The Witcher 3 pushed back to February 2015
- Thread starter chadskin
- Start date
Yeah, I'm surprised at all the people that keep freaking out when a game is delayed now that we've dealt with BF4. You don't want the undelayed version of the game.

I wish more games (and for that matter, movies) were pushed back to give the developers more time to get it right. Everything is unpolished and rushed out these days. Kudos.

I can honestly wait. Still have to finish the other two (lmao). But they're both on my must finish list. Maybe worth upgrading a video card too for this?
I think people can be upset at a delay, but still understand it's necessary and rather have it than an unfinished release.

Where is your Witcher now?
Arkham Knight confirmed as Fall Season Game of the Year.

Well, looks like I can hold off upgrading my 7850 until next year's round of GPUs is out since this was primarily what would have pushed it on PC.
I could do Ps4 version too....but we'll see. This game looks so ludicrously good may be worth an upgraded GPU to get the maximum effect.

Don't jinx it. I REALLY want to play Arkham Knight.

Sweet, I'll be able to afford a GTX 880 by then!
Yes budgets and project management be damned, now they will need 20 million sales to break even.

I'm more worried they'll use the extra time to push the graphics even harder as better cards will be on the market

I'm OK with this. Still want to replay TW2 before this is released and I want them to make the best game possible. I can wait.

Cyberpunk 2077 is now even more in the distant future.
Gone dark for the most part on Dark Souls 2, waiting for the PC release. What happened to Dark Souls 2?

Lots of visual downgrades, its like they ripped out the entire lighting system from the earlier trailers

Seems to happen every year. The holiday season gets too crowded, Batman just joined the fold and most likely more will join as well, and some games get pushed to early part of next year.
So long as they use the time to improve the game I see no problem with it.

Really curious why they announced it way early. Won't be surprised if it might will be changed or cancelled.

Well, they said quite explicitly why: they weren't just promoting the product, but also looking for more people willing to work on it to hire.

You mean this wacky and wonderful trailer?

I still wish we could have played that game.
To test the market with this IP, and entice developers to join CDPR.
No way Cyperpunk will be cancelled, it will be bigger than the Witcher series for them.
At last count CDPR were around 300 staff strong, ~ 180 working on Witcher 3, 40 on Red Engine and the rest on Cyberpunk. As each stage of W3 development finishes, the team moves over to Cyberpunk.
It makes logical sense that this delay will push the Cyberpunk date back.
Absolutely right. I don't get the sense that the Witcher is that big a name yet outside really enthusiast circles and this game seems real ambitious, they need some breathing room.

Noooooooooooook I guess that's fine if it makes the game better on release.
Oh come on! only 63 years left.

Maybe they'll release it in 2020 as a nod to the source material.

I'd rather they take their time and make it as close to perfect as humanly possible rather than release it early with bugs and have to spend the next year "fixing" it. The devs behind The Witcher franchise are some of the most common sensical dudes in gaming from what little I've read of their general public responses to various issues. They can look around at the industry just as easily as the rest of us and, for example, thoughtfully consider what DICE did with BF4 and decide they want to avoid that type of reputation ruining cluster-fuck.
Probably, would love to say that I couldn't care less, but I genuinely want the best for CDPR. Frankly no game competed against Witcher 3 for me this year, but now, no game has to lol.
In related news, I just found out the third novel came out in English last week... in the UK. UK retailers are already selling it to Americans online, but the US edition doesn't come out until June, and that includes digital versions which will be cheaper...
And the end of Time of Contempt makes the wait even harder.

Bummer 
I only played a bit of the first one and didn't really enjoy it, but the second one looked great, and this one looks even better.
Oh well, at least it means they aren't rushing it and we will get a more polished end product of a very ambitious game

Misterxmedia's "insiders" believe that The Witcher 3 is going to be XB1, PC exclusive because it "needs DX12". Gotta love the guy.
Guys I don't know if this will be of interest to you. Over on a site I help on they have CD ProjectRED asking a few interview questions posed by the members of the site, if you have any questions you would like to ask, come and ask them, if you want to know more about this then check out http://www.mygameslounge.com/newsitems/feature-friday-featuring-the-witcher-3-tearaway/
In the mean time thanks for reading my post

Topic was about a month old then got bumped, maybe you forgot about it consciously yet subconsciously remembered the news?

thanks for posting this.
Has someone already made the joke about a Polish game needing more polish? No? Then allow me to be the first.
Delays are always good (barring cases of development hell). Games are quite different from books and movies in that there always tends to be more that could be implemented, and not doing so is typically a result of limited money/time.
