Haha, I don't know if I'm being petty but it sounds like there is a DmC diss in there somewhere.

I thought about the same thing actually haha.

 

[mileS]

Surprised some people seemed "meh" on the idea of monster hunts. To me that shit sounds like the opening for the first Witcher. If they are anything like that... holy shit. Fits perfectly into the Witcher universe.

Really love the idea of having to seek out information about the type of monster or the story behind it, and preparing towards that. Much better than "Hey this monster needs killing" and just going to do it.

 

[toastyToast]

The thing I find refreshing and unorthodox (for now anyway) is how much information they've dropped in the first reveal. Usually we'd get some wack ass trailer with a logo and have to wait 6 months for actual info. With Cyberpunk and this, CDPR laid out their plans flat

I like the way these dudes conduct themselves

 

[Deadstar]

Yes! I can't wait. The question is....will my pc be able to run this or will I have to get it on a next gen console. Either way, the open world sounds amazing...I can't even imagine how awesome it will be.

Yeah but with Cyberpunk you have to wait until 2015 for the game.

Witcher 3 is most likely this year.

i think next year

 

[Lingitiz]

Hopefully I can get a Durango/Orbis by then. It'll be a lot cheaper going the console route then getting a powerful PC!

A $500-$600 machine would probably run it just as good, if not better than the console version. Plus you'd have the assurance of free DLC.

 

[Dmax3901]

So any word on when exactly the CD Projekt press event will be?

 

[antitrop]

Sorry, I like you. But massive title reading failure achieved here.

 

[Chrysalis]

Supposedly a trailer coming at 1pm Eastern Time.

Fuck

 

[hastethedav]

Been meaning to get into the witcher. Only 2 is on consoles right? Is it weird to jump in at the sequel? Or should I youtube some plot points?

 

[Dmax3901]

And how many hours until this time for those of outside the US?

11 till 1pm

 

[Auto_aim1]

CDPR is a really dedicated studio. Always looking to push the bar, do something new. If this was any other studio, The Witcher 3 would have already been released by now with minimal improvements.

 

[Hypron]

Ask wolframalpha

You lose some understanding of the world, characters, and political situation, but the plots of the first two games are relatively self-contained. I would heavily recommend playing the first if you have the pc for it, but if consoles are it, you can jump in with the second.

 

[SparkTR]

A $500-$600 machine would probably run it just as good, if not better than the console version. Plus you'd have the assurance of free DLC.

Also zero DRM, that's a major selling point for me.

 

[Hypron]

CDP also makes more money from PC versions, and I love to support them! Although, my current computer won't run the game well and I probably won't be able to afford an upgrade (I'm still a poor uni student), that sucks

 

[spindoctor]

Well we all knew it was going to be announced today but still, great news. Monster hunting was sorely lacking in the 2nd game so their focus on it is welcome.

I wish the twits at Gameinformer would update their Android app from the piece of shit it currently is. I'd actually buy the issues of the magazine which had interesting news (like this or the GTA reveal) if they would let me do it on Android.

 

[Dmax3901]

11 till 1pm

Ask wolframalpha

One account saying 11 hours, another one saying 5... Which is correct?

 

[Hypron]

Please, I want to know more. Then to play it.

D: I had a really hard time following that. I kept think they said emphysema.

 

[Dmax3901]

?

That's 5am for me damn.

i don't like that recap personally, but i guess it works for people who wanna skip the first one. it's still missing so much stuff. kinda wish they did a better recap.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

I would like to get naked and wear its skin.

 

[Perkel]

Unfortunately yeah. I have The Last Wish and Blood of Elves sitting on my desk patiently awaiting for when the others come out in English.

OH SUP TOTP

Look here

Fan translated rest of the books. And it is good translation

 

[Persona86]

That's 5am for me damn.

Where's that, Australia maybe?

6PM here in London, very nice timing.

 

[Typographenia]

i don't like that recap personally, but i guess it works for people who wanna skip the first one. it's still missing so much stuff. kinda wish they did a better recap.

The game is certainly worth playing, that's for sure! People should just do that instead, I say.

 

[shintoki]

I would like to get naked and wear its skin.

In time, we can do that. And it's completely okay, because its The Witcher 3

 

[Hypron]

That's 5am for me damn.

Haha I know that feel. The last 2 CDP conferences started at 4:30/5am for me (although, I remember that I was pulling an all nighter for a programming project when I saw the one where they announced Cyberpunk 2077, it really helped me stay awake haha). This one starts a 7am though, so that's not as bad.

 

[toastyToast]

When do preorders open?

I don't give a fuck

 

[jim-jam bongs]

The game is certainly worth playing, that's for sure! People should just do that instead, I say.

I might put together a How To Survive Act I guide to get more people to stick it out. Personally I enjoy it but I agree that it's lacking in focus, and that the game really kicks it up a notch or several once you get to Act II.

In time, we can do that. And it's completely okay, because its The Witcher 3

The world won't understand but I say fuck em.

 

[hateradio]

Hopefully I'll have a great PC by the time this comes out, so that I can play 2 and follow it with this.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Look here

Read my mind! I was just going to open a tab to get looking for that since I remembered Sword of Destiny came between TLW and BoE. I just want to have them on my desk and I wish the relationship between Sapkowski and the US publisher was better off. We've been due for Contempt since what, 3-4 years ago?

 

[j0hnny_385]

Day fucking one! \o/ I'll have Haswell by then in my machine so my PC will be ready

Spoiler

I hope...

But I'll get the NextBox and/or PS4 version just in case.

Hype level through the roof!

 

[Pooya]

this is gonna be good. no delays plz

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Pretty sure I need this now.

 

[antitrop]

Pretty sure I need this now.

Well the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord

 

[Clay Davis]

World supposedly 20% bigger than Skyrim's, says development team. [Tentative, obviously]
30-40 minutes to cross world on Horseback

holy shit. :O

Yep! This is exactly what I first thought too. That TW1 trailer was fucking amazing.

 

[Perkel]

In terms of combat, I hope they don't make it so roll intensive. Swordplay should be a more back and forth/parry counter feel which is what I thought they were aiming for...

Geralt now does a pivot move "that retains its defensive utility without game-breaking mobility". So no more dodge-roll.

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW witchers fight in books and dodge=roll was always bad. They fixed it OMG

 

[FGMPR]

I want them to tell me fast travel is out and that the world isn't being built around its existence in mind.

 

[ShdwDrake]

Wait so its coming to the Wii U?

 

[LiK]

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW witchers fight in books and dodge=roll was always bad. They fixed it OMG

what's a pivot move? more like he actually blocks?

 

[NemesisPrime]

The best RPG of the last 10 years. Day one for me!

 

[Eideka]

I will buy whatever graphic card to run this in its full glory.

 

[Gully State]

Sounds more like a sidestep + half spin...
