Thanks to @Kinley and @mecha_fish for lyrics reconstruction.

Excuse me if this is a little bit off topic, but do you or anybody else have any idea how or where I could download the legal high quality audio for this one in English and Polish, and also the English, Polish and Japanese version of "The Wolven Storm"? I wouldn't mind paying for those. Thank you very much in advance

I'm not sure if it quallifies as "high quality", but definitely "legal" - All of these are now available at Spotify. (And possibly iTunes, but someone who uses that may need to confirm)

I should have looked around a little longer:

You might be a lunatic, but you have to give credit where credit is due.

Good lord, Kinley, don't encourage it.

 

[Riven-Twain]

Did someone call for more lunatics?

Is this CGI prerendered inengine or in other 3d software ?

Definitely not in engine. I think pre-rendered is the correct term.

"A Night to Remember" - has just received the prestigious 2015 animago AWARD for "Best Trailer/Opener".

Well deserved CD!

It was Digic Pictures who actually made it, but with close direction from CDPR. Well deserved. I count it as among the best CGIs ever done for a game.

No, it's not related to the engine. It's animation using other cinematic techniques.

Thanks, that's a great article. And they gave credit to Two Steps From Hell there.

Also, they confirmed the interpretation about vampire lullaby:

It was also important to show in the trailer, reflects project director Peter Sved, that the Witcher universe was “not about your stereotypical good versus evil characters - everyone has their own side of the story. The lullaby sung by the girl/vampire in the trailer is a great example of this: it is in fact a song that a ‘monster’ would sing to her offspring, about the terrible Witchers, who come and hunt them for money. It is an ambiguous world in this sense, where Geralt is not clearly a positive ‘hero’, and thus the film works deliberately to arouse some sympathy towards the girl/vampire.”

I'll add that to the Witcher wiki article.

No, it's not related to the engine. It's animation using other cinematic techniques.

Which ?

 

[Gilrond-i-Virdan]

Which ?

See the article @dmcaldw linked above. It has a lot of details about making of the trailer. They used motion capture and photogrammetry. In short, it's not a realtime engine scene, but pre-rendered graphics. Such kind of realism in the realtime engine would require a lot of computational resources.

Indeed it truly is, its simply amazing to see how far it has evolved since The Witcher 1

So after finishing supposedly the whole story of The Witcher 3, mind is blown that this (possibly) takes place chronologically after Blood and Wine.
Though can anyone from the dev team actually confirm this is

Spoiler

Orianna?

 

[Sagitarii]

@Aditya

Didn't finish Blood and Wine yet, but....

Spoiler

Her CGI face was used (and I think her CG animations even), so we can pretty safely assume it's her.

 

[Krull32]

Spoiler

For me it's definitely orianna. She looks extremely similar and that's no coincidence.
She also sings that song.

Btw, for me, this is still the best trailer ever made. Watched this countless times and still fascinating.
