The Witcher - Introduction Cinematic [HD]

[@GRAFFDEMON]

This is pretty much a perfect recreation of what happens in the first few parts of The Last Wish book. So awesome.

[@_trashPANDA]

+Motör Punx I just got finished reading that part in the book and came here to see how close it was in game

[@TheChesterfallen]

This.

***** But I have read the last wish? I finished it the other night.

[@GRAFFDEMON]

***** So? The cinematic is pretty much spot on.

[@GRAFFDEMON]

***** To myself it is, I thought it transitioned from page to animation quite perfectly :)

That feeling when opening cinematic of a 15 year old game is more loyal to the books than the whole netflix series

[@Synthia17]

Crazy to think that the same guy who made this cinematic is actually working on that travesty of a show

[@ThePreciseClimber]

@@Synthia17 One must assume the other people involved with the show are not listening to him too often.

[@hvip4]

Facts! Despite the fact that the games take place after the events of the books and are their own story, they manage to keep the spirit of the books. And not through cheap callbacks and references either. They understand the feel and the message of the books and build on them. Netflix does the opposite, they take some of the better known sequences, modify them and put them on top of their own propaganda. It's disgusting and despicable. I would love to see a Japanese anime of the witcher, by a person who appreciates the books. When I'm reading the books I can tell that the story would be perfect for anime adaptation. It would be the perfect platform to include the multiple characters' views and the complicated timeline with the flashbacks and flashforwards. I'd gladly dedicate my life to this vision if I had the talent and the resources.

[@RandomoweImie]

@@Synthia17I doubt he actually had any real input. He was an 'associate producer' which is vauge AF.

[@8ig0r86]

1:58 After playing Witcher 3, the fact that Geralt didn't break his legs and instantly die after that fall is truly mind-breaking to me

[@randomdude2026]

Well. In the books Geralt got his legs hurt pretty badly at some point. This fight however happened befire that. So you COULD argue that W3 just wanted to show that the legs are Geralt's weak point now ^^

[@JMSLionheart]

Too old for this

[@twoblackwidows]

It's awesome to read this in the books before you see it animated.

Aaron Richards From Wikipedia: _________________ The Witcher Stories - Miecz Przeznaczenia (The Sword of Destiny) (1992) - Ostatnie życzenie (The Last Wish) (1993, English edition: 2008). Note that, while "The Last Wish" was published after "The Sword of Destiny," the stories contained in "The Last Wish" take place first chronologically, and many of the individual stories were published before "The Sword of Destiny." The Saga - Krew elfów (Blood of Elves) (1994, English edition: 2008) - Czas pogardy (The Time of Contempt) (1995, English edition: 2013) - Chrzest ognia (Baptism of Fire) (1996, English Edition: February 2014) - Wieża Jaskółki (The Swallow's Tower) (1997) - Pani Jeziora (Lady of the Lake) (1999) - Sezon burz (Season of Storms) (2013) - Prequel story, which takes place before the events of Krew elfów. ____________ I'd suggest to read in given order. Alternatively you can start by reading Season of storms first. It takes place before events imaged in the video and doesn't spoil anything from the Saga, but gives a good set up for Geralt - Yennefer relationship.

[@veronikavartanova4044]

dfeekt I must say, I much prefer the first two books (stories). With the Saga, I was all in it up until the focus of the narration clearly shifted from Gerald to Ziri. His involvement with actually important matters - as well as with the actual monster-killing - had also been minimized. Gee, I hope the game studio won't repeat that plotwise in TW3. Ziri is not very interesting of a character, and I want to see Gerald do the staff that really has some impact. Although a lot was happening, I was constantly bored through the last few books =P PS: Still gotta read the new one and I have HUGE hopes and anticipation for this year game!

[@OffTheSpot22]

This short shows how faithful CDProjekt really is, it's a perfect representation of the climax of 'The Witcher", to the letter.

[@WuppertalerWanderWade]

I am reading it right now. This video is very inaccurate. Geralt drank his portions before he met Ostrit 😉

[@randomdude2026]

​@@WuppertalerWanderWadeAlso the fight is inside in the great hall, not in the courtyard. And he doesn't climb the roof but stairs. But besides this, which I would say is artistic freedom, it is pretty accurate.

[@yashwinning]

I thought that fight scene in episode 3 looked oddly familiar, but couldn't quite remember why. I can't believe I still remembered this cinematic trailer even though I watched it 12 years ago.

[@realQuiGon]

It's not a trailer, it's the intro scene of Witcher 1.

[@ecvent0r]

I love how he's not even started before he draws his sword. He was just toying with the striga all the time. I read all the books and I know the context, but I think dealing with the monster in such a way in itself gave Geralt a lot of satisfaction, you can see it in this video.

[@BrUSomania]

Well, he doesn't want to kill the striga since he wants to save the girl whose been cursed. You probably already know this but he can only break the curse by surviving a night with the striga, close to its sarcophagus. That's why he scared it back to its crypt.

[@ecvent0r]

BrUSomania You're right about how the curse needed to be dealt with, and yes I read all the books except Season of Storms which I am currently reading. But some of the moments when I feel like he is toying with her are: when he was casting Aard and released it right when she was about to bite him and that punch on the roof. The moment when he snarls is when he starts to get serious in my view. And then he proves the point by cutting just a little bit of her hair. The interesting point is however that I don't remember him being so self confident in the book.

[@BrUSomania]

Yes, he is probably toying a bit more with her than I thought. I just thought he did it to show that he was in control, and to build up intimidation.

[@TheUnknownLegend1234]

Well.... I don't mean to spoil the book... but he's ordered NOT TO KILL the stryga. Unless he wants to be hanged.

[@ecvent0r]

***** Not entirely true. He is ordered to try anything in his power to lift the curse, keep in mind Geralt wasn't 100% sure that a night with the Striga would do it, he knew that difficult cases required 3 nights, some event not doable, which is what he also informed the king about. What he was told though is not to be foolish enough to accept the deal of some of the nobles to just get rid of her by killing her, without even trying.

This battle in Netflix version is pathetic in my opinion. Striga is grappler who is just tossing Geralt around? What the hell... This video has done this fight such justice... It simply goes by the book. Netflix didn't have to go that way exactly, but they could have at least honored Geralt fighting capabilities, not make him into throwing bag and Striga into WWE Wrestler. I'm so disappointed how they recreated this fight. And whats with Geralt losing his sword all the time mid combat? That should never happen. I hate that pathetic need for creating drama without any need for it and complete lack imagination on how to do so.

[@funkyplaysgames]

Gresnik89 Well now, I agree to some extent. The Netflix version lacked but I think it has a little more realism involved in Netflix. It was stated it has bested even a Witcher.

No, both are RPG's. However Skyrim is strictly a western RPG, where you become the protagonist, which in turn means the focus is on individual expression.

I think she was 14 the first time he "cured" her. In the game its the second time and she is obviously a woman

The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski. 1st Chapter : "The Witcher" ; 5th Section shows the events of this video. The accuracy is very interesting.

[@muri6853]

Witcher 1 definitely looked more lore accurate in witcher 3 he is too buff and handsome and doesnt really embody that pale mutant like look

[@yukegaming8788]

lmao who else just came back to this after watching it going down in the netflix series

[@juniorjenova]

so,this guy is The Famous Witcher..........i heard a lot of good things about him,but i saw him now for the first time.he looks good and he is an awesome fighter - exsactly my kind of a man;):)

[@Fjord_Citadel]

he's such a smartass in this fight. i almost couldnt stop laughing

[@apalagi08]

Here i am after Netflix witcher ep.3, to see a Witcher bullying a poor striga. Not vice versa.

[@cosmic2750]

You can surely keep your thinking... But I think the show fight is slightly more realistic. I mean, a Striga is a monster. Shouldn't be as intimidated as in this cinematic, but a little more bold and fight against Geralt...

Witcher 4 is back in it's roots. The actual monsters are not always who they seem to be in the first place. "There are no Gods here, there are only monsters."

[@WarNDeath2000]

Hey boys lets all be civil Tes fans stop arguing with Witcher fans we have been here before your game was born but never mind all that.In my point off view they are both great games and have lots off things to offer.I am a Tes fan myself but when I played Witcher 2 I fell in love instantly it is such a great game.It kinda reminds me off Mass effect Paragon,Renegade and Neutral decisions.The Witcher is based on decisions and Skyrim is based on exploring and being what ever you want to be.

Just reading The Last Wish now and needed a refresher of this cinematic... I thought it felt familiar!!

[@thanos_karagiannhs5320]

I really like the fact that Geralt has the sword strapped over his left shoulder instead of his right one so that he can actually draw the sword out of its sheath with his right hand :)

[@onewingedangel3937]

geralt looks so young. in Witcher 2 he seemed to age alot

[@zamaskowany12]

This takes place like 25 years before Witcher 3
