00:00The guys behind The Witcher franchise just showed us some brand new footage for The Witcher 4,
00:04and while it looked absolutely amazing and everyone is flipping out,
00:07there were some important things people completely missed about this reveal.
00:10So, let's break it down.
00:12First and foremost, I cannot stretch it enough that what we have seen was running in 60 FPS
00:16on a base PlayStation 5 with ray tracing on,
00:19but it was not necessary gameplay from The Witcher 4.
00:22As confirmed multiple times by the developers,
00:24the footage was specifically designed for the Unreal Tech demo
00:28and might not by any means reflect on the finished product.
00:31This could be similar to early Cyberpunk previews
00:33that showed off a lot more density in the city than in the actual game.
00:37And while the game might or might not look worse than this reveal,
00:40the purpose was to feature the vision of the development team and the target they want to reach.
00:44It's super stunning as it is,
00:46and today's tech definitely can make such a lofty vision possible,
00:49but nothing is guaranteed, so don't get your hopes up too high.
00:52I would at least expect parts of the wonderful-looking town
00:55and its surroundings becoming part of the final game.
00:57What about you?
00:58Were you impressed by this tech demo,
01:00and how do you like the new horse called Kelpie that was introduced?
01:03Let me know in the comments.
