The Witcher 3<\/a>. It’s codenamed Project R.O.A.C.H. (Ride On A Controller Horse).<\/p>\n“The controller that is also… a hobby horse!” the trailer voiceover excitedly confirms.<\/p>\n
Game director Sebastian Kalemba claims he had the idea for the controller a decade ago, whilst doing motion capture for The Witcher 3 before its launch. “We took the prototype into a mo-cap studio and made sure the horse would follow your every step. After countless iterations, we’ve made enormous progress.”<\/p>\n
“Now, thanks to precise motion tracking, Roach will never stray from the path like she used to.” Sebastian is absolutely proud of this one!<\/p>\n
You’ll never be able to actually buy the horse controller, but like the Pragmata trailer<\/a> from earlier today, it’s an example of game developers putting a bit of effort and fun into their April Fool’s gags. Now, how about that new expansion for The Witcher 3, CD Projekt Red?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are always varying qualities of April Fool’s jokes on display each year, and what CD Projekt Red…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":507695,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1183,59,86,39083,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-507694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-cd-projekt-red","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-the-witcher","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=507694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/507695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=507694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=507694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=507694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
