As a 33 year old I'm looking forward to playing this when I'm 40.
Try 50
Fuckin real
Try 60
It will never come out. CDPR are inexperienced amateurs and will go bankrupt soon because almost everyone refunded Cyberpunk
Could have just said cant wait to play it in 7 years
They better not release this one until it's actually done.
Guess we will be waiting 25 years. Cause they had over a decade for Cyber Punk and it still didn’t work.
Fans better not send them death threats this time
EA released these broken unfinished games and still make billions of dollars every year: Battlefield 4, Battlefield 5, Battlefield Hardline, Battlefront 2, Mass Effect Andromeda, Anthem, Battlefield 2042, etc.
CD Projekt Red will do the same
@@exysa2798 rent-free.
@@exysa2798 there is a different between just releasing broken games and lie to the customers
Unreal Engine is just insane. Can‘t wait to see Witcher with this engine
yeah when u get old
like really older than now
Please, don't buy into the marketing hype. Epic is great at selling things. Now, I'm not in any way saying that Unreal Engine is a poor product. However, it has had some profoundly serious drawbacks over the years. It has been horrible at building open world games. Now with Unreal Engine 5, they have made significant changes with features like Lumen and World Partition. They are responding to that feedback. However, go and look at previous tech demos for Unreal Engine 4, and show me where we reached those high of highs. Development studios build custom engines, because the out of box solutions tend to be pretty designed around mainstream features that cover lots of diverse types of games. It's the common scenario of jack of all trades and master of none. It also puts Epic in the driver's seat about when you can use new features and technologies like RTX or Fidelity Super FX 2.0 or DLSS. Consider that 100% of lighting and shaders are then controlled by Epic, which is a blessing and a curse. Let's say their out of box solution for time of day doesn't suit your games needs. What are you to do? There is a marketplace of extensions, but they can't change the core features of the engine, so you have to wait for Epic to be more flexible in their controls. Selecting Unreal Engine isn't about opening up what you can do, it's about accepting what you won't be able to, and trying to fit your game in that box. The plus side, is that if you can accept all the drawbacks, you can build games much much faster.
Oh yeah let's start the hype to have another cyberjunk
@@rapidrabbit11485 dude what are you talking about, the engine is open source, that's means the code is available to anyone to do as they please...MK 11 uses a heavily modified version of Unreal Engine 3, I guess u didn't know that?..most AAA game studio can take unreal engine source and customize to for their projects...Hype??..u think unreal engine is all hype??..have u tried the engine??.. Have u played the Matrix Demo??..Have u open the Matrix Demo project files?...Hype??..dont be ridiculous
@@rapidrabbit11485 thats true, there was no open world game made with UE aside from that Matrix Demo.
Hopefully they learned not to give a release date until it's like 1 week from perfection
Was this really the problem? Yes. But it was also because they tried pleasing everyone and therefore made an empty role playing game.
Never. CDPR are inexperienced amateurs and will go bankrupt soon anyways because almost everyone refunded Cyberjunk
@@exysa2798 you’ve said that already and yet are commenting on another comment to get your point across please go learn something
@@joshher92 how about cd projekt learns something DON'T MAKE PEOPLE QUIT AND LEAVE
You gotta get people hyped for pre-order though. But it does need to be near perfect when released.
"Remember... No Pre-Orders"

No one will pre-order it after the Cyberpunk disaster. Everyone hates CDPR now.
@@exysa2798 clearly not everyone hates them...
As much as their RED Engine was beautiful, giving Cyberpunk one of the best looking cities and environments I’ve ever seen.. it was plagued with issues which like he says couldn’t be easily fixed and they were the only people in the world who could fix it. Now with Unreal Engine there are thousands and thousands of people who use it, also with Epic providing their own in house tech support if needed. This is undoubtably the best choice CD Red could have made in order for their next game to be a success both visually and technically. They made a big mistake last outing, but here’s to hoping these guys can continue to let us explore these wondrous worlds they create with less issues. I’ll be keeping my eye out.
It wasnt the engine, it was the little time they had to finish it being pushed by their sponsors. That engine takes RTX to a whole new level and is very capable.
@@floatingrabbit3556 little time they have to finish it? The game was announced in 2013.
@@diegomedina9637 Serious production didn't begin until middle 2016 after Witcher 3's last DLC was released. The devs thought the game wouldn't release until 2022 but corporate pushed for a 2020 deadline.
@@floatingrabbit3556 the Red engine was one of the main issues. The team had to constantly keep updating the engine just for it to run Cyberpunk 2077. The Red Engine wasn't made to handle a game like Cyberpunk 2077.
The Witcher 3 came out at release date as a masterpiece, look back at any review and people will barely mention bugs, but with Cyberpunk thats mostly what everyone was saying at release.
So they were able to release a full glorious looking game with The Witcher but could not with Cyberpunk, the reasons for that are more than "ow their engine was bad".
This collab is dangerous, might just become the best game ever made AGAIN
Very well indeed
Never
0:34 Damn, If the game looks like that and has that amazing Witcher story and characters this game will be heaven.
Cyberpunk Deja Vu
cmon man dont get roped in again
Man has dementia. Already forgot about Cyberpunk.
@@zippyparakeet1074 what makes you think this will be like cyberpunk?
@@dienekesn9312 might be, might not be. Point is to not buy into the hype 5 years before you see anything substantial again lol
everyone talk about how long this game gonna release but me just envy seeing those people work on something they loved.. they look so excited :(
Please CD projekt red just let your developers do the work on this one. You don't need marketing hype for a game like witcher we're gonna flock to buy it anyway!
Hype? No one gets hyped for The Witcher 4 after the Cyberpunk disaster. Everyone hates Cyberpunk and CDPR now.
@@exysa2798 Speak for yourself lol
@@exysa2798 lmao witcher name speaks for itself...sorry dude you are the only not hyped
@@exysa2798 huh? There is a huge hype, don't lie to yourself.
@@Nobody-xp6ip Same with gta 6
yeah this is definitaley a better option then having to worry about optimizing your own engine and then developing the game itself
Especially when you have to basically rewrite your DX11 game engine from the ground up to make it properly work with DX12 ..... If you don't you end up with .....Cyberpunk 2077 or AC Valhalla which are both buggy AF a year and a half later .....
@@longjohn526 Cyberpunk is not buggy a year and a half later.
Agreed, the main problem for witcher 3 and CP2077 is their troubled development on account of their own engine.
@@Scorpwind exactly. A year later bud. The game was when it launched tho
@@avl5214 It hasn't been a buggy mess since like patch 1.2.
They can finally focus on building an amazing narrative and game instead of stabilizing an engine AND developing a game at the same time, which didn’t end very well with Cyberpunk.
CD Projekt Red are inexperienced amateurs and will go bankrupt soon anyways because almost everyone refunded Cyberjunk. The Witcher 4 will never come out
@@exysa2798 thanks, my dinner needed a bit of salt
@@exysa2798 yes Amateurs with one of the highest critically acclaimed trilogy of games to ever release.
@@exysa2798
Inexperienced amateurs is a bit redundant.
@@exysa2798 lmao the refunds were minimal
Can't wait to play it when it's ready ☺️
CD RED, if you are reading this, take the same time, not less, for my fragile fan heart not too long ... the idea of this partnership needs to have in mind the creativity and freedom of ideas first, the graphics second, and last one of all the time of release, love the studio and the way that you been doing things, it comes from a place of admiration and fandom, thanks for all the effort.
Guido, from Argentina🤟
The Red Engine was no slouch, in fact it was outstanding. But what CDP's going to be able to pull of with Unreal is going to be mind blowing.
Developers still need talent to make it happen. Let's see if CDPR can redeem themselves.
You definitely do not know Red-Engine then.
amazing how only a couple years after Cyberpunk mess, people are already falling into the hype again. CDPR might release another mess with Witcher 4 and we'll have people hyped for their next game.
Amen
@@jac1207 clear as day you were never a fan and never played witcher 1 in 2009.
More Witcher yes please. Can't wait for Witcher 3 update to next gen
Please cd project red don't disappoint us like cyberpunk
Witcher next gen version was developed by Russian team, now they got cancelled and nobody know when it will come out.
@@GoldenPhoenixGaming source?
@@arindammishra2329 play now it will not disappoint
@@pablomulvihill He has no source, just talking s**t.
Saber interactive who did the Witcher 3 port for the switch is also developing the Next Gen version of Witcher 3 for current gen consoles and PC.
SLAMA!!! Miss this guy! Hope to see him in another GWENT Dev stream some day, just for fun!
CDPR needs to change their motto to “ready when it’s finished” we”ll wait
It was nearly a decade a go and look where they ended up.
"When it's ready to be finished."
@@furanduron4926 they weren't allowed to wait, and the actual development time was closer to 3-4 years before the release because they scrapped everything done before that
"Jason Schreier reported that the full development of Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t start until the end of 2016. This date marks the reset button of the project, where Cyberpunk 2077 publisher CD Project Red dumped everything they had done and started the development process all over again."
@@furanduron4926 stop spreading misinformation. They were making witcher 3 for most of the time. It was 4 years and 6 months.
Please, the thought of a 4th Witcher leaves me with anticipation thanks to 3, and hope to see it come about someday.
I’m yet to see a demo of UE5 with dense vegetation. Maybe this collaboration with CDPR can work both ways for the game and the engine.
Black myth Wukong? There some forests in the gameplay trailers
@@edward6749 That game doesn't exist.
vegetation hasn't changed at all with ue5, nanite doesn't work with transparency materials (foliage), so for now its just the same as ue4.
I've seen some forest demos, nanite can only be used on the ground layer
and the wind blowing
I'm excited for this. So much to explore and expand the work. It could take place beyond the dragon mountains. It could take place in the west. Or in Zerrikania
I'm excited
Can’t wait to play this when it releases on the ps9
Or on rtx 7090.
@@justaguy2023 jokes on you rtx 7090 exists but it's a server thing.
Really impressed by the high neck support on the chairs in the office…
Unreal engine is investing ALOT of money to make everything automated or as they say procedurally created.
This will help dev's spend more money on content and not assets
Unreal Engine is the skynet of games
I'm looking forward to the ND and decima engine they are always ahead of there time
Ah, Gwent in Unreal 5 about to be great.
Yes
10 years later
*Nods*
Jokes aside we would probably have an actual realtime gwent minigame within the ingame world (like dice in KCD) you see your own hands and opponent's hands
My little brother is in middle school now, he's gonna be so excited to play this when he graduates high school
UE5 going to be game changer the open world going to feel so alive and dense, im also looking forward to witcher 3 next gen upgrade 🔥
Don't forget one thing: they're the same guys who released *Cyberpunk 2077*
Feeling kind of skeptic about it.
Sure, Unreal 4 has great stuff, but it hasn't shown anything with high density vegetation that Witcher is famous for, and there is a charm and technical advantage in having your own engine and programming it to the game's specific needs.
Please cd project red
Don't disappoint us like cyberpunk
*Unreal 5
The tech demo was for showcasing Nanite and Lumen. Since Nanite didn't work for vegetation, there was no point in covering the demo up with it.
You can put as many trees into UE5 as you like.
they're using UE5 not 4
@@notnero5280 Just typed the wrong number.
@@arindammishra2329 You were only disappointed because rarely Projekt Red lied, it was just yt creators, putting thumbnails, exaggerating and mistranslating stuff
I’ll be coming back in a decade for this.
They really tried to sneak Cyberpunk in there at the beginning and hoped we wouldn’t notice…
Really hope they provide more RPG options and better combat depth and mechanics, my only real gripes with TW3. Adore the game to death, but those kinda felt flat most the of game.
Nvm also gear, school sets pretty much made all other armour as something to sell or breakdown.
Dude has a One Piece wallpaper at 0:58
Nice :)
Willing to play it @ 60yrs old
Man the long wait is come true
We need a Fallout: New Vegas remake with UE5. That desert environment looks gorgeous.
Yes!
With Slama, we can at least be sure the art team will be top tier. It's just incredible what their illustrators did in gwent.
witcher 4 needs finally needs dragons,flying mounts,bigger maps and more armor customization
Witcher 2 has dragons
Can't wait to play this game in the next 20+ years
Can’t wait to play this half finished game in the next 20+ years*

Just work on the game and show real gameplay when you have it. Let's not have your marketing team build up hype from the very outset for things you have not accomplished and might never accomplish like last time.
They're recruiting devs

Cool. No pressure, take your time with this one.
They're over here talking about their game running on a new engine, and yet I'm too distracted to even contemplate it because I'm exceedingly focused on the person with the One Piece wallpaper. 😂
this gen will truly be amazing in term of graphics, endless possibilities with unreal 5 and nowdays hardware.
Judging by their track record... Witcher 4 is going to run like crap on PS5 and Series X and somewhat playable on PS6 and whatever dumb name they pick for the next Xbox.
@@diegomedina9637 don't think so. Everything will be done with ps5 limitatiobs it's to big of a game to mess up.
@@deksasRipps you played cyberbug on consoles on release?
@@Bonebounder93 yes did few hours of playing ant afterwards bugs started to appear.
UE5 is really game changer. So many amazing new features it has. No wonder game studios are starting to move to UE5.
Yes, It's really not rocket science
Still can't beat Japanese game engines though
Ahhh, Hope to play it in 2030.
That first map looks like the one where Geralt and Avalach travel to from Novigraad
Didn’t they say it wasn’t a witcher 4? It is a new saga…
You have to put a name.
Dear CDP : "this time please leave the greed to others" Thank you
i'm so excited to see this news of witcher 4 using ue5.
I’m 27 yrs and I’m so excited to play this with my son in 2045
Thought they said they won't do a follow-up to Witcher
Fans demand always control the developers.
Honestly we don't praise engine devs enough. So many games that are great are possible due to them.
Press x to highlight the quest objective and ignore the dialog that told you what to look for, but in high fidelity!
I'm 25. Hopefully my grandkids will enjoy this game when it comes out.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hope it is not like cyberpunk
Hope more and more game dev's use UE5, the tech is 🔥🔥🔥

"expertise in open world" - yeah, right.
Love The Witcher series and love Cyberpunk. Can't wait for the 4th installment of the Witcher.
Me too
Okey now, we haven't seen anything about thegame yet, but I'm somehow so darn hyped
Can't wait to buy this game a year after it launched when it will eventually come to steam
Remember Cyberpunk? Truly a work by experts.
Because the engine was a huge mess, and why they're going with this.
CD Projekt Red are inexperienced amateurs and will go bankrupt soon anyways because almost everyone refunded Cyberjunk. Everyone hates CDPR
Yup cyberpunk really is the work of experts , cutting edge atmosphere , surface level world design, level design, character writing , character development , truly masterpiece
Heck yeah!!! love the series. omg thank you thank you
Witcher, 4 ! Can't wait to see it !
No lawsuits this time, guys. 😏👉👉
“CD Project Red are experts in open world game design”
That's sarcasm right?
You clearly hadn't played it.
Even though their games are great, they don't have very well constructed open worlds.
Yes. CD Projekt Red are inexperienced amateurs and will go bankrupt soon because almost everyone refunded Cyberjunk
go and play the witcher 3 and stop trying to get populiar in the comment section
sarcasm? u haven't even played witcher 3 or cyberpunk right?
imagine what video games will be like in 40 years
Cant wait for my horse to T pose and float into the sky....hyped!
We can discuss what engine should they use Red vs UE5 but in the end, the reason why we like these guys is that they make great games! Use whatever engine you desire guys, I'm looking forward to whatever you create next! :)
After Cyber Punk Please people do not pre order this game.. wait until you see it for yourself.
Man!! this is INSANE, Damn
That monster hunter note definitely was a call to get witcher to UE5
Most of the people in this video will have died before this game is released.
> CD Projekt Red are experts in open world game design
Sure. Sure.
CD Projekt Red are inexperienced amateurs and will go bankrupt soon because almost everyone refunded Cyberjunk 2077.
CANT WAIT !
As long as they release it when it's ready
Can they discuss their plans to actually make Cyberpunk the game they promised it would be?
U should replay it again before saying that. Its patched up so much now and way more playable
Another team is still working on the game CDPR aren't just 1 small group anymore
If they really give it their full attention they can finish this game with ue5 under 3,4 years maybe really hoping it doesnt be the next cyberpunk
Love u cdproject red no hate 🔥🔥🔥
It'll run surprisingly well.
It'll... well, run. Surprisingly.
Remember folks: DO NOT EVER EVER PREORDER NO MATTER HOW PROMISING THE GAME PROJECT LOOKS
After the whole cyberpunk dabacle im kinda scared for this tbf
Finally the Witcher 3 E3 demo will be achieved
Where is the Withcer 3 upgrade? Should start with that first
Kinda sad that Red engine simply dies but it's understandable better than becoming another Bethesda
Please merge both the worlds of 2077 and Witcher.. we want to see more funny bugs!!
All my chips are in. Time to wait 6yrs for the release.
Gotta love unreal engine 5. Very fun to use as well
Old team has left CD projekt, next Witcher will be max 7,5/10...
who exactly: anyone of significance?
Where did they go? What are they building?
@@TeaStallProduction many devs and director of Witcher 3 too.
@@saifer21 and many are still at CDPR
Wise decision. Their engine was not that great that's why it failed at cyberpunk, but UnrealEngine is battle tested with Injustice 2, Mortal Kombat 11, gears 5. I'm confident they won't have to deal with numerous technical difficulty as with using their inhouse engine
Ff7 remake was one of the best looking games on PS4 too
cyberpunk flopped because their time management was poor. they had somewhere around 4 years.
Im gonna wait until the reviews come out. They ain't gonna trick me again like last time.
