Next-gen. Should be interesting to see these jiggle:

What? Throw in some Nvida chest hair in there for good measure and you'll have the most technologically advanced chest in gaming. A thing of beauty, really.

Anyway, the german article also contained some interesting tech information, which Guy translated here, if anyone is interested and has missed that thread.

 

[onionshavelayers]

Maybe this is not an article but if you go to http://www.dsogaming.com/ you will see a voting poll that shows the Witcher 3 taking the lead as most anticipated game of 2015 with 30% of votes right now. I think witcher 3 will be the game that launches CDPR into the big leagues, and I'm happy for them!

The boobs on the biggest ladie of the woods :X
I noticed that she has no bra in the artwork unlike in the game, i guess it's for the best.

Also i there a Thread for questions ?
I know CDPR are pro modding, is W3 gonna have a workshop, or modding is gonna work like in W2 ? (which i have no idea how it worked, it has been a while)

For modding specifically, you can use this thread: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/30086-The-Witcher-3-Modding

If you have several unrelated questions, I suggest either seeking out the respective threads that would be suitable for them, or just using this one: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/32448-Mixed-questions

 

[selethen]

Lads anyone knows when we will get new materials from The Witcher 3 ?

 

[Eddard20]

I thought pc gamers were more forgiving? I thought TW1 and TW2 still needed work after launch, why are you guys going to be mad if they do the same with TW3? Do you not trust CDPR to fix up the game because they always do!

Exactly! CDPR at least cares about their game and fans, they won't release a half finished game and even after it's out they keep fixing whatever small issues there may be, while many other companies just throw those buggy, crashing games at us and won't even think about delaying them to polish it, because their first priority is milking more money out of customers, and then just Day-one patch the games. And in some cases even then it's a mess.

Someone doesn't know how to translate some things from german to english, like:
"260 designers worked on W3, compared to 5 in W2." - yeah, right .. in 2003 the studio did have 5 designers, but on W2 worked about 100 - 130 people, if I remember correctly

"Can talk about important decisions from previous game with barber." - this actually what it says in the original german article.. I don't know why they have this information, when we know it's going to be a bard (quite possible Dandelion?)

 

[Garrison72]

So this article states they have about 300 people working on the game. They keep growing fast. I recall Iwinsky saying they wouldn't get much over 200, but with Cyberpunk and all the side projects I'm betting that notion went out the window.

:wat::rly?:
How many 3rd person RPGs have you played exactly?

Enlighten me Nick

 

[Garrison72]

Hopefully not a repost.

 

[Scheuk]

Hopefully not a repost.

I'm suffering from a bout of Witcher media overload, does this video have anything new in it?

 

[tmarvolo]

Hopefully not a repost.

Here they talk about free DLCs, can we request or suggest DLCs or all the 16 DLCs decided and finalized.
cuz I want to play as Triss in one of the DLCs and know more about her character and story post witcher 2 (only if I can't play as Triss in the Main Game, that would suck though)
Also we need a mission where we meet Shani.

EDIT: So Watched it entirely it has few spoilers on The Witcher 2 and mild spoilers on Ciri as well (that I was quick to skip phew)
Most Importantly its 1080p 30FPS on PS4.

You'll find out plenty in regards to Triss post-Witcher 2 in a little game called The Witcher 3.

Not sure why you want to play as Triss, but each to their own, however I wouldn't expect something huge like that in the 16 DLC's. If that even happens (And I seriously doubt it) it would be in some large-scale DLC that adds a huge amount of content and is a proper paid DLC (Expansion). 16 DLC's is mostly just going to be small stuff like alternate costumes, armor sets, small quests.

A "small" quest could involve Shani, and I'd kill for that, however I ain't getting my hopes up. Already pretty sad that she's not going to be in the base game, Oxenfurt was a perfect opportunity.

I am more than happy to pay for additional content that involves a few hours of gameplay. As TW3 being the last adventure of Geralt it might mostly be the last of Triss too, she is my Favorite character and I want to play as her before she won't be available to us anymore. Triss even got sidelined in most of the recent trailers and demos too

Nothing all that new in this interview with Damien Monnier. But there was one interesting quote.

What were your biggest challenges in creating the game?

Bringing the game to the open world format was definitely a challenge. We had to change the way we think about quests and the overall design of the game. Everything is accessible at any given time, so we had to foresee events that would not usually happen in a closed world game. You can do quests in any order you want which means that they have to interconnect somehow, you can go anywhere so we had to introduce a robust monster system and so on. There was a lot of creative thinking involved but I think we’ve managed to create something truly epic!

I've never seen this explicitly said in one of the interviews (though I'm sure I've missed a bunch of them).
