Witchers slay monsters best because it\u2019s their profession.<\/p>\n<p>TV spots are supposed to be succinct and to the point, and that\u2019s exactly what this <em>The Witcher 3<\/em> TV trailer does. Suffice to say, Geralt is going to save the world, he takes his job very seriously, but he\u2019s going to send you the invoice afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zilsg9xltr8\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the world of <em>The Witcher 3<\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/74616-the-world-of-the-witcher-3-is-revealed-its-massive.html\">We knew that <em>The Witcher 3\u2019s <\/em>world was massive<\/a>, we\u2019ve known it for a while now, and it had better be at around <a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/74347-the-witcher-3-goes-gold-installation-size-revealed.html\">35GB<\/a> \u2013 but just how big is it? A rather ingenious individual has used a gameplay demonstration and aligned the terrain with a recently provided map of the world. Throw in a location on the map as Geralt crosses the terrain and we have a pretty accurate depiction of its size.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zFfTSs2309k\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Like we\u2019ve said before, and as CD Projekt RED has reiterated over and over again, its world is large. CD Projekt RED is even advertising a <a href=\"http:\/\/thewitcher.com\/news\/view\/1009\">compendium<\/a> for the series to prove it. It\u2019s as proud of its work as it is of its tech, namely the REDengine 3 (how\u2019s this for a segue?).<\/p>\n<p>Aimed primarily at Nvidia fans and anyone with a capable enough Geforce graphics card, this latest dev diary for the game divulges a lot of the technology behind what makes it all look so darn pretty, and why a Geforce card will make it look even prettier. It\u2019s all very impressive \u2013 you don\u2019t even need to be a PC gamer to watch this.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g6aXj69a6XE\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em> releases for the Xbox One, PC and PS4 on May 19<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_74716\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/The-Witcher-3-Geralt.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74716\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74716\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/The-Witcher-3-Geralt.png\" alt=\"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt\" width=\"375\" height=\"503\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-74716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Geralt is what you might call a badass.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Don&#8217;t forget that two expansions are set to release following the game itself<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/73921-the-witcher-3-to-continue-on-via-expansions.html\">The Witcher 3 to continue on via two Expansions<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/74151-the-witcher-3s-expansion-pass-will-cost-around-r300.html\">The Witcher 3\u2019s Expansion Pass will cost around R300<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three new The Witcher 3 videos, oh boy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":221,"featured_media":74718,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2122,1969,15397,1239,1853,2155,10065],"class_list":["post-74714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-cd-projekt-red","tag-news-2","tag-pc","tag-playstation-4","tag-playstation4","tag-the-witcher-3","tag-xbox-one"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/221"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74714\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
