Don't forget, Doug Cockle said that he started doing voiceover for the wticher 6 months before the release of the second game.revieced said:
As I've said in numerous threads before: It's gonna be after E3. If The Witcher 2's marketing campaign is anything to go by, they'll have hands-on demonstrations of the game at expos throughout 2014. The biggest one is E3 where the behind-closed-doors presentation was very well recieved in 2013.
That's North America done. Then there's GamesCom in Europe. Tokyo Game Show for Asia and maybe even Pax Australia for the Witchers down under. If you want a hint on when the game is releasing: Check CDPR's expo schedule.

I like the way you are thinking.dragonbird said:3 September at 6.09 pm. Polish time. Obviously
maybe there were inspirated for some awesome new side questsKisaLuuk said:
or they mean first chapter (i only red the first because a geramn fan translation was posted here) the little girl this is loking at geralt OH maybe she is going to be big role maybe she is an elder blood (because of geralt her parents got killed)
maybe she will get a dryade (english name?) and at the end she will kill geralt by accident.
"Geralt is absconding from the wild hunt in the Brokilon and the dryade will shot him just because he passed the river."
that would be an unexpected ending.
Let's see whether they release anything significant in the forthcoming months, i, e, extensive gameplay footage. If not, then postponement is probably on the horizon.
No problem.gregski said:About that - I started reading the book 2 days ago and I already noticed something that might cause some trouble in one of the character's models.
Dandelion is blonde
Blond hair gets darker with age, and he is over 50.
As far as I know Triss' hair color in the books is different from the one in the game as well and that doesn't seem to be a problem. Even if it wasn't different then oh well... remember that witcher games are just a "fan fiction"gregski said:About that - I started reading the book 2 days ago and I already noticed something that might cause some trouble in one of the character's models.

Wrong. Amazon is reliable when it puts up a release date and starts taking pre-orders. Granted, in the cases I've followed the developer has already officially announced the release date, but still. Amazon does not just randomly start soliciting pre-orders for games without communication from the developer/publisher. The fact that they quickly changed the release date to an obvious placeholder (Dec 31st 2014) while still accepting pre-orders lends credibility to the first date, or at least the time frame.GuyN said:
That is only because they have, for whatever reason, decided not to sustain the hype they generated at E3 2013. We are six months out from E3 and the relatively polished state of their game in pre-Alpha at that point seemed better than many late-Beta or even Released games nowadays. The reluctance to release a polished gameplay demo publically is not for lack of ability, it is part of their lackluster PR strategy.GuyN said:
By the way, nine months from your post is...October 1st 2014, one day off from the initial Amazon date of September 30th 2014. You say Amazon's date has no credibility or believability whatsoever but then say the GA could be as early as the first of October, one day later. Awesome deductive work, Ace.
No; there have been plenty of testimonies to Amazon being entirely unreliable when it comes to otherwise-unannounced release dates on preorders.
And are we supposed to give greater credibility to their unfounded Sept 30 date or their unfounded Dec 31 date?
I saw no evidence that the game was in anything like a polished state. A state in which intriguing facets of the game could be shown -- but polished, as in almost ready for beta? Not even remotely.
All that points to a minimum, not a 50% or even a 10% confidence of nine months from GA, which is later than Sept 30 and probably at least a month later. And I'm one of the world's worst over-optimistic estimators.

I still say late November at earliest, and perhaps a delay to early 2015. I don't want them rushing this. Release the game when it's ready, don't release a beta and then patch it later. This has become a thing now with certain devs.
Whatever, for my own judgement of Amazon's reliability I use my experience over the testimonials of others.GuyN said:
Are you really suggesting Sept 30th is as unlikely as Dec 31st? Do I really need to spell it out for you? Fine: Dec 31st is six days after Christmas, meaning they would have completely missed the holiday buying season. Not to mention that is when people are sobering up to all they money they have spent and the last thing they want to do is spend more. Here's another one: When have you ever heard of big AAA games releasing on Dec 31st? There's plenty more reasons, but I think even you should be able to get the picture.
Then you are blind. It was clear from the reaction of the gaming media that wrote about the demo that they were impressed at the polish of the game even so relatively early in its development cycle. Not to mention from the little gameplay snippets the public have been graced with that it is easy to tell the game is very much in a presentable state.
You blasted Amazon's Sept 30th as completely unbelievable but then in effect said that a single day later is at least possible for the GA. My point stands.
Maybe I am guilty of using words such as "unfounded" in a sense that others take to mean "false", but that is not so.
We likewise have no foundation for believing that "Lizzie Borden took an axe", and a jury had to acquit her because they did not, but we're damn sure she did.
When I said that Amazon's date of September 30 was unfounded, I meant that and only that. Nobody at Amazon or anywhere else had that date from any credible source. CDPR themselves disclaimed it. Nothing about that makes it less likely that the game will be released on September 30, but Amazon's unfounded publication and later change of that date means it is not evidence of anything at all.
It would be ridiculous to say it was wrong, and I did not say it was wrong. I still expect the game to be out close to that date, more likely later than sooner, for reasons I gave.

This topic really reminds me that it is wise to expect the worst and hope (a little) for the best. I would love to see TW3 in 2014 but the lack of footage and flow of information makes me believe that 2015 is extremely likely. The very short bits of footage released thus far look great, but you can not say that the game is polished based on not even two minutes. I can honestly not believe that their PR strategy is this bad.
