His eyes are closed? Image is shitty, cant see details...

Probably because the cat eyes look ridiculous and CDPR doesn't want to scare away customers.

 

[ViZ7]

The "pre-order bonuses" thing really seems to be a clickbait from this website to me (which is cool, no need for these bonuses tbh).

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Hope the download comes with these pre-order bonuses in a digital format. Witcher compendium could be pretty sick. I suppose we'll find out during the livestream.

 

[matrix-cat]

Box art looks spectacular for PC, but the cropping and coloured banners spoil the console versions. I'll probably be buying this digitally, anyway, unless the Super Ultra Collector's Edition they unveil tonight is too mindblowing for me to pass up on it.

 

[M.Steiner]

Looking forward to seeing what the CE contents are like as that's the edition I'll no doubt be buying for this. If it's anything like TW2 CE I'd expect it to be great value for money.

Based on 2 games track records it would be safe to say what is being shown is the standard edition. They give goodies even with the standard

I'm thinking the same but I guess we'll find out tonight =)

 

[Pooya]

Is this new?

 

[SenatorBot]

I don't think those are preorder bonuses.

CDProjeckt actually gives out free things for standard editions but it's a pretty simple mistake to make nowadays when nobody but them has you preordering to get stuff.

 

[Adry9]

They are pre-order bonuses, look on the last page http://content.yudu.com/A2kkim/MCV060614/resources/index.htm?referrerUrl=

 

[Sentenza]

uuhh, that box art leaves me terribly anxious that TW3 is gonne become the Mass Effect 3 of this franchise. I hope this game isn't alienating to people who played either of the first two titles...

Yeah, all the signs are pointing to a rushed, awful looking game:

Spoiler

Are you fucking serious?

 

[sjay1994]

Physical goods.... As pre order bonuses?

Thank you based CD projekt.

 

[UrbanRats]

A very bland box-art, for such a game.

These are not pre-order bonuses. These are contents of the standard edition.

A title change is in order!

so a game manual is now a pre-order bonus? wow... smh

no

no, they showed it mid May when they changed their logo.

So... pretty much a clickbait title.

 

[Nestunt]

fuck february

 

[E92 M3]

Aww I liked the simple one that's on Amazon =/ Can't wait for the game, though.

 

[GrayDock]

The X1 box in front of the PS4 one is not usual.
I don't remember seeing the boxes in this order ever.

MS partnership in motion I guess.

And I think that a Kingdom of Amalur boxart-like would be better.

Now give me my dice poker set.

That's one shitty box art, very bland.

Awesome! But this ad is very misleading, don't give the guys at Videogamer too much hate.

Even though I don't really like The Kingdom of Amalur boxart, I really want to give you props for actually showing something you would have liked better than just saying the boxart looks "bland", making you look like nothing looks good to you.

Yes, I would like it in that style....also can't wait for the actual collectors reveal. I regretted not getting the second one.

Huh?



Are the books any good? I'm thinking about reading the books.

 

[Dragon1893]

Kinda like TW2 then, that also came with some nice goodies and then CDPR even threw in a ton more on gog including the full artbook and Triss's playboy session. Can't wait to hold this in my eager hands.

 

[Blackthorn]

On one hand, the physical goodies make me want the disc version.

On the other, god damn that box art is bad. Why the grimace? Why the white background?

Save us, cover art Gaf.

 

[Freeman]

What a poor choice of box art, they should reconsider.

 

[Radec]

Its in order of power differences.

Best (Left ) to Worse (Right)

lol

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Terrible cover...

Who did this? It only could be worse if they had done the tittle with the Paint spray-can tool

 

[Savitar]

Not great box art but love that this is the standard stuff.

When most companies are reducing the box to nothing but a disc and some times not even that these guys are doing the opposite.

Hell I even grinned at seeing the manual.

 

[InfYn]

Well I'm certainly cancelling my pre-order if the box is like that.

lol

Yes, manuals are something that excite me these days. Sad we reached that point...

 

[Korosys]

Throw in a wolf medallion and I would maybe actually buy a physical copy instead.

 

[zonezeus]

They got the "pre-order" part wrong, maybe they got the cover wrong as well. I don't really care either way, I'm buying this for the game not the boxart.

 

[Totobeni]

Witcher 1 and Witcher 1 EE covers are still the best

They don't need to have the big mighty male hero on the cover to sell like Witcher 2 and now Witcher 3, The Elder Scrolls series fon an example uses simple and minimalist cover design.

 

[sublimit]

"These are not pre-order bonuses.These are content of the standard edition."

CD Project Red - The antiUbisoft.

 

[-PXG-]

For a game so ambitious they certainly decided to go with pretty modest box art.

 

[Rrang129]

What are the chances of them porting Witcher 1 and 2 to PS4 / Xbone? Would be neat to have them all on one system...

 

[modeyv2]

What a shit box art. Please be loud enough for them to hear peoples request to change.

Maybe something more visually appealing and dark like this, if they 'must' include the hero.

 

[phaze]

Meh boxart but good inside content.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Well I'm certainly cancelling my pre-order if the box is like that.

Buy the digital then.

 

[boskee]

I am confident that "Pre-order assets now available" refers to some kind of pre-order bonus material that will be available on gog.com after the conference. That's what they did before The Witcher 2 was released - there was a "goodie zip" with wallpapers and music tracks IIRC.

 

[Zoned]

CDPR definitely fucked up the box art. Generic and bland...gerallt closeup and white background ewww.

 

[Canis lupus]

Wow every standard edition gets those goodies?

 

[Exuro]

Well they remade the tw2 boxart before release so I wouldn't be surprised if this gets changed since the release date is a ways out.

 

[Danielsan]

Box-art looks like shit. But hey, they have another year to change it.

 

[boskee]

Wow every standard edition gets those goodies?

Yup. That's pretty much how Standard edition of the previous games looked like.

 

[L1NETT]

Wow every standard edition gets those goodies?

That's how it worked before, and part of the reason CDPR has so many fans

Edit: Boskee'd!

 

[-NeoTB1-]

Wow, that's very uninspired box-art. Someone dropped the ball on that one.
