I dont know why but im sensing a console port this time round
Possibly, but on the plus side, it is being made for the next generation of consoles and so looks like it will be released at or very soon after their release. Normally a brand new console can hold its own against a pc in terms of power e.t.c for its first year so hopefully it wont be hindered too much.
Didnt know it was confirmed for the next gen consoles, if so thats fantastic news
Open world immediately means freedom to me. Although they are not all bad, linear experiences can be a bit tiresome. They don't seem to grab me or immerse me the same way an open world game would.
Saying that, open game worlds tend to encourage modding. I really get swept up in that and stop actually playing the game. Instead I continuously download mods and update files...
I prefer to me immersed in a storyline rather than a directionless open world, which is why I have always preferred linear RPGs over the like of Bethesda open world stuff.
What I would like is a strong core storyline (which CDPR have shown they are capable of), with the ability to go off and muck about if you want.
Story means everything to me, I become incredibly bored if I'm just doing mindless quests. I don't think an open world automatically means that the story will be poor.
30 times larger than previous Witcher 2
Oh. I was expecting it to be more of a looker than that considering it is going to be on the next gen consoles : /
release date is 2014, I would expect april - may 2014, exactly 3 years after Witcher 2.
Also, this is now my most anticipated game. With Cyberpunk 2077 right behind it.
