Witcher 3 News [LINKS & DISCUSSION]

[tahirahmed]

@tahirahmed , with a VPN you could buy a copy from this Brazilian retailer:

http://www.nuuvem.com.br/produto/2244-the-witcher-3-wild-hunt

It's 89,90 reais, about 30 dolars. The key activation is on GOG. And the Brazilian version isn't censored at all

Thanks

Well this means I have to cancel my preorder from GOG. I will wait a day or two before doing something because I asked GOG support about it. Hope I get a positive reply.

Hoping this will only affect the retail versions like EliHarel mentioned.

PS4 footage

Is it just me or is this video private with others?

I get this:

Everyone, I think.
I guess someone made it public earlier than they were supposed to. So we'll all need to wait patiently.

But the video is very short, If it would be 40 minutes of gameplay , good . But it is just 2 minutes.

 

[EliHarel]

Censored versions only affect the specific market, except that the "market" may include neighbouring countries if it's the same distributor. So Eliharel may be affected - I don't know. New Zealand got the Australia censored version the last time. It definitely doesn't affect the entire game.

But any more attempts to link the blood decal issue to this are definitely going to attract deletions. It's getting very close to a discussion hijack.

I was under the impression that if you purchase digitally at GOG then it'll be the same version throughout the world, regardless where you live, while only the retail version might have some things edited based on your region. I take it that isn't necessarily true?

Well, at least it would be something right? =)
To be honest I think all these 40 minutes previews are a bit of an overkill now, not that I am forced to watch them of course..

Yup. That clearly wasn't meant to be made public.

I am sorry though, but ths whole secrecy and nonsense...it's getting ridiculous.

 

[SonsOfAtlas]

So has anyone actually seen it?

 

[Moonwalker1982]

Yep. It had offscreen footage and not even close to how a real CDPR W3 video would look. But the forest was dense, looked really smooth, looked fine really.

 

[Kinley]

It was just a few seconds of footage. It looked good, hard to judge how good when compared to PC footage because it was off-screen.

 

[SonsOfAtlas]

Great, thanks! =)

 

[Moonwalker1982]

Exactly! Until a proper video from CDPR comes out, we can't really compare it. I can't wait for Gamersyde videos, cause those will show the true quality. I don't get why they seem to be hiding this stuff, cause judging from that video, there's no reason to not show it and no reason to make it private all of a sudden.

Then maybe it still has to do with certain agreements/contracts? Allthough they haven't shown any Xbox One footage recently either, which one would have expected if the lack of PS4 footage is indeed because of a deal with Microsoft.

Exactly and that's what ticks me off. Sony at least makes good use of a marketing deal, unlike MS. Sony is showing the PS4 version of Batman AK in the trailers. I was expecting the same of MS with the marketing for Witcher 3. It's cool that some journalists told us not to worry and that all is fine with X1 version, but i'd rather see and then judge for myself. Bring on next week i say.

No, not true. GOG needs to respect censorship laws of the country in which the buyer lives. (There's some very careful wording in that sentence, by the way)

A user of neogaf actually manage to make a gif out of it:

 

[EliHarel]

No, not true. GOG needs to respect censorship laws of the country in which the buyer lives. (There's some very careful wording in that sentence, by the way)

Ah. In that case, where can I find the details about regions where the game has been censored a bit?

 

[wasjo009]

if i change my location on gog will it make any difference?

 

[azrael.1289]

You guys think they will announce that GOG pre-load is live after the stream today? Two weeks before release would be the perfect time to do it to ensure servers won't crash with everyone trying to download.

 

[wichat]

If someone out from censored regions buy a copy for a gift to someone who live in regions with censored game, the copy for destinatary will still be censored?
