The Witcher 2 (360) - first screens and video

http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6318347/e3-2011-the-witcher-2-xbox-360-preview-impressions/

"How does it look? The version we saw was a pre-alpha build, so it did not represent how the game will look at release. But our first reaction was, "Hey, this game looks really great on the Xbox 360." CD Projekt is aiming for the equivalent of the PC version's medium settings on the Xbox 360, and we noticed some animation hitches, screen tears, and a few frame rate dips, but that's par for the course at this stage. The art design still shone through, and Gop was proud of how the art design was always the team's first concern with the visuals. He stated that even Witcher 2 players enjoying the game on low settings are incredibly pleased with how the game looks. The team's goal is to make sure that The Witcher 2 runs smoothly at 30 frames per second minimum."

How? The hermits got the better looking game six months earlier, plus the importation features.

Anyway, it's good to see that the game is looking good. Hopefully Skyrim doesn't kill their sales too much, as this really was a fantastic RPG.

I was thinking the same thing. I have no idea if they're really 360 screenshots or PC screen shots. There is a button prompt, but that could have been easily photoshoped in. I guess to someone with a 'trained eye' they could spot the missing pixels, but I prefer to be untrained & not notice the difference.

I'd accept the graphics looking much worse as long as we get a stable game. How does the game hold up without exceptional graphics? Is it a Crysis?

we only said that when we saw the bullshots, before any real footage, Witcher 2 was hyped to kill Crysis, but it didnt come close, oh well. infact, i wouldnt be surprised if they gimped the graphics for the xbox 360, because it did look alot better from early screenshots

HaloinventedFPS

Hell no lol. That looks quit a bit worse than the PC version as well as Uncharted 3.

Not really sure what you mean. Pretty sure it looks exactly like the early released screens. IMO even with my settings I'd gladly take it over Crysis.

Almost certainly bullshots (supersampled) ...

Compared with the pc version it looks like crap.

Looks really good.

You don't need to photoshop in 360 button prompts, since most PC games these days have them.

Also, like some others said, the shots look suspiciously jaggie-less, almost as if supersampled. Could very well be PC shots.

360 owners shouldn't worry though, the game till probably still look very good on their platform, and it's one hell of a RPG.

Maybe they put MLAA in the game? But not even MLAA can hide all the jaggies.

ChubbyGuy40

Could be. But since the game is very taxing on the hardware, with heavy shading, postprocessing and particle effects, I doubt the 360 GPU could handle it with MLAA, even at a "low" 720p.

We can just speculate at this point. :)

The only developer left that develops games for the PC and the PC first and foremost is Blizzard. I just find this kind of thing funny after people kept going on about how they were buying Witcher 2 because CDP are a PC only dev and that the game is made for PC yada yada yada. Especially after the devs had already said the game was built for multiplatforms.

Because it makes sense for developers to stay on one platform when they can easily tripple their potential audience.

Thing is there will always be PC games developer, whether it's projects that can't be done on consoles, genres that don't have an audience on consoles, or developers that can't financially deal with the strain of releasing a game on consoles.

The PS3 and 360 though, if MS/Sony didn't own development studios, they would have no exclusive games. PC has more exclusive games without having any first party...So yeah..

Also lol@ buying a game just because it's an exclusive.

PC gamers already knew it was a multiplat. It was made clear long time ago. They supported CDP because of free drm, free dlc, made use of the modern hardware by not porting a 360 game into PC but the other way around. Although CDP did drop the ball on the UI part.

ill be more interested if the 360 version will contain the very large patch they release to fix all the problems with witcher 2 like they did with witcher 1.
