While this is definitely real-time and in-engine, it’s so heavily scripted and such a small vertical slice of the game that it can’t be used as a representation of the final game at all. CDPR have learned nothing from Cyberpunk and Witcher 3 launches, it seems.
ETA: CDPR have clarified that this isn’t The Witcher 4 but the way they speak about the features demonstrated makes me think that wasn’t their original intention when showing this on stage and that they’re already trying to walk some of it back.
So they should omit the tech demo because people can’t read? Nah. And what was wrong with the Witcher 3‘s launch? Is this about the color grading again?
They’ve come out and said specifically this is a tech demo in the world of the Witcher 4 but its not actually witcher 4 the game. As in, they’re showing off the new tech, like foliage nanite.

Calling it a „tech Demo“ already made their initial intention pretty clear: this is not the game, this is some tech we‘ll be using.
But here’s the thing. People will interpret it that way, lose their shit and empty their wallets the moment they can based on media like this.

I’m not blaming CDPR on that fact but the user.
