Witcher 3 devs: "No exclusive content for any platforms"

Highlights:

1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is currently in Alpha stage of development.

2. The script is 2,000 text pages long and there are 40,000
dialog lines to be recorded. On the release date the game will be localized in 12 languages. Full localisations: EN, DE, FR, PL, RU, JP.

3. There will be no game DLCs dedicated to any retailers or exclusive content for any of platforms.

"Every player, regardless of the platform, will get the “same” Witcher 3. (…) It makes no sense from the player’s point of you, why he can’t have a quest or an item which are available on other console – the same goes for different retailers.”

4. The promotion budget for The Witcher 3 will be 25,000,000 USD.

"The budget of this size is really the first world league. Finally we have a chance to get to the really wide audience.”

5. System requirements – you won’t need SLI/CrossFireX cards to play on ultra-details.

“The game is still in pre-optimization stage and therefore it is hard...

Good, exclusive content for a platform is the worst thing a dev can do in my opinion. It's a slap in the face to fans who are looking forward to the game if they don't have the right platform for it. Regardless of whether it's Xbox, PlayStation, Wii U, or PC.

Thantalas4425d ago

Great! Really pleased to hear that there won't be moneyhats involved with The Witcher 3. Make a PS4 and Xbone version of the game, and let gamers get the right edition for their console and lets leave it at that.

zeal0us4425d ago (Edited 4425d ago )

I think the fault majority of the time lies with the publisher when dealing with exclusive content for a platform. Especially in cases where the publisher owns the developer.

Braid4425d ago

I really respect these guys. Their games are full of content, look great and play great. I wish there were more compaines like them, definitely supporting their titles.

ATi_Elite4425d ago

Very very good because all that EXCLUSIVE CONTENT for a system has gotten STALE!

Exclusive Games are still the BEST as they sell systems but exclusive content is for the BIRDS.

if you are multiplat then just be multiplat and not hold stuff back because Microsoft is BRIBING YOU!

aragon4425d ago

so only ms gets exclusive content on multiplats? you had to bring fanboyism in to play here, which is obviously what the witcher 3 devs have been discouraging for the last 3 months or so. Grow up.

I'm starting to become a fan... Never played a Witcher game, but these devs seem to be doing everything right

Kenshin_BATT0USAI4425d ago

If you got a decent enough pc I highly suggest you pick up 1 and 2, you can usually find both with a total less than $10 these days.

Volkama4425d ago (Edited 4425d ago )

Both the first games were eventually released with a goty-style "enhanced edition" with extra content. Do you know how they much they charged their early-adopting fans for the extra content? Not a penny, it was given as a free patch. And it was a lot of content.

Pick them up if you can. Witcher 1's combat is clunky to say the least, but they're both excellent games and often sell for a few quid each on Steam.

ATi_Elite4425d ago

you are missing out!

TW1 TW2 are PHENOMENAL. Go play them while waiting for TW3!

You will NOT be disappointed.

Salooh4425d ago

Same here , never played a witcher game but i have been following it's news since the first one. Don't know if you can call me a fan or not though. I just can't afford a good pc gaming right now.

They are definitely a great studio that care about us. They are reasonable and that's what i love about them .

BallsEye4425d ago

Witcher 2 is on XBOX360 as well, definately worth it. Finished it both on PC and X360 (expanded version).

Salooh4425d ago

Sadly i sold my XBOX360 before they announce it. At that time they started to focus on kinect instead of awesome games like gears 1 / alan wake so i was tired of waiting for great games from 360 . So i sold it so that i don't lose more money.

Witcher 2 would have made a better 360 impact in me if i played it.

No exclusive content, these guys just continue to do right by the gamer. Much appreciated!

Disagree on not needing crossfire for ultra settings though, because I have a 4k UHD screen :D

CrossingEden4425d ago (Edited 4425d ago )

This is the most respectful team of developers. Seriously
-they redid and added more motion capture animations and also redid the combat of the witcher 1 FOR FREE
-They magically made the xbox 360 version of the witcher 2 look amazing and then upgraded everyone's pc copy of the witcher 2 to the dark edition, FOR FREE
-One of them just recently re-created every aspect of the wticher 2's combat and redid it to resemble the combat system in the witcher 3 and released it to players, FOR FREE.
The most amazing part of this is that they're developing this game on a much smaller budget yet are providing way more content than games with much higher budgets. They're very respectful developers and I for one cannot wait to play this installment.

oIITSBIIo4425d ago

Well we will Have Redkit I'll count that as an exclusive content for PC platform .

The actor who portrayed Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher series of games has died

Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.

Cause they play NBA2k26, COD and gamepass

Fishy Fingers41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.

Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?

Bathyj41d ago

The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.

Simply not worth it

LMGk41d ago

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

NotoriousWhiz40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.

GamingSinceForever41d ago

Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂

Loktai41d ago

Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.
