The Witcher: Tour of Vizima video

[dragonfk]

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.

If he aimed for the monsters eye(which i think he did) it surely wont be funny for that monster .

Comedy. Listen to Geralt's build-up description of the guy's reputation. The way he describes him, you'd think it's some Medieval Guido style tough guy, but then you see this halfling and it's like "The hell...?"

I realize it was supposed to be comedy, but the halfling guy looked way to much like a little kid. I didnt find the comedy to work well in the dark theme they were going for though. Nonetheless, this doesnt tell us anything about how the game will play or be.

Looks good. My PC will never run it though.

 

[Pegultagol]

I am impressed by the video, but I sense there are some awkwardness in diction. Maybe the setting is really a quasi-medieval type transplanted with unique modern mannerisms, but I felt it the most when he explained 'PFI' being 'poor fucking infantry'.

It is. The Witcher books read like modern noir fiction set in a medieval-fantasy world. Sometimes it works very well, sometimes not at all.
Oh, and the PFI bit will probably confuse people who haven't read the books.

 

[Severian Silk]

Does PFI stand for the same thing in Polish? Does the Polish alphabet have a P, F and I? I have to agree that it kind of broke immersion.

The fuck? Is Uwe Boll involved in this?

That's idiotic, and it sounds pretty bad in the game.

As for the film, from what I know it is like [Uwe Boll]^2 .

1) That's the same stuff you can find on WoW, why even bother showing it?

2) Any particular reason why the interface is so over-bearing? Does the inventory window really require to cover half the screen?

Graphics looks great (though the presence of bloom brings it a down a notch), and that's all those videos have been able to convey.

 

[Chefe]

That looks awesome. Good animations are unfortunately overlooked too often today.

Witcher FTW

Oh, this is painful. Although I'm a witcher-worshipper I gave up after first 10 minutes of this crap. It's like "PS:T: The Movie" made by Uwe Boll (but with a lower budget).

 

[dragonfk]

why even bother showing it?

Because it IS an example of side quest? You know I rather like them to show that kind of quest than some really fun quest, at least they wont spoil it for me.

 

[Texas Red]

How did the Polish noobs manage to create such "next gen" graphics from the Aurora engine while with Obisidian and NWN 2 they are slightly dated?

 

[Jasede]

How are those graphics next gen? It looks like Gothic.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

That's almost Volournian in its preposterousness.

 

[MasPingon]

How are those graphics next gen? It looks like Gothic.

What looks like gothic? Please, tell me, I want to know

 

[Whirler]

Probably Gothic is the only one that looks like Gothic itself.

I took one lokk at the Vizima video and I have to admit, too.

I'm sold :D

The game's settings are some of the most unique, and innovative in the truest sense of these words I have seen in crpg department for many years. The marsh scene is brilliant and the end scene in the Vizima video is emotionally moving and such.

I'm sort of sad though that Geralt only will be making these comments for the Vizima video. It would be nice to hear his thoughts about other cities as well

 

[Andyman Messiah]

Not impressed. I'm about 85 percent convinced the game won't actually behave like in that show-off video. I'll wait for a proper video instead of an obviously directed ad.

Edit: But yes, the style is good and if the high amouny of detail holds onto itself for the whole game it'll be pretty awesome. But whatevah.

Edit2: Fuck.
