Yes, you do, ASAP!
Man, I really need to do a third playthrough soon. Did a Roche playthrough and then a Iorveth playthrough back at PC launch, and haven't touched the game since.

Amazing new. Bring on Witcher 3 in 2014!

Same here, haven't played since launch. I just might.
Didn't they confirm W3 was further ahead in development? I'm sure it'll probably come out sometime next year.
Haha, I did this too. I picked up the 360 version for a mere 99p a few weeks ago, so that seems as good a reason as any to replay it.
I really hope not. We all saw what saving importing did to Mass Effect. It wastes resources on absolutely nothing.
CDPR should tell their story.
My Geralt better still have his tattoo in Witcher 3 though.
Really? W2 spoilers incoming
Sparing or having Roche kill Henselt, who rules Temeria, if you knew about Saskia's secret and ect, should have major implications. Not ot mention Nilfgaard actually invading these choices should come into play if the Northern Kingdoms are united or fractured
end spoilers

Am I the only one who prefers more "linear" open world stuff like deus ex and witcher 2 over full on open world?
I always think the latter just affects the story and pacing too much

Not realistic, but a fact. The devs have stated a couple of times now that their non-Cyberpunk project is much further along. They're likely talking about Cyberpunk at the moment primarily to drum up hype and recruit new staff for the project.

They really need to revamp their facial animation system.
Revamp's a stretch. The faces are fine, they're not perfect but it's not nearly as bad as most RPGs.
But yeah more GFX is always good since CDPR knows how to make shit look great from both design and tech.
Very nice!
W2 was a May release, so perhaps Witcher 3 will hit May 2014.
And improve the combat mechanics even further.
A hell of a lot further.
There's even a recruitment ad in the trailer.
Yes, so much this. A ton of fine tuning into responsiveness and overall flow is desperately needed.

Having just played Witcher 2 - bring it the fuck on, but change up the combat. Less Souls meets Batman and more one way or the other.
Its not impossible (though maybe a bit optimistic) for The witcher 3 to be released late 2013 or early 2014, if they started work on it shortly after finishing the second game. By the time november comes, the witcher 2 will have been out for two and a half years. Also worth pointing out is that they had to build that engine from scratch for the second game, now they can simply improve upon their already solid foundation.

Yeah, I'm guessing The Witcher 3 is a lot further along than people might expect. A good chunk of the staff were busy with the Enhanced Edition content, but they've also been working on The Witcher 3 in some respect since before The Witcher 2 shipped.
Going by what they've said in interviews, they're keeping the core design of The Witcher 2 for the third game, with changes/additions where they feel the formula could be improved. Open world or not, I expect The Witcher 3 to play pretty similarly to The Witcher 2.
Judging by what is in the OP, it must be open world.
Witcher 2 was sort of open world though, I guess they were more like Hubs, so I would expect it to be that but on a larger scale.

Looks like a photography to me. Maybe Witcher merch incoming?

I'm hoping it will really be open-world, and not open-football field, like W2 was.

Can't wait. The Witcher 2: EE will be the first game I play on my new PC in March, fucking loved the 360 version. Hyped for whatever they do with TW3.

I'm just hoping that in terms of world design they will take inspiration from good open world games (Gothic, Risen, Ultima) and not from the bad ones (TES saga, Kingdom of Amalur, Assassin's Creed, etc).
It looks like a screenshot from a trailer.
I think if they looked to TES for anything, I'd hope for it to be how Bethesda physically constructs their game worlds. Not strictly for things they do right, mind you, but I think there is a lot to learn there. Otherwise, yeah, I hope they do look to draw from more in-depth, hardcore open-world titles. Witcher 2 felt like a relatively large step towards game design that I'm not particularly interested in anymore.

PS4/720 with Witcher 3 on release would be god like.
That is all. Make it happen.

Seriously, I do not have any concerns there. the witcher games have been pretty much the opposite of the TES series when it comes to rpgs. and I am very sure they will follow that path in the third installment and rely on their strenghts, even in a more open world. I doubt very much they will serve us something like skyrim.
I am very hyped for this, I absolutely adored both games, even played the second one twice in a row (which makes sense). Do they use the game engine? its still one of the best looking games around, I'd love part 3 in 2013/early 2014, and with the same engine I think thats absolutely possible.
