- The Witcher 4 senior developer admits that he questions how to top the Witcher 3.
- But he thinks this is highly subjective, and some could like a title while others won’t.
- CDPR is using old The Witcher 3 philosophies with new tech for The Witcher 4.
The Witcher 3 is often considered the Holy Grail of RPGs. Featuring a breathtaking world, incredible narratives, and memorable characters, the game set the tone for the future games in the genre, and CDPR admits it wonders how they’ll top all that.
A senior developer on The Witcher 4 has admitted that he does think of how they can top The Witcher 3. However, most of the acclaim in those thoughts is subjective, and there is no mathematical way to assess this.
Why it matters: This is a question many fans ask, too: How will CDPR build on the legacy of its last title in the franchise? While the developers think about these things as well, they seem to have navigated through it.
Talking to GamesRadar, The Witcher 4 narrative director Philipp Weber talked about how people question on the internet about how the title will match the brilliance of the last one, and this is something he thought about as well.
I’m like ‘yeah, how are we going to do that (On topping the Witcher 3)?
– Philipp Weber
However, to focus on the matter at hand, Weber has managed to convince himself that the experience a person gets from a game is highly subjective. While one could absolutely love something, the other could hate it as well.
Nonetheless, the team wants to stick to the same formula they did with The Witcher 3. He says The Witcher 4 will be a great mix of the old philosophies combined with the new things they are trying, and it’s going to be great.
We saw a tech demo for The Witcher 4 last month, which was praised by everybody. If the final product does have the same quality as that, we are in for a visual treat, and about the narrative, CDPR has hardly ever failed to hit the mark.
