The Witcher 3 Devs on PS4 Version: “Don’t Worry” About Optimization;“Our Coders Are Voodoo Shamans.”

Today we finally saw the PS4 version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in action, and it definitely looked impressive. The game's developers had reassuring words about optimization, and words of praise for CD Projekt's coders, also mentioning the possibility of an uncompressed version of the footage coming.

I like the term Digital Wizards. :)

pixelsword4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

I just hope "voodoo shamans" translate into "competent", I'll be happy with that. :)

Kal-V34017d ago

The pessimism is strong with you, my friend. ;P

pixelsword4017d ago

I'm glad you noticed: most people pass it off as melancholy. :)

rainslacker4015d ago

Hope so because Voodoo video cards haven't been made in a very long time....God I'm old.

Irishguy954017d ago

I hope so...I LOVE the witcher series but the games have always released buggy and unoptimized...

AndrewLB4017d ago

That is a flat out lie and you know it. CDPR has had some of the best running, bug-free releases I can think of in my 30 years of gaming.
The VAST majority of complaints for example were people trying to run Witcher 2 with everything set to Ultra + Ubersampling turned up to max, even though they had a laptop or a graphics card that was considered "mid-range" ($100-250) 4 years earlier and was clearly a low-end card when trying to run modern graphics.
This phenomena of people thinking their ancient hardware can somehow run the most modern games maxed out is the primary reason why PC gaming has the undeserved reputation of requiring a lot of technical knowledge and that constant tweaking being necessary. If people would simply install the game and keep the graphics settings where the loader sets them based on your current hardware configuration, there would be only as many complainers as we see on console games.

sounds like a boss miyazaki would come up with.

DarXyde4017d ago

I hope Miyazaki makes a game based on the industry and puts us against a "Voodoo Shaman" or "Sleep-deprived Coder".

...Let's stop talking about this and start funding. It's starting to sound amazing.

Conzul4018d ago

Better than Cyber Monks.

90's ftw

oasdada4018d ago

They came from the moon you say?

Sir_Simba4018d ago

I could tell everything, but I wont,
I dont have time to explain why I dont have time to explain.

averagejoe264018d ago

But you had enough time to explain why you didn't have time to explain why you didn't have time to explain

reallyNow4018d ago

the expansion pack gives me a little time to explain at least partially what i was explaining that i had no time to explain. 20$, please.

chrisx4018d ago

cant wait to play witcher 3 on Ps4. so close yet so far

Dario_DC4018d ago

This is gonna be the 2nd game this year I'm buying at full price :)
This is how you make a great game and deal with DLC.
So many publishers and developers need to learn from CD Projekt.

Muzikguy4018d ago

My second game as well. Should be a great game!

Xaphy4018d ago

Getting the collector's :D

EazyC4018d ago

You two are men of mystery!

What WAS the first game?

Dario_DC4018d ago

Mine was Bloodborne. I'm tired of DLC bulls**t so I carefully pick the games that deserve my money.
With that said I've also bought in promotions or used a few other games but I REFUSE to buy games full of DLC crap at full price. That's why I haven't bough MKX for example.

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 Fingers46d ago (Edited 46d 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?

Bathyj45d 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

LMGk45d ago

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

NotoriousWhiz45d ago (Edited 45d 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.

GamingSinceForever46d ago

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

Loktai46d 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.

Sign me up. I haven’t played it since it released on PS4 so I could go for another run with a new DLC.

M3talDiamond327d ago

repsahj327d ago (Edited 327d ago )
