I shall do you the favour of shutting my pretentious mouth (or binding my pretentious typing fingers) so as to comfort your instant viewing pleasure. Enjoy.
That was pretty impressive! So, what have we gathered about The Witcher 3 thanks to this footage? Well, we have an enormous, grim open world with seemingly little to no restraint in exploration; high calibre scripting, motion capture, and voice acting; a contextual soundtrack flowing with string instrumentation that is elaborated with vocal accompaniment during skirmishes; a visceral and methodical combat system comprised of quick dodges, parries, and sword slashes that can be combined with “signs,” this world’s version of magic; a decision making system that impacts events in the story; appealingly grotesque creature design; and plenty of evil afoot.
What did I miss? What do you think of the video?
I think I need to invest in sword combat training…
