Thread 723624854

Let's be real. Ciri-chan's game looks really great and is probably The Game to be hyped for in the coming years.

>>723624854 (OP)
The game will be broken on release and it will be playable and actually enjoyable 2 years after like every cd projekt game so far.
With that said play cyberpunk if you haven't, you can get past the menu without crashing now and it's a solid game

this will be the first game to be upscaled from less than 360p on consoles

>>723625045
this. I waited to play Trannypunk until four years after release, with a thousand bugs fixed and excellent DLC its justified.
same will apply to Witcher 4 , 100% guranteed

>>723624854 (OP)
Eh, it'll be fine. I would've preferred the game with character creation, say about a sorcerer(-ess), but what can you do.

>>723624854 (OP)
>more overt slavic culture
Couldnt they do something DIFFERENT

I'm not giving wokeprojekt any money
also prepare for downgrade like with witcher 3

>>723625117
I dunno bro, it's fair to say the console versions will be upscaled blur-slop, especially if they really reach the 60 FPS on base PS5 goal, but the optimizations they do along the way should help PCs a lot, to avoid blur-slopping.

>>723624854 (OP)
CDPR abandoning their own engine and switching to UE5 can only mean bad things. they can now hire crappy devs who have it on their resume. slop incoming

Meh. I'll pass.

>>723624854 (OP)
personally these graphics all start to look the same to me, I can't get excited over this. This is doing nothing for gameplay, it will still be full of generic quests

>>723625282
They literally got rid of all the good devs already. It's now basically a new studio in boston.

>>723625045
I recently tried it, and you are lying. It might be working now, but it's a terrible game.

>>723625180
Yes. It was the same with Witcher 3 and people forgot. 3 was completly riddled with bugs on launch and it was barely playable with huge performance issues and now it's around the same level with skyrim when it comes to fantasy rpgs

>>723625328
It's a great game, what displeased you? I had a blast doing a melee playthrough, gorilla arms builds are sick. Slow down time and vaporise a room full of decked out goons with your bare hands feels fantastic

>>723624854 (OP)
The setting seems a bit boring, feels like loads of games go for the snowy mountains and forests aesthetic. This is just Skellige but bigger.
Toussaint looked so good, they should have gone for another more foreign place, like Zerrikania or Ofir.
Ah well, maybe in a DLC.

>>723625429
>what displeased you?
The gameplay.

>>723624854 (OP)
Didn't they say that this entire showcase wasn't the actual game, just a render or whatever

>>723625584
Vague answer. You're shit at being a contrarian lurk moar

>>723625701
That was cyberpunk but even then it mostly matched what we got

>>723624854 (OP)
Is it true that lore about only boys can become witchers was invent by CDPR not Sapkowski?

>>723624854 (OP)
Sorry, game should be superb for me to tolerate fem protag. Since Geralt was the reason I finished W3, no way I'm gonna be interested in a game without him.

>>723625792
What more do you want me to say? I'm not a gaming journalist. I can't and won't break down every aspect of the game just so you can ignore it anyway.
The combat was boring as shit. That's all there is to it.

no

>>723626536
Really? I thought Geralt was the most boring part of witcher games - him being a pre-established character reeeeally limits options about how you write him.

>UE
lol.
lmao even.

>>723624854 (OP)
All I ask is that it's not called the witcher 4 and that Ciri is not a witcher in this new game. That's not too much if you ask me.

>>723624854 (OP)
nobody wants to play as ciri and everyone who's read the novels hates her too
literal DEI protag who cannot be a witcher anyways so why is it even called Witcher
Should have just made a vesemir game or something

>>723626908
>the most boring part of witcher games
Ciri segments

>>723624854 (OP)
All the tech garbage aside, it's going to be shit.
>Witcher 3 gives you 3 endings
>LMAO ONLY ONE IS ACTUALLY CANON NOW, THE OTHERS ARE RETCONNED
>Ciri, even though an adult, goes through witcher mutations with no side-effects
>Neither Geralt nor Yennefer didn't persuade her to not do something that's in 95% of cases a suicide
>her magic powers get retconned too, because she'd be too op. It'll be retconned with one sentence, like "Oh I lost my powers after I saved the multiuniverse, tee-hee"
I wouldn't mind having a female witcher protagonist, but shoehorning Ciri is a prime example why everything about this game is a nonsensical piece of dogshit.

Oh, and forget any clever or memorable quests like the Bloody Baron. CDPR has already shown in TW3 they're willing to cut any kind of coherent storyline from the game as late as 6 months before release (they basically butchered the entire storyline from Witcher 3 just 6 months before the release, because it was too coherent, complex and well-written, so they made it for retards. The traces of the old story are still in the leaked source code).

>>723624854 (OP)
>UE5
hahaha, so it will need a 6090 to run at 1440p 60 fps with fake fps and resolution on ?

>>723626932
The Witcher is female. Deal with it. You might even call her, The Bitcher.

>>723627413
The ending cutscene makes it quite clear that her becoming queenie wasn't really that bad. It was actually a pretty good choice. She just bitched initially, since monster hunting is all she's known for the most part of her life and she didn't know what to expect from the royal life. But then geralt meets her later on and she seems to be settling in perfectly well, thus making it pretty obvious that that was always how her story was truly supposed to have ended.

>>723627504
You say that but Expedition 33 was UE5 and it ran great on high settings with mid hardware.
If some no name French studio can do it so can they

>>723626932
Cringe.

>>723627918
The empress scene also clearly takes place a few months after the Witcheress scene (The Witcheress ending is in summer, Empress in Winter). And she only becomes Empress, out of her own choice, which she makes, because she meets Emhyr. If she doesn't meet him, she simply doesn't know she might have another choice. Either way, TW4 is going to be dogshit.

Is Ciri being a witcher really that bad? Couldn't she survive the Trial of Grasses because of her Elder Blood?

>>723627326
Exactly my thoughts. She's THAT part in Witcher 3. And no I'm not doing the "playing woman = bad" angle, her segments genuinely were a boring FORCED slog.

First game had a great world and story for the 1st half, but poorly implimented rpg elements and women slop romance story. Ciri being main protag now will just worsen the aspects I didn't like about W3.

>>723627918
>that was always how her story was truly supposed to have ended.
Her story ends with her fucking off into the multiverse and meeting galahad. A flash forward hints that she got ELFED as her chosen one son saves the elves from the continent. She was never meant to be some puppet empress for humans.

>>723624854 (OP)
Ciri sucks. And even if they had a good pitch for Witcher 4, instead of the worst idea possible, the people making this have nothing to do with CDPR of a decade ago.

WHY IS IT SO BLURRY

>>723628040
Cause it's kinda stupid, they could've went with the "ciri powers" angle, or just said that her ability to do magic is back (how is that gonna play with her being a witcher btw?), there was literally no need to make her an actual witcher.

>>723628293
What the hell? I thought Ciri-chan is strictly for yuri.

>>723628452
No? I have a lot of Ciri porn and all of it is her getting too cocky and then getting BESTED.

>>723628452
No, she was always straight and forced into yuri by being exploited at her darkest moment

>>723628359
Yeah, those sexual abusers are making that vampire game, I know.

>>723628040
If she has elder blood powers, she doesn't need to risk the trial. She's way stronger than any Witcher.
If she doesn't have the powers anymore, the trial would kill her and no one would administer it.

>>723628452
The story is about a bunch of dudes trying to fuck her because her son will be Goku. She even reciprocates to some particularly nasty men in the series but they either die before they can stick it in or lose interest in her before lowering themselves to spending their pure elvish genes on a human mutt.

>>723624854 (OP)
I hate the new Ciri voice. Wtf were they thinking?

Don't care, it made sense to me.

>>723624854 (OP)
The tech they are using for the foliage is pretty neat, no way this is 4k/60fps on PS4

>tech demo
>there's no tech

>>723630248
>4k/60fps
900p upscaled.

>>723625071
This is a direct collaboration with Epic, Gears 5 was the same and that game looked like I was watching a CGI movie the whole way through, Unreal still has a lot of shortfalls but this isn't the same as basically everyone else using the engine, they will be able to get a bit more out of it.

>>723624854 (OP)
remember that first "gameplay" trailer for witcher 3?

witcher ended with 3. Don't care anymore after what they do, won't be buying either

>>723625895
No it was this, I remember

>>723630457
Yeah I'm guessing it's going to heavily lean on upscaling.

>>723624854 (OP)
It's just TW3 but worse

Crimson Desert is the game to look forward to

I'm interested int seeing if this releases cross gen with the PS6, I'm also interested in seeing if Epic/Nvidia/CD Projekt will flex and push a path traced version of this game.

>>723624854 (OP)
Withcer 3 looked great too before they shitted it up for so consoles could run it.

>>723631154
Probably yes and yes.
I might get a new PC for it. Or a PS6.
Currently have a 5070, it should run the game, but not maxed.

>>723631316
This is developed for PS5 as the base platform, tard.

>>723631357
And the PS5 is also a console.

>ciri

The fucking antithesis of what I wanted from a witcher game.
Dead company, dead series.

>4 games by CDPR
>they all suck hard
This time, for sure!

>>723624854 (OP)
Ciri works as a mcguffin but as the main playable character I don't see how its going to work.
Unless they pull some metroid shit where she loses all her god powers in the prologue because she tripped over a rock (which would be lame) it will just feel lame.
Geralt by Witcher 3 was already grossly overpowered as it is.

>>723624854 (OP)>people still drooling to CDRed after CP2077 fiasco and Witcher 2 and 3.
Anything that happens in the gaming industry is more than deserved already.

>>723631357
Your currant PC is probably more powerful than a PS6, and very juicy.

I wouldn't mind a new Witcher game, but I don't want to play as Ciri, she is an annoying Mary Sue.
Why can't we simply start out as some new witcher character that we can design, and explore our own story?

>>723630525
if you think the performance will be significantly different from any other ue5 title (read: dogshit), you've drank the koolaid.

>>723631879
>she is an annoying Mary Sue.
Her entire life is running from people stronger than her. Hardly a Sue.

>>723630525
Many other UE5 games are direct collaborations with Epic. They pay big money to bribe studios to use their shit engine, so it's normal they go help them set it up. It's like you're selling some new heavy machines to car shops. Of course you're gonna go there and help them properly set it up.

Collab or no collab, the devs are always gonna buy the cheapest pre-made assets, which always results in souless crap.

>>723631991
i wouldn't know, i don't read polish slop.
The only thing I know is that she is a Mary Sue in Witcher 3

>>723632289
Says a dysgenic Amerimutt.

>>723631931
You don’t know shit about game engines

>>723632274
How direct though? maybe support but what other games have Epic developing tech in association with the devs for their games specific use case, and pushing tech demos based on that game, the Matrix tech demo was developed by the team behind Gears 5

>>723627978
When has a AAA studio optimized UE5 slop to the level of E33?

>>723624854 (OP)
i don't want to play as ciri, i want to play as literally myself an fuc ciri

>>723632969
Why not as Shiri and yuri fuck other cute girls?

S.T.O.L.K.Y.R 2 Hyrt of Chyrnylbyl. Remember that game? Me neither.

Gay.

Reminder

>>723632489
Cool non argument. Show me a UE5 game that runs well, especially on a setup that doesn't cost $5000. You cannot.

>>723633660
All of them run well on my pc, but its worth $5k so you probably couldn’t relate. Buy non-dogshit hardware if you want a non-dogshit experience.

>>723628871

exactly so stop trying to be God it's uncanny
pic rel is how modern game were supposed to look if we were on the right timeline

>>723633202
And that game featured like a tech demo from Unreal as well as new tech developed in collaboration with that games development team?

>>723634110
God isnt real.

>>723634265
i'm praying for you brother

>>723627413
All of this will be explained in Witcher 4, you are going to eat those words and seethe for 4 years when it win game of the year

>>723633828
Why would I buy a 5k rig to play games that look no better than Red Dead 2, which runs on a 660? If I have to pay 50 times the price of a used rig capable of running RDR2, then give me games that look 50 times better than RDR2.

>>723634265
fact checked peer reviewed source?

>>723625429
It's a mediocre tv show with occasional shooting gallery segments.

>>723634536
Me, a dream ofc.

>>723631991
she's not a mary sue because as a teenage girl who doesn't understand her powers she's running away from the most powerful mage in the world, the most powerful unmutated human swordfighter in the world, the most powerful king in the world, and a race of world hopping elves who has wiped out entire planets all at once?

>>723633828
It's a trick question. There isn't a single PC in existence that can run UE5 games at acceptable framerates (triple digit at native 1440p, let alone 4k).
You lying faggot.

>>723624854 (OP)
I never understood the love for the Wticher. I tried to play 3 I think 3 different times. It just never hooked me. It's too much like normalfag spiderman flipping around fighting. The mechanics aren't deep enough

Enough red flags. I doubt you can find even 1 successful franchise that went from female -> male protag

I thought that was the plan at the beginning?

Never mention woke.
If you can find "problematic" dev opinions or angles in the games, use those.

UE5 default materials shading looks like utter trash

>>723627413
They say Ciri was always the logical next protagonist but I don't believe it.
I hope someone asks the dawnwalker (former CDPR) devs if that was true at the time W3 released

>Female Protag
>in an RPG

I can only tolerate females in games if:

>I can choose to play as a male for my main, canon playthrough (Cyberpunk for example) and a female for my coomer mods playthrough
>game is a 5-10 hour long slasher with titty physics (Stellar Blade, Nier)

Not gonna tolerate playing a 100 hour Role Playing Game where I need to literally role play as a chick. And that's not even getting into the fact that I just know there's gonna be

>Yass Queen moments/dialogue options
>"Badass armor" (that would have looked better on my white male character) instead of skimpy fantasy bikini armor
>Forced nigger romance for CDPRs ESG Blacked points

Can't wait for this latest trend of forced female protags to die out.

>>723624854 (OP)
>Ciri-chan's game looks really great
Nigger, what's wrong with you? This is TECH DEMO, actual game was not shown so far.

>>723624854 (OP)
that was a UE5 tech demo not witcher 4

>>723635789
I don't care. The GPU sellers should factor that in their price. But they won't because GPUs are not focused on gaming anymore.

>>723624854 (OP)

Unless its a sluty but cute huntress, I pass.

>>723625045
Thats just every game that comes out nowdays

It is peak normiecore so yes, this will be the game that normies play for the next 10 years.

It doesnt look particulary good, seems lazy they took the most easy options

>>723640614
If they don't pull out playable Geralt or somesuch this won't nearly have the same staying power as W3. Not even remotely

>>723641119
Thats even worse, Geralt story was supposed to be finished but theyre gonna keep milking old charas cause they have no creativity to make a new story with a new base

>>723635972
DC3 effectively killed the series, and RE had male and female MC's for their first two games.

>>723624854 (OP)
no male protag no buy

>>723641326
I agree it would be worse. People are now familiar and invested in Witcher as a setting. It's crazy to me it didn't cross their mind to excite everyone with a new story or let people make their own character to play a role in this world. I feel like every normie would be on board with it

>>723624854 (OP)
I'm sorry but I refuse to play as a female in video games, especially an "RPG". I don't even hate women, it just does absolutely nothing for me. I think a lot of people actually feel this way too and that is why this game is going to bomb.

>>723641563
>for their first two games
Don't try it. It's female in first game.

Why bother thinking about this game? Its probably 5 or 6 years away from release.
