I might not need another game for the rest of my life.

Something is really bugging me about how trees sway in the wind. It's like they're moving too fast or too much or something.

 

[ironcreed]

Anybody made a gif with the lady showing off her magic skills while siting on the horse near the beginning of the trailer?

Here you are, good sir.

 

[Tacitus_]

and even... RACISM.

Cool trailer, that part was weird.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArsonMurderAndJaywalking

Not to downplay racism, but war crimes are a bit more severe :lol

 

[The Shogun]

BTW forget the downgrade talk that was going on, this trailer is GORGEOUS. I mean those graphics in a massive open world game? Dear Lord Almighty

Edit: Also the "racism" part might seem weird to those unfamiliar with Witcher games but its actually heavily important to that Universe. The people in Geralts world are extremely racist. In fact there are wars and stuff fought over it. In many areas humans, elves, and dwarves are enemies

 

[jim2point0]

Two undersized snaps from two low quality videos of two different interior scenes.

What are you trying to show us exactly?

You could argue that the top image has better lighting and tangible atmosphere, whereas the bottom scene looks flatter and has no atmopshere at all... but I'm just hoping, like you said, that they are different scenes entirely. Still, you expect them to show off the best.

LOD is the most concerning thing to me now. Seeing distant terrain, buildings, and trees looking much worse now than they used to. But I think it's going to be a long, long freakin before we start seeing better distant LOD. That's probably brutal on VRAM.

It reminds me of Dragon's Dogma, actually. "The wind is pushing me!"

 

[zkorejo]

They should have not released the trailer so soon. Its still about 40 days away from release.

For me the wait for TW3 is going to be as hard as it was for GTA V in 2013.

 

[Megasoum]

Here you are, good sir.

Hah, thanks!

 

[Alienous]

He is basically just standing closer to a pointlight in one. That is really the only appreciable difference in "lighting."

No, there's a definite disparity in the shadows (or lack-thereof) on NPC's and objects in the scene (like the furniture). They don't seem to be casting or receiving shadows of the same quality as the first image.

E3 trailer

Newest trailer

There's an image in this thread of the foliage being a definite upgrade, so it's not all negative.

 

[jim2point0]

The only times I remember the white theme exists are when I see people quoting screenshots of it. Dark theme for life.

Be that as it may, it's the way they delivered and wrote the line that seemed kind of weird.

 

[deadlast]

I was going to wait for this game, but now I think I need to preorder it.

 

[RaidenXZ]

Was going to buy this on PS4 because I wasn't sure my HD7950 was up to the task, but then I got the PC version for $20 so I'm happy. Also get to bring in my save from Witcher 2 as well apparently

 

[Kiru]

I had to.

 

[Lasthope106]

Hot damn! Really wish I hadn't seen that trailer. Thankfully I watched with audio off so that only spoiled half as much. My most anticipated game this year, and it's going to require a new rig to play.

 

[op_ivy]

Watching this I can say only one thing.

CYBERPUNK IS NEXT.

God damn that will be something to see

 

[The Shogun]

Be that as it may, it's the way they delivered and wrote the line that seemed kind of weird.

It may seem that way and I understand, but it is by far one of the most prominent ethical themes in the games. In fact the entire Act in Flotsam in Witcher 2 and its destructive ending is about race. The Universe of The Witcher is very very dark in terms of themes. Its a messed up place.

 

[mnannola]

This makes me want to cowboy up and finish Witcher 2. Got about 5 hours in and just stopped for whatever reason.

Next to a window during a different time of day. Those shadows are from the sun.

It sounds like there is still more to come. IGN and Gamespot both have multipart video features they are rolling out in the next couple weeks and there'll probably be a launch trailer (or 3, like they did with W2).

 

[sublimit]

I had to.

Lol nice!

The 19th of May is my birthday! This looks incredible.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Ok this trailer sold me on the game.


But Question, do i have to play the first two games to enjoy this one?

 

[Nokterian]

I had to.

This had me laughing xD

White theme is part of the punishment you get when you're banned.

 

[The Shogun]

 

[Exentryk]

I had to.

Haha, awesome!

 

[TimeEffect]

Ahh, I want it, but I am kicking myself for buying Dragon Age day 1 and never finishing it, because I got really bored with the story and repetitive quests and combat

This looks much better, but Ill have to wait

Witcher 3 OT | Everything you want in an RPG ...Even Racism

 

[ironcreed]

I had to.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looking great!

 

[Linconan]

I had to.

Perfection

 

[ironcreed]

The world looks so rich and alive that it's ridiculous.

 

[Red Hood]

Looks great, I love how it's very colourful.

 

[TimeEffect]

Something is really bugging me about how trees sway in the wind. It's like they're moving too fast or too much or something.

That was a time lapse.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I've watched this trailer at least 6 times, so good.

I'm going to go watch it again.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

lol, that deer is like "oh cool a witcher! oh shit it's Geralt, nope nope nope"

 

[trudderham]

Is it me or does the deer on the right just fade into view?

 

[ironcreed]

I'm going to go watch it again.

Same here.

 

[ymgve]

That was a time lapse.

No, I mean in every shot with trees in them, even the ones that are clearly 1x speed like gameplay segments.

 

[Hollow]

I had to.

Perfection.gif

 

[Daingurse]

Fuck, I need this game now.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

This is too much. Simply too much. I mean, I knew it was going to be amazing, but this? This is what it is to go beyond amazing.

 

[zkorejo]

It sounds like there is still more to come. IGN and Gamespot both have multipart video features they are rolling out in the next couple weeks and there'll probably be a launch trailer (or 3, like they did with W2).

Yes I read that yesterday.... I also read somewhere that IGN will be posting some spoilerish videos too.. so I will try and stay away from those.

 

[ScepticMatt]

Characters don't look much improved from the last game

Did we play the same game? Characters are the biggest improvement in Witcher 3.

 

[JJDubz]

Is it me or does the deer on the right just fade into view?

Small pines are blocking it.

 

[Naminator]

Lol "...even racism."

LMAO my sides.
