Is the Witcher 2 on open world RPG??

[gksauer]

i was under the impression that it would be open world like skyrim, or fable, but so far i havnt seen anything of the sort. am i just not far enough into the game or is it not open world. Will i ever get to free roam and do cool ♥♥♥♥?

No, it's hub and act based. It's not an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game. You play a set character in a set world that you can change with your decisions.

The Witcher 3 on the other hand, will be fully open world. CDPR said something like 35X the size of TW2's game world.

dang well its still fun. but ive seen the screen shots of witcher 3, there is no way that i will be able to play that, i cant even run witcher to on medium graphics without lag

I would think they would have to lower the graphics a bit to make a world that large, so we will see.

[Grimminski]

Maybe not, depends on how they optimize it and how the game loads things.

They spent a LOT of development time and money building an entirely new engine for TW3, so I'm betting they can definitely uphold their standards in both graphics and storytelling while giving us a more open world to explore. Only thing that worries me a little is what I heard about combat being "sped up" That's often hype speak for "Dumbed down into oblivion."

It's not really new, just upgraded. Think Frostbite 2 -> Frostbite 3 or Gamebryo -> Creation. Same basic tech just tweaked to suit the games needs.

eh. close enough. :P

oh God... I'm not that sure it's safe move to get a game world THAT large... I fear it will be too much dispersive, and the story may be forgotten while roaming for too long... or that eventually the REAL story would be only in few places and the free roaming won't have much sense out of seeing things...

Well, the whole story of The Witcher 3 is going to be Geralt travelling to all of these places while tracking The Wild Hunt. He's also a Witcher and always in need of money so the side quests would make sense. It won't play any differently than an Elder Scrolls game, unless they add a time limit on quests ala Dead Rising.

From what I heard, there WILL be zones that will require a certain level/etc to not die horribly. So the entire area isn't accessible from the start. So there will be some nudging direction in an open world. let's just hope it doesn't turn into "there's a lot of room to explore, but we're going to railroad you into most of the story and make the whole world accessible only once you've got most everything already." That would suck.
