      Not really medieval europe considering the Witcher is a fantasy series taking place in a world/planet that is colonized by Earth humans most likely thousands of years ago. But it is refreshing to see how CDPR have done their best to make the medieval aesthetic as colorful as it is back then unlike the Hollywood take where everything is gray and mud.

      @@hackergaming6372 The "ancient civilization" trope is not something new in fantasy genre. Witcher world dedicate entirely to the fantasy medieval style, with kings, empire, primitive weapons and magic, witchcraft. It has its own lore and It doesn't have any giant robots or space ships randomly pop up. It is not "real medieval" or "scifi", it is "fantasy", fictional.

      The strange part is how many regular humans in the Witcher universe are so cocky when it comes to conflict with a witcher. It seems like only other superhuman beings like mages, higher vampires, dragons, some relicts, and the few magical races (such as the Wild Hunt) would have any sense in showing such confidence.

      His name was Tybalt of Vengerberg. He was a member of the armed guard, he wasn't hired but merely participated in the entertainment. It's why he was allowed to stand near the King while the rest of the entertainment began because he was there to guard him. He was paid for this shit. but his resolve, and commitment didn't wane and still deserves to be commended. CD Project Red doesn't fuck around when it comes to characters, the two schmoe guardsmen also had names (Himsbach and Anselm). The Mage's name was Abelard of Hagge.

      Real time cinematics as good as this are certainly now achievable in-engine in quite a few games today (as a PlayStation guy I can only speak from my point of view). The aforementioned God of War engine can render this cinematic just as beautifully, Naughty Dog’s proprietary engine can also do it, but most of all the Decima engine that powered Death Stranding can absolutely achieve this, just take one glance at the cinematic brilliance Kojima was able to achieve with that game and you’ll see what I’m saying. All that said tho, all credit to CDPR for this awesome trailer, it’s really stood the test of time.
