Interview Wow, something good for a change! Witcher Interview

[dagorkan]

CDProjekt Witcher PR guy: we're making a Classic RPG (TM)
Jinxed: Wow! Something good for a change!

Me: look at their websites & vids. It looks like an Action-RPG to me.

 

[Elhoim]

I´m more interested in their choice and consequence system.

Claw wonders why sheek is talking about himself in the third person.

Claw also wonder if it's possible that not everyone at the Codex has already watched all videos about the Witcher when they were freshly released and has seen the subtle differences between this Action-RPG and the Diablo variant. Claw decides that while The Witcher is clearly an Action-RPG, he still hold the hope that it'll be less shallow and action-centric than its brethren.

Hamster wants to remind everybody that Gothic 2 was action RPG too but it is repected by many people on Codex.

I didn\t connect his nationality to IT piracy.

Why do you lie?(c)

Stop the bullshit, start the truth.

He started to bitch about how democracy is so evil and there is no real freedom, and no law forbids to "lie" to the public, yet he doesnt seem to have a problem with theft.

I was just asking him why he doesnt go back to russia if democracy is so terrible after all. Nothing else. Dont take the asian comment to seriously, I was a little angry.

You dont even know what my version of what freedom is. And Russia shares the same political system as the rest of the West, genius. It isnt my idea of what the goverment and the laws should be about.

And no, I cant go to Russia. I dont have a citisenship and neither have I finished school.

Are all Poles or whatever you call yourself so bitter because they were gangraped by several countries while helplessly asking for help from others or just some?

It's got choice and consequence, and we've seen that in a video already, yep.
That's why I'm quite optimistic about the game.

 

[elander_]

“The Witcher” is a classic RPG – more analogous with titles like “Baldur’s Gate,” “Knights of the Old Republic,” and even “Fallout” – though presented in a completely new, modern and fresh form.

Some bold claims, but i think Gameshark is right in predicting that this game will be a story driven rpg with action combat. Just a better story than other games.

TOEE's combat was very static. It never changed.

You mean you were always taking a huge beating.

 

[SimpleComplexity]

sounds like a good game to me. well, in comparison with Oblivion, every game sounds good.

Why do you lie?

@OP I believe the CDP guys are just learning how to hype from the bestest of the bethsest. And it makes me sad, but I realize they are just trying to send their product.

Tis actually made me shed tears of joy. Maybe, just maybe, we will have a great game to play, the better Gothic 3.

 

[Edward_R_Murrow]

Something tells me it will pull a Gothic 3. Tons of potential, massive failure. That, or there is jack shit in terms of RPG-ness so they can market to the twitch-kiddies. Or possibly its actually pretty good.....but real time with pause, so it is basically an affront to everything and it must die.

No matter what, it will most likely end up sucking. This isn't Disneyland, shit happens.

Wow.

 

[Texas Red]

This game looks exactly like NWN 2 .

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

So TWD is a double dumbfuck now? Or is this some kind of error in my internet explorer.

 

[kingcomrade]

Double dumbfuck? lol that would be pretty cool.

 

[Fez]

He is indeed a double dumbfuck now. It's not your browser going wrong.

 

[kingcomrade]

Damn it Fez.

 

[MasPingon]

This game looks exactly like NWN 2 .

You would't see a difference between currant and a rat shit

 

[aboyd]

This game looks exactly like NWN 2 .

It's based off the NWN 1 engine, with their own custom improvements, so you might expect to see similarities.

 

[aboyd]

Or possibly its actually pretty good.....but real time with pause, so it is basically an affront to everything and it must die.

It's based off the NWN 1 engine, so it's RTwP built-in. I guess they could change that, but I've not seen any indication that they will. Seems like this isn't a title for you.

 

[Hamster]

Actually, from what i know, Witcher is fully real time, without giving orders on pause. Just like Gothic.

 

[27]

Nah, there is an 'active pause' with the possibility of giving orders.

 

[Kraszu]

Thewitcher have diferent combat mechanics since you have to click/attack in right time so pause is only useful for combos (as you make combos by selecting diferent attack types in order).
