Very similar to Red Dead Redemption/all subsequent Rockstar promotional videos.

I really can't wait!

All I can think of is that there is no way they can pull off the witcher in an open world with all the bells and whistles they talk about because that game would be TOO GOOD. Can't wait.

Hello 2014. I'll remain sceptical until the internet (that's us) get its hands on it.

Starting to seem a little Peter Molyneux up in here. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, though!

As someone who has never had a Microsoft console or a high end computer in order to delve into this series, I am really looking forward to this. It seems like Skyrim taken to a whole new level.

CDPR actually has a good track record to fall back on, unlike the recent work of Molyneux.

This is an odd complaint, but there's way too much narrative in this trailer.

If you ever wondered what polish folk are like (truely), take a look at Witcher series.

With the exception of reviews, I think this is likely to be the last piece of publisher/developer released content I watch before release. If I buy this one, I want to come in at it fresh.

That was a really well made trailer but I burst out laughing when he said "rated m... FOR MATURE!"

I can't wait for this to bring my PC to it's knees.

That's it for me. Friend bought me the pre-order for Christmas and I don't want to kill this game with hype before it finally gets released. Love this franchise. This is looking and sounding like everything I imagined the original games had promised, but fell short on delivering. See you in May, Geralt.

Hmm... I think I would have to watch Vinny play this for at least an hour before I'd be sure I want to buy it.

@ghostiet: clearly he means they drink blood, practise racism and sleep in coffins.

Man this looks super cool but I'd totally do without the "mature rpg" mindset. The casual mention of racism and the mage lady removing her clothes with "breath-taking" magic is super cringeworthy. The Witcher games always has been kinda dumb this way and I hoped (and still hope) that one would be better.

Still excited.

It wouldn't be a proper Witcher game without prostitutes. Thanks!

I'm very much looking forward to this. Looks to be a ton of weird characters and environments to interact with. Hopes are high, so I guess we'll see if it delivers soon enough!

I don't know, in the actual games that kind of stuff is more subtle...maybe not so much the prostitute stuff but ehh. This trailer though and the way it mentions that stuff definitely made me cringe a bit but I don't really care either way because it's just a trailer with bad voiceover.

That ending though. "The most realistic fantasy." Umm...what?

I'm not sure if the voiceover is going for slight self parody (the first half felt like maybe it was), or if it's just not written quite as tightly as it could be.

The combat is the worry for me, I know people love it but it's always felt so clunky. That kraken boss or whatever it was in the last game...I ended up cheating past it.

There's no way that wasn't intentional and probably a jibe at all the crap from last year. CD Projekt Red are fantastic.

And his voice sounds like every other character in games these days. Dark. Gruffy. GENERIC!
