Next-Gen Development “Extremely Manageable,” According To Witcher 3 Dev

While many devs lament the difficulty involved in making games for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One thanks to the spike in required resources and development time, the studio behind The Witcher 3 has found the transition to be relatively pain-free. After all, these guys know have been catering to the tech-savvy PC gaming crowd for quite some time.

Speaking to IGN in a recent interview, Marcin Iwinski, the co-founder of CD Projekt, explained:

It is extremely manageable. There is a lot of power in these machines, and I don't want to say we're using them to their capacity, but we're fairly close to doing so.

We made a decision to go next-gen roughly two and a half years ago, so we've spent a lot of time with these machines, and it's been a great experience across all three platforms. On the old platforms, namely the Xbox 360 and PS3, we probably would have had to sacrifice nearly half of our vision.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is set to launch later this year, and I don't know about you, but I can't wait!
