Your ending is missing like 10 seconds
Classic ign
Because its not a "Cinematic Trailer" , its literally just a cutscene in game that transitioned to gameplay .. but IGN wants cliks.
True
But at least there’d be a title card or something? But other than that a good teaser
i felt that
Lets not forget the real MVP of this cinematic - that oil lamp not only did not break and cause an unnecessary fire - but it stayed with us until the end, providing illumination. Thank you for your sacrifice oil lamp, you'll never be forgotten.
@@JMan-The_AntiCitizen- it's just a tech demo, but imagine if the oil lamp was on the wall, got knocked off and spilled on the floor to cause a fire. Then the arm would appear to be dragging the victim into hell!
The real MVP is the cameraman
oil lamps toppling and immediately turning everything into a fire inferno are cinematic clichés
@@lukek.2866 😂😂😂 calm down bro, we get it
I was about to say lol incredibly impressive lamp
the last cut is a bit short
IGN professionalism for you.
It is cut directly into "The Witcher 4 Gameplay Tech Demo Unreal Engine 5" idk why they split those two videos :v
WHAT😳😂
There's a second video continued
Fun Fact: Geralt kills a manticore in the books, but the combat is not described, it's told from the POV of the people that are waiting on the road, they said that a Witcher (Geralt) killed a manticore that was in the middle of the road, stopping the traffic, it was eating a Knight slowly bc he had an armour.
Needless to say, he didn't even get tired with it. On top of that, they didn't want to pay him as usual.
He killed another in the Amell Mountains as well, purely out of survival for its flesh and warmth.
I remember someone telling that story in the first Witcher game. Didn't know it was Geralt who killed the manticore.
@@The_Pathologic_Catotonic Were did you take it from?
Gwent 2 is finally here 🙌
they will give some wierd reason why it's not present.
Gwent deadass became my favorite thing about the game lmao. I was always so excited when I was able to challenge someone to play throughout the story
I’m gwenting so hard right now
@@TheGoreforce Would be funny, but in the tech demo when the guy got thrown out of the tavern he said "Thats what happens to people that cheat at Gwent"
Up for some gwent?
I vow to seek no grass, stack no paper, and get no maidens for many months, when this releases.
A true gamer
you're already maidenless so that's one checkmark.
@@Mister_Kitler 😂😂😂
amen
Same. Same
(I never had any of those maidens to begin with)
I can't wait for the inevitable mission where we bring Geralt and Yen out of retirement for one last ride
As long as it doesn't end with either of them inevitably dieing. I'm with you
if modern gaming stories suggest anything I wouldn't be surprised the intro cutscene being Geralt's funeral
Just have a goddamn faith, just one more score Geralt!
@@ThePowertomoveyou Geralt gets rescued by Ciri, then he decides he wants to live quietly at Kaer Morgan.
Approaching Geralt will give you a game over state with Ciri being caught in an eternal Gwent game.
uploading this in 1080p is a crime
Any proper videographer would understand that this video would be vastly superior in 4k30fps instead of 1080p60fps. FPS is important for gameplay but not for footage. It is in fact detrimental to the viewing experience most of the time.
do u have 2k or 4k money ?
4K30fps on PS5Pro ? sad
That is my monitor’s resolution 😅
Surprised it wasn't 50fps as well.

For a moment, I thought that UA-cam is recommending a scam video again. Only to see this video is published by the IGN.
There are soooo many fake / scam video that I also almost ignored it. But it shows IGN so........
IGN may be bad at reviews, but they are legitimate when it comes to announcements, so we take the win
It's still a dice roll, when it comes to clicking on an IGN video to be honest.
@@senju2024 IGN posted "gameplay" for God Save Birmingham which is clearly a scam game
You were right: they scammed you out of the final 10 secs of the teaser.
That Manticore is incredible
Q aren't manticore extinct does that mean there's a 3rd conjunction?
Yo it’s George!!!
@@Tempest7th no they aren't extinct but they are very rare, and what is even more exciting is that they weren't present in any game of the trylogy so first time when we can meet them
I was wondering why that Griffin looks so weird
I thought it was a Gryphon.
Beast name is Imperial Manticore which lives in Armush mountains. Armush mountains location between Sodden and Cintra. So either of this locations are confirmed.

Keep in mind the last time cdpr gave us a game tech demo, it was for 2077 and the demo and final gameplay were worlds apart. Almost as if that scene was pre engineered and not truly part of the game or engine
Exactly, but stupid people are stupid and will froth at the mouth for any scrap of trash.
No shit. But CDPR isn't gonna make a mistakw rhat cost them YEARS to recover from again bro use ur head

and the company who makes bad product they will make the games with low effort cuz why they tryhard to build some new games, new project, new ideas if you like the shit they make before.
@@joedotphp launch may be rough, but Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk are both masterpieces, just that CDPR released both of them unfinished. Witcher 4 will be incredible, my doubt is that it’ll be incredible at launch.

As a reader and lover of TW I'm scared as fuck about what they are going to do about with Ciri.
Sapkowski was writting more book for TW, and I hope that he is into the fourth game deeply to avoid another crap as the tv series was.
CDPR always created original stories within the witcher universe, without sapkowski' help, and all of them are insanely good... stop yapping
Fun fact: This is the first time we've seen a manticore in the Witcher continuity and yes that includes the books and the games. It was only mentioned by Geralt during Witcher 2 flashbacks.
Yes and No, Geralt kills a manticore in the books, but the combat is not described, it's told from the POV of the people that are waiting on the road, they said that a Witcher (geralt) killed a manticore that was in the middle of the road, stopping the traffic, bc it was eating a Knight slowly bc he had an armour.
There was a manticore card in Thronebreaker

@@NeroSparda99 if the game looks like this then hats off to cdpr, but we won’t see games this detailed and interactive in decades (maybe less).

It's very beautiful but I watch this video with a grain of salt. They say it's captured on PS5 at 60 FPS and then they show us cinematics on the muscles of the horses, on a whole bunch of non-gameplay stuff.
I'm sure it's not shot on PS5, the presenter with a controller looks really fake to me.
be careful for downgrades
Don't forget cyberpunk
hmm the lighting, colors and how it is presented is 100% spot on as I remember playing. it all looks nicer but it is so recognizable.
A GODDAMN MANTICORE! LETS GOOOOOO!!!
Cdpr can keep my soul.
Another UE5 slop that'll be plagued with copious amounts of blur, stutter and ghosting
The "Technical Demo" part worries me a bit.
Do you remember the state of their game for wither 2 and Witcher 3 on release day? I do. Thankfully, I got them a year after release when they fix their problems and I'll probably do the same for this game.
Everyone remembers cyberpunk tech demo and what we got on release lol
How are they going to make Ciri believable? She was basically a demigod in Witcher 3
take away her teleportation powers and make her be able to drink potions instead, could explain it with the lore and balance the game too.
I think they're going to say that her going through the trial of the grasses removed her powers
@@bluemoon1716Yeah could be, also could explain how she even survived it, she is probably the first woman witcher out there
@@barni695yeah 100 percent, her elder blood will probably allow her to not die from the trials. Although i will miss the cool looking animation from witcher 3 when she teleports in combat but she was way too powerful for balancing
@@bluemoon1716yeah thats true, but honestly the multi enemey teleport attack would be broken and a bit boring as you would probably spam it all game haha

No I didn't. This Ciri looks like a dude. 🤢🤢🤮🤮
didnt expect any news about this for a decade like with cyberpunk, thats surprising
This will probably be 2027? 28? They’re going to want a big game out before Cyberpunk Orion which probably will be early 2030’s

I heard most of the witcher 3 devs and veterans went on to made the development team Fool's Theory and are working on The Witcher 1 remake, which is gonna have the same engine, graphics, etc of The Witcher 4.
At least we can get our Geralt fix that way
@@2Good2BeTrue45Not true
Playing Witcher without using Geralt feels like a crime
Games made it that way and I actually do prefer them. I'm nearly done with the books and I found Ciri was more of the main character than Geralt at times. In fact entire sections and the overall plot is about her.

Releases "Tech Demo Cinematic" to show off the graphics...
Uploads it in 1080...
Tech demo slop 😂
Completely overrated. Looks like Witcher 3 with better graphics. Nothings new, honestly where is the Gameplay? Where are real in Game scenes? I am tired of this CG, tech Demo stuff. Show me the real game!
"looks like witcher 3 with better graphics" that's what all games are 😂. If you waiting for some revolutionry new gameplay or fundamentals your not finding it with modern games, those days are over, you should have been born in 1980 to witness that stuff. Being born in 2010 you should be more than aware we have long been in the era of diminishing returns.
Well I was born in the end of the 80s, so I witnessed a part of gaming evolution. And you are right if you say, there won't be any kind of revolution. It's quite sad to say, that many publisher even won't try to make 'new things'. I guess it's because the profit of making money is more important than actually invite a pretty decent or interesting game. Besides the cost of making games are really exploding, which puts the publisher into position where they can't afford to make mistakes. But I think most of the commercial consumers are at fault, because they only want better graphics and some kind of Hollywood stories.
Wow, Ciri looks much much better compared to the last trailer. Glad to see devs taking fans' feedback into account
