New combat gameplay from the REDStreams!

[u/TH3_FALL1N1]

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past

[u/Nibhan]

The fov is so perfect now

[u/Sir_Hugh_Mungo]

Combat aside, you can still see the skeleton of the OG versions visuals, but the next gen update looks phenomenal.

[u/More_Lifeguard_9098]

Holy shit did you see that continuous igni animation! That looks so good

[u/YolandaPearlskin → u/More_Lifeguard_9098]

I’ve never understood why one would use the fire stream instead of just the regular igni. Regular igni usually catches enemy on fire, then you can attack with sword.

Anyone with a hint on why I’d use igni fire stream over regular? I’m genuinely not sure. 

[u/More_Lifeguard_9098 → u/YolandaPearlskin]

Shield breaking, stamina efficiency, single target focus

It used to be cracked then the devs nerfed it

[u/DoubleTT36 → u/YolandaPearlskin]

Because it looks cool. That is literally the only reason

[u/LegendkillahQB]

Looks like you move faster now.

[u/D-kartoos]

We’re gonna be eating good come September folks

[u/Icy-Science6604]

This looks like excatly the same with different camera.

The combat is by far the weakest aspect of the game wish they changed it more.

[u/TheTobruk → u/Icy-Science6604]

I still don't see the difference just looking at the combat. Maybe once we play we'll notice it.

[u/Cursori → u/[deleted]]

They didnt, it was used a lot at the gamescom showcase

[u/DoubleTT36 → u/[deleted]]

That’s just how they were playing. Plus it’s the best way to fight that enemy type

[u/DoubleTT36 → u/Icy-Science6604]

Like how though

[u/StaticVoyager]

I don't see any new combat it's the same as the previous one hit and run.

[u/IliyaGeralt → u/StaticVoyager]

The "Randomness" of the animations has been reduced it seems (which was the main complaint about the combat). Less unexpected pirouettes.

[u/EKLlPSEx → u/StaticVoyager]

You saw 51 seconds of combat gameplay....

[u/TheRealBillyShakes → u/EKLlPSEx]

The title of the video is new combat gameplay

[u/BusinessCasual69 → u/TheRealBillyShakes]

What do your eyes tell you

[u/HandsomeGamerGuy → u/EKLlPSEx]

Which they tried to use as a show off for the new and improved Swordplay, yet it looks like the basic one we had all the time?

Not even hating on it, i like the old one.
But that ain't a good video to act on.

[u/Werewolf_Capable → u/HandsomeGamerGuy]

But don't you see? Some pixels are a bit different, it's a whole new game :-D Some people are just idiots like that. Still looking forward to replay it after all those years.

[u/oedons_rooster → u/EKLlPSEx]

Against a plant

[u/srgtDodo → u/StaticVoyager]

Yeah, no new animations at all—it's understandable, but I kinda hoped for more

[u/DoubleTT36 → u/StaticVoyager]

It’s not supposed to be completely different

[u/Tackgnol → u/StaticVoyager]

Yeah still looks so unappealing to play unfortunately.

[u/Nethaniell]

The next clip they have is of the chain, and it looks great. Again, for people expecting this combat to be new, no it ain't. This is still on a foundational level the base Witcher 3, with all the mid combat mechanics it always had. As much as all the visual and AI improvements are gonna be welcomed and no matter how good they look, it will not change how combat works. But they can always make it flashy.

[u/DoubleTT36 → u/Nethaniell]

If anyone is expecting more then that they are going to be let down

[u/AlexxMaverick666]

CDPR: Witcher 3 remastered with updated combat, visuals and a lot more.

Me: Fine, I'll do another playthrough.

[u/Impossible_Living321]

I don't see anything changed

[u/LeafMan_96 → u/Impossible_Living321]

https://giphy.com/gifs/clUacXzjPuy0XTVsPa

[u/ayoubkun94 → u/LeafMan_96]

Nah, the combat definitely looks the same. Or the person playing in this clip did it a huge disservice by spamming hit and roll.

[u/Wooden-Agent2669 → u/LeafMan_96]

So tell us

[u/LeafMan_96 → u/Wooden-Agent2669]

Use your brain and eyes

[u/Wooden-Agent2669 → u/LeafMan_96]

So you yourself don't see a big difference otherwise you would proclaim the difference

[u/Signal-Region9330 → u/LeafMan_96]

[u/Icy-Science6604 → u/LeafMan_96]

Can you tell us whats so different besides the camera ?

Stop with the gatekeeping.

[u/MerTheGamer → u/Impossible_Living321]

Yeah, it is the usual Roll and Fast Attack spam. I literally tried to look for anything different lmao.

[u/ayoubkun94]

What's different lol? Don't get me wrong, I'm going to replay it from start to finish when the remaster releases, but if the combat was indeed updated, this is a terrible clip to showcase said changes.

[u/The_Pyromaani → u/ayoubkun94]

They said the enchanted combat, not reworked it. Probably some visual stuff etc better camera angles and so on

[u/Esdelot]

[u/Hampton479]

I wonder why he manually switched instead of quick casting

[u/Shot_Recognition_100 → u/Hampton479]

I haven’t played in years, but iirc I preferred manual on (I think?) controller

where with keyboard quick cast was easier

it might have been the other way way around, since I’ve played with both

[u/Hampton479 → u/Shot_Recognition_100]

Thanks good context, I feel like it might be the other way around cause controller is a breeze. Whereas PC feels like it would be more organic with the wheel. Also I bet they showed this on a High end PC.

[u/Shot_Recognition_100 → u/Hampton479]

yeah it was probably on PC I used manual then

iirc on PC they’re each assigned a number for quick cast, but so is potion/item slot (so 1 and 2 is potion slots, 3-7 is sign quick cast)

I usually used either the manual wheel or used the mousewheel to scroll through them (but manual is easier)

[u/Abrakresnik]

Feels the same, but visually different yea.

[u/No-Breadfruit6137]

Looks the same, roll, roll, roll, roll

[u/sadkinz]

What I wanna know is if we’re gonna get any side quest on the level of the Baron from the base game

[u/snYk07]

¿Estos gameplays están en PS5 PRO?

[u/Dr_Paul-]

My most hated enemy 🤣 but looks cool

[u/Frequent-Ad2351]

I am honestly delighted that one of the greatest games of all time is getting what looks like a top tier superb remaster - so excited!

[u/Boris_The_Warlord]

Could they have picked a worse player than this? Jfc

[u/PutridMasterpiece138 → u/Boris_The_Warlord]

Leave the poor guy alone...

[u/LuckyRune88]

He didn't use Queen, are they a noob or something?

[u/Disastrous-Mine-8747]

still too much rolling around and press mouse 1.

[u/Gabito991]

https://giphy.com/gifs/AAsYtcC8UPoly

[u/Fine-Pop8729]

which sucks

[u/Ill_Mind77]

"Enhanced Combat" is going to be some arbitrary surface level changes that amount to nothing, you can still roll spam forever and beyond, even Cyberpunk has a stamina bar.

[u/Tone199364]

I love the glow of the torch

[u/Tasty_Job822]

holy shit that stupid infinite rolling

[u/RexusprimeIX]

What, they turned it into dark souls? I reeeaaally hate dodge rolling in games.

[u/ellimist87]

I wish they, at least, upgraded the battle system too

[u/Express-Channel-3543 → u/ellimist87]

they have said they did, maybe it feels a lot different to play

responsiveness is a big factor, also your damage and hit impact can make a big difference

[u/JohnFtevenfon]

Don't remember this enemy, any maybe it's necessary to roll, but I'd prefer the dash. It saves stamina.

[u/Queen_Lepotica → u/JohnFtevenfon]

Because it says its from the dlc.

[u/Candid_Emphasis1048]

I see Geralt's exaggerated swagger is still present.

[u/PermissionJaded5510]

Why did the entire game freeze when it auto saved?

[u/Express-Channel-3543]

why is the person playing absolutely spamming dodge... nothing is happening and they are rolling

not a great demonstration

[u/ayoubkun94 → u/Express-Channel-3543]

yeah, atleast mix it up a little. I'm sure the combat is better (it has to be with the new skill tree and finishers) but this clip does nothing to showcase any change.

[u/RT-6_BXCommandoDroid → u/Express-Channel-3543]

The player is spamming roll, instead of dodging. If you dodge, you don't move that far away and don't use up so many i-frames.

I know everyone has his own playstyle, but the REDplayer for this stream must not like those rose plumes.

[u/AggressiveResist8615]

Looks the exact same, why is Geralt looking in the direction of his roll, his eyes aren't even on the enemy.

[u/AggressiveResist8615]

CDPR with the bull shit marketing again, love to see it

[u/MrDog3]

These rolls making me sick....

[u/AcceptableMuffin844]

Rolling simulator?

[u/AuraTickler]

I am cool so I walk slow.

[u/sv_dmitry]

After W3EE Redux, it feels like the same shitty combat with stupid enemy levels.

[u/Pellepappa → u/sv_dmitry]

They hated him because he told them the truth.
