TigerLord: "We are proud to announce the Witcher 2 will be launched on console for Christmas 2011.

I'm sure this will come as no surprise to our loyal PC fanbase, who firsthand witnessed the abysmal interface and some of the questionable design changes we introduced from the very beginning as we always intended to release TW2 for consoles, but didn't want to upset our PC fans.

Console owners will be happy to learn we've designed even the PC version with a gamepad in mind since the very beginning, so you are guaranteed a joyful gameplay experience. You will be able to order a console collector edition as early as September, which will include high-quality extras, including the bust of Geralt himself, sculpted in authentic marble-like material and plated with gold and platinum. We saved the good stuff for you guys!

As always, thank you for supporting us, we truly appreciate it.

CDProjekt RED, Console Division"

Your heard it here first!
Yep, pretty much this.

Goodmongo: A console version. This might be the last Witcher game I get then. I'm already disappointed in the UI so it just confirms my fears that consoles will be more important then the PC to them.

And why am I trolling because the UI reminds me of a console design instead of one built for a PC? Not to mention the QTE's and some other stuff. I don't mind them porting to XBox but I do mind it when it makes things worse for me on the PC.

So because it comes to the consoles and you don't like the UI you're not going to buy the next game? What?

UI reminds you of a console game, it has QTE (which you can turn off except for fistfighting) so this must mean they have done this all with the Xbox in mind? what the fuck? This doesn't make any sense.

because they dont like something is a great reason not to buy something actually. are you so stupid that you think that you should buy things you dont like?

As I wrote I don't care if it appears on an XBox. I do care if the design makes my enjoyment of it less on a PC which is my choice in gaming. I suppose you like those QTE's during the boss fights then? I don't and if they continue down the path of designing for a console instead of the PC then I may exercise my right and not buy the third in the series.

It's a good thing the UI isn't the entire game, shock horror this game wasn't made to stare at the UI all day wondering where it all went wrong, what demonic spirit possessed them to make such an atrocious UI etc etc.
Surely it can't be just about the UI and the fact that it's coming to the Xbox?

I personally have no problems with the QTE's, which you can turn off, I just don't see how this was designed for a console.
Each their own though.

I know you can make QTE's easier but how do you trun them off completely?

Talk about a reaction to something which does not effect you.

Makes you wonder why developers make console games with the whining they recieve for a game which is not out, based on assumptions that they are all of a sudden abandoning PC, it is possible for a developer to go multiplatform without leaving the PC out, look at Valve.

listen, the UI is probably about you know one of the BIGGEST PARTS OF THIS GAME.


almost everything you do is part of the UI. its a horrible ui, its a limiting UI and its got console written all over it.

if they had half a brain they would have made the UI for PC, then adapted the games UI to consoles but instead they screwed over their largest part of their fanbase.

Well look at the UI differences between TW1 and TW2, thats a dead giveaway


CDPR, can I has a PC UI DLC plz?

....and yet again the PS3 gets shafted, thanks guys.

So TW2 comes to xbox360. Well that came as no surprise. However I don't understand people complaining. You got a pc, you got the game, you enjoyed it. Now they'll bring it to the xbox360 and make even more money. This will allow the company to grow, and improve TW2 and create TW3 and make it even better or release it faster.
