But will it be...

 

[Freeman76]

this is probably 7 years away at least, who knows what advancements will happen tech-wise in that time. Guarantee it will have all the queer shit we get rammed down our throats nowadays though to appease Resetera

This is the company that did “Switch it Up” ad for Cyberpunk.

 

[knguyen]

Weighty, bloody combat, open world with interesting locations and loots. And please, no woke nonsense.

 

[Musashipan]

What about my boy Geralt?
Not sure if I can play without him

 

[samoilaaa]

But will it be...

next gen looking witchers

I'm thinking it will be an overweight black trans muslim woman.

[poppabk]

Always concerning when someone comes out denying something no-one said.

 

[Inuteu]

I hope that does not mean more Ciri levels

as we got more mary jane levels in spiderman that absolutely no one asked for

 

[jufonuk]

Switch (successor) port when ?

 

[Windom Earle]

Jesus not surprised

 

[Fabieter]

I thought the skill trees and stats were pretty lame rho. Hopefully they will improve that.

They just need a good combat system, a more balanced challenge (w3 was piss easy even kn death march after a while) and letting the dude who wrote the dlc for w3 and cb2077 to write the main plot aswell.

An advanced nextgen monster\npcs ecosystem in the open world would be the icing but i don't really expect that from the people who had to patch their last open world for 2 years to get on par with fucking gta3.

Oh almost forgot, gimme different weapons or make the swords different with different moveset, i was done with the fucking spinning ballet 5 hours inside the game

 

[GymWolf]

Ah, true. Combat could be less brain dead without "auto lock" on targets.

No lock on is not more challenging or less braindead at all, it is only one aspect of combat.

Latest example, Dogma series is way easier than a fuckload of games with lock on.

Well, it looks like Marcin Blacha aka the guy who was a head writer for Witcher 3 dlcs and Cyberpunk is still in Warsaw, so it's safe to assume he might be working on the next Witcher as Cyberpunk's team was moved to Boston

Ask and you shall receive

Spoiler

They call him the bitcher, Geraldine of rivia.

It is. Use no softlock mod and see it.

 

[sigmaZ]

Good. Outside of some story beats, that game was a snoozefest.

 

[sigmaZ]

No but i'll bet money it'll be a Witcher in a new gender.

Or NO gender

 

[GymWolf]

It is. Use no softlock mod and see it.

It doesn't work like that, a combat system, its enemies, the mechanics are all made around lock on in a game with lock on, you can't just mod out the lock on and say that it is more difficult because the game wasn't made with no lock on in mind so the balance is gonna be completely fucked.

And i vastly prefer when the challenge comes from strong, capable enemies over what type of lock on you use, if the challenge in your games comes from that, in my mind you failed at doing capable mobs\bosses and you only hope that the player is gonna miss half of his blows, good enemies make you miss blows even if you have a lock on.



A lock on is not gonna make you avoid fast combos or multiple enemies attacking at once nor does it make you better at timing attacks and parries if you are not skilled.
Sekiro has a lock on and tsushima didn't had one until later with a patch and yet sekiro is tough to beat and tsushima is piss easy, both games based on parries, but sekiro just has way more capable enemies and bosses that make the biggest difference.

It works exactly like that and it becomes more difficulty.

I am not saying this resolves IA problems and other issues.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

So I shouldn't expect Gerald in the Eve skin suit?!?!?!? weak

 

[RoboFu]

Cyber Witcher 3000

A game balanced around lock on get more difficult without lock on, umm no shit? the whole balancement goes out of the window.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Remove Mini Map, quest markers and improve Combat.

Even Witcher 2 was easy at endgame.

What you call "balance" is 100% subjective. For me nothing should be automatic in games, including melee targeting.

Remove Mini Map, quest markers

Witcher 3 already allows you do that.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Well, they're not the best at building great open worlds from the get go. Witcher 1 was meh, 2 was good and 3 was great. That punk game was quite devoid of life at first too. It was just empty.

I wouldnt get excited about it. Last i heard the peeps who worked on the witcher already left (could be wrong though). And more left after CP.

Whose left to actually deliver?

The Witcher 1 and The Witcher 2 were never designed as an open world games though. This was a trend they started with the third game and Cyberpunk. Witcher 1 and Witcher 2 were more linear with hub-like areas similar to older BioWare / Obsidian games like KotOR, Dragon Age: Origins or Neverwinter Nights 2

A lot of core developers are still at the company. Some indeed left, but it doesn't mean none of the ones who worked on past games aren't still employed at the company. Quite the contrary

Plus, some of people who left CDPR and formed their own studio are also working on The Witcher 1 Remake now and it seems this time the game will be remade as a fully open world game, so that's one is interesting as this transition will require some changes and adjustments to make it work

 

[bender]

Why would anyone think that? I mean this isn’t a Fromsoft sequel.

Agreed. FromSoft makes fun games.

 

[hemo memo]

I didn't expect my post to get that much reactions. I guess the truth hurts.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

I really hope CDPR focuses on gameplay this time. Combat barely evolved from 2 to 3. It's serviceable at best. I wanna look forward to fighting monsters on the next game, not treat it only as an obstacle on the way to the next story beat. And they need to improve not only combat but traversal as well, both on foot and on horseback.

Look at that Like/Dislike ratio.

 

[LordOfChaos]

I always thought a post Witcher 3 planet hopping Ciri could be an amazing game

 

[BeforeU]

what a random statement lmao, I have never come across anyone who was worried about that. However, it being broken is surely on lot of people's mind. So yeah

 

[hybrid_birth]

I'm just here for the sex scenes . No bear sex no buy.

 

[peish]

They should start a new franchise. Witcher world is boring, what more can they do?
