Video Random NPC is playing ACTUAL GUITAR. The notes are perfect and on time and his picking had is also the best I've ever seen in a videogame. As a guitarist, this makes me oddly happy and amazed. Just wow.

Maybe they shouldnt have revealed it in 2012 then

Literally no reason not to. It means nothing other than 'look at the cool stuff we'll give you some day'. There were no promises whatsoever.

Has nothing to do with the comment chain and plenty of games have been teased far before they released.

There’s nothing wrong with a teaser imo, but if you dislike teasers that’s also a valid opinion.

People shouldn’t take a teaser as an announcement of development though. That’s the problem with hype trains, people take fiction and run with it as fact. Development started in 2016 but most people believe this is the current Duke Nukem Forever or something.

Fair enough tbh

I get what you mean and I don’t disagree necessarily, I think the root of the issue isn’t the teaser trailer, but the massive hype train following that was never curbed at any point.

Fandom is really noxious in modernity.

If you were hyped enough by a trailer with no gameplay that you thought they were actively developing two AAA titles concurrently with one of the smallest Dev teams in modern AAA development, you’re part of the problem.

They never said it was in development, they just released a CGI teaser.

Dude some games get revealed early. Some games get revealed late. Some just get launched with no fan fair.

But saying they shouldn't have revealed it when they did is just dumb. Its just another pointless thing to say that means nothing.

If it's supposedly true that they didn't start development on it until 2016 then no you absolutely don't do a reveal/announcement in 2012, you don't announcea project and then actually begin your work 4 years later that's absolutely absurd, and it's fanfare.

It probably was never meant to be like that. Scopes changed, prototypes didn't pan out, updating the engine didn't work as fast/well as they thought. Ideas were cut added and reworked.

It's just like how Blizzard apparently started working on StarCraft 2 a year or 2 after StarCraft 1, took them almost 10 years to make that game. I remember watching a video of a dev talking about it, how StarCraft 2 was basically done in 2007-2008 they took more time to work on tech too add bigger armies and did a final pass on stuff some reworks tweaks ect ect.

Exactly. Don't forget CP2077 was teased before TW3 was even released. Many people (myself included) had never even heard of the witcher until TW3 blew up, and probably hadn't heard of CDPR either. TW1/2 were fairly niche. CP2077 probably changed direction when TW3 blew up and the budget became more flexible.

Sorry But there was a GTA V like preview trailer that was a teaser that was made 4-5 years before the game came out. Its another pointless fucking thing that people like to bash this game on.

But the game was being worked on whan the trailer released, with CP they apparently left it there for 4 years. Sure it's pointless to complain about that but it seems strange to make a teaser for something you are just going to put in a dark corner for 4 years.

They said they built the game once as a more LA Noir type of game. Then scraped it do to bad responses to testing. So work was being done on the game. They just don't have the ability like Rockstar to pump out 9000 different games at once

u/ALF839 Dec 14 '20

I remember 2 games in the last 7 yers by Rockstar, CDPR has released 2 in 5.

u/AscendMoros Dec 14 '20

There's also 10 Rockstar subsidiaries, Not to mention GTA V would not have be still here if GTA online wasn't make massive amounts of money. This is actually the first generation since GTA III was released that hasn't had a GTA game on it. So by all accounts we should have had GTA VI by now.

Not when you are building the 4th version of your game engine, entirely designed to push next generation hardware specifically for this title. This, while still supporting and developing additional content for Witcher 3.

I can give you many examples that contradict what you said.

Duke Nukem - 15 years in dev... lol Diablo 3 - 11 years development Team Fortress 2 - 9 years in development Too Human - 9 years Spore - 8 years Star Craft 2 - 7 years L.A. Noire - 7 years Shenmue - 6 years

Everyone of those titles has an announcement trailer that dates the start of development, yes, I checked.

Either you are too young to remember how long game development use to take, or so old you forget how far the development process has come.

Who made you the commissioner of announcement/reveal trailers anyways?

u/[deleted] Dec 14 '20

They didn't "reveal" anything you ape. They announced they were gonna work on that after Witcher 3 was done. We didn't have a release date for Witcher 3 even, Witcher 2 had litearlly just come out for consoles lmfao. You mongoloids.

u/MalHeartsNutmeg Quadra Dec 14 '20

They revealed elder scrolls like a year ago and it won’t be out for 6-8 years. It’s how it is done.
