Care to share more? I'm curious.
That's really cool and interesting. I love this idea, and I would be totally fine if that's what CDPR ended up doing. (I still deeply care for very advanced heavy customization of V's body/clothing/house/vehicles/weapons of course!) but it doesn't bother me in the least bit if they also want to include SOME Third person stuff too, but only if it feels right. If they want to go 100% First person, but theres some special key areas where there is third person because the believe perspective is important to the immersion or the story, so important that it's worth temporarily breaking the immersion gained by the first person perspective, then I would be okay with that. It would mean though, that it was really beautiful and very deep and there was a very good reason for it. I think a game that did this excellently, probably the game that did it better than any other game I have ever played was "MAFIA 1". Not in terms of first or third, but in terms of scene transition.It’s a personal preference. The game would be better off with as few cutscenes as possible by default anyway (zero would be golden). And since they’ve been so adamant about keeping the game in FPP for whatever they mean with ”immersion” and ”narrative reasons”, they shouldn’t break the flow with unnecessary out of character cinematics either. They’re pointless and add really nothing to the game - or, nothing that couldn’t be achieved with an ”in-game” occurence from the chosen perspective.
(I think they should ditch 3rd person driving too)
It's interesting to call people out for drawing conclusions that things about the game will go wrong or not be good from what we know about it and have seen of it, then end on drawing the conclusion that the game "will be the bomb". Is this one of those cases of "no bad thoughts allowed, only happy thoughts"?Stay cool people, this is the maker of The Witcher and Mike Pondsminth, a real gaming oldschool innovator and OG. Its not EA or Pethesda.
This game will be the bomb.
-Yet it's difficult for me to not wonder what ramifications this will have on future iterations. With the success of Witcher 3, CDPR has massively grown. Most all of the major players in video gaming have changed (IMO for the worse) with this live service or multiplayer model. Yet I can't really blame them as businesses.
-I don't think it's too much of a stretch to imagine CDPR doing the same a release or two from now.

That's all well and good, and you may even be right about them, but think about this; can you name one developer/publisher that started out evil, soulless, anti-consumer, garbage tier or all the aforementioned? They all start out good, wanting to produce fun titles for gamers or even works of art...it's later that for whatever reason, they lose their way.I think that as long as CDPR continues to be the people who are not those who have changed for the worst, CDPR will always have the respect and the support of their fans/community. The very reason(s) CDPR is successful are:
1. They're very honest
2. They're VERY HONEST
3. They have souls. They have a conscience. CDPR actually seems to feel bad/dislike the idea of "screwing over" their customers or milking them for every penny, because CDPR actually cares about us. This strongly reflects in the whole entire philosophical motives and guidelines on how they run gog.com and how their games are made and how the DLC works and everything.
4. They're generous in how they make their fans feel loved and happy. They make amazing products and they're fair and just so good in every way that it never hurts as a customer or a fan to go an support them. I never feel the sense of doubt or apprehensiveness that I did when I used to buy video games from... other... corporations.... That sense of physical pain and psychological dread manifesting inside my wallet, simply does not happen when I'm going for a game made my CDPR, because I know that It's not a waste. I know I'm not being played as a fool.
I could go on and on listing good things about CDPR. The main and most simple point is that they're GOOD. They're the complete opposite in every single way to everything that is so bitter and totally not worth it about so many other things out there. CDPR knows the difference, and I think they're going to always keep their special place atop the mountain of righteousness because to be honest, I don't see any others rushing to try and climb it...
God bless CDPR. (regardless of religion or not)

Fun fact #1 for the younger crowd: Even EA and Activision used to be "the good guys" and their games used to be the ones you trusted just because their name was on the game case.
Fun fact #2 for the younger crowd: See, video games used to come on these things called disks (or discs) and those came in these plastic things call "cases". We weren't always able to just download them...what wondrous times we live in now.
Where did you read that? It certainly wasn't in anything you quoted. There's the suggestion that many companies started with good consumer faith like CDPR and then ended up where they are now.Are you trying to say to us, that from your past experiences with CDPR that you have reason to believe they may have turned EA level evil between the witcher 3 and now?

I mean, pre-Fallout 4 Bethesda were supposedly the "good" guys. Only took a few years to reach the level of negativity that they're at now. It's entirely possible that the same happens to CDPR as well, but no one is saying that is what has or will happened.
Seriously. People are losing their marbles over something the company is saying at the beginning of the Video are placeholders. This just goes to show how much BS the gaming industry has exposed people to in the past, so that we are now seeing people jump to conclusions and be this viciously precautious about another potential bad investment / letdown.

But if you're warning people not to jump to conclusions that something might go wrong, you might want to heed that suggestion when it comes to humping to the conclusion everything will go right.
If they announce something and they get a lot of feedback that an announcement is liked (or not) then that gives them a valuable opportunity for course correction.
For example: CDPR reacted very quickly to the NA region not having a physical boxed PC CE and fixed it. FULL CREDIT AND KUDOS.

You can though lolI'm still cut that we can't buy apartments / move up in the world.
Regardless, even if it has or hasn't got the stuff we are all crying about it could still suck balls or be an amazing game.
(Apart from not having a customizable penthouse with neon codpiece change room, viewable in the third person, in which case i'm not buying the game)
