Can't wait to rent this. Can you rape and plunder in this game? Is the combat any good? Is the game any good?

While they're bullshots, the PR says they're making a new engine and combat system
LONDON, UK – 2 December 2008 – At the ATARI LIVE showcase event in London today, Atari and CD Projekt RED announced plans for the global release of The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf on PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft in autumn 2009.
Based on the story of multi award-winning million-selling PC role-playing game The Witcher and completely rebuilt pixel by pixel for the new generation of consoles, The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf brings the unrivalled RPG experience to Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 with a brand new combat system for thrilling dynamic action, and a new engine delivering matchless state-of-the-art visuals. The game is underpinned with the evocative and enthralling story which helped secure the original game’s status as PC role-playing game of 2007, based on the mature and compelling universe created by renowned Polish fantasy writer Andrzej Sapkowski.
“The creative vision and dedication to the quality of the player experience that CD Projekt RED bring to the Witcher games is extraordinary, and it’s great to be working with them to bring the Witcher universe to console gamers,” said Phil Harrison, President of Infogrames Entertainment, the parent company of Atari. “Taking this brilliantly realised world to PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360 gamers for the first time is a breakthrough in the development of this important franchise.”
“We’re thrilled to continue our great relationship with Atari, whose refreshing focus on quality fits squarely with our own, to bring Geralt and the Witcher franchise to an even larger audience – fans who expressed to us very clearly that The Witcher would be a natural fit on consoles,” said Adam Kiciński, CEO, CD Projekt RED. “Console gamers’ tastes are maturing; they’re looking for deeper story-driven experiences that are very hard to find in today’s console market. We’re developing this remake based upon the compelling narrative that helped The Witcher on PC sell more than a million copies and win more than 100 awards, building everything else from the ground up to be the definitive console RPG.”
Based on the universe created by best-selling Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf puts players in the role of Geralt, a professional monster slayer who exists on the fringes of a complex society troubled by the kind of problems more commonly found on the front pages of newspapers than in a fantasy universe. Taken as a child, mutated, and trained in the arcane ways of the witchers, Geralt is a reluctant hero, who nonetheless finds himself all too frequently in the heat of battles that are not his own. In this world there is no right or wrong, only decisions and consequences.
With The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf, the best PC RPG in recent years is being completely remade as the ultimate console RPG. The title is being developed by a core team from CD Projekt RED working alongside France-based Widescreen Games who provide their cross-platform DaVinci engine technology.

WHERE'S THE (WHITE WOMEN AT?) HUD?
Maybe they can make the graphics look that good by the time it hits the stores (2010 .. mark it down). Of course, by then .. it won't look as impressive.
-
Looks like Two Worlds. Those are real.
-
There's nothing amazing about those shots (The Witcher was never a great looking game), but it does seem like it could be a great port. Will be interesting to see how they adapt the PC control scheme to the consoles.
edit - OK, I just read the PR and it seems to be an entirely new game. Could be worthwhile...
-
If these are bullshots they are the worst fucking bullshots in all of bullshotdom. Weird looking grain filter (or are these scans?) going on here but it all looks very 2006.
-
Loved it on the PC, but don't see myself replaying it.

It doesn't look even remotely that good on my PC with everything maxed.
They changed the lightning renderer, aside from it. I don't see anything different.

Reminds me of Fable now

How does The Witcher compare to the Bethesda RPGs?

"Bullshots" doesn't necessarily mean the shots look impossible or amazing, just that they look shopped, faked...which they look to me.
-
The last two are very bullshotty. look at that sky! also, there's some serious AA going on that I bet won't make it into the final game.
-
In all honestly, the 360 should easily be capable of running the game at max settings.
The game isn't exactly power hungry.
-
It's not very well optimized though. Max detail settings sure, but I doubt they'll have high AA, AF, and Vsync. Who knows...they're a bigger, richer company since they released the PC version, so maybe they'll turn out something better optimized.
-
Superior version confirmed. Glad I waited!
I'LL KILL Y--i mean, I'm happy others can play it now.
You can enjoy the awesome dialogue:
"Why do humans hate dwarves?"
"I don't know, why do pricks go into cunts? It's just the way the world works."
Talk to dwarves, all of them. Dwarves are awesome!!!
-
glad i waited lol
-
I'm interested, I'm just curious to see what a Polack made game is like... surprised the first Polish game to my knowledge turned out to be a WRPG of all genres... gotta support my (ancestors') people.

can't you get laid in the pc version? will that still be in the console version? this is a very important selling point for me
