So the trailer came out, ex witcher devshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DauErLT3OH0Thoughts?
>>3696168Apparently east slav cucks can never create new, only copy existing things.
>>3696184All art is derivative
>>3696168>cutscene cutscene cutscenecompletely fucking pointless. no gameplay no idea what the fuck its like
>>3696185Cuckold take
>>3696168>mfw goddamn mongoriansampled track they used does worry me, though
>>3696168I didn't expect to be interested at all, but that's a damn good trailer. Is the writer from witcher as well?
>>3696168>ex witcher devs>called themselves "Rebel Wolves"holy cringe...still, i'm so hard up for vampire games i hope it's good
>>3696168I hope you get to be a wizard hemomancer like the vampire in the trailer and are not relegated to swords
Looks like generic Ubishit with some dark souls sprinkled in. Lame.
>>3696344Nah, it looks like knockoff Witcher. New Assassin's Creed games were obviously trying to copy that in the first place.
>>3696184The Witcher itself is just an edgy subversive take on fairy tales.
looks cool but it just seems like they took the source code of the witcher and shat it back out with a vampire motiff
>>3696378And why is that bad?
>>3696168Meh. Action games are universally shit. Also not an rpg.
>>3696390mechanically, TW3 was lackluster in every department
>>3696378>they took the source code of the witcherThey cannot possibly have done that>different engine>they don't own the source code and would get sued over it even if it was the same engineIt looks similar because the artistic direction is meant to be the same
>>3696404it's not that hard to carry over code, you just make similar systems and that's about it. it won't be 100% the same, of course, I wasn't being literal about the source code stuff but it probably will play and feel the same
>>3696168>From the director Witcher 3>3D R O P P E DROPPED
>>3696241why do you think it's sampled?
>>3696371No nigger it's a copy of Eldric. The writer of Witcher was the translator in Polish.

>>3696185All derivations are not equivalent. Some cultures are dead inside.
>>3696823Like the English
>>3696825Most of the Old World.
>>3696211>NOOOOO >YOU HAVE TO BE HYPED ABOUT A CINEMATIC!1
>>3696168>ex witcher devsso another moviegame with a mary sue MC, shit combat, and just a couple of interesting quest in a sea of ubislop question marks?NahHard pass
>>3696820...are you retarded? Sapkowski translated science-fiction novels. In communist Poland sci-fi was the leading genre in fiction, with fantasy slowly gaining momentum at the tail end of the 80s.
>>3696333>I hope you get to be a wizard hemomancerI'm guessing the player character is somehow special, to allow character progression towards magic and shit
>>3696888>I'm guessing the player character is somehow specialBold prediction for an RPG. Let’s see how it turns out.
>>3696888>>3696900The main character worked in a silver mine and was dying of silver ore aidsSo when he got the vampire aids the two aids cancelled each other out and now he's half human half faggot
Do Polish nerds identify with monster/broken men or something? There seems to be a theme with their protagonists.
>>3696908Give it a second and you'll realize it's common everywhere
>>3696908i identify with Kot Gacek
>>3696965
>>3696966KOT
>>3696872This is supposedly the team that made criminally overlooked Thronebreaker. Sadly, I think a generic "third-persion action RPG" is the only way to A) secure big enough budget and B) get enough sales for investors to care.
>>3696966kot uliczny
>A new game from the creators of Cyberpunk2077holy shit how do i pre-order this i need this
>>3696820there's no way anybody who's actually read elric (that's how it's actually spelled) could find a single molecule of resemblance between geraldo and elris outside of the character having white hair and a swordit's simply impossible. you have either never read elric or are just shitposting.sapkowski has more in common with zelazny or dumas than moorcock and what ties him to them is more like imitation than plagiarism
>>3696966Based kot
>>3696961I gave it quite a bit of time, I realized it isn't.
>>3697013I have read both, and I think the similarities go beyond what you have mentioned.Both Elric and Gerald are somewhat cynical loners (most of the time).Both rely heavily on some potions - Elric needed them to walk even, at least before he got his sword. Also, both are "gishes" - i.e. swordsmen with magic, though proportions are different.Both are viewed with distrust due to noticeable physical differences (for Elric these are due to race).Both are, in a sense, the last of their kind (one of the last witchers/one of the last melnibonians or how they were called).Don't take me wrong, the characters are very different overall, but there was I think an inspiration/influence.
>>3697110Alucard comes to mind, since vampires
>>3697122Did you not understand my initial post? It's about the ubiquity.
>>3696908Slavs like grimderp frowning white dude protags because it makes them look macho and not gay.
>>3697121okay i concede mostly, i forgot about elric's potions which are a pretty unique trait (even though the potions get discarded pretty quickly for both characters). being cynical is hardly unique. the other two are also sort of a reach but when taken with the others do indicate sapkowski drew on elric when designing geraldohowever sapkowski's wiriting style is so completely different from moorcock, that there's no case for calling the witcher books a copy of the elric stories.
>>3697305>The writing style is differentNo shit sherlock. They are written in very distinct languages and you've read translations of at least one of them.The similarity to me is more highlighter in other characters than the protagonists. Mostly because Gerald is very generic.
>>3697324>the difference in style is due to the difference between the polish and english languagei don't think i've ever read a more retarded opinion on anything in my entire life to be honest. i'm gonna leave the thread now, you get to have the last word, so make it good.
>>3696966It looks like this was removed from google maps?
>>3697330>okay i concede mostlylmao, what a bitch.
>>3697126>why polish like tropeit's common>no it's notvampire hunter d>noooo u don't understand it's about ubiquityOh okay
I think it's slop. It feels like marvel movie. The tragic backround thing is a cheap trope and the gamer joker vampire's monologue is extremely cringe-worthy.
>>3697444what actually said:>why polish only make tropeenglish is hard for pollacks
>>3697499>>why polish only make tropePoles also made Call of Juarez, Dead Island, Superhot and other games
>>3697523why poles not make rpg?
>>3697541>why poles not make rpg?all rpg talent is busy modding gothic 2
>>3696168I´m interested. Time should be relevant on vampire games. That said 30 days seems to fall a bit on the short side.
>>3697728Time only progresses on x quests completed independently from actual time so it really depends how many quests make up a day and a night
>>3697718germans always fuck poles...
>>3696908>>3697110Well, idk about monster but dark, sometimes broken, broody man is unironically a common archetype.I mean off the top of my head there's comic characters like Batman, Punisher, Rorschach and Guts. Then there's that guy from Blade Runner, and Drive.basically every redpill "Literally Me" character zoomers love watching edits of seem to fall into such a category.
>>3698523rpgs?
>>3697730This is the bit that makes me interested. Hopefully this means that there is enough quest variety and choices of what to do to make multiple playthroughs worth it.
