The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[Devrij]

49" 4k tv downstairs. Won't be using it. My htpc has an i3 and a 970 running in it, so I doubt it will be able to do 4k. Even after the gimped graphics! Moving my full tower downstairs would make me fairly unpopular with the other half though!

 

[Witcher1979]

Great idea

I also intend on not using fast travel at all but we will see! And i want to get more in to combat prep, in w2 i hardly bothered with alchemy etc. So may pop it on hard and see how it goes!

Ah, play witcher 2 on dark and you will have to use alchemy. TBH Dark mode is the way it is meant to be played imo. The dark Armour is cool as well.

I want to play this, but I havnt played any of the other ones. Am I going to be completely lost or will it be ok?

They said there will be some kind of story recap so i think you'll be fine

That my friend is a good idea.

I'll get a control in for next week, already have the PC hooked upto my projector, 140" Witcher 3 on 1080p projector will be a nice test!.

WHAT!!!! Surely that looks horrendous unless your sitting about 100 feet away lol. 1080p looks horrible on anything bigger than 22", and you'll be pumping that out on a 140" projector??? that PPI/pixel density lol

Cant wait.

Pre-loaded and ready to go.

Theres a Twitch Witcher 3 stream tonight at i think midnight UK time to tide me over while i decide if i should upgrade from GTX670 to a 970 or not.

I'm also running a 670 and was planning on getting a 970 for this game. My 670 did OK in GTA V though and I believe it's because it has 4GB instead of 2GB vram.

It'll be interesting to see performance when it comes out, and if it's worth spending £250 or so just for a slightly prettier game.

I wonder how long we'll have to wait for crossfire support.

 

[Matson]

Nice trailer...makes me wish the actual game looked that great though lol. Imagine the order 1886 engine used for this game and your pretty much close. One can dream.

 

[BruceyBaby]

The music in that trailer Fantastic.

GoG with a Russian VPN. It's less than £15, how much less depends on whether or not you have the Witcher 1 and/or 2 discount. I paid £13.81 as I also own Witcher 2.
