This is discouraging to hear. The Witcher 2 on X360 was probably my most favourite game of recent memory! The gameplay, the graphics, the lore, the writing, the monsters EVERYTHING was just simply stellar.
I built a computer this year 2014 for the sole purpose of playing the Witcher 3 on optimal settings. Please tell me my computer will still be able to run this game optimally and the development team isn't taking the extra time to increase the optimal specs!
My rig:
i7-4770k @3.5ghz
gskillZ 2400 16GB
EVGA GeForce 770 4GB
Various SSD and HDD
There already is a thread about specs http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/20988-Predicted-witcher-3-system-specs-Can-I-run-it
