Witcher 4: Ciri Takeover, Unreal Engine Hype, and No More Cyberpunk BS

Yau mo gau cho! Pok Gai Gamer here with the straight-up facts about Witcher 4. No fluff, no nonsense, just the real deal for gamers who want the truth. Let’s get into it, Hong Kong style.

Ciri Is the Main, Geralt Gone?

You like Geralt? Sorry la, this time Ciri is the only protagonist. CDPR say it’s “organic” and “logical” – whatever lah, just means they want to try something new. Geralt maybe go open cha chaan teng in Lynx School, but don’t expect to play him. Ciri is young, got more story to grow, and you can make her good girl or bad girl – up to you. Freedom to play how you want, no forced path.

Setting: Kovir – Not Your Mama’s Novigrad

Forget about Novigrad or Skellige. This time, it’s Kovir – cold until your balls shrink, full of politics and snow. Demo show Valdrest and Lan Exeter, dragons flying around, looks sick. If you like dark, moody, and complicated, this is your jam.

Unreal Engine 5 – Real Deal or Another Cyberpunk Scam?

CDPR flex hard with their tech demo:

• 60 FPS with ray tracing on PS5 (no need sell kidney for PC upgrade)

• 300 NPCs in crowd (not like old Witcher, empty street)

• Horse animation smooth like TVB drama
  But ah, remember Cyberpunk? That tech demo also look godlike, then launch like dog shit. This time, CDPR say “target render only” – means maybe downgrade later. At least they honest now, not like last time scam you.

What’s New for Developers, Marketers, and Gamers?

Designers:

• Use UE5 to make world more alive, not just copy-paste NPC

• Let players shape Ciri, not force one path

• Procedural animation, less janky movement

Marketers:

• Don’t overhype like Cyberpunk

• Show real progress, don’t talk big only

• Cross-media assets, can use for anime, movie, whatever

Gamers:

• Don’t expect demo graphics in final game – lower your expectation

• More freedom to play Ciri your way

• Story will be deep, not just hack and slash

Pok Gai Takeaway

CDPR learn from their Cyberpunk disaster – now more careful, more honest. Unreal Engine 5 is powerful, but don’t believe everything until you see real gameplay. Ciri as main character is bold, and the story looks promising. If you want real facts, not dei talk, stay tuned to Pok Gai Gamer.
