The Witcher 3 Interview – New Details on its Origins, Gameplay, “Hand-Holding” | Analog Addiction

Analog Addiction:

"Ever since its reveal, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has won over 55 awards, so it comes as a no surprise that CD Projekt RED’s upcoming role-playing-game is one of the most anticipated next generation titles of this year, and certainly the most anticipated RPG in a long time.

Analog Addiction has caught up with the studio behind Wild Hunt, in order to talk more about the game’s objectives, back-story, gameplay, and more. Let’s get started."

"over 100 hours of gameplay (50 hours of the main story arc and about 50 hours’ worth of side quests)"

"The Witcher 3 is 35 times bigger than The Witcher 2"

Bahhhh just give it here!!

[webeblazing]

this line is an instant clssic and a lot of devs and pub should take notes.

"We decided that one of the key elements of a good story is for the story to have a clear cut ending. No cliffhangers, no milking the community for yet-another-game-in-the-franch ise. A beginning, a middle and an end, that’s our vision of how proper storytelling should look like."

How can a game reveal win 55 awards?

[Captain_Mushroom]

"Ever since" doesn't mean that it actually won something right when it got announced.

[SteamPowered]

I just think its crazy a game can win any award without actually being playable. Unless you count "best in show" "most anticipated" aaand, thats really all I could think of. 2 categories. Im not saying Witcher isnt worthy of the praise, Im just surprised so many awards can be given out so soon.

[Irishguy95]

That's all it's won SteamPowered. The game has been shown to journos behind closed doors at E3 and stuff. Titanfall, Destiny and the witcher 3 have been winning a crap load of best of show awards. Everyone who see's this gameplay demo of W3 seems to come out saying the same thing. It's going to be one of the best games of the year, at the very least of the year.

[Captain_Mushroom]

Oh, yeah, that's what I meant. The awards are for "Best of E3," "Most Anticipated" and so on.

[ShiftShock]

I'm not usually an RPG fan, but I am most certainly picking up this one.

[DaleCooper]

I feel the same way, the game is looking and sounding like it's going to be great.

[BABY-JEDI]

I've never played a Witcher game (don't cry). But I'm really looking forward to this. Hopefully, when it's a success on the PS4, we will get the earlier games released.
