Interview: The Witcher 3′s Game Director Discusses Story, Battle, Next Gen and Lack of Multiplayer

Giuseppe Nelva of Dualhockers.com interviews the Witcher 3's game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz on all thinks Witcher, and tries to persuade him to make a Witcher MMORPG, also fails miserably.

Why on earth would I want multiplayer in the Witcher series? Some games a great based on the story and the immersion. I'm glad KT is keeping this game the way it is suppose to be.

[Abriael]

Me too, but I admit that a completely separate witcher MMORPG would have been spiffy...

[b_one]

depends, 1vs1 mode could be ok, horde mode or survival.... cool too. BTW i sense Cirilla and Yen are finally in game, and i think something may happen to geralt, something like in last book.

[Conzul]

Indeed. Don't you hate how it's a "lack" of multiplayer now? As if it's some kind of failing on the game's part? SMH

[Abriael]

Lack in english simply means that it's not there. It's a completely neutral word. It becomes negative only when used in verbal form and by itself IE: Lacking. That's not what the headline says.

As a matter of fact, it's probably a good thing.

@Abriael

LOL, I pull the language card so frequently myself, I suppose I deserve that. :P

Edit: Though, in my defense, the word "lack" does a significantly different thing in the brain of a literate than what it does to everyone else. Effect, over essence.

[Abriael]

some kind of coop wouldn't have been bad as well. but I'm happy with SP honestly.
