Yes, you are. Those screenshots are stunning. And apparently not doctored, according to reviewers.

Also, as pretty as those screenies are, they do seem to suffer from the Too Much Bloom Syndrome occasionally.

The bloom it kills my eyes.

Bloom syndrome is not exactly a sickness in every case. It's something like vaccine for "Not THAT good" textures and models. And I believe some of the game devs treat it that way 
Anyway - Looking forward to play this game. I love The Witcher books and universe. Well, if you want REAL dark and low fantasy setting The Witcher is way to go. I didn't saw anything like it or even near it and believe me - I know many different low/dark fantasy worlds
I just wonder if CD Project guys can keep this feeling in Witcher 2 with such graphics and stuff.

idem.
Guys, TW2 looks great and all, but it's not anywhere close to Crytek's Playable Engine Tech Demo 2.
Bloomtech isn't makeup, models and texture details are pretty high. Someone's idea of purtay gfx. Still, screens are a bit doctored. Always are.
That said, it's still lookin' awesome, not to mention a much improved storyline and gameplay.
pesky gfx, always get in the way of a good storyline and all.
I found what I've seen of Crysis 2 to be pretty much a miss as far as art direction goes, the urban setting was a bad idea as it's too generic, and overall the game suffers a lot from overboard bloom plus motion blur. Didn't get me quite as excited as shooting North Koreans in the jungle 
TW2 certainly doesn't look better than Crysis 2 but could probably compete, especially since the quality of art direction makes up for where raw gfx power may fail.

Um, this link to the pictures is broken now?
Anyone else having problems with it?

True enough. One thing that particularly puts me off towards Crytek games is the 'fake' feeling of their lighting. It looks like it's set in Bavaria, not NYC.
As to TW2's tech, it isn't old. 'S based on a completely new engine, originally designed for the (now scrapped) TW3.
yes even today I think THe Witcher looks quite decent. Cant wait to see what the sequel will be like.
At the very least, I hope that we will not see those asshat retarded spikey-armors present in DA2, with more fluid and believable animations. Seeing the characters flail around with twohanded swords and metal shields like they were toothpicks annoys the living daylights out of me.
Apparently you can import your Witcher 1 save game, wonder what does that add to the game?

As far as I know, it will alter the storyline a little bit based on what you have done in the first game. So it's kind of like Mass Effect.
Alphadrop
A right proper chap.
Someone will probably make a save game editor just like the Mass Effect and Dragon Age ones, saves a lot of hassle playing through the first game again if you loose your saves.
I don't understand what are they going to do with things you learned in the first game.
I mean, all those skills and stuff you gained by leveling can't be just forgotten.
In all previous games we've seen that have been using that tech, each time, you either play a different character, or, as in Mass Effect 2, your character dies.
So what now? As Crni said, amnesia (again)?
Can someone please enlighten me?

^ Haha, yeah another really hard hit on the head or something.
Seriously though, from what i remember of previews, the game starts with a scene in prison... Say Garett was imprisoned for a while, daily torture, poor food and lack of exercise isn't good for health. So maybe he has to restart training

I believe he was molested by guards, so he wanted to forget that experience. Accidentally, he had forgotten it all.

Or maybe we start badass and simply fight even more badass people and monsters?
Yeah It worked for Baldurs Gate 2. So why not for The Twitcher ?Tagaziel said:
*Kinda fun though to see the Codexers all get in rage over the quick time events in Witcher
though I have to say that I never was a fan of such quick time stuff. But not because the idea of it sucks or is inherently flawed but simply because many game designers use it poorly/lazily. I hope in Geralds second game it will be used more wisely. The fight we seen so far was not that bad to say that.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ravxVjnOoRM[/youtube]
