The Witcher Hits PS3 and Xbox 360 in Fall 2009, Publisher Promises 'Ultimate Con

Hmm, that's a tall order but I'm willing to wait & see - could we see the best version become the one they put on consoles ?

Ahh, don't go nuts on me PC gamers - just a little SW banter. :twisted:

The Witcher Hits PS3 and Xbox 360 in Fall 2009, Publisher Promises 'Ultimate Console RPG'

The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf

The first trailer and screenshots have arrived.

Publisher Atari today confirmed reports that developer CD Projekt RED will be bringing its acclaimed PC fantasy RPG The Witcherto PS3 and Xbox 360 next fall.

Dubbed The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf, the game is being "completely rebuilt pixel by pixel" for consoles and runs on an entirely new engine. As previously reported, it will sport enhanced visuals, a "completely new combat system" and new animations.

"Console gamers don't want to be treated like kids; the're ready for deep story-driven games, and we think we're delivering one of the deepest console RPGs ever with The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf," said CD Projekt RED CEO Adam Kicinski.

Atari is billing the game as the "ultimate console RPG," with CD Projekt noting its belief that the remake will be the "definitive console RPG." The adaptation is being developed by CD Projekt RED and Widescreen Games, which provided its DaVinci engine.

Looking quite good, I must say:

Quite a few RPG's on my console radar for next fall already:

• The Witcher
• Mass Effect 2
• Dragon Age: Origins

Wouldn't it be unreal if at some point in 2009, we who love RPG's would be like: C'mon, enough, I haven't the time to play all these shoo.... I mean RPG's. :D

That would definitely be a welcome change of pace. It would be nice to spend money on a few RPG's as opposed to what I usually spend it on, shooters.

Ah crap. It obviously means The Witcher 2 won't be arriving soon :(IgGy621985

I already have the EE, but it looks like I'll be forced to buy it again! Grrr! Oh well, I guess too much of The Witcher is never a bad thing.

I have to admit, The Witcher looks pretty smexy on consoles...

Well, it's the best RPG I played in the last 5 years, so enjoy it and buy it. The story is incredible and there is no wrong choices like in other RPG. A little like the Fallout 1 and 2.

You will not miss any quest because of your choices, you will only alteir the the path of the story.

I hope it will do good on consoles, afaik the pc version didn't make any profit and I'd hate to see them end up like Black Isle or Troika. Hopefully if they continue PC development with Witcher 2 or something, they'd incorporate the new combat system in that too.mr_mozilla

Well, it sold in million and a half copies or something. I mean, it's not a stellar achievement, but it's pretty damn good for a new IP.

Same time as Final Fantasy XIII. No thanks.Kratos_OMEGA
