Multiplat Official Witcher 4 Discussion (2027)

Not that hyped since I heard you’re gonna play as Ciri.

I would have loved to create my own Witcher instead.

I don't think that would really work. It's a very character driven game.

How big is the map?

How big is the map?

They've previously commented Witcher4's map will be in similar size to Witcher3's.

Before being disappointed because it seems every new sequel needs a bigger map in comparison to the previous title, it needs to be mentioned that Witcher3 didn't have a singular map, but maps.

*White Orchard
*Northern Realms
*Skellige
*Kher Morhen
*Tousant

Combined that's a fucking huge.
Fans don't want it to be like Just Cause, which had bigger and bigger maps with every sequel but nothing to do in them.
They also mentioned they hope to make the map more dense, with more activities.
Hopefully better than horse racing.

Somewhat off-topic -
All of the talk of the UnrealEngine5 becoming the industry standard to the point its the main engine taught in game development schools... makes me wonder if future PCs & Consoles will be engineered to best play UE5 games.

All of the talk of PlayStation and Xbox having the more powerful console has ended up being meaningless because multiplatform games have been developed to play exactly the same for both consoles.

For those insisting on waiting to play CP2077 after a new update -

I've never played a Witcher game so I was just curious.

As far as Just Cause maps, that's actually what I want for GTA. A Just Cause sized map, but also dense. If anyone can do it it's R*.

As for game maps in general, I always appreciate when a map is bigger rather than smaller. The bigger the better is how I look at it. But yeah, I also don't like it when a map is empty, regardless of the size.

True, would be cool to create your own char and be able to choose your background and which Witcher school you’re a part of.

Yeah, I think maybe a Witcher online game would be cool for that. Create Witcher schools with other Witchers and take contracts etc. Would be fun.

Although thinking about it if that happened I might never leave my house again so probably best that it doesn't.

Bro, go play Witcher 3 and find out why so many of us consider it to be one of the best games ever.

In late 2019 and 2020 videos were made calling it the game of the decade.

This news is a new days old -



No word if the DLC will be small, medium, or expansion-sized (Probably... No) or if it'll be paid or free.

But as far as marketing goes for Witcher4, this is a brilliant idea... to make a DLC for the previous game in a series you're making a sequel for and for it to be a prequel of sorts for the new sequel.

Witcher3 has sold 60 million copies, and that's 60 million potential buyers for Witcher4.

It can mend the narratives of each of the main-story endings to explain how...
*Ciri went from being believed to be dead... to being a Witcher.
*Ciri went from being the empress of her father's kingdom... to being a Witcher.
*Ciri went from being a Witcher... to being a Witcher.

Many buyers of Witcher3 never beat the game (hell, 30% of players in PS4 didn't even get past White Orchard), so the DLC will be have an option in the main menu to skip directly to it, just like Witcher3's expansions.

Will we be playing as Geralt... Or Ciri?
Will it have a lot of gameplay, or will it mostly be story-focused?

I'm very much interested in learning more.

They need to fix performance of the 'next gen' upgrade on PC, if they just add a couple of quests but don't touch the game's performance again that will be disappointing. The game looks good but not good enough for how terribly it runs.

Haven't heard about issues with the 'Next-Gen' update on PC.

Very sure the update will be far more than 'just acouple of quests.'

 

[Cole train]

Should make djikstra dlc where you run northern realm and insult gerald

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

Pretty excited for that DLC
