Great new article interview about how the devs managed to make the open world in TW3 feel densely packed and alive. Some good information about the dev process:

This was me after reading that article. No, really.

Me fucking too man!!! Thanks Good Stuff.

 

[TheFawz]

Yeah that Siliconera piece was one of the better W3 articles yet. It actually had some cool new info.

Here's another new interview with VFX artist Jose Teixeira:

Fucking love it.

Also holy shit that entire "Botany" related question, where they really go in-depth about the Flora/Fauna and how the ecosystem plays into that ... My God... If this really does end up as it sounds, it's going to be fucking incredible.

Really, really interesting interview. Cheers.

It's sounds amazing of course, but I want to see that in action. I think there were similar articles about Skyrim ecosystem. What's left in the game is some wolf atacking a goat occasionally. Sometimes you stumble on an animal corpse. I think there's a little chance it will be as amazing as it sounds.

There's also a big chance this ecosystem will be just daily routines not some advaced Artificial Intelligence.

Forest animals could go to eat some plants but I think there's no chance they're going to eat them. Probably it will be just an animation. We would need NASA machine to compute real living ecosystem.

For me the best thing will be randomizing the daily routines (or random animal spawns). For example if I see a deer I won't see it tommorow in the same place at the same time. The same goes for NPC's

Best interview to come out of E3, hands down. Especially loved this part:

Birches in the inland, pines on the cliffs.

Birch Trees! Yes!

Loved the read. In fact after reading it I thought to myself. I'll definitely try this tactic out.

1. Kill something
2. Wait for something to appear

And let's see if I catch a monster like this heh

I've had enough of pines to last me for eternity, though...

It truly was a good article

 

[Mohasz]

Yeah, it's great but it ended rather abruptly...or is there a part 2? Anyway, I hope this whole ecosystem stuff is really something and not just some PR talk

"...whenever something dies in the world of The Witcher, its carcass will attract beasts and monsters."

So corpses won't disappear like in TW2? That's great.

Imo, I think that they still disappear but just a bit slower, probably upon leaving the area.

Of course. Monsters will eat them. :hai:

 

[Jupiter_on_Mars]

So Konrad says it's 40 times bigger than TW2.

Konrd, are you guys trolling us?
Gameworld size matters; it's a big selling point. I'm sure it's not that hard to measure the map and then send out an internal memo.

@Kinley , I thought the game was content complete by now. Anyway, now you know what's the very first question you're going to ask devs at Gamescom.

 

[Kinley]

At this point I honestly believe that even the devs don't know how big the world is. And that they're going with the flow, creating content where it is needed, without considering boundaries (as in ingame boundaries, not financial/time and the sort).

 

[mico11]

I think that they're either hiding something and it's not as big as we all think, OR which is a lot more probable it's so huge they're waiting for the right time to give exact numbers.

I think they just don't know how big it actually is and are throwing random numbers or some people are only counting the land masses.

I don't believe that they can NOT KNOW the size of the world. They have practiced answers for all the questions they thought they were gonna get, the size of the world should be somewhere at the top. So they're not giving exact numbers for some reason.
