I would get that collectors just for the Medallion.

I have collectors edition witcher 1 and two, a few of the physical games I've kept. Have an obsession with that Medallion lol, got it on t-shirt, poster, decals everywhere and I've been playing around with an idea of that as a tatoo =p

@ Lurch - not yet, listing info to be provided after E3

Release date is confirmed as Feb 24, 2015.

Some of the gameplay trailers shown at E3:

As the collectors edition is up for order (Link), here's some Youtube clips of the unboxing and design/construction of the statue:

Another distraction to look at before The Witcher 3 comes out (The Witcher Adventure Game).

I'm going to pick it up on PS4 so cant access the current beta but it looks to be a well developed board game (it'll have a physical release as well), although the early preview is light on details with no video of the gameplay flow.

Game is looking good so far, just hoping it doesn't lose momentum at the end. Took me over 2 months to beat Witcher 2 cause it got so repetitive and boring towards the end.

That's my only concern with this title, other than that it is looking great.

Witcher 3 with Dragons Dogma combat would be gaming heaven.

The collector's edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for Xbox One will include an exclusive cloth map and set of cards, CD Projekt Red announced Friday.

I've found all the open-world titles I've played allow for the player to unwilling (or willingly) destroy the pacing. It'll be interesting to see how Cd Projekt manages to keep the story as focused int he new setting.

MILD SPOILERS BELOW...

I have to ask, which campaign path did you follow in The Witcher 2, Vernon or Iorveth?

I first played Vernon's path which involved plenty of politics, associating with questionable leaders and quests to please them and establish stability in the northern Kingdoms. On my 2nd playthrough, I followed Iorveth and ended up helping a rebellion, clearing monster-infested mines with rowdy dwarves, stealing dreams back from harpies, fighting in a ghost-war and sneaking into the last location in the game and taking my revenge on a certain foreign group.

They were two really different experiences and while Vernon's path was less fantastical, it feels more important when considering the state of the world in The Witcher 3.

35 minutes of Witcher 3 gameplay - Mild spoilers for some interesting encounters but, given the scope of the game they've promised, probably not much.



A question aimed at AWX - will you be stocking the companion book they're releasing to supplement the game and bring people up to speed on the full story (The World of the Witcher)?

@Lurch, yes - listing will only be up in November though

I care naught for resolutions, frame rate is far more important but this is unlikely to run 1080P on either platform.

900p (or whatever they're aiming for) and a stable frame rate (preferably sans tearing) would for me be the better image. The Witcher 2 on Xbox 360 still looks stunning but in intense scenes, you could get a lot of screen tear which really ruined the image.

I may be mistaken but after numerous comments about getting the Xbox One up to the level of the PS4, the only console gameplay I've seen seems to be running on the Xbox One?

Ignoring the weird dramatic scenes and music with the CDProkekt staff, this look incredible. It's the only game so far that'll get my gaming mates to finally give up on the Xbox 360 and pick up a PS4.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - “The Trail” Opening Cinematic

While I doubt the DLC will be particularly huge in scope and size, CDPR seems to love going against conventions and I'll always support them for it. At least it'll be likely to bring people back to the game later and encourage potential replays -

CD Projekt are seriously cool, loved their comment on retailer DLC ...

also loved the second post "How dare they give me free DLC" ... LOL that's why I prefer the British gaming sites over the US ones any day - whole different level of dry and wry humour ...
