Looks a bit dated to be honest, but I'll wait until their conference before passing judgement.

For all the bitching about the gold filter, DE:HR has really knocked it out of the park with their take on cyberpunk visuals. Now I can't help but look at that mohawk and go "Oh, that's cute."

DX:HR wasn't cyberpunk, it was cyberrenaissance.

The punk in cyberpunk doesn't really refer to the hair.

Weren't they actually working on one more non-Witcher game?

I don't think so. The sci-fi RPG they were working on is obviously Cyberpunk. And I don't think they'd say "You can probably guess the game we're talking about" if they were referring to some unnanounced game.

Right, I think they were producing a third game by a different studio. Yeah, it's probably Witcher 3.

Use monster hunting for "incoming". Why do I feel like all translation duties are given to the same 2-3 guys who sorta speak English?

Edit "Dude is DONE fighting for everyone else". IMO, the Witcher books were at their absolute worst when Geralt was entirely out on his own. Conversely, they were at their best when he had work out a compromise between his code/desires and pressure from the powers that be.

Games aren't books, though.

I know Gothic 3 isn't very popular, but at least it was possible to traverse its entire map, including dungeons and interiors, without any loading screens. Why hasn't anyone replicated that since! :argh:

I'm okay with the larger dungeons being their own zones, but houses need to have no loading screens, dangit!

Game Informer has an interview with the director and lead quest designer. It's nice to see them being so upfront about the percieved failings of the previous game. They mention Gothic as a guideline for how they want to handle the open world aspects of the game.

Don't know if the two are brothers (they have the same surname).

The Poglisz, it burns. Just hire a PR person who can speak English, jeez.

Yeah, Gothic as inspiration is great.

The Witcher 3's in-game footage looked better than Dragon Age 3's CG reveal trailer. CDProjekt deserves better sales.

In Bioware's defense, I think the Morrigan bit at the end was in-game.

Geralt actually makes the correct hand sign when he casts Aard, not just a generic Force Push gesture. It's the little things :allears:

Here's the trailer, for those that don't want to go looking:

I love that they kept the "LEAST LIKELY TO BE ABSOLUTE ARSE" E3 award from Videogamer up there in the beginning of the trailer.

So Lords of the Fallen, the action RPG that Witcher 2's producer is making and CDProjekt is as far as I can tell releasing got its first trailer:

Seeing that stuff in real life just drives home how ridiculous and impractical most of the ingame outfits are. Neat costume though.

This one's actually okay, compared to most others. It's not outdoor gear, but it's not any less weird than a lot of regular female fashion.

Unfortunately, it's somewhat flawed. I still beat it, because I've beat all Piranha Bytes games, but this was definitely not their best game.

You should play the first Risen first and if you like that, play Risen 2 and use muskets as your weapon of choice. They're simply the only non-wonky combat style.

As a Polish person, I have to say the Polish music scene is a source of great embarrassment for me. Even when the music is decent they look like complete dorks.

Then you have things like the Polish Euriovision entry.

Polish Eurovision entry was the best entry SHUT UP.

Speaking of voice acting, I was thinking of going through two again with a non-english voice pack. What sounds the most witcher-y? Polish obviously, but I also read the russian voices were really good? Or was that in 1?
