Ten Points For Gryphon Gore: The Witcher 3

Witchin' new footage

There are four main types of games likely to show up in the big E3 presentations. They are Men With Guns games, Men With Swords games, Men In Cars games and Men In Shorts games, and I seem to have drawn the longsword. Having just peeped at Dragon Age, I've now plucked The Witcher 3 out of the Enormous Hat O' Videos. It's a ridiculously impressive slice of in-game footage, suggesting that CD Projekt are either liars, extremely hard-working and talented, or from the future. Perhaps this sort of giant open world (actually seeming to deserve that tag) with mythical beast hunts is considered ordinary at E3 2025 but it looks damned impressive from 2014.

It may be a MAn With Swords game but it's the most interesting one likely to show its face at E3. Unless Sony really do have a Dark Souls III announcement.
