What we learned about The Witcher 4 from speaking to CD Projekt Red

Eurogamer: "In more than a year of conversations with CD Projekt, Eurogamer has picked up a few hints at what we can expect for The Witcher 4 and its reveal."

I expect it to be a buggy mess at launch
I also expect them to under deliver what they'll promise to do

That's the thing I will never understand. They may have fixed all the issues Cyberpunk had at launch, and thru a major update they tweaked a few things but it is now only a much stabler version of what they originally released and nothing else. They over promised a bunch of features that did not make it into the game, non of which ever will be patched into it either. And yet people ate up the patches as if they were given the game they were sold on by all the promises of what it was going to be and never was. All they did was fix what shouldn't have been that broken in the first place. Blows my mind how easily people just let things slide.

***They over promised a bunch of features that did not make it into the game***

I mean, they literally sold stuff and then told us before release that they changed things so it wouldn't be included at launch.

Like when they added the metro as if it was new content even though it was in the trailer.

I just hope the combat is better

[savedsynner]

Starting from witcher 1 thru 3, each game has improved on it's combat. Witcher 3 doesn't have all time great combat like an Elden Ring, but it is definitely a fun combat system.
I expect the next game to continue this improvement trend.

That said, none of CDPR's games are known for their combat first. Their most recent, CP2077, while it has pretty good FPS combat, it's by no means amazing.

Also, given the disaster that was CDPR on launch, I'll bet they will let W4 bake as long as is necessary for it to be awesome on launch.

I have my fingers crossed it all goes well.

Witcher 4, cyberpunk 2, why even talk about these titles since they're years from release 🤣 I keep seeing articles about red dead 3 too. Smh atleast bring up games that come.out late 2025, that's more bearable

[savedsynner]

I tend to agree. They're just click-baity articles or for people who have to have all info on a p[articular game...wake me up when we get gameplay footage!

[jznrpg]

If I was them I’d take the humble approach and say we are trying to learn from our past mistakes and make the best game we can and that is it.

[gold_drake]

not holding my breath.

their games have been buggy messes.

[babadivad]

It's gonna be shit.

It's using UE5 or I like to call it Stutter Engine 5, there will be problems with the PC version at launch, I can already see that. Good job picking the best game engine, dumb asses.
