The Witcher 3 2014 trailer

Wow. Just wow ! I keep watching this trailer and the camera angles from combat it shows, I just get like totally amazed.
That's actually the game I thought TW3 would have been. Seriously, it is totally amazing. Look at this ! Look at this !
Can we have this game ?

Look at those combat angles. Mind blowing. Sorry about the blury quality, I took the pics directly from the video.

This final one, the werewolf jumping at Geralt, this is so good.

oh its this discussion again ....

Omg just let it fucking go. We don't want to hear it. If you don't like the game don't play it. We do and we are tired of this shit.

The forum is open for discussion. Not for bad mouthing.

Some of these 'scenes' are from the E3 concept footage and they contain graphics technologies that ended up not being part of the final build (such as NVidia's 'forward lit particles' which you can see in the smoke above the flaming village where the King of the Wild Hunt is shown).

While I personally have moved on from it, there still remains a controversy as to why these things were "taken off the table", as it were...

Get over it. That trailer is not running in real-time. Either accept Witcher 3 as is or go cry on r/pcmasterrace about how CDPR "betrayed" you and you'll never buy another game from them again. Or at least until Cyberpunk 2077 is released where you'll start the cycle all over again.

As you can see we are tired of discussing it. It's been beaten over and over on this forum. Some concepts from development didn't make it into the game. End of discussion.

Some of those pics actually look ingame, you can see Geralt's pacing and stuff, drawing his sword.

Because CDPR started building the game before next-gen console dev kits were released. So they had to scale things back because without the consoles Witcher 3 would not exist. Even then the majority of PC players use toasters so they wouldnt be able to run that build of the game anyway. Plus what you see there is isolated sections of the game before CDPR tried to get them to work as one big open-world, which apparently almost melted their computers when they attempted it.

The PS4 was released in 2013. The game footage is from 2014. If that was the case they would already be showing the footage from consoles, which are the final one, when the game was totally changed. My PC isn't a toaster. It's good.

---------- Updated at 06:49 PM ----------

Also when a console is released the dev kit is sent to developers a year before, because the console must be released with games. Applying basic math to it, CDPR must have got hold of PS4 Dev Kit around Dec. 2012. Which makes sense. You don't develop an open world game in a couple months, even for consoles.

He's probably just found out about the graphic change lol. The short version is CDPR decided to use one build for all platforms, they can't afford to maintain 3 different builds, not enough time and people, there is also aftersales with bugfixing, expansions, and dunno what else in the future. If bigger companies can't pull that off, let alone CDPR. They're simply too ambitious which isn't a bad thing, we know what they're capable of.

I wonder why they canned Yennefer's original model. Maybe she didn't look arrogant enough or something.

She's created based on a real person, Eva Beauregard, it's mentioned in an interview I forgot which one. Dunno what's the exact reason for the change though, perhaps like you said, her model fits perfectly with the role.

Hmm.. But why show up a footage which you are not going to use in the final game ? They had time to decide that, considering they must have worked on the console versions since 2013 and the footage is from june 2014. Isn't that misleading marketing ? Wow.... You just made me realize they have fooled people. =O

That is just a trailer, a trailer always looks best, it happens in other stuffs not only games, see McDonald advertisement, the hamburgers or the chicken or the french fries look perfectly colored and fried and shiny, but the real things don't look like that ;D

That's just advertisement thing which is common and not meant for deceiving people.

Hmmmm. I don't know about that. This reminds of that whole thing with that Dogs game from Ubisoft. Everyone jumped at them. Why is everyone accepting this ? Urgh... My stomach is rolling... I feel cheated ! No bro... Something's wrong... I'm speechless. Gotta think.

The thing with Watch Dogs was that the visuals shown in that E3 presentation you're referencing were actually still in the game and could be activated by a mod. With Witcher 3 I would assume that to be impossible because they actually changed the assets.
