The Witcher 3 Game Designer Explains “Wait Until You See it Without YouTube’s Odd Compression”; Info on Gore and the PS4 Version
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is lust a mere twelve days away from release , and CD Projekt RED keeps sharing more and more information on the hugely anticipated game on a daily basis.
Momot explains why gore had to be toned down for the Middle Eastern region,
You can slice people in half. There will be less blood and the guts won’t be as visible. You have to understand one thing – if we didn’t tone it down for this particular region, we wouldn’t be able to release the game there at all.
Finally, he mentioned that, contrary to what he said before, we won’t be able to change the PS4 version’s subtitle font size.
@AntonacciDavide You can rescale HUD, turn on/off specific elements. The subtitles size cannot be changed manually though.

Game Designer Damien Monnier adds that fans should not be worried about it as he hasn't notice anyhing wrong.
@AshesArise mmm no, I mean I never noticed anything wrong, maybe because of screen size/youtube shizzle? I wouldn't worry personally.
