Witcher 3: Official Gameplay Trailer

I mean, yeah, in still images they look great, but, in motion, I wasn't much impressed.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying they look *bad* in any way shape or form. Just...I don't know. Didn't really impress me as much as the rest of the game did, in that trailer.

If you are playing on PC with high IQ, they will look as good as they do in the images, since you'll be able to see the fine details.

Holy shit this game is beautiful. Please tell me it looks like that on PS4.

I'm hoping the PS4 version holds up pretty well.
The PS4 version should look very close to this trailer, albeit with more jaggies and shimmering, like Dictator said. Maybe a setting or two slightly lower. But if the PS4 version really does look very close to this, I'm more than satisfied. I keep getting the feeling that CDRP shows us PC footage @ high because that's what they're targeting for the console versions.

Best trailer they've done ever since the Sword of Destiny one.

I like the well cut RDR style gameplay trailers (as opposed to raw playthroughs).

The game looks insanely good and packed with shit to do, too, also sex on a unicorn and EVEN RACISM... it has it all!


When i think that this year we also had Bloodborne and will get MGSV, it's pretty absurd.

This is one of the best trailers I have ever seen. Tells you pretty much everything you need to know about how the game is, and what it is about. Shows you a variety of locations, and all gameplay. A fucking +

I'm so fucking hyped right now that I have some weird muscle contractions. Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.
 
Impressed !

Cant wait to get it.

Maybe not so impressed with the graphics compared to the reveal trailer but it is still awesome looking.
 
So to show off the "breathtaking magic" in the game, they chose to show a women's bra disintegrating?

Obviously the best kind of magic. I love how unabashedly "masculine" the series can be without being offensive. They do it in that cheeky Game of Thrones style.


Also, plot prediction: MAJOR SPECULATION
Geralt dies at the end. Ciri takes his place as protagonist

Me? I'm not searching for anything, the game looks AMAZING.

No doubt it looks great, but I can't shake the impression that the earlier footage looked much more impressive. We'll all know soon enough, anyway.

Mannnnn so good. Gifs?

Also I just ordered a gaming PC, do I owe it to myself to skip PS4 and go PC for this? Will it have controller support?

Yeah I know, but the PC is in a box room. May want to play in living room.

Ok. Here's what you do.

1. Move the PC tower to the living room, place it under the TV and hook it up.

2. Play the Witcher 3 in its full glory using an xb1 controller on your comfy couch.

3. When anybody else you might happen to live with asks why there is a monstrosity of a PC tower sat in the middle of the living room, simply tell them "go away or I'll kill you".

Or look into home streaming.

Welp. That trailer officially sold me on the game, before it was even half way through. And I went in knowing virtually nothing about it/having never played or even read about the previous games.

Better finish all other games before I get it because it looks like it will consume all my gaming time.

Oh crap! I have a mini PC downstairs behind the TV that can handle home streaming! This is glorious and you just reminded me.

Trailer overselling the Witcher's uses in monster slaying kind of undermines the whole thematic thing they've been doing over the past 2 games (ie Witchers are a dying breed because the world is becoming more normal and monsters & magic are declining). But I guess they want to sell the gameplay from a monster hunting angle when Geralt is actually doing more human slaying than the former now.

I think Monsters appearing and overrunning the country side has to be tied in with the Wild Hunt and a large scale war which will probably be one of the major set pieces of the Witcher 3.

Anyhow super hyped, my rig should be ready for the release

i'm playing through the witcher 2 on pc and so damn excited for 3 but can't decide if i should buy it on PS4 or PC. Ideally PC of course but not sure if mine is up for it.

do we know what kind of graphics/performance the recommended specs will give? because i pretty much meet them except for my CPU. they ask for an i7-3770 but i only have an i5-4590. i'd be happy with 1080p 30fps, same quality graphics as PS4, with decent amount of AA.

Your CPU is fine. It's a latest model i5. You're good. What's your GPU?

The books did just that.

Is it just me or is it just a difference in time of day? The foliage does look better but that could be because of the more vibrant lighting due to it being morning/noon.
 
That maybe it is one of the few games that don't suffer from visible graphical downgrade?

hmm I dont agree, the first trailer was way more impressive than what we are getting now, sure it could be the ULTRA setting PC version they showed at the reveal and the game might look like that when they launch the game, who knows. but compared this trailer to the reveal trailer and its a difference.
 
Definitely need to get a PC eventually for home streaming, I'm going to enjoy this game on my PS4 though. Hoping for amazing graphics and gameplay.

I really hope I can get this game on day one but I don't think it may happen, budget wise, but either way this trailer got me even more interested in the game.

It seems to be such a relaxing game to travel and do some side quests while discovering the worlds, the colours are great and the soundtrack seems lovely and intense as well. It also seems to be a time sink but in a good way. I like game where you can explore and do other activities. The card game seemed very interesting as well, I think I tried the board game with the dices in the last game.

Do I need to play the witcher 2 before I buy this. I started it but I didn't get far in it.
This looks awesome. Gives me that feeling of skyrim.
