jesus h christmas, this keeps looking even more and more amazing. Cannot wait. One of the rare few developers great enough that I'll actually preorder. Didn't regret it with Witcher 2,certainly won't here.

Is it just me or does the leader of the Wild Hunt look an awful lot like the Witch King of Angmar?

Prob the best looking game for at least 3 years. I hope this is the polished game ender the series deserves. If they get the combat to feel a bit better, and get a better pacing/flesh out content this could be an amazing fucking game!

It comes a time of your life that you stop asking yourself if your pc handles certain game, but if you'll have time to play it.

Charles Dance sounds awesome, great casting

Hopefully they will put the PC specs towards the end of the year cause i want to be ready to play this with the highest graphics settings as possible.

Probably wont ever play it, unless they release the whole trilogy on current gen consoles. My laptop could run the first game, but it can only run the 2nd game at like 25 fps on very low settings and not at my screens native resolution.

Feb 24th: The day the PS4 and/or Xbox One either start to hit their stride or hold the industry back for the better part of the next decade.

Is there really lots of untapped potential currently hiding in decent-at best-games from late 2013 and all the way through 2014? Or are the previous claims of PS4 architect Mark Cerny correct in regards to the PS4 being super easy to develop for right out of the gate with no major lull before seeing what it can really do unlike past gaming consoles?...Meaning what we are seeing now more or less how it is going to be.

I hope it's the former, but I kind of expect the latter.

The second game was frankly poorly optimized. I was like you for a while but after digging around on the internet found some tweaks for Nvidia Inspector that let me play it at near max settings with little to no performance dips. Can't say that'll be true this time around, as time will tell, but maybe you could play the second?

Looks fucking fantastic. Wonder what the chances are that they'll port the first two games to current-gen.

Wait, also from the looks of this trailer, does that mean he's also working with NIlfgaard again? Also Charles Dance as Emhyr is pretty fucking awesome.

The white haired lady who was running while Geralt was talking with Emhyr? I'd assume Yennefer was the black haired lady standing beside Geralt and Triss right?

Pre oredered the collectors as soon as they made it available.

Who needs touched up bullshots or cg when your entire (open world to boot) game looks like this.

Really hope one of the witchers in that scene is who i think it is, would be good to share some vodka with him again.

I thought the second game ran extremely well for how good it looked. The setting that got everyone in trouble was super-sampling, but with that off the game ran like butter for me.
