The Witcher The Witcher IV - The Ciri Saga Begins

[Harthwain]

You never said "if" before faggot, stop dodging and own up to your mistake.

If it is true that they are using Unreal Engine now instead of RED Engine (either because all the who know how to operate it left, or because they decided it is no longer worth using), this would explain the differences between the models. They simply tried to recreate Ciri from TW3 in TW4, but couldn't make it 1:1, resulting in the Uncanny Valley effect.

No, it speaks volumes of your ability to communicate with people, faggot. You have had no issue understanding me, just explaining yourself.

I explained myself fine. It is you who can't accept the truth. But I will elaborate, since it is clear you need help.

I was making a conjecture on why Ciri could be looking the way she looks after seeing her aged-up model and recalling an information that CDPR switched engines (from RED to Unreal) and another one that suggested there aren't people left in the studio to handle the previous one. This could mean they needed to create a new model (I have no idea if it is possible to simply import it from RED to Unreal, mind you) and their recreation we can see in the trailer. This is under the assumption that they wanted to make a faithful model, because there is simply no point to discuss a bad faith recreation (so I didn't even bother to mention that scenario as it is obvious. But apparently not to some).

Havent played games from japan in over a decade. You are desperately trying to discredit me because you are, in fact, wrong (And a faggot).

I mistook you for another poster with an anime image who had half of his post in the jRPG forum. I am not good at reading anime faces. Mea culpa on that front. You still can't read though. Or your English is so poor you have serious difficulties doing so, at best. And you're still a piece of shit. Fuck you, good sir.

You are such a dishonest little weasel. You are pointing to the if used when speculating about the change of engine, when in any engine, making the exact same face and aging it would have been easy for a good enough 3D artist. Thats why I called it a cope, because its obviously a stupid assumption to make.

Or your English is so poor you have serious difficulties doing so

My english is fine, faggot.

 

[Quillon]

It isn't hard to recreate/move/convert 3D models between modern engines, besides we haven't seen the in-engine model from W4(?). Also you can't just botch it to the extend that you make 20 something looking girl feel like 40+ lol

 

[Harthwain]

You are such a dishonest little weasel. You are pointing to the if used when speculating about the change of engine [...]

Not being clear is not the same as being dishonest. What is truly dishonest here is your hypocrisy; not being able to own up to your mistake that you thought someone else was wrong. You made a mistake not understanding - because of your poor language skills - that I was making a one big hypothesis and now you're reaping what you sow. Everything in that post is one big "if". If they made a change of engine. If they tried to recreate Ciri model 1:1. And so on, and so forth. Just because I didn't bother putting "if" before each sentence (because I am not a lawyer by trade and I had more faith in people's intelligence and reading skills than I apparently should've) doesn't change any of that nor my original intent when I made that post. But you can't recognize that, because this would put you in the wrong. Well, keep trying to cope.

[...] when in any engine, making the exact same face and aging it would have been easy for a good enough 3D artist. Thats why I called it a cope, because its obviously a stupid assumption to make.

As I said before - I didn't know if it is possible to import model from one engine to another. In the same vein I had no idea if it is possible "make the exact same face" by hand (or however it is done). I also had no idea if they indeed even have "good enough 3D artist" left in their studio after the exodus to handle such task. So, yeah, it is all a long chain of assumptions (plural), one after another. Is it stupid? For someone with the knowledge about the subject it surely is. I am not disputing that. What I mean is that calling it cope was wrong (and I explained why before, so I don't think I need to write it again). It is simple as that. If you still can't understand that, you're truly the stupid one.

My english is fine, faggot.

There we go, admitting that you are wrong. Was that so hard?

Theres nothing else that needs discussed, have a good day.

[Inec0rn]

switch engine = character model ages 10 years?

what a bozo.

 

[GrainWetski]

Now this is what we call projection. Just accept reality that your DEI-focused ESG-trash peddler is indeed shit and gay. They're proud about it and you should be too!

The level of girlboss cringe with Ciri is off the chart.

 

[Odoryuk]

The release will explode this place more than Veilguard, Dustborn and Concord combined, it will be glorious to see

 

[Tyrr]

Of course it will.
Nobody here cared about these games. But with W4 you can not only make fun of the game, but also the people who like it.
Double the fun.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

Nobody here cared about these games.

Of course no one here cares about the games they spam hundreds of pages about even before the release happens. We care about the ones that maybe reach double digits if one of the plants re-posts some social media posts.

 

[Lord_Potato]

It will be even more glorious due to the whining when it sells very well and grants CDPR another big hit

 

[Ryzer]

This level of polish cope lmao.

"You laugh about the game, that means you are interested about it"
"It will sell well, therefore the game will be good. Take that chuds"

Anyone here was exited about playing Veilguard, Dustborn or Concord?

 

[Lord_Potato]

This level of polish cope lmao.

"You laugh about the game, that means you are intestered about it"

Where is the cope?

You'll play it and whine about it, just like Witcher 3.

"It will sell well, therefore the game will be good. Take that chuds"

Certainly it will sell well. At this point trying to boycott Witcher 4 would be as effective as the famous boycott of Hogwart's Legacy.

Will it be good? We shall see. With CP2077 CDPR has proven they are strong not only in story department, but can also create engaging gameplay. Will they do the same here? I guess we'll find out eventually.

 

[Quillon]

You know people who tried to boycott HL never had any real power outside of being loud in social media and they are probably masturbating to W4 right now where as people who aren't happy with W4 news so far are actual players who have the potential to impact the game's success. We'll see to what extend it'll be from the marketing and the game itself obv. I have my preliminary predictions

Im definitely not going to boycott W4, once its released I will play it and then I can objectively comment on it

I have already mentioned that Im not happy the main character is not Geralt or another male Witcher and thats because the Witcher world is a mans world as far as the stories are concerned and its going to be strange playing a women

But Im not going to write W4 off until I have played the game

And then Codex gaming " boycotts " are probably the most inconsistent and lacklustre types of protests and outrage you could be part of

They typically involve people complaining about a game for years and how shit its going to be and then when the game is released most of the same people ranting about the game end up playing it

 

[Inec0rn]

Unlikely i'll play this game, but typically i just watch some mute youtube gameplay of something then decide if i want to play it. It's pretty easy.

^ this guy has to buy and play slop to even know if it's something he likes or not. Then he likely defaults to some utub'er's opinion to tell him if the games good or not.. and if the games shit then he will start posting about sales figures. If the sales figures suck too, then it will be mods or i wait for DLC to save it.

trust me, just check the starfield thread.

 

[Tyrr]

I wouldn't call *not buying a product you have no interest in consuming* a "boycott".
The same way I'm not boycotting Veilguard or soy milk. I just don't buy it.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

Anyone here was exited about playing Veilguard, Dustborn or Concord?

Nope. I confirm that no one here is ever excited about the latest current thing console pseudo-rpg from a big dev/publisher. It's kinda contrary to what you might think looking at the boards, but I assure you that's correct.

 

[mondblut]

Are certain people here even aware how 3D models are produced? Hint: this process has fuck all to do with the engine used by the game. Unless they have half of a braincell and lost all of their source assets in a server crash, they wouldn't ever need* to "recreate" anything.

* "it's 2024, so we need pimplerays and frecklemaps. also, 100000 polygons doesn't cut it anymore, we need at least 200000" does not constitute as "need".

 

[Lyric Suite]

Lmao holy hell Geralt's married life in the big city seems like such a shitty deal.

Sure, i get it, he has a shitty job and business isn't what it used to be, but still, he got to travel around, meet interesting people, and bang the occasional willing wench what more did he need?

This whole thing with Yennefer just screams of Andrzej Sapkowski projecting his own problems into his writing.

 

[Hace El Oso]

When I played The Witcher 3, I reconciled with Triss and was gentle with Yennefer in her moment of existential crisis. So they both chimped out, naturally.
...and set Geralt free. For me the game ended with him at a tavern, broke and heading out on The Path again. A perfect ending, and the perfect end of my interest in The Witcher.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Libtard or not, Sapkowski is several orders of magnitudes more interesting than those woke retards.

Yennefer is a far more interesting exploration of the problems that would uniquely beset a woman in a world like this.

She studied magic not because she is an independent smart woman who can do everything a man can do (and better!), but because as an ugly misshapen hunchback or whatever she used to be she had no value as a woman. And the price she had to pay, the inability to bear children, clearly weights heavily on her.

A modern writer would never write a character like this. A woman, suffering because she can't bear children? Unthinkable. She has a lucrative career as a mage even if she could get pregnant she would likely have an abortion!

Anyway this story is depressing i liked the dragon hunt much better.
