    Tis more than a bit shit, I've been looking forward to this since it was first announced. Thought it might have been released around August/September this year.

    Seems like one next gen disappointment after another :(

    If there is one developer I trust - its CD Project Red. If they need time, IT MEANS THEY NEED FECKING TIME! They should take as long as they need, I dont mind to wait for Greatness. I dont want bioshock Infinite 2.0 Where to cool parts from trailers did not even made it in to game or were way under used.

    In an open letter, the Polish studio said the delay would help the game reach the quality "gamers expect from us".

    I expected a broken buggy release followed by an enhanced edition a few months later :) How history can be rewritten in gamers' minds. I love their games but lets face it their reputation is not as smooth as the current group think seems to suggest. Glad they are taking the time though.

    I understand that but it still is disappointing. It was one of the few games I was looking forward to this year.

    The Kayran? It's easy, just cut its tentacles off, the rest of the fight is a QTE.

    Use the trap spell to trap its tentacles and then hack them off. Then run up the bridge on to its head. It is tough though. Took me so many attempts.

    I don't recall either games being that broken or buggy on release, maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention.

    I'm actually a little relieved to see the delay now.

    I trusted CD Project Red before, but now I'm sure that the game they release will be worth the hype.

    Too many studios sacrifice quality to deliver at a certain time, it's good to see someone doing the opposite.

    Disappointed it's being delayed, but i trust CD Projekt to get it right. Plus, it gives me a chance to replay the 2nd game.

    they had an accident during a mo-cap session

    It is a shame about the delay, but if they are giving us areas twice the size of Skyrim it is worth the wait.
    CD Projekt Red and Umbra Software held a presentation titled “Solving Visibility and Streaming in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with Umbra 3“ at the Game Developers Conference, and it included a very interesting detail (that I happened to overlook when I first examined the original slides) as discovered by Reddit user fughp.

    The slides mention the size of two of the areas included in the game: the city of Novigrad measures 8.5 x 8.5 km for a total size of 72,25 square km, while Skellige is 8 x 8 km, meaning 64 square km. Summed up, the two areas cover 136,25 square km, which convert to just north of 52 square miles.

    By comparison, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim‘s world has been calculated to measure 14.8 square miles. This means that the two areas named above are already over 3.5 times larger than the whole Skyrim map.

    This is actually fairly interesting since back in June CD Projekt RED described The Witcher 3 as 20% larger than Bethesda’s open world game. We currently don’t know if that was just a preliminary estimate, or the Witcher‘s world just got bigger since then.

    We reached out to CD Projekt RED requesting information to shed light on the issue, and we’ll keep you updated if we receive any relevant answer. In the meanwhile one thing is for sure: the world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is pretty damn big.

    Worth playing before this comes out, you can carry the saves over like in mass effect/dragon age. Usually dirt cheap in the steam sales too.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 22,994 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    That looks absolutely fantastic. They really do know how to make a trailer.
