The Witcher 2 - new incredible screenshots**56k Beware**

No lie, that looks pretty good. Can't wait til I can afford a new PC capable of such digital devil magic, but I have to. Stupid bills and food.McStrongfast

How can anyone hate on these graphics, it looks leagues better than a lot of games, and I don't think it's maxed out, but I'll be able to max this baby out.8)

[QUOTE="Chrome-"]Can't wait to play this on my superior platform the mighty PS3.haberman13

I don't think it would run on the Wii anyway ...

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"] You implied in your post that PC gamers find shallow action oriented games less appealing. "Flashy looking games that can be completed in an afternoon with no challenge seem to sell well on console." I simply pointed out that these same games sell well on PC as well.i5750at4Ghz

Maybe, but as a percentage of game-type consoles tend to lean towards his description; where on PC you have 12 million people playing the math simulator that is WoW.

That wouldn't happen on the consoles, the gameplay takes too much understanding of mechanics, which doesn't appeal to the console market which tends to focus on fast action/light depth.

Sure, those games sell on PC, but they don't define the market; I would say the console market is defined by that description.

Well ... that explains random dungeons of late.

IF, and at this point, it's still a big IF. IF this game makes it to current gen cosnoles it ain't going to look any where near as good as the PC version.

Do you guys notice anything in those screen shots. Something should jump out at you immediately.

There are plenty of close camera shots of characters and architecture and NOT ONE BLURRY PIXELATED FLAT-LOOKING texture to be seen!

That's 'cause PC isn't limited to 256 MB video buffer and 720p rez.

Bioware, eat your heart out.

WoW is casual friendly because of it's interface and intuitive mechanics. It's an example of how to build a great game that can be played by the broadest of audiences.

Anyway here's the video of the scene with that screenshot:

The Witcher 2 looks better, but Dragon Age 2 will be a far better game.
.
I don't care for neither though.

Witcher2 has great graphics, but I'm not going to miss out on the action - I'm buying both games.:lol:

Oh that looks so much better then the first game. I bought the first game when it was super cheap on steam but i haven't been able to get into it. None the less i'm super excited for witcher 2! Hopefully i'll find time before mid may to let myself get into witcher 1.

Anyone else planning on picking up that crazy(and crazy expensive) collectors edition!

Really? I thought they turned Dragon Age to into a button mash, kinda like Gauntlet but without the multiplayer.

WoW is casual friendly while you are leveling ... when you play the "real" game (pvp/raiding/heroic dungeons) if you don't understand stats/rotations/counters you will fail hard.

WoW is the opposite of a casual friendly game, unless you are leveling. As far as MMOs go, yes it is "casualized". On console it would be the equivalent of an advanced calculus game.

The Witcher 1 played on hard is the same way, you NEED to use alchemy, and understand the impact of stats. On console that wouldn't fly except for a minority of users.

Looking good. Can't wait to get my hands on this and Age of Decadence.

I really need an update with my rig...funsohng

32-0!:lol:

Looks incredible! Graphics like these make me want the next gen consoles now!!!

Looks yummy. Hopeit is a great game.

One of the few games I am jealous about, so I hope it does get a console version eventually.

Congrats PC gamers, because it looks to be shaping up very well.

Looks incredible. Hopefully consoles will look close to that since they did say there would be no significant difference.

And console gamers think this will be out on the lolsoles.

Ooohhh, I see. It's a play on words. That's a truly funny observation...such a knee slapper.

...

Anywho, the game looks gorgeous, even if I won't max it. Can't wait to play it.

Looks friggin' great!

This game is the new graphics king.aaronmullan

No kidding. Dem visuals! :shock::shock::shock: Great graphics further increased by top design. Low budget devs > big name studios? :P

you guys should really ignore the one hater in the thread that didn't even know what witcher 2's combat looked like until recently.lawlessx
