The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt ! [XO, PS4, NX, PS5, XBSX|S, PC]

Excellent stuff. I'm probably going to ignore the relationship stuff, I remember trying it once in GTA IV and the bitch turned out to be a fed so now I avoid fictional digital women.

Hopefully this aspect will be largely optional. I really just want to roam around, minding my own business and hacking off the limbs of anybody or anything that looks at me funny. In self defence, obviously.

You are hilarious.

When someone is a fed, what do you mean? A well-fed person or a federal employee?

Here is more videos of Kinga... ahhm, I meant of Witcher 3 on PS4

The radial menu to access signs/spells breaks the flow of the combat IMO, poor game design, they should have opted for quick combination of buttons to access signs/spells.

Well they've used the DS4 trackpad but maybe not for signs. The video below from PlayStation Poland (English subs) is a bit of a behind the scenes. The PlayStation girl in leather trousers is back and she asks if they've used the PS4 specific controller features and this breaks down to:

• Vibration during combat
• Lightbar colours to indicate currently equipped sword and rune types
• Touchpad for common menu functions, although I guess that may include signs/potions.

One of the CDPR guys also clarifies that romantic encounters will affect the story. It seems even monster hunts can't have a drama-free booty call

Hey Microsoft, you are still marketing this game right? How about some videos or features?

 

[DieH@rd]

I think that we did not get any video of Xbone version so far. Every time MS marketed it, they showed PC version.

I just want more spoiler-free footage and Xbox One will be more representative of what I will get playing on PS4. Come on, Microsoft!

Game has leaked in few markets, I just saw twitch stream of Xbone [admiral_prowarrior] and stream of PS4 version [Maskedgamercall]. Both run great, but stream quality is quite poor sometimes.

Both look amazing.

There are only 19 secrets achievements/trophies so I we won't have to see all the endings.
Most likely the majority of secret achievements/trophies are story related (unmissable) and maybe 2-3 for the endings.
List here anyway: http://www.xboxachievements.com/game/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt/achievements/

There's always the possibility one of the secret achievements is to achieve all 36 possible endings.

Current progress = 1 of 36.

Nextgen graphics comparison, 10/10 for Kinga and 9.5/10 for the PS4 version. It's a win win for anyone.

when the girl keep replying the same thing to Gerald. It was jarring and i dnot think mods can fix that (like adding a closure sentence "why r u still here?" "that was fast, you have come back" or "grunts" after too many repetition etc)

Yeah it's possibile.
Is it probable? Nope.

The only demanding trophy could be the permadeath difficulty (Death March) trophy which IMO will not be difficult sice you can always quit when you see you are about to die and use your backup save file.

Other than the completely unrealistic wind in the trees, the game has come outblpokong better than what I expected on the ps4. And with no drop in resolution too. Kudos !

 

[DieH@rd]

The biggest problem with foliage is that there is no movement of leaves. Instead of that the entire big branches [and for smaller stuff entire brushes] are vibrating and moving like mad. Trees look good, but ground foliage often looks bad.

There was some video here that just showed a few seconds of tri-monitor offscreen ps4/x1/pc, I think it's a gamespot vid and probably linked somewhere in this thread, I think they said X1 version looks great. Dunno if you knew about that. But yeah no proper footage I guess. Anyways at 900P I dont expect any problems or scandals.

Edit here it is yeah it was posted here a few pages back. Timestamped link to the youtube, and yeah I know it's not much to go on. Well, it's at about 5:35 of below vid.

Do we have impressions about the ps4 version? What about AF?

None of the streams or videos have been good enough to even guess at AF implementation, or even detect if it's enabled at all. Hopefully CDPR got Sony's technical note.

That may change next Tuesday as reviews, and hopefully decent quality spoiler-free video reviews, start to emerge.

 

[DieH@rd]

I presume all videos on tuesday will also be youtube quality.

Yesterdays Xbone and PS4 twitch streams were all good framerate wize, but there were too much macroblocking to engage into any closer inspection.

Yeah, there's a few streams now. It's mostly people playing from the beginning, which I've switched off right away, or people running around the tutorial area confused about how to summon your horse, Roach. And all seem to be playing on overclocked Commodore 64s.

I presume all videos on tuesday will also be youtube quality.

You seems to have very different memory of Commodore games than I.

I did say overclocked And it's probably the disc version. Disc versions of games were always better until your 1541 drive head began to imitate a woodpecker
