The official Witcher 3 thread

Those look like they were taken on console, especially that first one. Unless the compression process is killing quality. And why do games these days feel compelled to include effects like DoF and Motion Blur, I just hope it's an option to disable.

What you smoking? :p They're taken on PC, I think they look great.

Look at the lighting and the hair on the second screen. That's probably Ultra. Console version aren't going to get close to that. The fog/steam in the first screen also looks quite demanding.

You'll be able to turn off almost everything, if TW2 settings are anything to go by. He just did a pirouette in the 3rd screen though, it's somewhat justified.

Console footage coming later in the week, according to CDP's twitter account. Anyway, 3 hours till the embargo lifts for the Youtubers. Can't wait to see some new footage!

I don't know if the embargo lifting today is a good thing. I don't want to see too much of the game but I know I won't be able to resist.

Only 3 more weeks!
 
I haven't watched any of this yet, but an obvious warning, there will be spoilers for side quests in the prologue area. Not all the content will be in English either.

The main site has been given an overhaul.

Finally, a good video explaining character specification, leveling, alchemy, durability and all that type of stuff. Interesting new systems they've got there:

Here's part 1 as well for those who missed it:

More screens:



Witcher 2 was all about picking one of your bros, Witcher 3 will be about picking one of your hoes.

Ah yes, 'fencing'. Well, that didn't go as planned.

Can't wait to tell Emhyr and Nilfgaard to go plough themselves. :p If you've read the books, you'll know that Emhyr is a swindler and a calculated lunatic. No way he's getting Ciri.

Here's some Ciri gameplay, starts at about 3 minutes:

My girlfriend pre-ordered the game today for me, for my birthday. :D

Would have liked the Steam version, but beggars can't be choosers. "whistling:

I played both the others. I have to confess I'm quite terrible at them, but I really enjoy the story.

Good to hear! I never found the games that difficult though. I guess it's different play styles. I like reading the journal/notes and preparing, which makes both games rather easy.

If you like the story, then you should consider reading the books. The first book is a short story collection called 'The Last Wish', it's only 250 pages so it's quite short. I've just started my final playthrough of TW1, and after reading two books in the series, I've caught on to more than a few references that I didn't get the first time through. Also the last short story in the book, aptly titled The Last Wish is about Geralt meeting Yennefer, and it's absolutely fantastic.
I can give you a link if you want to read it. ;)

Unfortunately they messed up the order when translating them to English, so the 2nd book, 'The Sword of Destiny', which is another short story collection and the sequel to The Last Wish, but the prequel to the first main novel, Blood of Elves, is only being released on the 20th of May. Yeah, the order is quite complicated, took me a while to understand which book to read. Arguably that's also the most important one to read when to comes to the story of TW3. Fine for me though, seeing as I'll only be playing TW3 at the end of the month. Scrapping together the last of that SSD and GTX970 money. "whistling: Glorious high settings at 60FPS await.

Sigh a video of the ultra settings have been leaked.

All the footage from the Youtube event was filmed at Ultra settings, without nVidia hairworks and physx though. Not sure how it can be a leak when it's almost 5 days later and all the Youtubers are showing the same version of the game :p
 

Voice acted by the same person who did femHawke from DA2 apparently. She sounds a lot like Lara Croft for some reason.


Sweet digs, Geralt. :p
