Vaughn interviews Stan Just, a producer from CD Projekt RED about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at this year's Gamescom
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"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
During CD Projekt’s Fiscal Year 2023 earnings call, CEO Michael Nowakowski said that the company is keen on licensing its IP rights to third-party developers to create mobile adaptations of its titles.
CD Projekt, the developer behind The Witcher/Cyberpunk 2077, has stated that there is no place for microtransactions in single-player games.
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.
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).
The monster morphing is going to be cool! We got to see it with the Werewolf in the Downwarren demo and I found out during the 'Sword of Destiny' trailer @ 2:04-2:05 slow down the play-time and you will notice the monster at the end before the CGI outro, morphs into a larger/slightly different version. Awesome stuff that IMO is "Next Gen". Real-time morphing in-game is badass.
The other thing to point out in this interview that certainly clarified one thing for me - There will definitely be multiple races/species within particular monster groups/families. Stan says " The No Man's Land race of Werewolf" around the 10:50 onward mark.
Wish this game was coming out sooner! I need my Witcher fix and this game looks like it is going to be incredible!
