The new Gameplay Trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is LIVE!

[OliverDK]

Looks like Novigrad to me.

I am just a bit confused as the PAX was set in No-mans land IIRC and unless Geralt traveled quite some time out of No-mans land to fight with the royal wyern it can only really be Oxenfurt can't it?

I don't think it's ultra, because I'm noticing a distinct lack of ubersampling that a lot of the screenshots display, but I don't think anybody who watches this trailer is going to come away worried about a downgrade anymore, myself included.

Hype Train is over 9000.

There will no ubersampling in the day of release. At least according to what Konrad Tomaszkiewcz said ( I think it was him) on polish site. The ubersampling will be a feature in some patch later, cause it would kill the perfomance ( as it was with the WItcher 2 )in May 19th. I believe it was very good decision. It will add some fresh air when it will come out later.

BTW good thing that there's Game of Thrones, GTA 5 and Mortal Kombat X in April or I don't know how esle I could handle the waiting.
And It's still not May 19th yet, so fuck off CDPR. :hatsoff:

Yeah, it's Oxenfurt I reckon.

Geralt is standing on the cliffs south of the city. It doesn't really make sense geographically to be Novigrad.

ubersampling =/= ultra settings

Two entirely different things in my books. And if you run the game on 4k ubersampling is pointless anyway...

Ubersampling does not represent the width and breadth of what ultra options cover, certainly. But when people talk about 'Ultra', they are generally talking about 'Maxxed out graphics options' which Ubersampling falls under.

The video, and all (most) of the promotional screenshots, are not in 4k, so it does in fact make a difference for the content we've been receiving.

CDPR have also explicitly stated no ultra footage prior to release. I'm simply making the case that since certain post-processing effects that are present in some of the screenshots are missing from the video, it's very likely that they haven't reversed this decision, and we are likely not seeing the game on 'Ultra' settings.

maybe...

There are two bridge towers visible nearest the cliff at one point, so it can only be Oxenfurt, seen from "The Descent" region.

Ubersampling is just another way of using downsampling. It's basically a resolution thing and so it falls into the same category as 4k for me.

"Maxxed out or ultra" usually means 1080p on ultra settings without ubersampling/DSR/downsampling imho.

Ultra in the Witcher 3 will mostly impact on grass textures and density and face textures accord to what Gamestar said.

But hey, enough of the graphical bull, let's cherish this friggin amazing trailer again! :band:

 

[Giovanni1983]

To be honest with you if what we saw is ultra i am truly amazed by it.

If what we saw is not ultra i am still truly amazed by it.

So either way i am amazed by what i saw

 

[Crivilnite]

I'm too picky or at 1:52 there's a Twilight mock?

5th view, still astonished.

Best trailer ever. Perfect music, atmosphere, narration, and scenes, the hype is almost bearable right now. But this trailer showed me that this will be as much big influence to my life as the first game was, I can feel it already, also showed me that this long wait with pain, work hard for collect money both for PC and for the actual Collector's Edition will be worth. Every single minute and penny. Thank you so much guys

 

[Scryar]

Watched the uncompressed version. The graphics are fantastic. The whole trailer is fantastic, although I'm not a big fan of the narration. But well, hardcore witcher fans are obviously not the target of this trailer. A bit surprised the Wild Hunt wasn't even mentioned.
This gave me a chill

 

[Sken]

What an amazing trailer, best Witcher 3 promo to date. Well done CDPR team, incredible work, and many thanks for showing the upgraded locations compared to the PAX footage.

This trailer will win a lot of fans.

 

[DukeAlmighty]

Good job, trailer looks great !

One thing I really want to know though - is this PC High or PC Ultra ?

 

[MaxItOut]

Fucking awesome trailer ... watched it in german, watched it in english, then again german and so on ... maaan I'm damn excited.

Anybody enlighten me if we can apply fire to our sword ? Or any combination attacks like igni+sword attack ?
Or what the Hell is this awesome fire move in aournd 3:57-4:02 ???

Well, the trailer wasn't about the overall narration in the game like - at all. It's a trailer that should show the players the opportunities in the game and how the game looks and feels in certain situations. That's why it's called a gameplay trailer and not a story/narrative trailer.

By the way, uncompressed version? From where did you get that ???

 

[Phinnway]

YAY! It's about time people who never played a Witcher game before learned what The Witcher 3 is all about! I feel like this trailer gave a good overview of the game mechanics.
