Th Witcher 2 - Ironman mode

The Witcher will have Ironman mode , and some clarification on save importing :

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-12-17-witcher-2s-insane-difficulty-revealed

The Witcher 2's insane difficulty is just that – if you die you have to start the game again from the very beginning.

"You can save the game, but when you die the saves are disabled," explained lead gameplay designer Mateusz Kanik to Eurogamer.

"Of course we plan to have a resurrection scroll, maybe DLC or something. You'll see."

The 2011 fantasy role-playing game includes four difficulties: easy, medium, hard and insane.

On easy, players will be able to simply mash buttons to win. But on insane, things will be very different.

The Witcher 2's insane mode hopes to emulate FromSoftware's rock hard cult hit Demon's Souls - a game Polish developer CD Projekt admires greatly. And expect speed runs will be virtually impossible because monsters will be harder to avoid than they were in the original.

"It won't be easy to not fight the monsters. We fixed that by giving all opponents special abilities which allow them to catch the Witcher," Kanik said.

"Undead can dig into the ground and get up near the player. So when you run he will dig up in front of you and grab you. It will be harder to just run and avoid the fight."

Given how long The Witcher 2 is likely to be – it's billed as an expansive, non-linear story-based role-playing game – finishing the game on insane is sure to pose a challenge. But it'll be worth it, CD Projekt teased. "There will be an achievement for that, for sure."

EPIC:D

That's crazy.

Jesus Christ reminds me of the mode on MGS3 when if you get caught you have to start the level again.

Wow, that's just wrong lol.

Wow, that's just wrong lol.

Guys - they're kidding - those dudes at CD Projekt have a weird sense of humor, but they're very funny -

Warsaw, Poland – April 1, 2009. Today CD Projekt RED, the world's leading developer of games with "The Witcher" in their title, announced its first internally-developed foray into handheld gaming, The Witcher: Mysterious Secrets. The game is in development for all current-gen, next-gen and gen-after-next-gen handheld systems and is scheduled for release between Tuesday and Friday 2010.

A jaw-dropping revolution in handheld gaming, The Witcher: Mysterious Secrets features a massive list of revolutionary features that will completely revolutionize, then de-evolutionize, then evolutionize and then once more revolutionize the industry. Among the revolutionary features are two cooperative multiplayer modes never before seen on handheld systems: play together with your friend on one system as you harness Geralt's awesome Powers of Movement on the D-pad while your friend uses the awesome Powers of Doing on the A and B buttons; or connect with a limitless number of players as you play for a bit, then pass the handheld to your friend and watch them play for a while, and then finally take it back to play some more yourself!

The awe-inspiring graphics created using half of the game engine's available 32 colours help to immerse players in the awe-inspiring story of Geralt of Rivia as he fights to save the world from an unknown evil. Set in a completely open world that allows for movement in both left and right directions for an infinite amount of time, The Witcher: Mysterious Secrets also includes some features usually found in today's best console games, like the Decisions and Inconsequence system that ensures that no decision you make will have an impact on the outcome of the game. That's right – no more worrying about making bad decisions. We'll also have DLC at astronomical prices, including the upcoming "The Witcher: Go Up and Down" pack. Yeah, DLC on a handheld. You wanna fight about it?

"The Witcher: Mysterious Secrets is really awesome," said Adam Kicinski, the guy who runs CD Projekt RED. "Like… really awesome. It has better graphics, better combat, a better story and more boobs than the PC version. Awesome, right?"

I'm sorry, the difficulty sounds great and all, but they might charge money for DLC so you can resurrect? Sounds like a greedy money move to me

IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED the video in the link on the first post, do yourself a favor and watch it!!! I guarantee it's more than worth it!

Amazing, awesome, outstanding, everything is top notch, and the stealth elements are as solid as in the Thief series! Second-to-none graphics, no loading scenes, a bazillion ways to approach the situations and develop your way, with an equal multitude of outcomes, this is definitely what an RPG is supposed to be about!!

There goes my social life... 8)

Not sayin' the difficulty DLC will be paid for or not but why is it when someone charges money for something they are vilified as greedy? Do You have a job? Do you get paid or do you do this job if you have one for free? Just wonderin'.

[QUOTE="THGarrett"]

That's crazy.

dakan45

Ya didn't quite put that together either. Of course I can think of two reasons; first if say you've saved for a fight and you barely escape with your live do you reload and try again? Second I always like being able to save anywhere just in case I have to quit and leave rather then having to play to a checkpoint.

Please, at least give me a valid response. Look, I worded it the wrong way, but the idea of charging someone for a resurrection scroll to access a save in Ironman Mode just sounds absurd. Either you put the item in the game in the first place or don't give the people the option of getting the scroll, because that's the point of the mode. I know that if it indeed does cost money, you don't have to buy it, but this just seems weird to me

Also, I realized the DLC might be free, so sorry on that part

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] Well that was completely unnecessary, especially when no one mentioned DA II in this thread. Reported for trolling. And bad MS paint skills.
