[PC/XB1/ps4] The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[Turtle]

Yep, sounded like shop talk between professionals. A lot of times in the industry, you don't have time for pleasantries and everyone knows what you're talking about.

VATS style combat and a 50hr+ campaign

how the 360 game save is going to carry over if this is supposed to be next gen i am not sure

360a.org

Among the new additions are a Fallout 3-style VATS system, with which players can combat enemies by slowing down time and targeting individual parts of their body.

In addition to this, our anti-hero Geralt will be able to climb and jump in a more free-form manner, and there’s an in-game economy that you can affect by sourcing, selling and buying goods like pelts.

Players of The Witcher 2 on Xbox 360 and PC will also be able to import data which will affect what characters will appear and how they will interact with Geralt, though apparently the backstory wont be affected.

The world, which we already know is massive, will also be dynamic, with a day-night cycle and a weather system that will partly dictate where and when monsters appear.

This is accentuated by what CD Projekt RED hopes will be believable AI, with citizens summoning guards if you’re caught stealing and observing daily routines.

To aid your travels around the world you can either buy horses or tame wild ones with Geralt’s Axii spell. In addition to this you can also jump in a boat and head out to sea.

that reminds me that I need to finish my replay of Witcher 1 so I can get to Witcher 2.

WOOHOO!

Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, project lead on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, has confirmed multiplayer modes, quick-time events, and DRM are not part of the plan for the third entry in the role-playing game series.

DRM isn't a big surprise, but the other two exclusions are quite welcome.

To Eurogamer, CD Projekt Red said it doesn't know yet how it will handle a publisher who doesn't allow The Witcher 3 to be re-sold—probably because the game does not yet have a publisher.

But CD Projekt Red runs Good Old Games, which makes a big selling point out of having no DRM, and there are few studios publishing titles of this size that have such a visible anti-DRM stance. Eurogamer says they're bristling at the guilt-by-association from appearing at Microsoft's event.

"We couldn't simply not release The Witcher 3 on Xbox One," CEO Marcin Iwiński told Eurogamer. "We want to make sure that every single player will have access to our game and thus decided to deliver for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. There are people who don't mind the DRM protection and will pick Xbox One as their platform of choice. We can't punish them."

Earlier, he said that "if you want the 100 per cent DRM-free experience you will have it on the PC, the platform where we set the rules for our games. The Witcher 3 will be available 100 per cent DRM-free on our digital distribution platform GOG.com, and that's one thing I can confirm."

and then although not mentioned here,you have the fact that the Xbox One won't launch in Poland this year,where CD Projekt Red are based
