the NPC reaction system sounds neat. i just hope the QTEs aren't overdone and that there's a barber somewhere, Geralt really needs to get his hair cut.

JudasIscariot: QTEs = consoletardization detected!!! Decline!!
I really hate the "Press X to not die!!" moments....I hope this alpha build will change ...for the better.

If you look at the trailer well, you'll notice it's not a "not to die". It seems that they'll implement it well in this game (unlike a few I know).

WOW! Can not wait!
Too bad that my main rig is dead and I'm completely broke, I would love to replay the first game again.

looks sweet, geralt's voice is horrible, and i hate QTEs. but I'll probably get it. Ard is by far the best ability in the original game, no other magic ability came close to in usefulness

Heh, just 2 days ago I was talking about how I hope that Cd Projekt is working on Witcher 2 in addition to the Rise of the White Wolf. And now it's reality! Woo!
Simply said, The Witcher is my all time favorite rpg and I can't wait for the Witcher 2. I just hope that they don't rush it. I want a fine, well developed game with enough beta testing to get rid of the bugs before the release. I want the game to be as close to perfection as possible.

that looks like just the sort of RPG i've always wanted to play. Must check out Witcher1 sometime, as it seems this series might actually be more like a decent novel, and less like most horrendous crpgs.

If its still available grab the Directors cut from the Web and Latest Patch... DRM and Censorship free edition then...
i hope Witcher 2 isn't using the darn Aurora Engine.... that thing was pushed so hard it lagged my rig to hell and back... and i can run most modern games without breaking a sweat...
edit: just watched [url=]http://kotaku.com/5362182/the-witcher-2-debut-trailer[/url] im praying to all that lives that The Witchers voice is only a place holder... having the voice change that much could easily break the entire game for me... oh please get the original voice actor!
here this is the original Witcher voice: [url=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaS9flqjKRs[/url] pop in about a minute but... man seriously that new voice could easily make me pass on the game that's a game breaker for me...

The Witcher's voice is the developer's -- don't worry it is a placeholder.

So it's more like press button x to progress further or if you don't want to lose lots of hp. Don't know how it can be implemented well in any game.

CD Projekt RED has published their official statement about the leak of The Witcher 2 presentation movie
“Of course, we can’t and won’t try to deny the facts. The movie that appeared on the various sites yesterday presents our newest project, The Witcher 2, which we’ve been working on for some time. We made something about half year ago, to present the first playable version of the game.” said Adam Kiciński, CEO of CD Projekt RED. “Currently we are looking for a potential publisher (or publishers) for this title, and this leak is an uncontrolled side effect of that process. For today, we are not commenting on anything that concerns the game itself.”
More information about The Witcher 2 will be unveiled alongside the official announcement.

I can give you a quick answer for that. Heavenly Sword implemented it well. It was necessary, they had a few moments of "press X not to die", but it was used sparingly enough not to be too detracting or too invasive. Shenmue (the one that probably introduced it) implemented it well too (at least, much better than the Resident Evil series)

Looks promising, I hope that this engine will be able to deal with user made modules/adventures, that the game will be harder rather than just more spectacular because the first one was really unsatisfying after you reached high levels. And the final wish : NO CONSOLES RELEASES !

This does look rather good for an alpha build, and his hairstyle isn't that different from Vesemir's in the first game (doesn't really bother me that much). The combat looks the same, although Aard seems to be closer now to the ridiculously powerful Force Push in KotOR. The most important thing I'm looking forward to is increased realism in dynamic NPC reactions - it lends a lot toward the verisimilitude of a game.
I would also personally like to see the QTE system disappear. It doesn't really lend anything meaningful to the interactivity of a scene. If they do decide to leave it in, I hope they'll take an approach to QTE more like MGS4 than, say, RE4. That being said, The Witcher 2 will be one of the few games I'll be following and anticipating.

Looks nice, but unless it is DRM Free I will wait until such time the DRM is removed for good.
Posted September 18, 2009
I don't understand the complain on the new hairstyle. The QTEs though are another story =(
