CD Projekt really are going all-out with this game I see. Can't wait to play it.

My inner cynic compels me to point out that this trailer was virtually identical to the previous one, just with different music and more slo-mo.

Incidentally, the game is actually alright.

The games pretty good so far.

Combat could use a bit of refinement though as it tends to be a little clunky and unresponsive at times, which can get really frustrating given that its fairly difficult.

Okay, that did look really cool. I really have no idea what's what in the games universe, haven't played the first one. But i have to confess that now i want to play the game...

Huh, you mean the game's actually out now? I'd preordered it a couple months ago on steam, but I'd given up on checking for when I could actually play it...
Well, I guess I know what I'm doing with my time for the next week or so :p

PFFFFF... Can anyone say pretentious? I mean seriously, shoddy game footage (note: not actual gameplay) set to classical music.

I've got the game and I know it's hard to believe but that is actual game footage.

So you're agreeing with what I'm saying? I'm all for cutscenes in a game, but I'd rather PLAY the awesome moments than watch someone else doing them.
Also games that advertise themselves without in game gameplay is a personal bugbear. Show us what we'll be fucking doing, not what you've decided will be pretty and pre-rendered.

No, I am not. I am saying that there is no pre-rendered footage in there. I do not agree with calling the thing pretentious.

No, I've the game and near evrything is in a mediaval dark age theme, from the dress, to the armor, the city... to the believing of the people. Evrything. I think it is an example of "aestetic: how it's done" for Extracredit of last week. And as kaysing say, yes in this game there is no pre rendered cutscene. It's all in the same grapic of the dialog part.

And it's burning my pc due to the high level of rendering.

Ok, I used "pre-rendered" in the wrong context here. "non playable" would have been better. i like a game that actually shows the combat, the gameplay itself.


And any game that sets its trailer to classical music is instantly pretentious. Especially a "mature" game like Witcher

No it's not. Alright, what you see there, is non-playable, I grant you that. But a game that has a trailer with classical music is not "instantly pretentious". If the music fits the trailer, then why should they not use it. If you use it just so you appeal to the artsy crowd, then yes it's pretentious. This is not pretentious, this some of the best accompanying music I have heard in a trailer since Dead Island (you know the one I mean). So don't go saying it's pretentious just because it has classical music playing in the background, cause I can't imagine music more fitting for this trailer.

So witcher 2, they took a bunch of disjointed and frankly rubbish looking scenes, and stuck a classic piece on it. Dead island, they composed their own music for it.
Now, I'm not saying that dead island's not a little bit pretentious, but at least it's a unique piece, composed recently. The witcher piece is from god knows when. I mean jesus, they might as well have put "requiem for a dream" to it and acted like it's going to be epic, as opposed to just a poorly constructed RPG that rips off vastly superior games...

So, I didn't happen to catch who the music was by.
Does anybody know the composer/song title?
