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

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"]There's more than enough proof really. DA II will be more of a PC game, at least it's getting a different UI. Might as well get Batman AC, because that's more of a true PC game .lawlessx

No..it's not.

It's more than we're getting with The Witcher 2.

That minimal ammount of effort is more than they put in the Witcher UI.

[QUOTE="KingsMessenger"]

Wait? so your argument is that the removal of the group stances makes it consolized? Visually it is different, but that is because they VASTLY improved the animations... FUNCTIONALLY it works pretty much the same way that The Witcher did... It is based on rhythm and combination of the different elements of combat(two stances, magic, alchemy, etc.) Have you seriously spent the last however many pages bashing the game because it LOOKS visually different because of the BETTER animation, completely oblivious to the fact that the game is PLAYED the same as it was before(with the exception of the removal of the group stance)????!!!

I love how he neatly side-stepped my post and attempted to restart the argument...

I simply cant wait for this game, it looks so awesome and i just beat The Witcher so who played it knows how i feel about the second one.

There is no console version of The Witcher 2 yet(in any stage of development) so your point is completely moot.

I don't really know what i avoided here. They didn't improve on the combat they changed it completely. It's not really about animation. It's about addapting the game to console style of play.GeneralShowzer

HOWIS IT DIFFERENT??? The game plays EXACTLY the same as The Witcher did... All they did was make the animations better and the transitions between different combat modes faster... Mechanically, it is IDENTICAL!!!!

What people don't realise, is that it's just like any other multi-platform game. http://www.vg247.com/2011/02/15/broom-slick-the-witcher-2s-tomasz-gop-gears-for-launch/ "Any Witcher 2 console version will contain no "visually noticeable" difference over the PC SKU."GeneralShowzer

Do you really think they would do something like that for a PC-focused game? That only means that if they end up porting it to consoles, its gonna get attention and real work to make it look the best it can. Even the minimum specs required for The Witcher 2 thrash consoles.

"It's doable to make a game that won't be crap." All it means is what I said above.

Next you'll say Battlefield 3 will look the same on console as it does on PC. :lol: Even games like Modern Warfare 2 and Mass Effect 2 look way better on PC.

You wanna see a game ruined by consoles? Look at ME2 and DA2. Yet, the "maybe it will not end up possible that we are thinking about maybe starting..." crap the devs keep saying to keep consolites interested means that it was designed for consoles first and PC second. If anything, it sounds like the testing they've done on consoles is really bad so far since they can't confirm anything.

Either they changed the game completely in a few weeks or those screenshots are laughably altered.

GeneralShowzer

Every PC game minimum specs trash consoles. AC : Brotherhood i think minimum is 8800 gt. Every game requires 2 gb and 8800 gt. IT's not really a valid argument. GeneralShowzer

And all of those games look and play better than their console counterparts.

Whats not a valid argument again?

I don't know if I'm missing something, or you're missing something... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVoytJ9sXqk This has combat in it. GeneralShowzer

I guess if you played The Witcher in isometric mode(which was garbage by the way), then it would look pretty different. But CD Projeckt RED has made it clear from day one with The Witcher 2 that they wanted a greater action focus to the combat, and what they are showing is pretty much an evolution of the PRIMARY combat mode from The Witcher...

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

Unless the lolsoles can magically become non-crappy cheap PCs from 6 years ago I don't see how it can happen. I suppose it could run at 800x600 with no dynamic lighting, but that would hurt the experience.

Age has nothing to do with it. Its a hermit just acting like the rest of the consolites here.

Even the "repetitive clicking" seems to be mostly intact, just evolved and improved vs the original game. The primary difference is that it the camera is closer in...

[QUOTE="lawlessx"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] Na ah. Why can't i zoom out then and just relax and click? Because i can't. I have to pause the game, in 3rd person, select stuff from that ugly wheel, ect.. It's different.GeneralShowzer

But did you see the video :? It's not evolution of the old combat it's completely different stuff.GeneralShowzer

But I've never seen you critizing DA2 for turning into a hack n slash fest. In fact I believe you praised it in this thread and even said it was superior because the devs added what, 2 PC-only features? :?

No it is not....

The primary difference is that the new stuff involves more tactics with position and dodging actually mattering...

How you attack is the same...

[QUOTE="KingsMessenger"]

[QUOTE="lawlessx"] and your upset they didn't keep the repetitive clicking combat from the first game correct? granted i had no problems with the combat..it's 2011. They would be fools to think that same combat system would do well again.GeneralShowzer
