Woohoo, finally! New trailer, release date, AND Keanu Reeves!!!
This next thing I'm about to say might sound very strange but... I'm so happy to see that the game is $79.99 CAD and not $49.99 or $59.99, reason being that I found The Witcher 3 to be what I still today consider to be the best video game ever made, providing way more entertainment, amazing graphics, story, music, pretty much everything across the board, and it cost far less than most of the crappy overpriced AAA games coming out from other studios. I felt like CDPR and GOG deserved to make more money from their amazing game, and hoped they would value their work a bit higher in the future. I felt Witcher 3 at $80 would have been a steal compared to various games I've paid that for in the past, even the good ones.
One thing that is a bit confusing though is the pre-order comes with a 30% discount from the CDPR store, but the store does not appear to service Canada, or at least provide Canadian currency options which is disappointing, pricing shows up in Euros only there which gives me the impression items are only sold within Europe. I hope this changes in the future, but a 30% discount there isn't too useful as a result, at least for the time being.
Another important thing I'd like to point out though is that the game's official release date is stated as April 16th, 2020, and that is the date listed in the GOG.com store. Oddly enough though, the release date of the game listed in the Steam store is April 15th, 2020, one day before the GOG.com release date. I'm willing to bet that this is a mistake in the Steam store, but I cant help conspiracy theorize that it is on purpose because I can't imagine how someone could accidentally screw that up, and in the favour of Steam too. Hopefully CDPR did not give Steam a one day heads up over their own store.
I'm so looking forward to this game, but will be holding off on purchase until either just prior to release, or on release day. Going to be an amazing day, I can sense it. Will need to build a new PC by then though, and this time it's going to be a ridiculous monster PC that can more than run the game. :)
