Creating The Sound - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Official Developer Diary

[@CarpeDiemKim]

The Witcher 3 should have won the Best Soundtrack award at TGA. They gave it to MGSV just out of nostalgia from the 80's and 90's tracks they bought license to use in the game, but what work did they actually had to put together that soundtrack? Not to mention they weren't even in the actual game, you had to listen to their cassettes buried on a menu. Anyways, The Witcher 3 original soundtrack is far better in my opinion. ''Percival - Silver is for Monsters'' is my favorite.

[@namelessjuan4696]

Agreed

[@felixgarstka]

the soundtrack is better than the last 4 Call of Duty games

[@ahmedibrahim5039]

[@ahmedibrahim5039]

+Ahmed Ibrahim better*

[@CarpeDiemKim]

Ahmed Ibrahim Well you're a guy with Venom Snake on the profile pic. Tell me this, what work did they put in the soundtrack? None, they simply bought the license to a lot of 80's and 90's hits. Only a handful were original music.

@@vaisakhchandranb241 I think that'll be a problem with almost all companies...maybe part of the reason why CDPR is so good is that it pushes its developers to give in as much dedication they can. No, I'm saying work to the point of a breakdown, which of course is bad. And that hard work is the reason why their games are so fucking amazing. I also think that part of the reason is for putting some pressure is that people have such sky-high expectations from them and just ONE single mistake is enough to ruin their reputation. Goes for all companies, btw. Its just that CDPR has been dragged into the spotlight more and more often because of the huge sky-high hit that is called 'Witcher 3' in the common tongue, and media and companies are just bracing and standing and waiting to pounce at them at even the littlest news...

Also, they're being criticised and attacked for bad things in Cyberpunk that literally every other company does on a regular basis...

There are games like Witcher 3 which give us tenfold content,immersion,enjoyment that they promised and then there's No Man's Sky.

[@Grybhaal_Daublebach]

No Man's Sky isn't THAT bad. Sure, it was toted as being more than it is, but that's more the media's fault. Hell even Sean Murray said it wasn't a good game in an interview before the game launched. I think too many people bought their tickets to the hype train before they knew where it was going.

[@ask_carbon]

No man's sky is all about the false speculation created by the devs and the community filling the gaps,but it falls to the devs to intervene and correct the community without making false assertions. Consider EA's battlefront they did clarify early on that they didn't include a single-player campaign and still that game got a lot of heat,unlike sean murray who advised players "not to spoil themselves by watching live streams" just to hide what they hid from the community for years on to create a false hype and that 60$ price tag is absolutely criminal considering the repetitive content they offer. If you have a small,inexperienced dev team you have no excuse to mislead, false advertise.(I have a i5 6600k and a 1070 and this game shutters like hell )

[@Grybhaal_Daublebach]

+FLUFF While you aren't wrong, and I do agree with you for the most part, I bought No Man's Sky simply to fuck off in space and explore some planets and I'm having enough fun doing that. I'm not trying to defend Hello Games or Sean Murray, but I don't think the game is awful. It's not great, but I didn't buy it looking for the next AAA experience. As for the performance of the game, I'm playing on PS4 and I've only played probably like 20 hours or so but I honestly haven't have many if any technical issues but I haven't played it for an extended period of time either.

No other game to date has that. And also guess what, HAS NO FUCKING DENUVO or other stupid piracy protection and they still made shitton of money even though im sure millions have pirated the game.

I always make the songs sound better by adding what sounds smooth and pleasing to the ear. also I don't know how to read any music. so I know this is the main reason why the music in this game feels so powerful and amazing. it comes from their true passion and the awesome music just flows

The more I learn about these guys, the more amazing it is to me that they're completely independent. If these people can pull this shit off, there's no excuse for other indie devs trying to serve you hot sick on a plate and still expect to be paid.

[@Thughtbhgg]

First of all, Cd Projekt red, while independent, still have a shit ton of money and funding, as well as a massive amount of employees. this is a AAA title, no matter what you say otherwise. and "shitty indie games" is something that ignorant fools like yourself use, with the main examples being no mans sky and steam green light. Most indie games consist of devs in the single figures working their hearts out to produce a game. The hot sick on a plate games are scammers cobbling together unity assets and selling it as a game. Do your fucking research.

[@Grybhaal_Daublebach]

basil Sharkey Calm down there, Little Bill. Of course CDPR has a ton of money, and no, I don't expect all indie devs to produce AAA games like this. My point is that most indie devs these days are literally making shit and trying to sell it. Now, there's plenty of them doing proper work i.e. Compulsion Games, Heart Machine, the Molasses Flood, and plenty other. But when you've got engines like CryEngine, Unreal 4, or even fucking Unity there's absolutely no excuse for making a pixelated mess. There a huge difference between artistic expression/art style and laziness and these days it seems to be the latter. Not to mention you can tell when a game is a labor of love or a bastard child.

[@Grybhaal_Daublebach]

basil Sharkey And No Man's Sky is far more of a quality title than literally 90% of indie games on the market right now, so you may as well throw that example out the window.

[@Thughtbhgg]

Ah, No Man's Sky. I have not personally played this game, so i cannot judge on the quality, only on the gameplay videos and reviews i have read/watched. The main problem people have with No Mans Sky is the content they were promised or that was hinted at, and then either cut out or only partially included, eg. multiplayer, different classes and play-styles, massive space battles, story, etc. this is unacceptable. and yes, other games have done this, like Bioshock Infinite and Mass Effect among many, but No Mans Sky has been slammed because it WAS a sub-par game for most players. PLUS, you can hardly count it as an indie game since they had a massive budget as well as funding from Sony. Also, have you even looked at any of the Indie games on the market right now? No Mans Sky doesn't hold a candle to most of these, (Furi, Inside, Abzu and Kentucky Route Zero ep.4 are the most recent i can think of). Not only that, but as i stated in my first comment, The hot sick on a plate games are scammers cobbling together unity assets and selling it as a game. They are the scammers you are talking about. "pixelated messes" are pixelated because THAT IS THE ART STYLE, not because the dev decided to push out the game early in exchange for graphical quality and so they could grab your money and run. as well as that, many indie games are not pixelated, (see above), and take years of development. Yes, Hello Games is a small studio of around 15, but that doesn't justify the lies that Sean Murray fed us, and the boring and repetitive gameplay. Anyways, that's just my two cents.

[@Grybhaal_Daublebach]

basil Sharkey I agree with you for the most part, but these days it seems that 8 and 16-bit graphics are on the rise in indie games because relative to working in 3D with UDK or Unity it's much easier. But there's a point when there's devs using these styles to accomplish as little as possible with the insane amount of resources available. I'm going to use Hyper Light Drifter as an example. I don't know if you've played it, but for its 16-bit art style it has an impeccable amount of detail in the environments whereas others are just bland; like they didn't try very hard. As for scammers stealing Unity assets, I don't worry about that too much cause I play on console so there's not as much of that going on, but more low quality independent games than quality ones.

the weather changing sounds just 10/10!!!!!!!!!

[@mostafaelkady192]

Does anyone know where I can find a video for that concert where they play the game's music ? Something like the part found at 3:04 It's FMF 2016 but I haven't been able to find any good videos of it.

[@XxamorOo]

where to find that Orchestra music videoo!!!!

[@bartekbajan2252]

XxamorOo percival schuttenbach

[@dhruvbhatnagar4180]

the attention to deal is just... mind blowing !!! My favorite game hands down

[@devinbarnum7698]

I'm in love with Joanna Lacher from Percival. Just sayin!

[@withywoods]

Those vocalists are my fave. They take tracks like Aen Seidhe and Silver for Monsters to a whole new level. Outstanding work on the soundtrack and soundscape for this game.

[@Jackal3210]

3:02 where can i see the full concert?

[@tomaszgie509]

The Witcher 3 - Wild Hunt Concert (1080p).mkv Download it or buy it. Anyway it's excellent.

[@Madalin.Ciobanu]

3:47 im in love

[@arthuriuss7133]

THE BEST GAME EVER MADE (NOT PERFECT BUT IS THE BEST OF ALL TIMES)

[@ServantofBaal]

The sound track alone and what they did to make it happen -no corners cut- is enough reason for me to trust CD Projekt Red titles. The amount of life they breathed into the Witcher series is amazing, and Wild Hunt was certainly an achievement

[@竹声声声]

I'd love to see where the sound from love scenes comes from xD

[@jannisbmrt]

ouy zac I think they actually hired a couple for all these things

[@竹声声声]

Jannis Baumert that's cool

[@MrCow579]

all sex scenes are made with real humans :p

[@duracotton]

The recordings are on of the clearest and crispiest ones I've ever heard! Congratulations to that! The three-dimensionality is also very awesome with headphones on.

[@volo7]

Holy fuck.. NEVER have i been so attached to a game before since halo 3 that i read the last wish, sword of destiny, and blood of elves in one damn week. Cant stop reading about the witcher world

[@aledthomas9403]

I've been playing games since I was 4 years old and I'm now 22. Over those years I've played and completed countless games from many different genres, so you know I don't say this lightly- The Witcher 3 might just be the greatest game I've ever played. Now I can't wait to see what they have in store for us with Cyberpunk 2077, being a fan of the source material much like the Witcher.

[@xveplzz8406]

This game is a masterpiece. From music to level design and characters it's just perfect. Can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077

[@thekillingduck]

Bruh...

[@carluy7351]

these soundtracks trigger an unknown emotion i didnt know i had until know. a mix of longing, exitement, sadness, and a dash of adrenaline... this game is truly an art. a masterpiece formed by so many a hand... relatable character arcs, detailed graphics, immersive gameplay, consequential choices, and scary monsters all clumped to make a game never comparable to any other. The Witcher: Wild Hunt 3. Good Job Poland. You make me wanna be Polish now. lololol

[@blackjack-lz1hh]

Wait for me Witcher 3, I am coming for the 4th time.

[@respergu13]

So much talent behind this awesome game !!! Looking forward to play more games from this company CD PROJECT RED!

[@MarcusFenixD]

Huge respect for everyone involved in this masterpiece

[@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi]

someone is cutting onions in my room

[@Kubasaaaaaaaaa]

I wanna thank you for this great adventure with the most amaizing soundtrack ever. Ty CDP. Ty everone involved in creating this game. Kuba from Poland

[@mateuszwiacek8011]

3:40 pls

[@elneir0]

5:43 Hanna Kubiak definitely makes me wanna go to Poland and get a polish wife

[@geraltvonriva9873]

i played nearly over 50 rpgs after the witcher. nothing even comes close to this absoulte masterpiece. love you CD Projekt red. on my 8th gameplay now ;).

[@sergeontheloose]

I am in love with Hanna Kubiak :)

[@bertdutchie]

More devs need to be like CD Projekt. So much love and passion in their game. So much content! I don't think I'll ever get through everything in this game!

[@airmech1985]

Watching this just confirms that this is probably the best game ever made.

[@SuperNovaPL]

Anybody knows where I can find Brandenburg State Orchestra playing main theme thats at 0:37?

[@ViralWatchMedia]

Who else went and played The witcher 3 after watching this? i know i am, gonna be up till 3AM lol.

[@NikkoKnight703]

didn't get to experience this gem until late 2019, one of the est games i have ever experienced and i cannot wait until Punk'

[@cookieslammer6411]

Why am I crying???!!!!

[@TheRealBBC22]

This really makes me appreciate the sounds and music of the game even more.

[@ps3dubbs]

Memories... Oh sweet memories. What a game. Pity a Witcher 4 wont be made.

[@Birdywalker]

I think they would get bact to the series at some point. Maybe with a new witcher

[@adrianhoward-larsen2291]

some things are better left untouched

[@89FellaBig]

I think there will be a Witcher 4, not anytime soon though.

[@Who-Uhm-Cares]

Maybe. I doubt they wouldn't make one since the possibility in the next 3-4 years would be amazing for the Next Witcher game. I have a feeling after CyberPunk releases we will get a confirmation.

[@zyla2001]

Maybe Cdproject red wont made Witcher 4 but Andrzej Sapkowski want to write new Witcher book

[@oonit]

These people and the whole CD Projekt Red have all my respect all of it.

[@ironsharkpa1026]

Best Game! hands down. like if bought the game twice with the game of the year collection. 😎

[@Zigmas77]

Hey guys and gals, how is the instrument at 03:25 called? The bowed lyre type one? Does anyone know the exact name in english?
