The-Witcher-3-Igni-2

We’ve seen The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt already. We’ve seen quite a bit of it actually. We already know it’s going to be one of the most visually stunning games ever released, but now CD Projekt Red is just showing off.

They weren’t in the spotlight during any of the major conferences, but that didn’t stop CD Projekt Red from releasing probably the best little bit of gameplay of the show this year. A new six minute teaser was released late yesterday, showing Geralt of Rivia in all his chainmail glory. Some up close shots of him during conversations show just how many little details have been crammed into character models, with the White Wolf looking truly spectacular.

But things truly become marvelous during combat. Geralt’s spells looked underwhelming in The Witcher 2, but that’s not the case this time around. Seeing little sparks fly from his hand as he hurls flames at enemies is gorgeous, topped only by some incredible water physics that bring Geralt’s version of a Force Push to life.

I think you understand what I’m trying to say by now; The Witcher 3 is just getting more and more stunning by the day. The final chapter in CD Projekt Red’s acclaimed trilogy will hit shelves in February next year.

      No no, just tell her you bought it for her too – because he’s a lover & a fighter. She’ll understand right?

        If I told her that, she’d kick me off until she finishes the game herself. She finished Tomb Raider before I even started, man. Don’t be giving her any ideas!

    Aw yis! In that header image Geralt is all, “Stand back COD soldier man, I’VE GOT THIS! And after that, I’ll take every female relative you have that’s over the age of consent, because I’m the White Wolf, baby!” Or that’s how I imagine it.

          All effort is on The Witcher 3. I’m sure they don’t want focus off The Wither 3 at all. But that doesn’t mean the team working on Cyberpunk 2077 is not busy with it. But for now till release it will only be Witcher 3 promotion.

          It’s amazing how that Cyberpunk 2077 trailer and just knowing it’s CD Projekt Red behind a cyberpunk rpg game, created so much excitement.

          Yeah they’re a small-ish studio, so I imagine they’re 100% focused on The Witcher 3 right now. They also warned that Cyberpunk was years away from releasing when they first announced it.

          I’m super excited to see their adaptation of it though 😀

      No. You buy the game then you fake your death, get a custom build coffin with a PC built in, and enjoy the game without life getting in the way. When you done just hope for a wifi signal.

    I’m busy reading and trying to get more Witcher books. Then I’m goin gto play The Witcher 1 (which I never played) then I’m going to play The Witcher 2.

    The The Witcher 3 promised at 100 hours and more playthrough. Now I take my time to play games, so I see myself taking a long ass time playing through The Witcher 3 and then of course I’ll have to replay it a couple of times.

    So The Witcher 3 is going to become the lowest common denominator. How many games I am going to skip because it just doesn’t cut it anymore. Oh and then Cyberpunk 2077 is coming. The gaming industry needs to change in order to compete.

      Once you have read all the books and watch the E3 2014 trailer again it will blow your mind because you pick up on a lot of the little details.

      Don’t forget to import your save game from 1 to 2. Gives you some nice starting equipment & you’ll get a few references to what decisions you made in 1.

    I’ve never really believed in Love at first sight…until I saw this trailer. My word! Geralt’s character model and textures could pass off as cinematic quality during these convo scenes.

    CD Projekt RED announced that the Xbox One collectors edition will include a clothed map and playing cards that’s based on the in-game card game.

    CD Projekt RED doesn’t need this kind of bad press now. The Witcher 3 needs to sale well. People are already losing their shit on the Witcher forum.

    This is really showing that Microsoft is in trouble. Buying a Tomb Raider title. Buying exclusive content for The Witcher 3. I would feel sorry for the Xbox One but Microsoft announced a DRM console. So fuck you Microsoft. I revel in your failure.

    The Xbox One version is only getting cards and a map extra. I couldn’t care. The Xbox One will be the most shit version of the game. So I guess extra cards and map balances that out. Microsoft hopes that’s the case.
    With the Xbox One’s resolution you won’t be able to see the cards in the game. So now you get the cards with the game so you can actually see it.
