Well, they seem to have come up with some more interesting monster designs this time around.

Taking some time to build atmosphere and a sense of space with all of those establishing shots was a nice touch, but it begs as to how much stuff like this we'll be sitting through in the game. I don't object to cinematic flourishes, and cut-scenes are certainly the right place for them, but this is still supposedly an RPG, and letting the player know too much more than the protagonist can really break a story in the long run.

Voice on the "mysterious stranger" is pretty cringe-worthy. Hopefully it's just placeholder.

Hopefully it's just placeholder.

In a official trailer?

I have very high expectation for this game. Anything a lot better then the original will be a disappointment for me. They know well where the faults lay with the original and the extended edition, so the bar is raised high this time while the original took me completely by surprise.

In a official trailer?

Didn't catch that it was supposed to be an official trailer. It doesn't really play like one (title card at the beginning, with specification of it being in-engine) so I just sort of figured that it was designed to show off gameplay footage. Either way, the one-eyed assassin's high-school-student-trying-to-do-a-300-guy voice really put me off.

Looks good so far, facial animations are only temporary (much work to be done), there are many effects to be added (like some shaders, hair animations, etc.), Michał Kiciński from CD Projekt RED told me on GOL forums that voices of main characters (Geralt, Dandelion, Triss) will stay the same. My expectations are high on this one. I'm little concerned about game to be shorter though.

Voice on the "mysterious stranger" is pretty cringe-worthy. Hopefully it's just placeholder.

The conversation is pretty nonsensical too.

At least the camera work is better than in the first trailer.

Did I see a mudcrab in that first one?

Despite the arm-wavey-ness and apparent need to move a lot of the talking people, seems all right so far graphics and story-wise.

Geralt likes to roll.

 

[Jaesun]

Not many boobie cards in that footage.

 

[Blind Eye]

I would have thought you would be more interested in penis cards.
