So have I and it's actually quite good for pre-alpha, so don't lose your pants CDPR.

Oh no! A leaked footage!Poor CDPR, what to do now??? I guess they'll have to delete the game and start over...

But srsly, what's the deal with a few ppl seeing the gameplay? I mean every major gaming site has already seen it so it's not like they will give the game any bad rep...

The thing is, the vid is not representative of tw3 final build, there is no sense in showing it now if they can show final build later and generate much more hype out of it.

But It has already leaked, it's done, there's nothing they can do now.

But they can't just sit and watch it all burn.

PR people are paid not only for hyping things up on Twitter, but also (and actually mostly) for damage control.

Yep. I did no find any faults with this video (except the obvious - recording quality). Geralt now can jump - imagine this! There is nothing for CDPR to worry about in terms of negative effect on potential customers. The only effect on me is that I want a normal official HD video of this demo, that's all.

Yeah, like i said earlier they can't do anything about it and there is no sense in crying over a spilled milk but i understand why are they pissed. If somebody with huge expectations would watch that video i am sure he will be little disappointed.

So they're doing a pretty bad job if you can just google the leak and watch it anytime. But we can't really blame them, it's the internet.


The ONLY ppl cdpr can blame are the ones that were responsible for watching over the audience at gamescom presentation, they are the ones that fucked up and should be fired imo.

 

[CostinRaz]

I agree.
Apparently, NeoGAF got an email from them.
Apparently, they're mighty pissed.

Ah there was a post about CDPR's response to NeoGAF? Truth of the matter is that NeoGAF is not responsible for the leak. Getting angry at NeoGAF is like getting angry at any forum since a member posted a link to a leak.

Personally I think CD Projekt had this coming a mile away when they decided they were going to show pre-alpha gameplay footage but restrict that to those wonderful pieces of shit that we call "gaming journalists" while having those "journalists" generate a lot of media buzz and hype for their game.

They knew there were going to be a lot of people expressing an interest in their game and knew people were going to want to see the footage badly.

Really it's not surprising it happened.

Meh really. I am kinda tired of companies creating games in a vacuum where they don't share anything but very small bits of information until the graphics are ready or close to ready. I understand keeping the main story under wraps, but showing off bits of gameplay and graphics, that shouldn't be a problem

If you are catering your game to a mature audience I think you should at least treat them with a bit of respect and not as imbeciles who will cry foul at how shitty it looks. Mature players would understand that there's still a lot of work to do.

Exactly. That's why I was wondering why to have a new behind-closed-doors presentation of the same stuff at all. The first time people were unaware of TW3, and it made a huge effect. People didn't leak it because they did not know what it was. But for the second presentation it should have been expected that somebody would decide to record and leak it.

As one statement of mine on this thread has already been misunderstood, I guess the best thing for me to do is to direct you to the said NeoGAF thread.

And I disagree with and object to your blanket statement regarding gaming journalists, of which there are many kinds.

 

[CostinRaz]

Well there was an audio recording of E3, but no one dared to try and video record there because they didn't realize just how big the hype train would be.

Now the hype train has gotten really big. So someone took the risk to generate some hits.

And disagree with and object to your blanket statement regarding gaming journalists, of which there are many kinds.

There is no such thing as a professional gaming journalist. Sure there are plenty of people who review games, critique games and so on and I respect quite a few but they don't call themselves "gaming journalists"

 

[KnightofPhoenix]

The game looked fantastic and it's only pre-alpha. CDPR have nothing to be ashamed of.

Well, I had and still have HUGE expextations and I'm not disappoined, considering that this footage is at least 18 months from the final game release.

There is also a problem of protecting confidential material. There are other games in work in progress and the risk to be beat on the time is high.

I'd wait for the official release.

Late August + 18 months = February 2015

 

[prince_of_nothing]

Yep, a game as highly anticipated as the Witcher 3 is bound to stir up a lot of excitement, and people were expecting something MORE than just a few screenshots released from Gamescom.

I was hoping for a new video, or even better, some actual information about the technological aspects that will be in the game.

Will the engine be 64 bit? What version of PhysX will be used? They know the answer to these questions already, but keeping tight lipped isn't always a good strategy..

 

[wichat]

/>/>

No, the date when it was created (before June-E3), not when I see it in youtube.

 

[CostinRaz]

The engine is 64 bit and DirectX 11 only, they already answered that. PhysX will include Cloth, Hair and Fur, dunno anything about particles. They will also have TXAA.

 

[gregski]

I hope it won't have a negative effect on the amount & schedule of game related materials CDPR shares with the world.
