CD Projekt RED wants 'The Witcher 3' to be better than 'Skyrim'
It takes a pretty fantastic game to be better than Skyrim, but that's what CD Projekt RED is aiming for with The Witcher 3.
In a feature done with Game Informer magazine, VP of business development Michal Nowakowski stated;
“There’s a certain amount of things which you can do with PR."
“But there are limits to that. Without solid support and a solid budget – which we believe we can secure with the right partnership – it’s really difficult to achieve numbers like some of our competition… Dragon Age, the Skyrim franchise and whatnot.”
“Are we that much behind them in terms of the quality of the games? Of course we’ve got a lot to learn. We do know that, but I really do think that we can deliver a game of at least similar quality, if not better of course.
“Our target is to be better, always. We always had ambitions to be at the top level in terms of quality of build, but also to be independent. That’s very important for us.”
Being better than Dragon Age certainly is possible for the upcoming title, as The Witcher 2 was much better than Dragon Age 2. However, Skyrim is a whole other animal.
