It's not too late to go back to RED Engine guys. We can't handle much more UE slop.

 

[apocaliptic]

don't we woke please, don't be woke

It will, it will

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

If it's going to be woke than go woke with Ciri and her hot lesbian lover. I want a bunch of hot lesbian succubus and vampire chicks too. Thank you.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Massive open world with UE5 ?

Why am I feeling like we'll miss REDengine dearly..

Don't worry, it will launch for the PS5, run like shit, then have a PS6 version that is playable.

 

[zeroluck]

Will the horse simulation be half as good as red dead 2?

 

[Pagusas]

More excited about Cyberpunk 2 (Project Orion), but the quicker they get Witcher 4 done, the quicker they can move on to it

 

[ByWatterson]

don't we woke please, don't be woke

I mean I've never seen a company accused of wokeness deny it so many times.

So they clearly don't want to be seen that way.

Which is something.

 

[Rockman33]

Which is coming first, ES6 or Witcher 4?

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Which is coming first, ES6 or Witcher 4?

Please be Elder Scrolls VI,

Each Elder Scroll got me over 1,000 hours and could still go back to it and have lots of fun since it's modded. While Witcher 3 gave me around 200 hours and I don't feel like ever installing it again even if it is a good game.

 

[Z O N E]

I think I should be able to complete The Witcher 3 by then.

 

[MikeM]

So release is 6-8 years from now? Perfect for PS6 Pro!

 

[Flabagast]

Yeah, I feel like there is much more potential in the Cyberpunk IP now.

I absolutely love Witcher 3, but I fear that W4 will feel a little like "been there, done that". Not a lot of things can be done to be new and exciting in the heroic fantasy space imho. Hope they prove me wrong

 

[Bernardougf]

Badass like Geralt protagonist... pretty girls... no woke ...

Too much to ask ?

 

[mrqs]

Which is coming first, ES6 or Witcher 4?

I'd bet Witcher 4.

In comes the pronouns! guy with the steel chair. Looks like the antiwoke cant play any westernrpgs anymore. Sadface.

 

[SHA]

Well, some games get treated differently like GTA, these people aren't our friends and if it's just another game, the whole industry will collapse.

 

[Buggy Loop]

How many pronouns?! HOW MANY PRONOUNS!!!

 

[samoilaaa]

CDPR Executive confirms on live that videogames take upto 5 years to release on average from the day it is in concept, not the day its in pre/full-production​

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Fucking scroll Broke me, so! fucking bad....

 

[Rickyiez]

Geralt is a gigachad so if he’s still the MC then it’s guaranteed not to be woke.

If they switch the protag to Ciri though, 90% there will be a black woman as one of the option for companion

 

[Rocky_Balboa]

My guess is that it will be disappointing.

 

[Stu_Hart]

Release this game Day 1 with no insane bugs and glitches. I want them to show me that they have learned from that horrendous cyberpunk launch.

 

[Valedix]

Coming 2030.

 

[zkorejo]

I've got a bad feeling about this. Can't shake off the feeling this will be a fail.

It's almost like its customary. All good things must become absolute pile of dog shit.

Prove me wrong cdpr.

 

[CartesianMan]

I hope to be a good game - that's it.

 

[TheRedRiders]

It's not too late to go back to RED Engine guys. We can't handle much more UE slop.

i’m not a big fan of UE either but I imagine the engine would have matured significantly by the time of launch, and we’ll have more powerful hardware to handle it.

I’m sure CDPR developers will also be collaborating with Epic to bring new features into the engine so it should be interesting.

 

[Mozzarella]

I don't actually think it will take that long, this is an established game engine and they are working with Epic Games as well.
I think this comes out 2027 tops.

 

[Kumomeme]

It's not too late to go back to RED Engine guys. We can't handle much more UE slop.

one of CD Projekt programmer spoke about the reason why they move to UE on twitter.

Red Engine is pain in the ass that they need to rewrote the code at every project. it might be way worse for them if they return back to the engine.

 

[PeteBull]

Earliest it will come out is next gen, guys, plenty time left for us to get hyped still, lets wait year or two and see their cgi/reveal trailer so we at least know new protagonist
Edit: Ok, since we know it will be next gen, graphics wise it shouldnt look much worse from that w3 cgi trailer, so why not watch it again

 

[firegamer273]

cd project is the only western publisher left that make great rpgs. plz plz plz dont be woke .

 

[Madserb2023]

Get ready for it to run at 10fps on Unreal and look no better than the last game.

 

[gaming_again]

The global vibeshift makes me more hopeful that Wticher 4 delivers. LFG!

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I think it might be useful to write that a new Witcher book is out December 1st in Poland, in January 2025 in English. Focuses on the Geralt's younger years when he just left Kaer Morhen for the first time.

Yeah it's almost like all that hard work they put into RED Engine paid off and was worth it. This is pure cost cutting from new executives.

 

[Fbh]

CDPR please remember.
IF you intend to release the game on Ps5/SX actually design the game to run properly on these consoles.
Otherwise just skip them, go all in on next gen and position your game as the must play title for everyone upgrading to a next gen console

Don't pull another Cyberpunk.

Physical version will launch this Friday actually. December 1st launch is for ebooks

 

[Nickolaidas]

Can't wait to never play it.

 

[48086]

Can't wait to see what Sweet Baby cooks up! Hopefully, all women look like men in order to combat the male gaze.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Meh…How many years till Cyberpunk.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I wonder what the development team looks like this time

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Veilguard
Avowed
Up next: Witcher

 

[ADiTAR]

I just want an option for a short to the point conversations, or the ability to 1.5X them. At some point early i just couldn't listen to the blabber anymore and skipped it all.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

I wonder what the development team looks like this time

Safe to say that bald white men who love programming and fantasy roleplaying will increasingly be replaced by danger hairs who love politics and controlling things that other people care about

 

[PeteBull]

cd project is the only western publisher left that make great rpgs. plz plz plz dont be woke .

They are based here in Poland, so dunno if u can call us the west, our salaries are roughly 5x lower vs western ones, in corpos tho, it started to look very western alike in recent years(tons of feminism, political correctness and all that nasty shit west is plagued with), especially after 2020.
Not saying to lose all hope, but be smart about trailers and dont preorder, game could turn out amazing or mediocre at best, especially at launch where u can be sure game gonna have bad performance and be buggy as hell

 

[YeulEmeralda]

They are doing a remake of Witcher 1 no? That would be a good bellwether for wokeness because you could bang every female.

 

[CrustyBritches]

TW3 is my favorite game ever, but I think they'll falter with this game.
