You know when the horse muscles were shown layer by layer, the camera left to show the foliage in detail etc. it basically confirms itself there already.
Are they really trying to Cyberpunk us again?
Yes, that’s usually how tech demo works. It’s a tech demo, not a game demo. You’d think a publication like VGC would know this.
This feels like a showcase for UE5 rather than The Witcher 4. I’m guessing Epic paid really good money for this.
the amount of hate in the comment despite the studio being super honest.
yeah we will never have anything nice. you all and your massive hate boner.
Take a look at the video and you’ll see what they mean. This isn’t a game, really, it’s just showing off what tech is available with the new UE.
But in the beginning he said it’s running on a basis ps 5 with ray tracing.. so blatant lie?
CDPR gonna CDPR
” this is running on a standard PS5 at 60fps ” lol
Cyberpunk took 8 years to release after announcement
None of these “reveals” have any substance and won’t for years I will never understand why people get hyped about them
Remember the first footage of Witcher 3 and then how the release version looked?
Yeah, it’s not gonna look like this.
But you know what, that’s okay. I can appreciate a good unrealistic tech demo.
Dang these comments are NOT it. They never said this was a Witcher 4 trailer. It’s an UE5 tech demo using W4 as a backdrop.
If it’s like any other ue game i have recently played this will run like shit on anything other than a top top top of the line pc
imo, even if you missed the “tech demo” statement, its still not “false advertising”…clothing companies use models that have the exact frame for the item they are displaying, restaurants use all kinds of tricks to make food look more appealing, etc. its just generating hype.
Would’ve been hella surprised after KCD 2 dev said in that interview that CDPR were having kinda big problems with getting open worlds and foliage to work in UE 5 to this being the state of the game currently. A tech demo makes much more sense. People will still think this is Witcher 4 though.
MF’er were like ” oh man thats gonna look so good on the ps5″ Christ sakes.
I thought that was fairly clear, I mean Witcher 3 will still be a third person game so I reckon something like it is still what they’re going for but the game is still ways off. However it was nice to have an early look of what it might be like before we do start getting proper gameplay trailers.
Of course it’s not “the game”. The game is still in early development. This shows some cool new tech that will be used in the game, and some locations that will probably evolve and change as development proceeds.
But honestly everything we saw is not that far off from the type of visual fidelity you can see right now in games like AC Shadows. I would expect the final product to be stunning given how far the tech has come.
Ignore all of the NPC interactions and stuff, though. Literally every tech demo ever plays those up for the benefit of the showcase.
there it is
going to be like the spiderman puddles then
It’s a tech demo, but doesn’t tech demo mean what the game potentially could offer technically using UE5? Even in the tech demo, they show us things that we can expect from the game, like how they introduced to us Ciri’s horse and how you can mount it from any angle and how its muscles are realistic.
I dont know… they said 60fps but when Ciri was walking through the start of the market with thw camera rotating… that absolutely does not look 60fps…
.
ngl i’m happy about it
it looked good but too scripted imo
No shit. Anyone actually think it’s going to play and look like that lol
Leave it to Reddit to shit all over something that looks cool. I think CDPR clearly learned their lesson with CP2077 and did a great job turning the game around and righting their wrongs. Not to mention the COMPLETLY FREE update for Witcher 3 they released 2 years ago to show how they respect their fans. Any other studio would have charged for that. Let’s give them a chance and support them.
I wonder if gamers actually think fast food looks like how they are in commercials
Doesn’t matter. Gamers don’t understand what a tech demo is.
If they did E3 probably would still be around.
