PS4 Patch The Witcher 3 Won’t Arrive This Week; Dev Collecting Everything Community Reports

CD Projekt Red's community and website coordinator Marcin Momot confirms that the patch that would fix the frame-rate on the PS4 won't arrive this week. Aside from a frame-rate fix the patch will adress as much as the team can. The developer is listening to everything the community is reporting.

Now this is how all devs should be.

Palitera3262d ago (Edited 3262d ago )

This?

Bloating about how perfect, polished and finished their game is, how different and better they are as devs, and then releasing it with severe frame rate instability, stuttering, unreadably small text, a PC UI on console, crashes on Gwent etc.?

These are ALL issues that were obviously present on the game very clearly, not something that needed to be played a million times to happen.

Gamers really deserve what they get.

Genuine-User3262d ago (Edited 3262d ago )

It is most definitely the most polished RPG of it's size and grandeur in recent times.

Frame-rate issues are a natural part of any open world game on consoles, I'm sure they'll be patch further optimisations.

UI is fine in comparison to other popular PC centric RPG's, font size however should be given another look.

CDPR are among the most consumer friend developers of our time, your standard addition nets you 16 free DLC, physical OST and a huge paper-based colour map.

And a thank you note for spending our hard earned cash.

What he said

Not to mention all the DLC you get and the goodies,it's insane i haven't seen this level of appreciation from any dev,unless you spend $100+.I think it's fair to help them ironing issues out.

*My advice get the boxed version,you'll have access to the GOG files as well.

harbie3262d ago

That takes forever. Multiple, more rapid patches would have made more sense. They are just saving $$ on 1patch rather than multiple Sony QA & bandwidth patch costs.

tamarkovia3262d ago

I mentioned this last week, on another article that I thought ps4, which I have, had tearing and issues. And all the ps4 fan boys dissed me.

Dyldog693262d ago (Edited 3262d ago )

This is why you hire testers. The "community" is paying CDPR to do their job for them

Gwiz3262d ago

Take your time,i rather have as many things fixed possible.
It's not an ideal situation,but it's an active connection between
developers and their userbase,HOOZAH!!.

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave21d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

MP games need micros to keep the lights on. Path of Exile is a good game with micros. It can be done as long is the game is not the scheme itself.

CrimsonWing6926d ago (Edited 26d ago )

You end up paying more than $70 in micros for a game specifically designed around them and that’s not a “scheme” by design?

I’ve played plenty of great MP games that didn’t have micros. I love how at one point we were like micros bad, GaaS bad, and now we’re like, well GaaS is MP so it’s ok.

anast25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Path is a free game. How else are they supposed to keep the servers on? You don't need up spending more . I've been playing the game since the beginning and I've spent less than $20.

Destiny on the other hand....

An MP game embedded in a SP game shouldn't have them.

I know you understand this. I have to be optimistic here.

CrimsonWing6925d ago

@anast

I’d argue “free to play” are more egregious than just a traditional pay to play game. You end up spending far more on a game than just $70 and I think the “free” games are sneaky by design to make a consumer think “well, it’s free, let me dump money into it.” I mean, they’re specifically designed to make you continuously put money into them. I heard with Path of Exile you hit a point where the grind is obnoxious without buying micros.

lucian22925d ago

Odd, I remember micro transactions for Witcher 3

CrimsonWing6925d ago

What micro-transactions do you remember being in Witcher 3?

FinalFantasyFanatic25d ago

I agree, I never pay for microtransactions, and in the few cases where I have, I've felt dirty afterwards, especially when older games used to give you so much content for free (like cosmetics).
