i am pretty sure witcher 3 will be as good as witcher 2 , even better because the people at cd projekt knows their craft
TW2 is in my humble opinion, one of the best looking games ever made. It was the perfect marriage of solid art direction with graphical tech. And to me, it's kind of crazy that they seem to have maintained the same quality in TW3 despite going open world. There's only one example I can think of where TW2 looks better, and that's the dark, subterranean environments. But I've only seen a slice of TW3. I might change my view once I get the game in my hands.
I think I remember reading that there won't be any Elves settlement or cities in the game?
but he saw some footage and thinks to see enough to deduce that witcher 2 has more magic
that is his own privilege but in all honesty i think he will be wrong about that
Be careful what you wish for.
For the night is dark and full of spoilers.
Don't you want your first magical experience to be in the game and not on YouTube
... Winter is coming!
https://youtu.be/nYwe_WHARdcI check Youtube everyday to see if there any new video gameplay footage of the Witcher 3, but none so far. We are close to the release date (unless push back) and still not many videos on it.
That's because the ONLY elven settlements in the world are in Valley of Flowers squatting in the mountains between Aedirn and Lyria, FAR away from the playable area.
Well, if I remember correctly from the books, many of the human cities are built on top of old Elven cities.
So who knows, there might be areas deep beneath some cities that lead to some ancient Elven areas. One can hope.
Miles Tost, in the Forum Q&A Spotlight , mentioned he pushed -- successfully -- for Elven ruins in the game.
eliharel asked:
It's said in the books that many main human cities were built on elven ones, such as Novigrad. Did you keep this in mind when designing them? If so, what did you do to give that vague elven foundation? Or did you work under the concept that it's been such a long time ago that there's barely any elven touch left?
Always something that I remembered from the books and I always tried to bring up and pester people whenever there was a chance for it. Without going into further detail, all I can say so far is:
Mission successful.

Do you mean not many videos in total of TW3? Because there's over an hour and a half of different gameplay footage from E3 2014 until today, not including trailers. I can list down the different videos in that hour and a half calculation if you'd like. I think that's a huge amount, even without the videos of YouTubers that will air today.I check Youtube everyday to see if there any new video gameplay footage of the Witcher 3, but none so far.

No, it doesn't. W2 looked ridiculusly colorful, all those blur effecs made the game sometimes almost unplayable.
This looks like some kind of high fantasy japanese bullshitty mmorpeg, not a realistic Witcher world. God, I'm glad they didn't go that way again.
