We already know that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one heck of a big game. The open world map apparently takes a good 20 minutes to travel from one end of it to the other on horseback, and that's without factoring in any strange happenings or tense fights with beasties.
However, if you're not quite taken in by the sheer scale of CD Projekt Red's creation, you may want to watch that footage that we've embedded in this very article. The PlayStation Access team are back, and this time, they're gunning it from one side of the map to the other. It takes them a grand total of 35 minutes to do, as they have Geralt run, ride, sprint, and sail to his destination.
It's all PlayStation 4 footage too, to feel free to keep on the lookout for any frame rate drops, and then rant about them in the comments section below.

Looks awesome
The game is looking amazing cannot wait to play next week, also been reading some of the posts from CD Projekt Red about the frame-rate that's in reviews, they say its already been fixed already.
Hope it is, it's one of those things that's kind of hard to tell in videos, for example it's not noticeable in the FF15 vids but the reality ruined it for me - again I'm REALLY hoping not because I know lots of people are looking forward to it.
Does look really good in that video though. Fingers crossed!!!
God this game looks amazing. So glad I'm getting it on pc though. Don't think I could handle not even a steady 30 fps. Playing this game in 60 fps is definitely how it's meant to be played with the fast paced combat. Ps4 definitely looks really pretty though.
Looks absolutely stunning! Can't wait to get my copy next week and can easily see me spending a LONG time in this world....
@mitcHELLspawn Urgh, bet it'll look the nuts on a PC. Have fun!
@kyleforrester87 haha for sure. I have 2 sli gtx 980s so I'm hoping to get it in 4k but I'm thinking it's going to be a little too demanding for that.
@mitcHELLspawn From what I understand and have read, the Ultra setting is 1080p/60fps.
As Gamestar reported, an Intel i7-4790 with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GTX980 was able to run the game at 1080p on Ultra settings with almost constant 60fps. This latest build of The Witcher 3 is said to report smoother than the preview build CD Projekt RED showcased back in January, and implements NVIDIA’s HairWorks (which Gamestar was also allowed to enable, and managed to sustain almost 60fps continuously).
It looks like it will take some impressive rig to run smoothly above 1080p let alone 4K...
@BAMozzy yeah I'm aware.. but like I said I have 2 gtx 980s. Also I have a 4790k and 32GB of corsair dominator platinum ram. Like I said I doubt I'll get 4k. I'm almost positive I'll be able to get 1440p ultra settings 60 fps. My gtx 980s are overclocked to 1450MHz as well over the stock speed of like I think it's 1196MHz
Sounds a beast! Makes you wonder what the PC specs were they used to capture the 4K images that were released a few months back.
Do you have a decent sized 4K monitor and/or use a 4K TV?
@BAMozzy yeah its great man it was my first pc ive ever built and I had a blast building it. And yes I have a 28 inch 4k Gsync monitor with a 1ms response. The picture is incredible. I'm playing wolfenstein the old blood in 4k now it looks gorgeous. I'm also playing gta 5 60 fps 4k oh man that game was made for 4k.
A fairly decent size monitor. Have you got a 4K TV? I know the input lag is more (I think mine has around 40ms on game mode) but you get the bigger size but 28" is still impressive. I remember when owning a 28" TV was impressive and trying to play 4 player split screen games camped around it
@BAMozzy yeah actually I initially had a 40 inch 4k LG tv hooked upto it, but I sold it. The picture was the beautiful but I noticed the lag. Not only that I really wanted a Gsync monitor it really makes a huge difference when your monitor can adapt it's refresh rate according to what your gpu is outputting. My tv i use for console gaming is 75 inch samsung smart tv lol so I don't mind using the monitor for pc gaming and if I really wanna game on a larger screen I just hook it up to it.
So, you can damage ships but they won't sink?
God damn it ,I really don't want to buy this game,but I think I must.
My PS4 Backlog is already ridiculous
