The Witcher 2 was recently debunked as coming to consoles, and is only seen it's unlikely. As of 20th Oct 2010.

When did Diablo 3 get announced as a 360 title?Iantheone

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=27506865&tag=topics%3Btitle

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/31551/New_Blizzard_Ads_Seeking_Diablo_III_Console_Devs.php

"Multiple new job ads show that Blizzard Entertainment is hiring leads to develop Diablo III for consoles, a surprising development from a studio known for its commitment to PC gaming.

Diablo III was confirmed for PC in June 2008, with no mention of console versions. Previous Diablo games have been primarily focused on the PC, though the original Diablo did get a PlayStation port in 1998, well after its January 1997 PC release.

The developer, also behind World of Warcraft and StarCraft, is hiring "lead designer, console," "lead programmer, console" and "senior producer, console." The newly-posted positions are under "Diablo III." Gamasutra has contacted Blizzard for comment on the new ads.

The job ad for lead designer on the console version of the game says that ideal candidates have "prior experience in console game development" and an "extensive knowledge of Diablo." The lead programmer ad looks for "an experienced engineer to lead console development on the Diablo team."

The original Diablo launched in 1996 and saw expansions as well as a sequel, Diablo II. Blizzard said in 2008 that the franchise has sold 18.5 million copies.

Diablo III for PC does not yet have a firm release date, but has been deep into development at least as of its unveiling in 2008, according to Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime."

CD Projekt has revealed during its spring conference today, that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will be heading to consoles as well as PC.
This means that for the first time, PS3 and Xbox 360 owners will be able to play as Geralt on their consoles – which confirms what senior producer Tomasz Gop told GRY-OnLine back in September of last year.

Tomasz Gop: We're releasing The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings in Q1 2011 and it's coming out on PC. Regarding any other platforms nothing has been announced yet. Nothing has been promised yet. Nothing has been shown yet. But everything is kept well secret and planned for.

http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,770624/Witcher-2-Tech-stuff-from-the-best-game-at-Gamescom-2010/News/
Since the game is optimized for consoles, which have a lower bandwidth, the streaming function works very smoothly. Within chapters, there are practically no visible delays until certain textures or areas become visible. When it comes to multi core support, Tomasz Gop explais us that the game had mainly been tested in an Xbox 360, which has three cores. So, on PCs, The Witcher 2 is expected to run best on fast dual cores
The textures look mostly detailed, but not great. At the moment, there is no advantage of the PC version beyond higher screen resolution.

I'm pretty sure Metro 2033 was always supposed to be multiplatform; it's not even an entry in an already-started series. A one or more of the developers worked on STALKER, but otherwise it's a new company with no history of sticking only to PC to be had.

My link trumps all those in terms of being the latest article :?

Furthermore, whilst there may be plans to bring it over, it is neither an announcement, nor is it confirmation.

[QUOTE="Iantheone"]When did Diablo 3 get announced as a 360 title?AcidSoldner

I find it funny no one knows every MGS besides 2 and 4 are exclusive to Sony.Fightingfan

They also planned to bring The Witcher 1 to console but look where that went......

There some thing I saw in The Witcher 2 gameplay demo that would not be possible to do well on consoles like the ghost soldier fight.

It seems much of this thread was based on speculation more than actual proof/announcements/confirmation of rumour. How bizarre :?

Lets see, Dead Rising series, ME 2,Bioshock series,Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, Lost Planet series, Fear, GTA 4 DLC, and im sure im missing other 360 Exclusives that went over to PS3 now. This is just off the top of my head. (In other words, thrid party exclusives are dieing out and no console is immune to this except maybe Wii, but thats because alot of their third party stuff is meh or cant be done without the wiimote, atleast not well.

Note: While Dead Rising 1 is still only on 360, the franchise is now multiplatform, in addition to Mass Effect surely.

Metro 2033 was a P|S3 exclusive shooter. Now it's on 360 & PC

Only Wicther1 was cancelled exactly becasue they wanted to focus on consoles this time, thus the new streaming engine with no load screens, that is already running on 360

And they have confirmed the game for consoles many times, you really think after PC wont make it happen ? 100 million users is too much to pass by

Actually they said it would only come to consoles if they can get the experience they want on it. If it's not up to par to PC, then no console port.

y'know i was just going to let the poor guy flounder about but i'm having a hard time with anyone trying to pass off a bunch of games ps3 fans said they did not want or like or came out a year after the 360 version meaning as much as announcements that set sw on fire back in the day like GTA, ace combat, virtua fighter, devil may cry and final freaking fantasy.

i say at best tie ball game and at worst ms came out in way better shape if for no ther reason that the timing and how having those games gave the 360franchises that no one thought it would ever have.

Actually they said it would only come to consoles if they can get the experience they want on it. If it's not up to par to PC, then no console port.

ChubbyGuy40

Actually they will make it so, the game has been designed with consoles in mind from the begining, streaming engine, user friendly interface etc

It is all in the interviews really

And you think they will miss 100 million users ? They will make it happen, simple as that

It is not like Dragon Age 1-2, Risen, Gothic, Two Worlds, MAss Effect, Fable 3 etc are not fine examples of how well a 3rd person RPG can work on consoles, they are not really going to make a miracle happen

The new engine though is not memory hungry like Witcher 1 one, and is made for streaming, which is 100% suitable and the best it could be for consoles

Also is confirmed to be running on 360 already

And making the user interface more streamlined will actually make the PC game better too AND is fit for consoles as well

Actually the things they considered for cosoles, ram and interface will help make a better and more optimized PC game too

Fans hoping to play the console version of The Witcher 2 - announced alongside the PC game last year - were dealt a blow today after CD Projekt described it as merely a "potential" release.

Even if the console version does come to fruition, it's "not likely" to launch alongside the pillar PC game.

"All I can say for now is that it's not likely for any POTENTIAL [sic] console release to be simultaneous [with the PC game]," senior producer Tomasz Gop told Eurogamer this morning.

He then apologised for being able to offer only a "no comment" on the console game's current status.

Still think the game is 100% confrimed for consoles?

Hmm, I hope you're right if it does end up coming to consoles. Though, too many times I've heard the words 'streamlined' and 'interface' in a sentence and end up with some interactive mess on my screen (Oblivion, Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2 come to mind). I'll guess we'll see how this pans out, because anything can happen at this point.
