[Velnuht]

why is PC the only one that has different screen

 

[SaladinBarchan]

Killer bears? I am beginning to think CD project made some fan service for Kinley. Always knew the REDs favored him above the rest of us:mean:....

 

[AndreasZ94]

the journalists played on high settings. Ultra is not optimized and they weren't allowed to play on ultra.
source: Gamestar live stream

Edit: 1080p- 30 fps: ps4
900p- 30 fps- xbox one (but they try to reach 1080p)

Damn it, i want to see the new build of the game on ultra settings. I guess we have to wait until May.

I take Kotaku's words with a grain of salt in all things, but here they are.

"Eh, it was a video game," I flippantly told a friend shortly after I got back from a recent Witcher 3: Wild Hunt preview event in San Francisco. "I don't know. It was alright, I guess."

I will even ignore the fact that it is Nathan Grayson in question, but seriously? You are supposed to be a 'gaming journalist' and this is your opening statement on the article about a new AAA title? i can't comprehend how in this day and age these glorified bloggers are still allowed to wave their licences and VIP cards around, pushing their own agendas and biases, not even TRYING to sound objective.

[Warlegend]

Aw yis. Watching Gamestar Stream on Twitch snapped while playing DA:I ^^ Pretty interesting, they just talked about stormy weather on Skellige Islands and how he was impressed by the effects and atmosphere that surpasses the weather simulation of many other titles nowadays

 

[Sharpy47]

I hope that in official stream we will see more fighting against humans I love how the combat animations were improved and how fluid it looks! Let's see more of it against more enemies! Let the limbs fly!

A worrying one. They speak of severe technical issues with a lot of crashes, having to restart the pc and even having 8 crashes on the PS4 version.
They end up saying that the content itself is fine but that the technical issues could pose a problem.

yeah, he said it was the best storm he has ever seen in a video game. And he also said that the two guys next to him, played the same scene/location and all three had different weather: storm/rain/snowing

As far as I can tell it's a different game?! Or was Kinley (and with that cdpr) being sarcastic?! I dunno

I mean, bugs and polishing is why they delayed it, right? Let's hope they have enough time to squish the nastier ones before release.

 

[Dan_Normandy]

Read an spanish article, they're completely blown away, the only downside, little technical problems (fps drops, etc)

8 crashes? That's less than TW2 would have had month and half before the release so that sounds pretty good.

 

[Geralt_of_bsas]

god so much information, everything im reading seems to be very positive, and the fact that all articles talk about the game being well introduced and presented for newcomers or not is a major win for CDPR, its extremely important that the game actually makes itself attractive from the beginning just by itself, with no requirements or "studies" to be made by the player before.

 

[1337Smithy]

I want to witness one of these storms... The weather system is something we haven't really seen at all yet...

Indeed. I thought this little nugget deserved being called out too:

"Sauron and his magical ice blimp. The main villain—at least, for the brief moment I saw him during the opening flashback—looked a lot like Sauron from the Lord of the Rings movies, except with some kind of magical ice blimp. It was kind of silly."

I'm sorry, but just no.

This.

Does not equal.

Or even this.

 

[randyrhoads]

Kinda worried about the bugs report and the performance hits

 

[BRANCHINGSTORIESFTW]

Do the journos report anything on mounted combat?Is it still a feature?

 

[1337Smithy]

I'm not worried in the slightest - I'd be more annoyed if there weren't any, seeing as they did delay for this very reason.
