    It's pure PR , still though 99% of todays companies would charge for those items, off hand I thing the only other game I saw recently give stuff like this away was D4: Dark Dreams don't die. So good PR for them.

    12 weeks? Wonder what the reason is. Has anyone read the open letter?

    Ah balls, was looking forward to playing that in Feb but better than releasing a broken game and then scurrying to release patches.

    Considering all the "AAA" screw ups the last few months I'm glad they are doing the right thing and delaying the game. I would rather wait for a quality offering. They arere are a small studio so i doubt they are doing it for fun when you consider the finances around it.

    Still though, my February is now much bleaker. But i have a reason to avoid the sun in May at least :)

    Disappointed that i'll have to wait longer to play it, but happy enough if it means we get the finished product, rather then a buggy mess. To many games have been riddled with bugs lately, so hopefully this won't happen now.

    After some of the disastrous AAA releases we've seen recently, I'm pretty okay with that.

    Yupp would have been very easy to release it and then work on patches, having the people who preordered and paid top dollar test the game for you. Wish other companies would take note of this.

    If I'm interested in a game, i usually get it launch day but i passed on 3 recent games and it's mad reading complaints on forums, apologies from devs and constant patch updates. I'm fine picking them up in the new year for half nattin and fully patched.

    Happy for them to take their time and do it right. As much as I want to play this I'd tell them to take as long as they need :)

    In case anyone missed it, GOG posted the PC system requirements yesterday. I'm cutting it pretty close but I'm just over the minimum. I can finally justify having 8GB of RAM.
    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt launches on May 19th, 2015. If you are looking to play the game on PC, here are the minimum and recommended system requirements. Check if your system will run it smoothly or if you need a not-so-last-minute-yet overhaul ;)

    Minimum System Requirements:
    Intel CPU Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz
    AMD CPU Phenom II X4 940
    Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 660
    AMD GPU Radeon HD 7870
    RAM 6GB
    OS 64-bit Windows 7 or 64-bit Windows 8 (8.1)
    DirectX 11
    HDD Space 40 GB

    Recommended System Requirements:
    Intel CPU Core i7 3770 3,4 GHz
    AMD CPU AMD FX-8350 4 GHz
    Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 770
    AMD GPU Radeon R9 290
    RAM 8GB
    OS 64-bit Windows 7 or 64-bit Windows 8 (8.1)
    DirectX 11
    HDD Space 40 GB

    You can pre-order the game at GOG - we're adding in a bunch of exclusive goodies with it as well!

    Odd question, but which is more like Skyrim? This or one of Dragon Age games games? (or whatever other game for that matter)
    My Bro-in-law is obsessed Skyrim and blanket ignores all other games.
    So I want to get him one thats as close to Skyrim as possible
    Single player only

    I would say this, big massive open world, the first two witcher games were linear in level design terms, witcher 3 will be open world too if you want too wait for that.

    Also according to German Gamestars preview:
    PS4: 1080p, 30fps, minimally sharper textures than XB1, slightly less sharp textures than the "high" setting on PC
    XB1: 900p, 30fps, still being worked on

    My graphics card doesn't meet the recommended these days, so might go for PS4 if it performs properly.

    Did they release all the patches and stuff for the Xbox version of TW2? Just hope the console version gets the same support as the PC version.

    Microsoft used to be really awkward about patches and the like, I don't know if that's changed.

    Very promising. It's one of the things that some players and some developers just don't get about open world games. Most of us want open world games but that doesn't mean we don't want direction.

    It's one of the things they got a bit wrong with Dragon age inquisition. You hear comments from the Devs like "Don't stay in the hinterlands!" Well i'm sorry but as a developer, that is your fault that people felt the need to stick around and do all the side quests. You have failed as a designer by not pushing the player out of it.

    It seems to me from the previews that the Witcher is well aware of this fact. Now if they can only improve the quality of the sound effects...... :P
