Witcher 2 dev calls out Dragon Age 2 graphics and more

"We have a better story, better choices and better grapihcs". They might just be right.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] The Witcher 2 engine is a multiplatform one. It will look more or less the same on consoles.GeneralShowzer

:lol::lol::lol:

you dont actually believe that do you?

The Witcher 2 is not an open world game, nor it has any amazing physics... From what I've seen the environments are very constricted, a lot more consticted than the original. Dunno why people are hyping it as a graphical masterpiece or something.

Just because an engine is multiplat doesn't mean it isn't powerful. Look at Cryengine 3, it is superior to Cry2 but it runs on consoles.

What was that about graphics? Also, I would like to point out it is not running on consoles, they will be doing some tests to see if it is possible once the game is released on the PC. If you've been following the game you would have known that the game is vastly more open than the first game, hell there is like three load screens for the whole game.

Bioware and Bethesda need to learn a thing or two from these guys. And on the graphical front, I don't expect them to be technical marvels, but do they have to be flat out ugly and bland?Deathtransit

Doesn't change the fact that DAO entertained me for 80 hours while the Witcher did for maybe 5 before I got bored and stopped playing.

[QUOTE="SAGE_OF_FIRE"][QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] Meh, they could have looked a lot better.Boomshaffted

Witcher 2 will easily be miles better than DA2.rcignoni

I doubt it will be miles better, both games will be damn close for sure. Well thats my opinion.

Witcher Boobs>Dragon ages

Tis true

I don't think the Witcher screen looks better than the DA2 one. I probably would assume they were from the same game if the Dragon Age wasn't labeled.

[QUOTE="Boomshaffted"][QUOTE="SAGE_OF_FIRE"] Yep, they textures were horrendous. ferret-gamer

One probelm. Dragon Age didn't have any black and white, good or bad choices. There was no morality system at all. It was very similar to The Witcher in that respect.

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]

[QUOTE="Boomshaffted"] Oh lord... The games looked very good in motion. I'd hate to think what happened if you saw some bullshots of a game coming out and said "that game looks good" only to find out that it had bad particle effects or some such - why, you'd have to take back whatever you'd said about it looking good! The games looked very good. I was impressed, seeing as Bioware's graphic efforts are usually mediocre at best. If you're honestly trying to suggest "the game looked bad" rather than just nitpicking some isolated elements to make it sound like the games DIDN'T look good... Could things have been improved? Yep. Did the games look great? Yep. Nitpick away - whatever a bleh job they're doing on DA, they did a standup job with Mass Effect.Boomshaffted

He's right lol DA2 looks like 2008 game :lol:, the witcher 2 looks fantastic.johny300

Anyways we should wait until both are out but.... we can't really judge the gameplay for either game yet and Bioware has yet to disappoint me. Sure ME 2 isn't that great as an RPG, but its still an amazing game worthy of all the praise it got.

I don't see why they have to talk crap. Dragon Age: Origins for PC was better than The Witcher so it's not like they have bragging rights yet. I think The Witcher 2 is going to be the better game as DA2 looks very streamlined, but come on, not necessary. I don't blame him, it's an odd question that was obviously looking for some insults to make news.

[QUOTE="rolo107"]If this was anyone else they'd be bashed to hell for being overly arrogant; even if they were right.

He's jus bitter cause DA will sell more :P

I'm sure it'll blow DA2 out of the water graphically, but I found The Witcher to be just as boring and generic in the story/setting and morality departments as DA:O, and at least DA:O had some quality dialogue and voice-acting.

PBSnipes

No doubt I'm amazed at all the hate , they will both be awesome on my pc bioware allways makes an entertaining game they have never been about graphics so what the big deal.

the Witcher 2 won't be a threat to Dragon Age 2 on consoles, as Witcher 2 is PC onlylamprey263

Personally, The Witcher 2 looks way better than Dragon Age 2 and I'm a big fan of DA: Origins. I haven't played the first yet, and I want to do that before I buy Assassins of Kings, but even then The Witcher looks cooler than the first Dragon Age. I don't know which is better since I've only played DA, but really, The Witcher has looked cooler from day one. There's no reason for people to ask how will you differentiate the games. The Witcher looks unique, Dragon Age looks bland. Granted, DA: Origins hooked me with gameplay, characters, story, world once I started exploring it all, but at first sight I wanted nothing to do with DA: O. The Witcher just looks more interesting.

Meh, They both look like the same generic WRPG games we have played for the last 10 years.

This is one of the reasons I loved Demon´s Souls and I´m looking forward to playing Two World 2.

Wait? Two Worlds 2 doesn't look generic but these two do? Now I'm lost. :?

Demon's Souls looks bomb though. Can't play it since I don't have a PS3, but you can bet I'll be all over Dark Souls when that puppy releases! ;)

Ew, why does Dragon Age 2 look so darn ugly?

Lol. I like him.

Both games are a big meh though.

I really liked the first witcher (except the parts where you have no control over ARGH) but the graphics for the first one sucked so bad, I don't think witcher dev's have the right to even talk about graphics Roushrsh

They don't have a right to talk about graphics considering TW2 looks amazing and TW1 is 4 years old? Makes sense

It's funny they have the stones to call out Bioware on graphics even though Witcher 1 used a modified NWN engine and looked pretty bad.

Vaasman

The more I hear about DA2 the less I want it.Marka1700

and im loving The Witcher because of that aswell.

The Witcher 2 is looking like a fully fledged PC RPG while DA2 has sacrificed itself for money making purposes.

and to all people saying the first witcher was technically not very impressive, don't forget it was CD Projekts first game!

probably nothing like the budget they have for the second, they did great with what they had.
