MULTI The Witcher III Wild Hunt - Free Next-Gen update releasing Dec 14th, 2022

[Necrokiller]

That doesn't equate to a generational leap at all

I'd love to hear you say that a year on from now. Rest assured fully dynamic and real-time lighting would be the biggest upgrade for console exclusive developers next-gen (lmao)

 

[Shyber]

Needs to be posted again for the X360 gamers hoping for a port
I don't see why they wouldn't announce it for current gen consoles if they plan to release the game on them.

Even though I myself would like to see a next gen version, but if the engine is scalable, they SHOULD release current gen console ports. That's where they'll make most of their money.

As long as we get exclusive quality games, that don't entirely focus on graphics like Crysis 3 and ACTUALLY offer amazing gameplay and presentation; i don't mind at all

Besides, i can hardly wait to see next generation exclusive first party IPs. It will be a sight to behold, that's for sure

Unfortunately for you that is meaningless in determining which is the better technology. As if everyone is concerned with what you mind or do not mind. The blind fanboyism is very obvious here

 

[Geralt of Rivia]

The Witcher 3 is the epic conclusion of Geralt's adventures

They really haven't announced it for any specific platforms, they just say PC and top of the line consoles, there's only two top of the line consoles out right now

 

[DesiNinja]

Niiiice, this makes me want to play the series from the start!

ON DOWNLOAD

So PC is a given

This is not the same engine as the one they used for Witcher 2 on X360. With the upgraded RED Engine 3, and given the scale of the game, and also the fact that they did not outright say X360 and/or PS3, its highly unlikely that this would be ported to current gen consoles. 'All high-end platforms' and 'modern hardware' is likely pointing to next-gen consoles who's names aren't officially announced yet.

Even though i don't give a crap about it coming to current gen consoles; it will be truly glorious to see this (lmao) (lmao)

Glorious to see what exactly?

Glorious to see what exactly?

Just the reactions of some of the so called fanboys here

More like meltdowns and denials

Your anticipation of seeing other people meltdowns have left you in an awkward position. The game is not yet announced for consoles.

Who is in the middle of a meltdown at this point?? haha

It is announced for consoles, they just haven't said which ones.

 

[Journeys End]

^^the exact wording were "next-gen consoles"...i say say its coming for both next-box and ps4

Coming out on "all top-of-the-line" consoles - I'd say that confirms next-gen is in.

 

[Spiderman3000]

Those screens really dont look anything special for a "next gen" console game

 

[amaga]

Doesn't exactly look next gen at all :|

Probably the current gen port

oho,its for Next Gen yaar

Spoiler: show

for Wii U :lol:

 

[Necrokiller]

Glorious to see what exactly?

Even with the considerably less rate of piracy on X360, majority of the sales for Witcher 2 were made on PC even before the X360 version was released. I don't see how their next game selling more on consoles would affect the people that will be playing its best version either way

Or maybe he'll just be bragging on the expense of people who will actually buy the game legit

Witcher 2 sold more on PC than Xbox360? I didn know.

I really think CDPR shouldn't have released those screenshots yet.
Sure, The Witcher 2 is still a great looking game but they are talking about the Red Engine 3 here. It HAS to impress just like The Witcher 2 did after the original Witcher.

It's like Valve releasing a screenshot of Half-Life 3 on Source instead of Source 2.

Eventually it will look a lot better but they promised a new engine, so the expected jump is much higher.
