I'll just wait for the Witcher 4 patch 2.0, which will release after 3 years from the original release date and will actually contain the advertised game.
...and be $15 on gog.com
Cool, can't wait for the stutter, as per every other UE5 slop to come out
Expect minimum requirements = 5070ti,
5090 recommended for 60 fps with DLSS
I don't know get why they would make it with UE5 when they have their own in-house engine.
Others answered but it's easier/cheaper for them to use a vendor's engine. It makes sense.
What sucks is that UE seems to almost have a monopoly on engine leasing. I wish there were more options. Having all games use the same engine is putting too many eggs in the same basket.
They ended RedEngine with Cyberpunk 2077, too much work. Everything going forward will be UE.
They claimed that it was expensive and was part of the reason for cyberpunk's turbulent launch.
It's a real shame though, most UE5 runs awful it seems, and are still limited by single thread performance, unlike RED Engine which scales far better with more CPU cores.
Tbh RED engine also has its plethora of problems, missing features, and makes it harder to onboard new team members (need to train on new engine instead of basically every single dev having experience with unity or unreal).
Not that unreal is perfect by any shots.
It's hard work to maintain and develop your own engine.
Fantastic news. I loved Witcher 3, we will see how good 4 is.
so more gwent distractions i hope
I hope they don't change the Gwent gameplay. The mobile version sucked
Developers on suicide watch.
I should probably get around to continuing Witcher 3. I just have a mental issue with quests and choices blocking other quests that I just end up reading the wiki. Help me.
Just in time for me to actually play Witcher 3, I'm starting this weekend. I wasn't big on Witcher 2 and just never got around to 3 until now.
Oh you're in for a treat. The side quests in Witcher 3 are legendary. I love everything about that game.
It is still my favorite game ever, regarding story, world-building, characters, music, graphics, quests and overall gameplay.
But it's a bit weak on combat mechanics, there I prefer Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3.
if you're on pc. get the friendly ui mod and try to hide the mini map and use 3d ~~maps~~ marker instead. immersion is so much better
This. I spent 84% of my first playthrough looking at the minimap.
Pshh, UE5 when the FreeDoom engine exists
