The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [2014]

Those screenshots are rather impressive. Not particularly thrilled about playing Ciri, but as an introduction one supposes her inclusion is fairly mandatory, there's nothing like a playable role to build empathy and interest if presented properly. I do hope her voice actress (and Yens) is up to stuff.

Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.

 

Tea for the teapot!

She looks a bit like Geralt.

Cool, young Ciri at Kaer Morhen.  It would be pretty sweet if we got to play through some of her witcher training, maybe even her sorceress training.

 

Should be the tutorial section of the game, give us background to who Ciri is, who Geralt and The Witchers are, and the game mechanics. Would be a perfect tutorial.

I fully approve of this idea.

I just saw the news about the pushing back of the release date.  That really, really sucks.  I was spacing my games out so it would work perfectly that nothing would be on the horizon for the Witcher's original February release.

 

Hopefully the wait is worth it.

 

On the flip side, those images look outstanding.

I'm glad it's been pushed, won't clash with Pillars now :p

I think I'll pass on this after all. I was on the fence but I already don't like being locked into playing a specific set character and I like playing multiple set characters even less :/ 

After quite some dithering, I've come to this conclusion as well, and for the very same reason. Also, I have so many games to play as things are right now, anyways. :)

Similar requirements to Assassins Creed Unity.

Not a good sign.

That reads pretty high for what consoles can handle. Unless console versions will look drastically worse.

Keep in mind that console versions are usually much better optimized, since they're optimizing for a single hardware spec (per console) as opposed to hundreds of different hardware configurations for PC, allowing the devs to get a lot more specific with console optimizations.

Is it?

 

A PS4 uses what is basically a modified 7870 and has 8gb of ram total. Which is exactly what the minimum requirements are. The only thing that's more powerful than the consoles is the processor.

I'm truly shocked that there people who have decided to not play W3, guys this is one of the MOST anticipated fantasy RPG we have ever seen. Its going to be bigger than Skyrim...imagine how exciting it's going to be exploring that land   :dancing:  :dancing:

 

I beg you to reconsider any decision to not play this game

Pretty sure it will run on my rig too, with a new graphic card (which I want to buy anyway as soon as the game comes out). It might not be Ultra-Settings, but that doesn't bother me much. The game most likely still looks good.

...Well, no Witcher 3 for me, I guess.

 

Seriously, with the kickstarter-induced old-school RPG renaissance craze going on, I don't feel compelled at all to buy a new PC in order to be able to play the newest AAA games.
