I really hope they spend some time explaining some back story and don't just expect me to know all the shit from Witcher 1 and 2.....

I wish there was a decent setting for that kind of thing, honestly. As somebody who has played the first two, I really don't need constant, "hey, remember when we did X? good times, right?" and "don't forget Geralt, so-and-so betrayed you when they did Y" and such.

I really hope this runs good on PS4 and XB1.

Fingers crossed us console gamers don't get the short end of the stick.

You mean like, please no Skyrim on PS3 all over again?

Your processor is the recommended one, and your graphics card is slightly above the minimum one. It's tough to call, as the PS4 should be able to trump the graphics card, but not the processor. There's also plenty of instances so far this gen when 660's have, against all logic, outperformed the same game on PS4.

Edit: looking into it, the recommended 770 really isn't that much more powerful than the 660ti. 20% or so difference.

The 660ti is faster than a 7870 (giving the PS4 some leeway as it's between a 7850-70).

There was a guy on here that played an XB1 demo a couple months ago and he said the game ran very smoothly for him.

Don't worry, while CDPR is a PC-centric dev, they are no douchebags.
Witcher 2 run pretty well on 360.

8 gig 680 and that's how I feel.

So. Time to play the Witcher 2.

 

[foxtrot3d]

Well, if you've read the books:

Triss is actually the other woman. Yennefer was always Geralt's one true love. This didn't stop the two of them from sleeping with other people, even though by all accounts they were both hurt by it.

I'm actually looking forward to the cat fight between Yen and Triss when they meet, considering that Geralt hooked up with Triss frequently while he was suffering from amnesia.

Yennefer already was a little spiteful towards Triss for sleeping with Geralt (as they had been good friends years before Yennefer and Geralt met). It'll be interesting to see how the amnesia part plays into it as well as the fact that their relationship could get pretty serious depending on the players' actions in TW1 and TW2.

Basically this:

I have no doubt that Yennefer will eat Triss for breakfast, that two-timing hussy taking advantage of an amnesiac man.

 

[air jordans for dogs]

Got a 980 coming in soon, hope this 2500k @ 4.5ghz will do good. Only doing 1080p so i will probably be fine at v high settings!

 

[viveks86]

Subtle beard physics or am I seeing things?

 

[DeathGlobe]

I have a I5 3570k @ stock clock how much difference will that be between the recommended processor

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Oh god, what a gif!

Already pre-ordered for xbox, can't wait!

 

[STARHOUND]

Yeah I'm really looking forward to this confrontation.

Being an avid reader of the books I will be going Yennefer all the way.

 

[ScepticMatt]

Nah I see it too

 

[jesu]

I'd watch that.

 

[Valient]

I have an 2500k yet to overclock and a 970 so I hope it will be ok with just a bit of overclocking. I worry that soon i may have to replace this old processor and motherboard. it don't have to be ultra just better than consoles.

 

[MrChowderClams]

Man, my pre-orders are starting to cash in. GTA V next week, and Witcher 3 in a month. Can't wait!

edit: autocorrect :/

Either there are portions in this video that are from their June 2014 build or they have made zero changes in a year. I think it's the former

omg they removed the black bars yess take that evil within

 

[etta]

Holy shit this will be a monumental game. Not a fan of RPG's, but I try to play the ones that are worth playing. Unfortunately, I got bored with Dragon Age Inquisition, hopefully this will be the one.

 

[PFD]

I have watched this trailer 6 times already today :/
It looks pretty good for an overblown vision of a game that does not exist :/

It is all a lie

 

[skonvolt]

As long as CD PROJEKT RED is the game maker they can do what they want, racism, prostitution, zombie killing or dancing on an orphan child grave........

The game doesn't need to be "politically correct" just to fill your sad heart.

The game is intended "as it is" so the answer is easy, you like the game you buy the game, you hate the game, than there is always SKYRIM, "with animated prostitution mod"

ahahahah

 

[jim2point0]

Really hope I can max this game at max settings with max sliders and still get 60 FPS @ 2560x1440 or I will call it not optimized.

 

[SaberEdge]

Lol at downgrade comments from a few months ago

Tell me about it. This new footage looks just as amazing as before. This seems like it is going to be such an incredible world to explore.

Pfftt… 1440p is for plebs. Raise your standards breh. Forkay or bust

 

[weevles]

Based on the video, I get the impression that this game is standalone from Witcher 1 and 2. Even though you play as Gerault, it doesn't seem like there's any real storyline. Seems like the game is Monster Hunter in the world of Witcher.

Which does make me wonder whether they could have made the playable character customizable from an avatar perspective. Oh well, looks good and I have it preordered...

What? The (main) storyline is about finding Ciri, they even talk about it in the video.

I mean being the first simultaneous release on console and all I doubt the overarching plot from the previous games is too heavy handed but.. no

Or maybe (most likely) they deliberately didn't wanna spoil the main story in the trailers?

I couldn't get into Witcher 2 at all, but god damn it is hard not to get hyped after watching this trailer.

This game is pulling more from the books than either game in the series. Ciri, Yennifer, and the Wild Hunt are the center points of the plot, while the first 2 games set up the political landscape that this is set in.

Most 2500k's reach 4.5Ghz on good air cooling, without any problems. It's really easy to clock. Many 970's can reach very close to 980 performance, depending on your manufacturer and cooling solution.

Read up on some guides, and you'll be golden in time for The Wild Hunt.

[loganclaws]

Guys this is not a troll question, I just bought two 980 GTX cards and I have an e2500k over clocked to 4.6Ghz. Do you think this pc will be able to run the game at max settings with uber sampling on at >= 60fps? Or will the CPU be a bottleneck?

 

[Card Boy]

I doubt the cpu would fault you, the 2500k is still a damn good chip. Overclocked it's damn near as good as a 4690k and that's a much newer chip.

Right, but even then, it doesn't seem like you need to really worry about not having played the first two games. There's just a lot of things to do that aren't necessarily dependent on the story and to me, it's a good selling point.

This game is pulling more from the books than either game in the series. Ciri, Yennifer, and the Wild Hunt are the center points of the plot, while the first 2 games set up the political landscape that this is set in.

Ah, got it. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Seems like this game would be the most accessible if you aren't familiar with the books (like me obviously).
