New Witcher 2 screenshots [56k)

It looks excellent, artistically and technically. However people are exaggerating the technical part, it's not graphics king or similar.GeneralShowzer

Eh.. no one said it would be, most people have just been saying it was the best looking RPG.

I say it. It curb-stomps crysis visually. it has teh arts.

Its safe to say now that PC graphics are atleast two generations above console graphics thanks to Move and Kinect.

Gears/UC/KZ

Crysis

BF3/Witcher/Shogun

[QUOTE="110million"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] I've heard it a lot of times. People seem to believe that it's some kind of graphical powerhouse. GeneralShowzer

No really, I thought you gave up on that charade.

Looks amazing. another great 2011 exclusive for pc.

I fully expect the console version of Witcher 2 to be a quick cash grab. I don't care one bit since the PC version is getting all the attention first.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"]

[QUOTE="110million"] Considering its one of the few built-for-PC engines, it has the best chance. If it was built for consoles, it would be easier to port.110million

[QUOTE="110million"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] It's not a built for PC engine.

Frostbite 2.0 is multiplatform, yet vastly superior on PC. What does that tell you?

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="110million"] Yes, Yes it is. Have they tested to see if it works once in a while with consoles? Yes. That doesn't mean its not a PC engine. Had it been a console engine, they would have simply launched it on consoles soon after PC or even at the same time, if they need to spend upwards of a full year getting a console version out, it means its not a console engine.

Frostbite 2.0 is multiplatform, yet vastly superior on PC. What does that tell you?

Tells you that Witcher 2 will be crippled on consoles and will still score pretty high because the standards are so low.

Not dev's fault though. Consoles just don't have the horsepower anymore.

Multiplat engine or not, it looks better than most if not all console games in those shots...and they are not doctered (its pc, no doctoring)

Ofcourse you could think the "possible" years down the road console version will look nearly this good, lolz.

You do realize that Witcher 2 isn't a simultaneous release right? They are making the PC version and focusing on it and then after that they will start trying to make a console product. Itsa PC game first.

KZ3 and UC3 are 720p and the Skyrim shots are PC shots. I am not impressed one bit with those games on consoles. They look good, but nothing out of this world compared to high quality PC games like Crysis.

Consoles are crap now in terms of graphical processing.

consoles are out of power. Nothing will look better than Kz3 or UC2. Its has scale and no loading screens. Consoles will have a downgraded, watered down port. Nothing points to it being a "multiplatform/consolized" game.

Oh wait, anything that resembles a radial menu is consolized/multiplatform. Same with controller support. QQ moar.

Hmmm interesting. Is that why Witcher 2 is 49.99 or 44.99 if you preorder on Steam. Funny......I'm pretty sure the PS3/360 version IF they ever happen will be 60 bucks.

I know its hard to accept, but PS3 and 360 are crap in terms of hardware in 2011. Just move on and accept it.

Using games like KZ and UC is self ownage. Those games aren't graphical beasts like high quality PC games. They look good. I give them a solid 7.5 graphically. Of course i didn't buy a 360 and PS3 for graphics. I laugh at people who do though.

Cash grab means the verison that gets no support and they don't care about how many sell. You obviously didn't know that.

lol Let's not start a PC vs consoles fight here, it's coming to both systems after all.shane_orija

Fight? Its a beatdown and consoles gettin' bloodied up. Plus it was never confirmed for consoles.

You are very cynical... If CDProjekt read what you said they'd be disappointed. They're making this game for their fans. Look how much love they put into it, and you're accusing them of "cash grabbing" to fund a console version. :?

Developers are heart-less demons who are only out to get every last of our pennies. That is why Pc verison is a cash grab where they can fund their console port which will sell 10+ million copies day one and never make a PC title again.

Gaming on an xbox 360 does not mean you are a PC gamer.

They aren't even sure they can make a console version. You see that TBA2011 on Gamespots page for Witcher 2? No news about the console versions has appeared in quite a while.

Its cheaper so they sell more? They could have easily charged 60 bucks and not lost a sale. We all know that when push comes to shove a gamer will cave. They are loyal to their PC fans and want to give them the best experience possible instead of compromising the game for the sake of uniformity across all platforms. Thats why they aren't bothering with consoles at all until they can ship a fully featured PC game.

Console versions will only exist to make more money with less work. Quick hack job and voila. show some "good" console graphics and console gamers will eat it up.

I personally don't even think a console version will ever make it to stores. I'm sure CDProjeckt is expecting to take a lot of features and graphical options out, but not to the point where its completely unrecognizable from its PC counterpart, which is what they will likely have to do since console hardware specs are from the stone age.

Console RPG.........Did you even play the original?

[QUOTE="Crossel777"]

God damn, I'm not even sure my PC can run this.

Kinthalis

I believe the system req. have been released.

Yep:http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/03/28/witcher-2-system-specs-detailed/

Minimum specs

• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or AMD equivalent
• Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 8800, 512 MB memory or ATI equivalent
• Memory: 1 GB for Windows XP / 2 GB for Windows Vista and Windows 7
• Hard Disk: 8 GB for the game installation and 8 GB for bonus materials

Recommended specs

• Processor: Intel Quad Core or AMD equivalent
• Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 260, 1 GB memory / Radeon HD 4850 with 1 GB memory
• Memory: 3 GB for Windows XP / 4 GB for Windows Vista and Windows 7
• Hard Disk: At least 16 GB of free space

Very reasonable for the eyecandy we've been seeing.

I can't run it.

They said that they don't have the money to make a console version...they don't want to half ass it, since it's their entry on the console market. Their words. They need more money...from PC gamers.

Right...

I've seen more than The Witcher fit into a console . It's a multi-platform engine and it's a multi-platform game, just like any other.

And yes I've played the original.

That looks fantastic!

You are probably right, unless you are able to convince Microsoft and Sony not to get their share.
