Looks like there will be plenty of different main menu backgrounds. We've already seen like 3, and there's one there with Geralt just chilling. Even though the main menu in TW2 wasn't as artistically interesting as The Witcher 1 (And the theme wasn't nearly as good), I definitely appreciated the changing backgrounds depending on chapter/location.
Edit: And naturally... I'm jealous as fuck of all those people.
Also Is it just me or does the fourth screen along (In the foreground) look like a Dwarf in a bath?

I wasn't expecting the W3 to have a playble preview event because of the open world. Did the "close" a specific area for the demo or the press can explore the whole map?
Could be either, although surely there's possibly areas of the game that are less polished than others and they might not want people around there due to crashing & bugs. So going off a hunch I'd say they were probably locked to a certain area, but surely still a relatively reasonably sized locale.
We'll find out in a week anyway, not long now.
The first screen is part of a cutscene? Second screen is main menu. third screen is part of the same cutscene from the first screen (alse grey), and the fourth screen is Geralt in a bath when a woman is joining him? Seems like a woman atleast.
I'm thinking this was taken just when all the journalists were sitting (probably reading sone leaflets on the table, with the controles etc.), since most of them are still on the main menu or in some sort of cutscene. A few here and there have skipped all that and started playing? (The 'colorfull'/orange screens)
They are playing a sort of demo that has been 'closed off'. Just for that demo, I believe that was confirmed a few pages back.

the first screen is part of the lore trailer recently released (showing the face of a man in the crowd).
Yeah, I'd think so.
They cut off a section of the game, polished it as best as they could for the hands-on. That can't be done for the whole game immediately.
@eunoia_evanescent Thanks I now see it yes, the recent lore trailer. Somehow I missed it on the screen of my phone and still half asleep.
The hands-on is taking place in a prologue hub, witch is about the size of the W2 and it takes 5 hours normal gameplay to finish it.
Wait what? When did this news come through...
The Prologue is a "HUB"? Fuck. Yes. I guess we don't know the details, but that makes it sound like it might not be super linear, and that sounds fantastic.

Hmm i doubt it, especially that people are playing 2-3 hours so it would be strange if they would let them to enter the main hub especially that the prolog one is already too big to fully explore it during that time, not to mention that it would be super hard to keep the spoilers off in the main map.Yes, I know that too, I read Marcin's postsbut we don't know if only the prologue hub is there or if there's more than that is what I mean.
No need too, it looks like you already got the info
We do know few things about it, like those that i wrote in previous post, not to mention that we probably know where it will be, but thats a different story.

Interesting. Hopefully it isn't 5 hours acting entirely as a tutorial, that would be nearly AssCreed-Tier.
If it is all tutorial, then at the very least I hope it is a hub based design, which allows for a much more non-linear approach & you can feel much more "free". That or it better be one damn fucking spectacular tutorial.
Since it's a hub world, well that's the amount of content there, not the amount of time you have to spend there, that's the entire point of having it as a hub.
Atleast that's what makes sense to me.

The game starts with Geralt being taken chained up to some place along with other prisoners, he says nothing and they end up at a small village, the villagefolk are scared and hurry home. Slowly each prisoner is taken to the block and executed for their crimes, then comes Geralt's turn but at that very moment the village is attacked by a dragon and you manage to escape. Now the open-world is 'unlocked' to you.

That is of course another avenue. There's many ways it could go really.
Once again I've fallen trap to running my mouth and making assumptions off very little information due to current real-life boredom but anticipation waiting for more info.
I envy anyone who's somehow able to just put the game in the back of their minds and go dark until May 19th, I wish I could.

Yeye, add on the bottom with small letters "Skyrim" or they will take it seriously, especially that the village part is probably right...
