I'm sold.

The environments look very impressive and extremely atmospheric.

One worry of mine is that it seems this game have the potential to run like shit on my computer. Hopefully it's decently optimized.

Geralts voice is "uber tough guy", but if the writing is sharp (another huge worry of mine) then it could be amusing.

Will definetely try the game out, though I don't think it will be for me in the end. Hopefully it will surprise me.

Wasn't that Garret's voice?

 

[Rina]

Looks good. But it's sad that they had to ruin the game by making the main character a pregenerated penismonkey.

He does have long hair :wink:

Listening to how Geralt describes the townsfolk and the NPCs , they seem to always have an evil/selfish/etc side you'll eventualy discover reminds me a lot of the manga Berserk.
I hope all the details Geralt talks about really show themselves in the game, and i won't have to 'roleplay' them.

Its nice to see a dark fantasy themed rpg for a change, i was getting really tired of all those fairy-tale games.

more liek rina has penisENVY

 

[Mefi]

Purty graphics. Just hope everything else lives up to expectations.

 

[Jasede]

Wasn't that Garret's voice?

Garrett from Thief?

I will buy -any- game that has the voice actor of Garrett in it, Stephen Russell (spelling?). He is the best male voice actor I know and with a voice to fall in love with.

So is it Stephen? I tried googling it but couldn't find out who did the VA. And I can't watch the video for some reason.

Try this then. Wyzima look incerdible

 

[Jasede]

Dunno, looks like Gothic 2 to me. I don't care about graphics much, as long as the game has animations. I am concerned though- this won't run on my Radeon 9600 SE, will it?

 

[Elwro]

Does it have shaders version 2.0? I think that's the requirement, but I may be wrong.

edit: this page:

http://www.thewitcher.com/community/en/ ... ments.html

says you need a Radeon 9800.

[Jaime Lannister]

Let's lynch an elf!

On another note, I bet there are a ton of "kill this boss monster" sidequests, ala FFXII, as that is what Geralt does for a living.

 

[Mamon]

I definetly see this game as a console release.

 

[aweigh]

Wow, the video was awesome. I literally can't wait to play it and make a blowjobby thread about it here.

 

[spacemoose]

I wonder if he's going to make these narrative observations in the game or is it just for this video?

It's just for the video. Any further comments will have to be LARPed by the player.

Rly Jasede, you should try more to be nextgen...

 

[made]

Is it just me, or do the NPCs look a bit out of place on the background scenery? Can't put my finger on it, but it looks kind of odd... maybe it's the shadows/lighting.

 

[denizsi]

Garrett from Thief?

No.

The washed out look of textures might have deceived me, but the graphics remind me of Morrowind, with the exception of higher poly-count for characters.

Learn some driver magic and you can do wonders in game graphical quality...

You can't really tell anything about how the game will play from the video's, its looks pretty and detailed but thats about it from what I can see.

I have hopes this game will be good, but gonna wait for codex reviews before purchasing.

I personally think the voice is a bit over the top cheesy tough guy sounding. What is with the halfing? He looks like a little girl to me and the part of him using a slingshot against that beast seems dumb.

Anyway, can't say that video did much for me.

 

[DemonKing]

I liked the little kid at the end aiming at the big squid with his little slingshot...how cute.

Looks ok, although I'm always pretty worried about the quality control of stuff developed in eastern europe!

I agree, it has not been the best in the past.

Also seems odd to me that the Dev's didnt think the halfling with the slingshot was kind of dumb, unless its intended as comedy.
