Wow, I wonder if it's just the 360 or the PS3 as well. Either way I'm definitely picking it up, if I can't build my PC by the time it comes out that is.

It'll be kinda lame without the first Witcher, but I certainly wouldn't mind buying it again for the 360.

Have you not been paying attention to the forum? The Hermit mentality concerning The WItcher is pretty much "NYA HA!" with their tongues sticking out. Hermits took the opportunity to emphatically prove they aren't the slightest bit more mature than other types of fanboys.

It's a good series, but don't get your hopes up *too* high. PC gamers tended to blow it a bit out of proportions because it was practically the last major traditional RPG released exclusively for the PC any more (the first one). In the golden age of PC RPGs, The Witcher 1 would have been middle of the pile. I'm too busy with Minecraft right now to get into The Witcher 2, but after seeing the PC community slobbering over the only pretty good Witcher 1, I'm taking the hype with a grain of salt. Probably well worth getting, but hey, so was Dragon Age 1, and it was only so-so.

Doubt that very much. A 9800 gt can even run it better than that. @ 720p the 360 could run the game medium easily.

Have you looked at the PC board recently Boomshaffted? Most don't care if the game ends up on the consoles. The only real worry was if the game was taking full advantage of the PC or an console port. Now that the game is already out for the PC who cares where it goes.

I think (or at least I hope :P) the vast majority of real life PC gamers aren't like some of the forumites here.

Again I played through the entire game with a 360 control, on hard at that. Combat is easier imo.

In one of the trailers that came out just before release they said it was also coming to the PS3. Its at the end in one of their quick messages that you have to pause at the right time.... Anyway, it seems that maybe the console versions are further along than expected.

CD Projekt cares about it's fans too much for that to happen. Crytek, on the other hand, just likes money.

I hope this to be the case. Crysis 2 is such a depressing game. It's on the cusp of greatness at times, but it never really succeeds at what it wants to do, and it ends up feeling flat and disengaging, the polar opposite of its far superior predecessor. I'd hate for that to happen to the Witcher.

360 could run the game just fine @ 720p and some optimization. Key word optimization, which is the a major advantage the consoles have. The fact the engine was built with consoles in mind only helps.

I doubt it will. CD Projekt has been better to their fans than just about any other developer, and I can see that trend continuing on consoles. :)

This was the worst kept secret ever, but a lot of PC fans still wanted to believe it wouldn't happen (I don't really know why, who cares?).

It obviously was, but, I never imagined it'd be this quick.

That's good. I am getting a new laptop in the mail soon that should play games fairly well. I have never gamed on PC, so I don't know what to expect.

The 360 I got for free is getting sold though, as it's to redundent to keep.

I havent read anything like that from the main witcher 2 thread:? its mostly praise:| you sound paranoid:o

Eh, I don't know. First page of this thread alone has four pointless one-line-of-negativity posts to the effect "It'll suck on consoles!" I've been seeing posters like that dropping things to the effect of "LOL we have the best looking RPG EVAR that's not consolized garbage ROFLCOPTER!" littering the board for a few days now. Granted, not everyone, but there are plenty of rational and even-handed console gamers out there too - the bad ones just reflect poorly on the whole group. This is just showing that the PC crowd isn't as rise above it as they sometimes like to come off as.

They added it is coming one day or something along those lines and a smiely. They probably assumed the viewers were smart enough to comprehend that it had a double meaning.
