World supposedly 20% bigger than Skyrim's
30-40 minutes to cross world on Horseback
New streaming technology (CDRED Engine 3)
Geralt's Memory is restored
No chapters/acts
Dude is *ing DONE fighting for everyone else
Everything from solving MYSTERIES to slaying monsters
Coming out on "all top-of-the-line" consoles - I'd say that confirms next-gen is in.

Can't say I`m not concerned with this comparision to Skyrim though.

You know, there's a point where maps just get too big. Want an example? Look at Just Cause 2, and imagine trying to traverse that area without cars and planes and super grappling hooks.
A bigger world seems like a great idea until it becomes a chore to get to places. And fast travel systems in single-player games feel a bit dirty.

I might give it a try, though.

I am both excited, and worried about this. Look at Gothic 3 - Piranha Bytes ambitiously tried to create a more sandboxy game with the scope of Elder Scrolls but with all the goodies and magic that made their previous games the gems they were, but ended up releasing a game that was incomplete and in many ways broken - partly due to being forced into a rushed release by **shudders** the publisher  JoWood - which is terribly sad since the potential of the game was so obvious to all of us who sodiered through it out of love for the franchise. It took several community patches to make it more playable.

I really hope that CD Projekt Red have the resources to pull this off.

I never actually finished the previous Witcher games... But I did purchase them both and never regretted my choice, simply because of CD Projekt Red's ethos as a gaming company. And unless things go horribly wrong, I will be purchasing The Witcher 3 as well.

Those screens (albeit low resolution) were linked on polish gaming site so I assume they are not scans from article in gameinformer. If mod finds it to not be the case then oh well.

Both original Withcer and Witcher 2 are amongst my favourite games of all time; the atmosphere, world and characters are great and I can't think any like them from top of my head (granted, my gaming experience is somewhat limited). While change to more open world style is a bit worrying, mostly because it's easy to screw up, I'm definately looking forward to this game. One thing is sure though; I will have to buy whole new PC bit before it comes out

I really hope there is an expansion or something, one of the things I hate about Projeck CD is even though they make great games, they always just jumped unto the next one. And NO the enhanced edition don't count for me. I want brand new world and stuff, but i suppose its asking for too much.

[Di-Dorval]

Freaking excited for this. If they make it more open I hope they will add more customization options for Geralt maybe ala fable style where you can drastically change your character even though you start with a forced look. A more varied combat system would be nice too. Also I hope it will be the length of the first game or longer! And I want more loot too (don't need standard MMO loot, just a good amount of legendary items hidden accross the world would please me).

I doubt CD projekt will screw up with the open world. They where always pretty good with the use of space in the games. Even in the first one that had bigger vaster areas.

To quote TB video: ''this sounds like the game RPGs fans have been craving for, for decades.''

Oh and I'm pretty sure that the mysterious girl on the picture is Ciri because of the pale hair.
