CD Project Discusses The Witcher 2 on Consoles

[QUOTE="waltefmoney"]

[QUOTE="AbleFa3"]

Well, until someone provides some REAL evidence that Withcer 2 will not look stunning on consoles, it is rather pointless posting these PC pics from bad ports

Mass Effect 2, Alan wake and Gears 3 prove that Witcher 2 can look stunning on 360, that is all there is to it

Until proven otherwise, why even bother trying to bash console version, when you have not even seen it yet and considering they will take their time making, a whole year as you suggest

Not that makes any difference, graphics are not everything and the only thing that matters is that Withcer2 is confirmed for consoles, that makes PC gaming even more obsolete to me, Diablo 3 is next, they are hiring for Diablo3 console development right now

AbleFa3

On a side note have you played the first Witcher?

Of course, but i hated the controls, i did not know of Xpadder at that point and had to endure the terrible mouse controls in a 3rd person title, was horrible experience, the game was good though, not as good as Gothic 1-2, but better than Gothic 3-4 for sure

We already provided proof in the Metro 2033 pictures. ME2? Average. Alan Wake? Not even 720p if I remember right. Gears 3? So far nothing but bullshots. Gears 1 looked way better on PC than 360. The tech is old, there's nothing left to see on consoles.

Witcher 2 hasn't been confirmed for consoles. They've only stated their engine is multiplatform. CD Projekt stated that if they cannot get the experience they want for The Witcher 2, which obviously points to the visual effects among other things, it will not be ported. CryEngine 3 is also multiplatform and they ran levels of Crysis on it (And it didnt even look nearly as good as PC) but does that mean Crysis is being ported to consoles? No. They are also NOT hiring console devs for Diablo 3. They've only stated hiring for Diablo-related products, something along the line of that.

I now play Amnesia with Xpadder and 360 pad and is like a million times more smooth and immersive experience than it was with KB+Mouse

This will cause them some serious problems getting it not to play at 5fps.

That looks simply amazing! I would be happy with half of that quality on my 360.

AbleFa3

Really?...what level of Amnesia are you currently on? Specifically, how's the rotating of objects with a controller that has less precision and even slower than a mouse?

Mass Effect 2 looks stunning, 9.5/10 graphics in IGN on 360 and PC

Alan Wake has vastly better effects and bigger spaces than Metro 2033

Gears 3 has gameplay videos out actually

Withcer 2 is 100% confirmed for consoles, like 10 times now, and in this thread too

The Diablo 3 jobs are in Diablo 3 section, so they are hiring for Diablo 3 port to consoles

I now play Amnesia with Xpadder and 360 pad and is like a million times more smooth and immersive experience than it was with KB+Mouse

:? Talk about derailing the thread, when its extremely easy to ignore certain users just based on their previous posts. Anyways, as long as the PC doesnt get affected i dont mind and this is the case, plus more people will get to play it.

Wow you're extremely bad at this. The Witcher Is an easy to control game and it has isometric view if you dont like the OTS camera.

The fact they can run the game on consoles means theyre happy witht he results they produce, CD Projekt Redare very proud of their work on The Witcher 2. They wouldnt bring the game to consoles if it didnt do it justice. They have worked hard on the engine to make sure it runs well on a PC, so if they're good at programing im sure at 720p they could get the game looking pretty enough.

If it runs on consoles, thats a good thing for those PC gamers that dont own $1500 machines. Thats a good thing for everybody. The people that can max it out; can, and the people who want to just run it; can.

Plus more sales means more support for the game, more chance of other great titles from them etc.

I usually only judge once I have played the games on platforms I talk about, so I'll have to wait for Christmas to talk about this or see some really good comparisons. ME2 is nothing spectacular and from what I've seen a bit overated.

Vastly better effects? You've clearly never even touched or seen a video of Metro 2033 on PC.

Witcher 2 is not 100% confirmed for consoles. You're assuming things way to early. Witcher 2 could be used as test subjects for a game they have planned for consoles, and doesn't it seem fitting that they'd hire people for a Diablo-related in I don't know...the Diablo section?

That said, I can't wait for The Witcher 2 on PC. I'll have my GTX 470 (maybe even 2!) which better be able to run this thing smoothly. Also I'm gonna pre-order the Collector's Edition.

Well from the not surprising considering that CDP doesn't have a publisher, maybe real (not rumored, theorized, speculated) info about a real console version will come out a few a months after the pc debut.

On a side note, I can't believe that people are actually bothering with AbleFa3 especially after the past few threads :?

I loved the first Witcher so much I ignored all the the problems I had running it on my laptop, bad framerate the main issue, so for me I'd much prefer CD Project release the first game on my 360

I have it pre-order at Play.com, it says there waiting for stock to arrive, LOL its been like that for months. I wish someone would tell Play.com its cancelled or maybe its not

Amazing news

Now Diablo 3 is the only PC game i am missing from my 360 and Blizzard is hiring for console development of Diablo 3 as we speak !!!!!

AbleFa3

Dont get your hopes up

good chance it wont happen

[QUOTE="waltefmoney"]

[QUOTE="AbleFa3"]

The difference is that the game is runnign on consoles, confirmed two times now, while Bishock was not running on PS3

Also i think Withcer 2 will be a far better "port" than PC Mass Effect 2 was to 360

AbleFa3

It's still a port.

Ok, call it what you like, still means nothing, since it can actually look better than on PC with an extra year of development and engine optimization

Also the game will look stunning on consoles, what if it looks a bit crisper on PC ? Will make zero difference, i prefer playing with a pad than some crisper image myself

Gameplay >>>>> graphics, epsecially since Withcer 2 will look stunning anyway on consoles, like Mass Effect 2, Akan Wake, Gears 3 do

What's your post supposed to mean? Uncharted 2 looks amazing. Probably looks better than TW 2, it's linear and probably had a better budget.GeneralShowzer

If uncharted 2 looked better then the witcher 2 what is this argument about? The witcher 2 would just be released as a multiplatform game anyway.

[QUOTE="Snagal123"]

Well its not going to effect the PC version as its comes out in May and they haven't even started a console version.

Easily fixed with sub-hd resolution,low-res textures, reduced amount of enemies on the screen, vsync off and other "compromises" :)

You mean like Mass Effect 2 ?

Funny, because ME2 got same graphics scores for PC and 360

ME2 on PC - 1920x1200, 4xAA, 16xAF, 60fps, high settings
ME2 on 360 - 1280x720, 2xAA, 0xAF, 30fps, medium settings

Massive difference…

I showed him the difference on page 2.

ME2, maxed at 1920*1080, 16xAA forced (no native AA support Woopie) VS GS screenshots of the 360 version. He said there was no real difference and that one of the 360 shots looked best.

So don't bother.

Lol I just notice that, but it didn't surprise me because I have seen him in a couple of thread now causing a ruckus.

I will be looking forward to it if and when it does come to consoles. As it stands, it looks to be too far off for me to even bother worrying about.

I read some posts who the hell is saolin ?johny300

That uncharted 2 picture, elena looks more like a CGI character, the Witcher 2 character looks like a videogame character, but the Witcher is openworld right

I read some posts who the hell is saolin ? On topic: it's redecilous to compare U2 to TW2 since it's a consle game vs pc game :P.johny300

Frankly, with stunning looking games like Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, Gears 2-3, Crysis 2, Rage etc etc i dont see why Withcer 2 wont look stunning on xbox 360

Unless this is the first RPG to way surpass the best looking coming shooters on PC, like Rage and Crysis 2 of course, but frankly i dont think will be anywhere close to that

In short, if xbox 360can run vastly better lookinggames than Withcer 2, whynot run Withcer 2 fine too ?

I used to think that you were a rabid lemming but I'm liking you more and more. My apologies.

On topic, an eventual port of TW2 will obviously but a downgrade.

Edit: No positive response required. I'm perfectly capable of respecting and even liking people who despise me.

"The reasons he gives for for not doing a console version alongside the PC version are time, people and money. Plus the little fact that CD Projekt RED has never released a console game before, which is not something you just do overnight. By Christmas 2011 we should know more about the console version. Better start saving up for that PC upgrade if you have to." so wait a minute..games comes out in May for the PC..and by late 2011 they should have an IDEA when the console versions are ready?lawlessx

They will probably have a playable demo of the game running

So basically no confirmation and something we've been getting all along "It could be coming". Obviously i'm buying this for PC, but it would be nice for console players to get a whirl.
