So two showings, hey?
Twice the chances of a leak. How unfortunate!

I'd like to reiterate my suggestion that you guys also release the Q&A segment, hopefully sooner than the demo itself, just to ease the wait.

Usually, such Q&A's are recorded by people attending them and then, later on, released on YouTube. I don't think there will be any restrictions as far as recording the Q&A panel.

Come on, we're starving here! We want more info, and not all of us can afford to go to another continent to see the panel. Could we at least get a small teaser of what your're going to show?

Please? :crybaby:

The Witcher: It will be the fragment we've shown behind closed doors during E3.

from facebook so nothing new

I guess we have to hope that someone records and releases the panel the day after. This wait is agonizing!

 

[scratcherpen]

I really like that brutal drawing of Simon and how you guys sculpted Wraiths. Nightwraiths can look even more scary than Guilermo Del Toro movie Mama Wraith. Anyway Marcin it will be very interesting days. Especially i`ll` be waiting for 25 to see more from your CDPR talented artists and see what new to come. And ooooof course the gameplay . Can we see some of Geralt new or upgraded gear please ???

And how about the live demo on the 25th? Will there be any restrictions for recording it?

 

[scratcherpen]

Wait , what? Paul Tobin from Weta Workshop? And he works for Witcher franchise now ????? Yeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhh !!!!!!:victory: Oh wait, he did that with House of Glass already. Hope he will do some art too.

So it's the same E3 demo hey? I wonder if that means they'll show it thrice in a row at Gamesocn?
Can't really tell from this quote:

The game demo will be exclusive to SDCC and then we will show something after or on GC.

Yes, it's the same.

But they didn't say which E3, what if it's E3 2013 gameplay... but with all the latest improvements. So they don't spoil anything

So does this mean we will get high quality W3 replica swords and medallions someday?
United Cutlery makes cool swords too, anyways I hope so.. I also really want a cool looking high quality Geralt action figure!

Thanks Rafal Jaki for being a badass!

 

[Garrison72]

@Rafal Jaki: It's funny, I saw the illustration and thought 'that looks like a Simon Bi...it is Simon Bisley!' So does he work for Dark Horse or did the REDs hire him for this? Just curious. Have fun at the con, I look forward to getting some youtube vids.

 

[scratcherpen]

Oh. Got that. My mistake. Ruined my illusions that Hobbit artist will draw something for the Witcher by myself.

But does that means new comic cycle arrives ? Please with new artist and cover artist please please please !!!! With style looking something like that .

I know passes to the convention center itself are long gone; they sold out months ago.
But the events at Jolt'n Joe's -- are these open to everyone, or only Comic-Con pass holders?
