I don’t know if I’ve ever played a truly satisfying, well-rounded, story-driven, modern open-world RPG. Not fresh, per se, because all the ingredients have been lying around for ages - but those ingredients haven’t really been put together yet with much success. If they hold to the mission statement of bringing their unique brand of storytelling into an open world, though, I really do think they’re doing something new this time.
Just making really stellar, finely crafted RPGs, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Now, CDProjekt Red often likes to claim they’re innovating. I guess we already knew that, but now we’ve got screenshots to prove it, plus some (likely overblown) claims about what the game is actually going to play like.
Game Informer has informed us (Ha ha! Do you see what I did there? Surely I am the first to think of that clever wordplay.) that The Witcher 3 is like… a real thing.
