Just read that the ESRB just had a working xbox copy of this game.. if witcher 2 is to be released on the shockingly outdated console x360 than i wont be pre ordering Witcher 3 if it ever comes out mainly due to the fact i know every Witcher game in the series will now expect to be played on a Console.. And like Dragon Age before it..itll be crippled like 90% of any cross platform games

No console games are good on PC

I hope u dont sell out like every other company before you.. Please be the exception to the greed rule and still provide good PC games unlike every other company that just makes ports.

Based on your -18 rep, I am going to assume you're a troll, since they've always said the game was going to go to the consoles.

they said it might..they never confirmed it was ^

not a troll just hate consoles lol

Consoles are pretty awesome!

However, we have not announced anything on consoles so I don't know what are you guys talking about:)

Well, no one wants to admit it, but this game WAS cross-platform developed.

CDP, in their wisdom, said nothing of the fact, and released the PC version first.
This was so the PC gamers would pre-order, thinking they would get a real pc version of the game, like TW1 was.

But, meh, who really cares in this day and age, of console ports anyway?
Only us hardcore pc gamers, who refuse to use a controller, who have real pc monitors, and like to use ALL of the keys on a keyboard (left handers need arrow/numpad/del/end/pagedown, and ALL mouse buttons, including rmb and lmb, to be re-bindable).

Oh well.
Such is life.
Didnt take any skin off, so it doesnt really matter.

:D

im talking about the news spreading on the internet of a working xbox game being held by another company..

its leaked marcin dont need to hide now lol they couldnt of held it if it didnt exist lol...


dave u forgot the biggest things..
Bigger Maps,More Content,Better Looking,More Creative,Current Technologies..

If Witcher series is now cross platform than those things die almost immediately and kill the series for us PC pro gamers... The biggest reason behind my instant pre order of this game was to support the PC gamers movement/DRM Movement..this dies when it changes to console

As long as you guys work on the pc version first, and not the other way around, i don't really care if you would decide to port it over to the consoles. That way you get higher revenues and can continue to make awesome games.

i think there revenue keeping it PC exclusive is alot.
Anything more from this point on is just the need for greed.
Just like everything other company who has sold its soul for money.
I would agree with you though if only the Witcher PC series was done just for PC than a year later the crappy dumbd down console port was released.
But the moment i see console related cripplings in this beautiful game series i will sadly remove my support and pray another company comes forward and keeps its beautiful games unbroken by the console/casual gamers movement

I think its obvious that this will be the PC game ported to the console, not a console port. Considering the game was built and released on the PC first. But some of you will always find something to be upset about.

I dont care about porting to consoles either.

But, I DO care about what they do to the PC versions BECAUSE of the consoles.
They should have built the pc version for pc gamers, but they didnt, except for higher graffix.
They wussed out on key bindings, and menu's, and movement, and mouse accel, and aspect ratio.

I never bash a console game that is PROPERLY ported to PC.
And, I am not bashing TW2 yet either, since I just downloaded it, and havent played yet.
But, reports are all over the place, and it does seem like a sketchy port.

We aint talking about Witcher 2 genuis..its already released..what do u think we thought ?? that they would recall all the good versions and give us bad console port versions LOL @ Withateethuh

We are talking about the series being crippled from this point on if they embrace the typical cross platform approach we see every other company doing.

Fine, fuck off and play nothing but DX11 tech demos while PC and console gamers* will enjoy playing games for their gameplay, story, characters and atmosphere.

* What a ridiculous concept, I have a pretty powerful PC and a load of various consoles and like games on both.

This game does have a slight case of consolitis I must admit. I just hate the UI's they make for console games. For example I love the old grid based inventories which are dying a death because they don't work well with a controller. Morrowind -> Obllivion, Witcher 1 - Witcher 2 same deal.

For any multiplatform game they should completely redesign the UI for PC but nobody bothers sadly. Much cheaper to use a UI that works on consoles and is just about functional on PC.

Have you just been born - and from a particularly stupid woman? Please learn to read and learn to think before you even consider attempting to sound smart ever again.

I can play TW2 on max (not including the future-proofing uber-sampling). It sounds like you're doing some weird autistic version of overcompensating. What makes TW2 a good game goes far beyond its visuals. If I want nothing but realistic appearances, I'll look out my window or go for a walk - it's free and more realistic than any game. The gameplay and other elements of great games are equally reproducible on consoles, even the graphics don't take such a hit since the hardware doesn't have to support a bloated OS like PCs do.
