copies start to leak we start to get story spoilers, streams etc.
Why to blame CDPR for MS being a cunt and mislabeling footage in attempt to pull fast one?
I don't think anyone is saying that you don't deserve to get footage from platform of your choice, but imo all doom saying about them hiding it on purpose etc. is getting out of hand. They have 2+ weeks until 19th and I don't see why they wouldn't keep their word about releasing footage this week.
Also if you are so concerned about how it will look and/or perform on XBO why you already pre-ordered it?

Game is not out for 2 weeks. Calm down.
German vo always kinda suck
Dosnt germany have some really good professional voice actors or something, just that they are not used here, or is basically just mediocre in general.
In Spain we have amazing ones, the problem is that when its done badly (getting cheap actors or amateurs, like pc games during the 2000s) it really stands out in a bad way. Games quality dubbing is going up in our days, so its a pity they are not trying again (this time not cheaping out) and dub it to spanish, or at least tanslate the subs with the books quality.

Oh cmon... that was a YEAR ago... who knows if this really was on a Xbone.
I preorded it because i can? And because the last trailer helped me getting it? I can still have concerns.
There is NO excuse for holding back Console footage this long. The game went gold last month.
This kind of marketing really has to change.
They can be pretty good but most voice actors don't really do a good job working their characters

Germany's VO industry is extremely talented in general. Geralt's German VO in TW2 was OK, not the best. IT definitely could be quite amazing given other dubs found in German.

Oh you're right, sorry
But what if they established an alike system for console-copies and didn't say anything about it yet? Nah, that'd probably go too far anyway
That's literally the opposite direction the thread needs to go in.
As far I know piracy isn't an issue on current-gen consoles so there is no need to put protections in place for that. It's what this PC system is about after all, preventing pre-release piracy. I expect a lot spoilers etc. week or so before release, seems to be about right when console copies of games start to leak.

But if they're going that far protecting their game from leaking before, why not go all the way an use the same system on consoles too?
I would go for it if I was a developer to be honest...
I doubt that you wasted money, people that played it on the xb1 have said it looks fine. But it is by all metrics the inferior version.
I can't believe there's actually people still saying this. Why would console buyers be any different in wanting gameplay footage for their platform? This thread has people trying to find every video they can of the PC version but the console folks are met with replies acting like it's an odd request.

Please delete that totally unnecessary
We're still weeks away from release though...
If you think they were lying about the E3 demo, why would you believe anything they show is X1 footage? And I don't think anyone is saying your concern is invalid, they just dont understand why you would preorder this "inferior" game you have little faith in. Personally, I think that needs to change more than anything else in this industry; everythign else will fall in place afterall.
That gave me a good chuckle. Thank you.
I kind of prefer the default hair without Hairworks. Hairworks makes his hair look like strands of spaghetti.
Lol please there are many games where PC users are kept completely in the dark on how the game looks and runs. You'll get footage before the game comes out so relax.
Because it's not possible to do that on consoles unless that console has an Always Online rule.
CDPR fanbase is mostly PC gamers due to PC exclusivity for W1 and W2(for some time until 360 version released) of course they are showing the best version for their fanbase. They are giving us ps4 footage before release also from journalists playing the game(i think in feb or early march) we know the console versions aren't clusterfucks except for some fps drops that are supposed to be fixed by release.
I'm waiting to see the PS4 version as well but I have faith in the devs to deliver us an amazing experience.
Also since when has a console version of a game been so downgraded from PC that it's a joke? An abomination? Taking the Piss?
PC games are just higher Res, more AA, better draw distance versions of the same game.
Look at GTAV or AC:Unity for example, the PC versions are just the same game but with less AA and better draw distance.
Other than that, this game is still gonna be a pretty game and just as pretty as the PC version.

Tho GOG isn't Always Online service either and there is system in place that prevents physical PC copies from being played pre-release, as they register to GOG. Physical and GOG copies are protected by having some key files missing.

Except that.. they aren't. But OK.

It isn't an odd request. But commonly in most games the tables are turned, so PC totally understand but the game still hasn't been released so hold tight.
I'm not concerned about it being downgraded. That's expected given the hardware limitations of these consoles. I just want it to function alright. Broken mainstream games seem to become more common every year.
But do you need to have online in order to download the missing parts? If so, my point still stands. unless they force you to download the missing parts (which would cause a huge backlash), they can't do that for the console versions.

Sheeesh, who are the chicks in this pic? God damn.
Not sure about Ciri, but I think the lady playing Triss is called Kristina.
Pretty sure I've seen her before -

Haven't they already shipped review copies so it has to be in playable state.
Most reviewers never bother with fps or technical shit though. Look at how old gen gta5 was received.

A PC elitist using anime? Seems legit.
I'm sure they should have some console footage available without those problems being evident.

Smoking hot.
Well whole missing files aspect do imply that you need access Internet once during installation process, yes. Apparently download isn't huge, but without those files game won't work.
Why they can do that for PC, but can't do that to consoles? Not every PC is online either.

Expectations. The console market has always been about buying a game and playing it when you get home. If you need to download a key to play the game, then a portion of your customer base wouldn't be able to play the game they just bought. It's fine when it's a MP only game, but for a SP only game, it'd cause a ton of backlash.
Seeing how PS4 review copies have been sent out, we will see PS4 footage next week at the latest.
Yeah it'll be the inferior version but at least it won't be PS3 Skyrim completely broken inferior. What a joke that was.
