Quote:
The Witcher IV is a single-player, open-world RPG from CD PROJEKT RED. At the start of a new saga, players take on the role of Ciri and embark on a journey through a brutal dark fantasy world. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, it aims to be the most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game to date.
Quote:
The trailer is pre-rendered in a custom build of Unreal Engine 5 on an unannounced NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU. Powered by the same tech that The Witcher IV is built on, using assets and models from the game itself, it aims to provide players with a cinematic look at the kind of experience the game is aspiring to provide. The trailer was created through a close collaboration between CD PROJEKT RED and Platige Image, who are no strangers to The Witcher universe, having been responsible for intro cinematics in the previous installments of the series.

“She's actually about to become the Witcher,” Kalemba explained. “She's about to actually form her own codex, but on her own terms. The way she actually deals with the monsters, the way she deals with quests, the adventures, it's her own unique way. And also I think that she gives more room to be able to tell different stories here and there. Of course, we want to give the opportunity for the player to explore more nuance because this is what we do. But she deserves that.”
Both Mitręga and Kalemba acknowledged a potential backlash from some corners of the internet at Ciri’s role as protagonist in The Witcher 4, but both insisted Ciri was always going to be the game’s main character.
“There was an intention behind this choice,” Kalemba said. “It was far from roulette. It wasn't random. I remember we had discussions nine years ago, we were talking about who's next? The very, very instant answer was Ciri. There are many reasons behind that. We've already mentioned a few. But she really deserves a stage and we want players to really experience her story because she has so much to tell, so much to prove. The amount of challenges that are in front of her give us so much amazing energy and fuel to create an epic saga that we had no choice but to go with it. We all felt that this is the way. I believe this is the super right choice.”
The only thing is... I hated her combat style compared to Geralt's
Honestly I'm a bit disappointed. Knew the obvious pick would be Ciri as main protagonist but I secretly hoped we will get a "create your own Witcher" kinda thing which would be pretty innovative idea. Still somewhat hyped but definetly not like I was for W3 which didn't disappoint from announcement till now (played so many times). Will wait to see gameplay.
What if she became empress? Even if she became a witcher, she cannot use elixirs, since she did not go through the mutation process. Why is she fighting like this? Why is she using witcher signs? Isn't she a teleporting dimension hopping ubergodlike mage? This makes very little sense.
In before Stormwolf comes to this thread with his anti-woke bullshit because Ciri looks like the main protagonist
Also... FUCKING HYPE!!!!
Side comment, video footage taken with "unreleased RTX" card
I'm not Stormwolf but I'll bite: Ciri looks like a mayun, baby!
The biggest problem I have with this is IF this is the game developed by the Boston studio, filled with (your?) fellow 'murican woke and trannie developers that will irreparibly ruin the game.
IF it's from the "old" studio, then even with the woke and trannie kurwa influences there's a chance it might be OK.

Well it was obvious she's made manlier. But that might simply be because they want her to look like a fearsome warrior. I kinda get it. Though i'll change my mind if she's suddenly lesbian also
No Geralt is highly disappointing . I understand W3 doesn't have a canon ending, but for me, Ciri becoming empress was perfectly fitting both her and Geralt (and emotional too, Geralt being the father figure having to let his grown up daughter go and make her own choices. It's basically the entire arc of their relationship throughout both the game ànd books coming to a satisfying conclusion), so it doesn't really make much sense either.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

at the time it didn't, but now obviously the canon ending for ciri is to se off to become a witcher
but is this an alternative timeline of some sort? Ciri never went through the Trials, the witcher potions would be potentially lethal to her because of this...
She probably has her own potions; it's easy to justify any change when you separate her from the strict principles of being a Witcher (as we knew Geralt to be):

I always considered the ending where she becomes a Witcher to be canon, it seemed like the best one you could get, by allowing her to be who she wanted

According to this article, she went through mutation process and it might be part of the story on how that happened: LINK

Looking good but as always, full CGI does not reveal much. Some highly insecure comments aside, with Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk they really deserve a lot of good will imo.

Fuck these female protagonists, totally ruins immersion, by far the worst parts of TW3.
Are you attracted to male bodies that much? Get that checked out w0kém0n

Good will because of cyberpunk?
If someone fucks something up they dont deserve goodwill if they fix it.
It should have been good out of the box.
I can't remember one single CDPR title that delivered at release. They all needed an enhanced edition to become actually good. So I don't care. I can wait. I enjoyed all their games.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
Yea well, at least they're rid of that janky engine of theirs
I'll give them the benefit of doubt after so many bangers and honestly outright making Cyberpunk an absolutely fantastic game, masterpiece in my opinion, even if it took years of patches and an expansion pack.
Going for a solid engine right out the gate where they only have to be mindful of traversal and shader stutters (which ue 5.2 or 5.3 fixed?) should allow them to develop more smoothly
mind you we're a talking about a game that is still 3-4 years off at least
Name one unreal 5 game that's not a poorly optimized, blurry and stutter-y mess. The fact they switched to it is one of the worst things about their games now.

Witcher 1 and 3 were fine at release.
Sure Witcher 3 was improved afterwards, but the game was all the hype when released.
