Witcher 3 on xbox ?, Witcher 2 graphics almost as PC, exlusive new controls

http://gamingnexus.com/Article/The-Witcher-2-Assassins-of-Kings-Interview/Item3403.aspx

.

This interview changes everything, console controls will not be patched on PC and graphics seem to have gone up to PC standards for the final game

.

The PC version of the game supported the Xbox 360 controller, have you changed how the controls worked at all since then? Will you patch the PC version to support any changes?

The re-design of controls I mentioned before was done for the benefit of Xbox players. These changes will not apply to the PC version. We are leaving the control system unchanged. As I mentioned, all the other in-game content will be available for free to PC users.

.

.

So you're adapting the game to the console, could you tell us what the difference between adapting a game and "porting" is?
We've rewritten the game code so it feels native to the console. We've rebuilt large parts of the game so we can achieve the same fidelity of gameplay that we have in the PC version. You'll be amazed by how much we squeezed out of the Xbox 360. We dare say The Witcher 2 is one of the best looking games ever to be released on this platform. On seeing the X360 version for the first time, many people were amazed that it looks almost as good as it does on the PC. Also we re-adapted the controls for the Xbox gamepad, that is to say, the PC version supported gamepad controls, but now they're close to being perfect. Also, the spectacular combat in The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition really flows on the Xbox 360. You feel like a real sword master as you slash through ranks of foes and roll through pools of monster blood.

.

Was there ever any thought to holding the PC version off until the 360 version was ready?
No. But in our development plans our next large titles will be released at the same time for at least two platforms.

We announced in November that we will publish two AAA+ multi-platform titles in 2014 and 2015. Both of these will be non-linear, story-driven RPGs. But that's about all I can say at this point. We're likely to announce some details soo

.

Obviously Witcher 3 is already planned for PC/xbox720

.

Best version of Witcher 2 confirmed, controls are everything in a game

Wow another Witcher thread from loosingEnDs....

Cease and desist

loosingENDS

Thats exactly what you've been doing these last few months...

but whatever, I'm not gonna argue with a troll like you. Just hit the good 'ol report button and bail out.

Later.

PC version has the best controls because keyboard-mouse >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> controller by 100.000.000.000.000x times by miles.

Indeed,for sure,of course.

I have a question which I want you to answer seriously....

Why?

What will you gain by doing so?

if its a sucess it will launch simultaneously.

IF witcher 2 tanks then thats a whole new kettle of fish.

razgriz_101

But if it is not a succes, will be due to the 1.5 year later release on 360, so how can they deduct anything from that about a simultaneous release ?

Almost every WRPG that released same day on PC and 360, sold far more on 360, like Oblivion, Mass Effect 2, Skyrim etc, so that means they have to do a simultaneous release to see such results

Not really, the previous news were not about next projects, like Witcher 3

Also they had not confirmed controls will not be patched on PC, so the best controls will be on 360

Now it is 100% confirmed that 360 is the best version by miles and that Witcher 3 is definatly planned for xbox, so is rather different than the previous thread since tow huge major news have been added

you dont understand simple buisness economics do you?

if sometings not profitable why bother? witcher 3 might fall into that trap if they dont advertise it enough and on top of that all those games mentioned have astronomical budgets compared to witcher 2.

BTW why is this not coming to PS3, in Poland PS3 probably owns about 65% of market while Xbox 360 holds about 35%? Not that Poland is the centre of universe or something, but I think it'd be maybe more profitable, still? Most importantly because the game is Polish and has a reputation?Salt_The_Fries

That said, TW2 360, teh definitive version confirmed. :twisted:

How will they know Witcher 3 wont be profitable if it releases same day on xbox/PC ?

Definatly not from Witcher 2 that released 1.5 year later

To be profitable they should make the game xbox exlusive and sell 5 million like Fable 3 and not 1 million on PC

That's nice that more get to enjoy their games. :)

No loosingENDS, your wrong, the grpahics won't be better, not by a longshot, and your seriously lacking in the brains department if you think that.
The only thing the 360 version has over the PC version is a set of controls...which were good on m+kb anyway?

PC is the superior version in every way, shape & form, there's no denying that, and the reviews will prove that.

It's funny, because I played the first with M&K and the second feels the same... and it's great. I don't need a controller for this game... so best version PC?

But seriously. why are you making yet another topic on Witcher 2... it's a weird fetish you have.

Controlling 3rd person games with KB+Mouse is a nightmare, the worst gaming experience i can think of

So, no

The developers themselves state how much better it plays on 360, so it is by miles the best version
