i hope they manage to improve the gameplay though, because if you didn't get sucked into the witcher 3's quests that kept distracting you every few seconds as you wandered the map, you would notice that there's not much interactivity with the world, and how settlements/cities all feel kinda dead and are basically just signboards you get and turn in quests to

UE is terrible, though. UE went from leading in PQ to drowning in ugly screen space effects. I’m really not sure which is worse at this point.


Killing Floor 1 which uses UE 2.5 (released in November 2005) probably still stutters at the forrest maps regardless of your GPU.

It seems that stutterfest is a feature no matter how pretty new version happens to be.

Given the current state of CDPR, the changing of staff as well as engine this could result in an absolute shitshow. Either way my expectations are low as far as gameplay and story goes.

Just like with Cyberpunk this thread may be more entertaining than the game itself...

Haha indeed, that's the only reasonable approach at this point. The time for expectations is over, bring on the perpetually flaming trash can of drama!
Though I can't deny that the transition from to does hurt a bit.

I'm hoping by the time Witcher 4 is released, Cyberpunk will be fixed as well Laughing

Now let's see how much they hate us after Cyberpunk shittery. The more they hate us the less they will care about customer satisfaction, like EA, Activision etc. They probably know Cyberpunk wasn't as good as it should have been, but i bet they hate us anyway Very Happy

Nahh i doubt it'll be the same. Cyberpunk was different than anything and they clearly failed to decide on a direction for it, also the scope was much larger in the beginning. And here we are after reboots, people getting tired of waiting and complaining loudly (understanably) and naturally developers who are tired of it also and want it out of the door. I mean who wouldn't after developing that shitshow over that many years.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2022-03-23-cd-projekts-new-witcher-game-director-speaks-out-on-crunch

Quote:
This week, with its new The Witcher project now public, CD Projekt veteran Jason Slama announced he would serve as the project's game director.

"I am super thrilled to announce that I have humbly been working to ensure the success of the next big AAA The Witcher game as its Game Director!" Slama wrote. "Think you could join the team? We have tons of roles open with the possibility of remote work we could discuss!"

One response to this suggested Slama had forgotten to mention "horrible crunch and being treated like a dog".

Slama then responded: "Never on my watch!"

Ya i guess tried to do too much in one go with Cyberpunk, they could have reduced scope and gone with a semi-linear fps with great graphics, then tried the openworld thing Cyberpunk2. Meh whats done is done.


I would have much preferred a fleshed out "area" to explore ala the OG Deus Ex, hell even the way the Terminator game does it is fine, I don't need to walk across the map passing shit I can't interact with and adds nothing to the game, just give me an area big enough to fuck around with and then that's that.

I still find it very odd how much people care about crunch (or pretend to care), more so when it comes to the video game industry, as if it's some special case Confused

Someone is butthurted about EGS? What is with the title of this thread? Laughing

And about the crunch, it is not like software developers don't have plenty of job offers to choose from in Poland (and for good money in that matter). As far as I know all of this crunch is just paid overtime (that is the labor law in Poland) so it is mutual agreed stuff between employee and employer.

I'm assuming it is bunch of crybabies that don't know how to be assertive against their bosses so they go to jurnos to complain.

And just to be clear, I'm talking only about Poland, not sure how it looks in other countries.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2022-03-24-how-the-witchers-school-of-the-lynx-fan-authors-came-up-with-new-lore


Quote:
Earlier this week, The Witcher devs confirmed what was previously only suspected - the mysterious medallion half hidden and buried in the snow in CD Projekt Red's recent Witcher announcement is indeed that of a Lynx.

However, before this confirmation, the School of the Lynx only ever existed in fan fiction. But it would now appear that CDPR was inspired by its Witcher community, and as a result is building this new school into its video game series.

So, we have an idea of how CDPR came up with its version of School of the Lynx, but what about the fan fiction project's creators themselves?

Nonsense. Bunch of side missions, characters, even expansions in TW3, doesn't appear in the books, as one of its greatest side-quests, the Bloody Baron. So no biggie for CD Projekt in that regard

Bad Fan fiction that of the Netflix series, ha ha

remember now that the games were only fanfiction to begin with. They only got the idea from the community, now the entirety of the game.
