Looking forward to this, might need a new PC to run it though

Looks good, albeit a trailer. I wish Geralt would still be the main protagonist. Won't be the same.

It makes sense for it to be Ciri, reading the books, following the games, it was all revolving around her anyway really. Geralt deserves to relax in Corvo Bianco. I'm sure we'll be seeing him, Yenn, Regis and co at some point again. An old Dandelion could be a laugh. Ciri does seem older in this and to have been mutated, so I wonder how many years the universe has moved on.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the story anyway. They must have nerfed her Elder Blood!

I hope they work on the combat. Needs to get closer to Elden ring. Going back to Witcher 3 it feels very basic.

I'm not claiming that this trailer is the final game for Witcher 4, just that CDPR have shown in game footage at trade shows in the past for Witcher 3, strongly suggesting that they will be in the final product, only to then remove most of the next gen stuff in the name of 'optimization' when really they didn't want the PC release to cannibalise console sales.

Tbh I know a lot of fuss was made about this at the time but I really wasn't bothered, I just got on with enjoying an amazing game that still looked fantastic even if it was downgraded.

I hope all the people (white middle aged men/boys) who complain that they made something a " beautiful female" instead of a muscular bloke and added some "lesbian" into it.. apply the same stringent criteria to the pr0n they watch!!!

Can confirm I don't watch tranny porn.

Once they start modding Skyrim that'll be another ten years gone

God, I hope not - or if they do make sure there's an idiot mode so that I can actually defeat a single enemy in the entire game.

As much as I enjoy Elden ring, I really don't want that kind of combat in a Witcher game. Besides hardy groundbreaking is it rolling out the way of stuff.

ne0 · 13 Dec 2024 at 23:42

yes, there is jizz in my pants.

I agree about the rolling. Which is just as bad in Witcher 3. Elden Ring has some nice feedback in the game play when you parry successfully. That’s the kind of thing I want to to see.

Meh, we've had 3 Witcher games, I'd have liked more CP now that they've got the hang of that.

Those weren't in game graphics.

It was pre rendered.

I think it was in-game, but the lighting quality was way beyond what a normal PC could run.

W3's combat looks like it has contact to it though. Elden ring is just rigid, canned animations which all clip through each other.

Hodders · 14 Dec 2024 at 14:49

Personally I thought W3 combat was fine. Rewarding, varied in tactics if you wanted, scalable through difficulty.

Really looking forward to W4, must have played W3 through about 3 times now.

Geralt can carry on drinking red wine with Yenn, riding the unicorn at least twice a day.

Over to Ciri now!

Albeit, some time away but looking forward to it.
Witcher 3 was probably the last game I sank real time into, some 370 hours in total.

Sekiro style then?

It was only slightly a challenge and not exactly exciting if going full alchemy instead of sword/magic. Both of which are completely OP but definitely fun when you are blasting through 1st play through.

Some kind of hybrid of that was exactly what I was thinking. I should have said "from software" instead of Elden Ring tbh.
