So much so they had to release Witcher 2: 2.0

Not quite true, that's just how CD Project roll, their support is second to none. But W2's launch was "iffy", though. New drivers and patches had it running much better quite quickly.

Yeah same as W1, they didn't just fix bugs they also added lots of new content at the same time.

Martini1991 · 12 May 2015 at 12:07

Like they went and added a whole (Albeit small) tutorial section to Witcher 2 lol.

Don't forget the intro was added as well

I forgot they added this as well to W2

Looks like a new movie could be in the works as well btw:

Mads Mikkelsen is his name.

Fan made or produced by a big studio? Could be awesome if the latter.

GTA V only cost $265 million to make, easy peasy.

Not just to make; this included advertising/marketing etc. which probably took a hefty chunk of that budget, seeing as I've seen so many GTA trailers/adverts/etc. since 2013 to present.

Well that guy is a big well known actor, so "if" it is all legit it would be by a big studio. All hearsay atm though I think.

Do we know which gameworks settings this game has yet?

Not to mention the cast (Jonah Hill for example) and the music. I bet the music they use for the radio stations costs a fortune to license.

When I look at such gifs I can't escape the impression that they never really meant the game to look anywhere close to that, the visual gap is just staggering. Anyone with their heads screwed on the right way round could've easily deduced an open world game of such quality is nothing more but wishful thinking but a lot of people got hyped anyways.

CDProjekt should've never shown those trailers in the first place, or make them seem like actual gameplay. Would've saved them quite a bit of hassle explaining what's happened. The game would've still ended up looking decent (for a Looney Tunes rendition of Slavic folklore, that is;p) without disappointing a lot of people.

I hope it'll at least turn out to be a very good game, downgraded or not.

Does this game integrate into the Witcher 1 and 2 in terms of save games?

Tbh i'd be more concerned how it runs.

If i remember correctly didn't W2 run like a dog and very buggy on release?

Nope, I played Witcher 2 on release, may 17th 2011, and it ran very well on my 2500K + GTX560Ti on maximum settings (with supersampling disabled).
Finished it 6 days later without encountering any significant bugs.

They did work on it a lot and improved it in patch 2.0 and Enhanced Edition, but the game was perfectly fine on release.

Jonah Hill is not in GTA V?

Do you mean Jimmy? He's played by Danny Tamberelli.

Yes, the reason I am playing again so I can import my Witcher 2 save which already has my Witcher 1 save imported.

Yeah it does, apparently there is an option to pick important decisions from the previous games too

Also there is a heavy dose of blur/DOF, both of which are the first options I disable in all games that allow me too.

I don't know anyone who actually likes these 'effects' that eat up GPU resources.

Why devs include these effects in games I really don't know.....not so bad if we can turn them off I don't suppose.

Helps reduce the impression of stuttering. It's sweeping it under the carpet a bit.

Jesse Cox preview, probably the best one yet:

If anyone finds this poor looking, then I pity you.
Not to mention White Orchard (starting area) is supposedly the least impressive looking.

Are the trees on LSD? :eek:

officially hyped.
