The Witcher 3
For those of you who like the series, The Witcher 3 has just been officially announced. I only played the first one for a little bit but I did enjoy it. I remember thinking it was a good thing that STDs did not exist in the Witcher series.
This is all taken from IGN's site:
The head of CD Projekt RED, Adam Badowski, says that The Witcher 3 will release on, as Game Informer puts it, all top of the line consoles and PC in 2014. This seems to suggest The Witcher 3 will be looking beyond the current crop of consoles, especially as the magazine cites it as "a next generation RPG" on the cover.
According to Game Informer the open world in The Witcher 3 is 30 times larger than the previous game, which will make it even bigger than Skyrim.
Free expansion packs will release after the launch of Wild Hunt next year, akin to The Witcher 2's continuous, free post-release support.
Wild Hunt isn't broken up into acts, as the REDengine 3 permits the exploration of a vast, open-world without loading screen interruptions. Enemies won't scale to Geralt's level, though, so you can wander into territory filled with too-tough monsters who will wreck our intrepid hero. Along the way, you can expect to encounter friendlies and enemies in a dynamic world affected by unpredictable weather, including randomly generated storms, and water physics while sailing.
Fast travel is a go, and Geralt can mount horses for both transportation and combat.
Geralt will play the part of monster-hunter and detective throughout his quests, which developer CDP claims will occupy more than 100 hours of players' time. He'll have almost five times the amount of unique character animations, too.
Each new area of the game – Skellige, the metropolis of Novigrad, and "No Man's Land" – has its own story. Non-linear storytelling with branching paths dictates that avoiding the central plot of seeking out Geralt's lost love, Triss Merigold, will have ramifications.
In combat, you can interrupt attack animations to dodge or block, which depletes stamina. Dodging isn't a big somersault anymore, however – Geralt pivots to evade attacks while maintaining the momentum of a fight. Enemy AI has been retooled as well, and quick-time events are out entirely.
On February 1 CD Projekt RED announced it had a new version of the REDengine, unsurprisingly dubbed REDengine3, which was described as being created for, "RPGs set in vast, open worlds with improved tools for spanning truly non-linear stories that are based on real player choices and consequences.”

This is a """mature""" game. As much as I love the series, I keep getting buggered by the lack of a good link between the first and second game. My love interest apparently abandoned me, and strangely enough my character is having sex with Triss who in the first told me that I'm: "You're a pig, sold-out the city for a red-head."
And in the second one I have to give a damn about her, as if I cared, even then she seems more like a friend with benefits rather than a love interest.
The video got something fatally wrong though, it says that you can go in search of your lost love "Triss", no you ****ing don't.
My only concern is with open areas and non-linear story. This has the potential to be huge, but I'm still concerned about the quality of the story.

He suggests that it should be a movie, a statement which many fans agree with. (I think there was one) Then goes on to make random jabs at all the mature porn in the games. Also he misspelled magazine.

If so, badass.

If you read the books, you'll see that the inconsistencies in Geralt's love life are something completely natural for him but in the end it all boils down to "Yennefer and the others" - which will probably be displayed in the third game.

Didn't this use to be the norm with old RPGs?  You find out the hard way when you've wandered too far too soon.
I take it since the plot will be to find Triss Merigold, this means I won't be boinging with her at every opportunity I can get. Darn shame.

It isn't, the noob got it wrong, it's Yennefer that you go looking for, Geralt's twu wub. I'm assuming that there will be a horde of nazis and aliens between the two of them uniting, plus Geralt has to account for the fact that she lost her memory too.
