What does OpenGL 4 core profile mean exactly? Doesn't every revision (like 4.1, 4.2, ... 4.5) have a newer core profile?

Quoting: commodore256Do you think any of these games will be back? Who knows, the publisher might reconsider or be bought by another publisher that would comply with GOG's policies.

They can return when contracts between their developers and retailers will expire. Then there will be no one to demand regional pricing, so developers can put games back on GOG.

I also suspect that general slowness of Linux resales on GOG (of already existing titles) was due to them ironing out these pricing contracts and problems. Hopefully stuff should go quicker now.

If you want to ask some technical questions to CD Projekt Red, you can do it here. So far they didn't confirm they'll answer any, but ask good questions, and they'll hopefully answer what they can.

QuoteRashid Sayed: Are there any plans to use Mantle or DX 12 features in The Witcher 3? May be post launch?

Balazs Torok: There are definitely plans for exploring different graphics APIs, post launch. Right now we are concentrating on providing the best possible game for the majority of our players.

Sounds like any additional APIs (which can be OpenGL 4.x) are planned only post launch, which indirectly confirms what was said in the interview.

@Plintslîcho: Witcher 3 will have proper fencing pirouettes, not roly poly doging. Also, for those who are annoyed by it in the Witcher 2, there is this mod.

Quoting: TealI dunno but there's no reason why an Environment Art & Level Design Producer would have any idea if there's going to be a Linux/Mac release or not as far as he's concerned, it's all PC (the controls, resources, delivery, are all the same).

That's a valid point, I'll ask the interviewer to clarify how much Michał Stec is involved in development of the engine.

Quoting: ZeloxWasnt this confirmed for steam os? They even got there free ad saying witcher 3 was coming on steam os.

Read the article carefully. SteamOS ad was never confirmed, or to be precise Valve / CDPR didn't comment on it at all.
