Earlier this month, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:we all thought we were getting 🥃ouꦗr first look at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Witcher 4's gameplay. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:CD Projekt Red had to step in and ꦗsay it was just a tech demo, showing off what the team is playing around with as it works on the long-awaited sequel.

Since then, the devs have tried to get us to adjust our expectations. We've already heard that 60fps on console, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:especially Xbox Series S, is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:far from guaranteed at this stage. And now, we're being told not 🦋to expect the final game to look like the tech demo, as the visuals might take a hit too.

The Witcher 4 Might Look Quite Different From The Tech Demo

This comes from Jan Hermanowicz, engineeri🌌ng and production manager a🐷t CDPR, who discussed The Witcher 4's tech demo with .

"We too꧋k a lot of lessons from the Cyberpunk launch," says Hermanowicz. "We're not calling this gameplay, we're not pretending that this is the ac𓆉tual game. It is a technological demo."

This refers to how CDPR misrepresented the state of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Cyberpunk 2077 prior to its launch. Features that had been shown off in trailers and gameplay reveals were nowhere to be found, and acr🦩oss the boa💎rd, the quality of the game had taken a hit by launch day. Now, Hermanowicz says that the team wants to be "extremely transparent".

That involves admitting that what we saw in the demo is "not an actual game, or gameplay". Furthermore, the final game might not use the assets that we saw in the demo, although they are assets that are bei𝓀ng w♍orked with right now.

On that note, we're told 🎐that what we saw in both the reveal trailer during The Game Awards and the tech demo represents CDPR's "current approach" with The Witcher 4.♋ That might change, or it might not.

We won't know for sure until we get closer to launch (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:whenever that ends up being) and CDPR has somethinꦦg to𓄧 show off that is, hopefully, more indicative of the final game.
