I don't understand what they said about time limits. They said 30 days and 30 nights first then they said its not "real time" and it elapses by accomplishing goals? Wut?
Maybe it is like Disco Elysium where time only passes when you are in dialogue

Also, this presentation could have been an email

Poles are so much more pretentious than us Czechs, I had no idea

First some super boring cringe fake ass smiley corpo speak from two randoms

Then Tomaszkiewicz praising Fallout 2 while talking about "leaving the vault" which happens in Fallout 1...cringe, followed by Szamalek talking about how you are not superhero but twenty seconds later you have "cool superpowers"

Music was nice, brunette cellist is pretty

Then CGI intro, which while nice, is still just lame CGI

Then more incessant scripted talking of developers among themselves, which comes across as fake-ass pretentious

Then another nice music

Then 30 second gameplay teaser which looks good enough, I guess

Overall, that was very underwhelming.
Ok, here you go: niggers, niggers, niggers, gaaaaaaaaaays, tranny x9000, ugly woman, ugly woman, girlbosssssssssssssss aaaaand thinly veiled zoophilia

Better? This ain't great,but this is their 1st independent project, in production for 2 years (not 10 like Bethesda, not 7 like CD Projekt) and they set the mood and tone for this setting (something they explicitly said this will be at least 17 times) and fuckers from PC Gamer will have more details in next month like IGN had with KCD2 and there is long gameplay video coming in summer

They made errors, they tripped few times, they might have booooored zoom-zooms with tik-tok attention span but overall - it was OK! Which is great start. Anyone who expects from himself or others perfection on first step is a fool and enemy to Good. Nothing Good starts off good. It gets there. This was good first glance

I guess they meant doing their jobs until dawn. This is about vampires, after all.

I guess it is similar to Dragon's Dogma, but on a bigger scale. Or maybe Dead Rising would be more apt. Every time you complete a quest the timer moves on and closes some unsolved /omitted quests. The world also changes irreversibly based on your choices. Time is like turns and in one turn you complete a set of things.

Exactly, considering these are veterans with 20 years of experience, I expected much better than not great, sue me.
I suppose Tomaszkiewicz mixing Fallout and Fallout 2 immediately soured me :p
But all in all it was just weak presentation. Game itself may be ok, we simply haven't seen anything meaningful to make any judgements about that.

I just wanted a gameplay trailer in a gameplay reveal but apparently it's too much to ask for The Wall .

Remember, this is Witcher 4. Not Arcanum 2 or Fallout 3 (that didn't happen). Adjust expectations. No one forced them to name drop old-skool Fallouts. Nor have time urgency which is something normies are ALERGIC to. Nor have dynamic main villain who responds to main character's behaviour by changing world. Heart and soul can be SEEN and FELT on screen. Compared to "official" Witcher 4, this is my Witcher 4

WHO the fuck said this was promised to be GAMEPLAY reveal? Show me. They said "AND very small gameplay snippet". And thus you got very small gameplay snippet. You'll get very large one in summer

Does it even matter? If premise is shit, if Devs are cucks, trannies and niggers, if everything is shit would you be happy if you got 2h long gameplay? Also: it wasn't 3h of talking FFS. You're worse then CNN. 2h55min was countdown

Did anyone pay attention if there was a dark-skinned "person" in the material shown so far, this game might have an edge over Kingdom Cum 2....

wall nigga completely cucked for potato dick. shamefur dispray.
PUSSY! For Polish pussy. Sleeps on couch behind me. And it is worth being one thing I compromise for in my life if it is so divine and such my personal SunWell. And it is :smug:


I Make Only Good Compromises™. Like this being Witcher 4 which will be better Witcher 4 in every way and release before CD Projekt's Witcher 4

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth

14th-century Europe​

Bloody conflicts sweep the lands, and the Black Death comes for the survivors. In the wake of the disasters claiming thousands of lives, the decimated human population struggles for survival. It's a moment of weakness - and that's all they needed.

Vampires seize their opportunity​

They walk out of the shadows and claim what they've been denied for centuries: freedom, and power that comes with it. Other creatures of the night follow their lead. Legends turn into reality, and history as we know it will never be the same.

You play as Coen​

A young man turned into a Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night. Fight for your humanity or embrace the cursed powers to save your family. Whatever your choice, the question stands: is your soul worth the lives of those you love?

Combine vampiric strength with human resolve​

Face your foes - be they human, monster, or the ticking clock itself. But remember - the real evil may bask in the sun's light, and the most loyal of allies could lurk under the cover of night.

Decide which path to follow and whom to trust in Rebel Wolves' narrative sandbox!​

I very much doubt they have the traversal and combat systems in a state that can produce those snippets, else they'd be showing more. It's probably just some assets thrown together to resemble the intended gameplay.

Looks like they're trying to build up some general hype for investor fishing. Being in the slipstream of the Witcher reveal might help them, especially if they can promise delivery before CDPR.

Turns out Shani did stitch the right tubes after all.

Technically you're right, after all that's why the longer presentation is so far away in time. However, this type of game is so embedded in combat and movement that it is something that is the center of the production. I believe that they showed us the essence of the game, and the rest is a matter of possible expansion.
It reminds me of another Polish game:

Multiple times they mention how they will explore problems of multi-culturism where you have humans and monsters co-existing in valley where feudal lords have been changed by Vampires. Magic will be dangerous and not simple, like medieval X-FILE. Vampires will subvert christian teachings, call themselves new shepards, sheep aka humans will have to survive in this world where Evil not only won but is giving some peasants second doubts who was truly worse ruler - Vampires or Human Lords

Come on! No, it ain't Dostoevsky, but it's better premise then literally 100% shit coming from West in last 5 years. Minimum. Don't get excited, just don't write it off too soon

If Coen is a jew then we have the best game ever.
It's set in Balkans/Eastern Europe of 14th century. Coen's little sister had plague. Jews spread the plague, Lord with his men was hunting Coen for plague spreading. Sooo... (no, I'm not serious, his sister looks like 1000% ukranian blonde doll)

Cute female Devs. 8-9/10 lead Devs are male. All look like competent and with their T level in acceptable range. Lead Dev was banished from CD Projekt Red for being sexist bully who whipped Devs there too much and made them to crunch (does explain how in 2.5 years, this summer, they'll be able to already have gameplay showcase lol). Also ZERO NIGGERS, only one mongolian higher vampire, looks like Khan. That makes sense, with backdrop being Carpathia 14th century

What's to be overtly upset? Nothing. Good that this is happening
