I think this is probably my most anticipated game of this year. Also holy crapballs, my life would be complete if Vinny did an endurance run or any extensive coverage of this game. I think it would be great content!

Drew, F-16's are known as Vipers, not Strike Eagles. -_-

Absolutely this! That's the point of The Witcher games, your decisions have true weight behind them and you have to at least think before acting. There's no "Good" or "Bad" there's just intuition and sometimes rolling the dice.

Replaying TW2 and seeing the other side of the Roche/Iorveth paths was a ton of fun. You get to pick between several "gray" options as opposed to BLUE/GOOD and RED/EVIL and yet they can have more of an impact on the world than the games that offer those two paths.

Going for a more neutral Geralt also makes a ton of sense considering his character and is actually an option that makes sense to pick, unlike in most games.

As a Welshman, I find endless amusement in The Witcher 2 (and as evidenced by this video, The Witcher 3) being rammed full of my homeland's various regional accents. It's one of the extremely few series I've played that has any at all.

The Welsh accent is the most inherently comedic sounding accent, imo.

This game looks amazing. My one complaint so far is how there's no moments of silence. They seemed to put so much care into the ambient sounds like birds chirping and the sound of the wind but the music was making it hard to hear. Hopefully it doesn't play all the time. The music sounded good so I don't want to have to turn off the music entirely.

Since playing The Witcher 2 I've been able to finish reading all the books preceding it, so I'm incredibly excited that this game will finally start tying that stuff together. Might want to re-read them though, just in case.

Perfect GIF. The witch pulls the dagger from her butt and then gives it to the Witcher, who then proceeds to put it in his butt.

@turambar: sure it is. It makes for a different gameplay experience for everyone, and for multiple playthroughs. I had a friend who beat the Witcher 2, twice, and he never even had an idea that Saskia was the dragon. Because even though he played more than once, they're so many choices that affect that storyline.
I think it's awesome.
also.... spoiler alert

So, I have a 660ti graphics card in my PC and also a PS4. What do you guys estimate will look better? My PC or PS4?

I think it will be roughly the same. The difference being that the PC will give you some flexibility where you can sacrifice certain graphical features in exchange for better performance in others. The PS4 version, obviously, will not allow for such tweaking.

I'm plotting to have a new race horse computer built in time for this game, I want to be able to turn all of the graphics settings all the way up so I can see it in full glory and still have it play like butter

Fuckin' Hell, this looks good. Guess I'll be playing the first and second Witchergames to get my fix until this arrives...

We really need a movie about Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta Jones and Christian Bale just talking to each other in their native accents.

As a fellow Welshman I couldn't agree more. Given how rare Welsh accents are in games I found it hilarious how some villagers in Witcher 2 sounded like they'd wandered out of the valleys. Glad to see the trend continued in Witcher 3!

These games seem to get exponentially better.

I expect the Witcher 4 to be the best selling game of all time, form a new competitive e-sports scene, and bring peace to the Middle East.

Damn son it's like open world of Elder Scroll with the details of Assassin's Creed

I never got into Witcher 1, so didn't pay the second much mind.

I was super excited until I saw this video. I want nothing to do with it anymore.
