The Best Port Of 2012: 'The Witcher 2' On Xbox 360

Forbes - As much as I loved finally being able to play Dark Souls on PC, the port itself was a disaster. From Software’s inexperience with PC led to a game with no graphical improvements and only the barest-bone keyboard and mouse support left many feeling let down with the title.

Idk it would prob be between TW2 on 360, DkS going to PC, or P4 going to Vita. All 3 are huge deals for their systems. I'm balls deep in the TW2 and P4 right now although Devil Survivor Overclocked stole me away momentarily. Ni No Kuni and Fire Emblem are on deck for the next few weeks.

Persona 4 Golden definitely... It adds not only HD visuals, but so much content to the game. Not to mention the lower price point than regular console games, as well as the bonus things (like music players, cutscene players, commercials of all the Persona games, live performances, etc.)

No doubt in my mind that's the best port of 2012.

DonFreezer4113d ago

The Witcher 2 is the best port of 2012 hands down.he game was much harder to port so cudos to their developers who did an astonishing job bringing this Skyrim crasher to the Xbox 360.Now Persona 4 is an astonishing game but not in any way that hard to port to a superior system.

Snookies124113d ago

Soooo, this is about difficulty, not content? Lol, in that case alright, I get the disagrees. :]

Mutant-Spud4113d ago

I don't get The Witcher, call me a simpleton but I've never been able to get my head around the upgrades and combat/potion system in either game, it has to be said though that the 360 port looked excellent given the limitations of the machine.

haggishurler4113d ago

You simpleton, I loved this game on PC and Xbox.

MYSTERIO3604113d ago

I hoping, but im not sure they'll be a Witcher 2 on PS3, please CD project red ive been a good boy all Christmas lol.

DudeJets4113d ago

Unfortunately your correct there probably won't be a ps3 launch for it. Which is a shame.

Kran4113d ago

scuse me... Alan Wake on PC.

THATS how to do a port too.

BanBrother4113d ago

Alan Wake is one of my favourite games of all time, but I heard the PC ports higher resolution just makes the bad textures (inside houses etc) stand out.

The Witcher 2 was amazing, as they did not charge full price, which is great. It is also one of the best looking games on console IMO, maybe in the top ten. Such as shame that it took a PC port to show the 360 devs how it is done. Amazing game, still wishing for The Witcher 1 on 360/PS3, as was originally planned.. sadly, there is a fat chance of that happening.

CrustifiedDibbs4113d ago

alan wake on pc was an awesome port minus the low res cut scenes.

AsheXII4113d ago

Absolutely not, the game is a visual mess. Heck even the hair of the characters get clipped inside their faces.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - 10 Years of CDPR on Console

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - Enhanced Edition debuted on Xbox 360 10 years ago, laying the foundations of CDPR's console releases.

kevco33736d ago

10 years and I'm not sure they've done anything better since...

pietro1212736d ago

I take the Witcher 3 over part 2, but Cyberpunk was a disappointment. God I hated Johnny Silverhand so much.

Xbox Store has just kicked off its Black Friday game sale -ahead of PSN- - Did they get kickbacks for saying this?

Here is a link to PlayStation Indies -1349 items
https://store.playstation.c...

Here is a link to November Savings - 590 items
https://store.playstation.c...

Here is a link to the Under $20 sale - 230 items
https://store.playstation.c...

PlayStation's Black Friday sale starts tomorrow with hundreds more games.

It's kind of a joke to act like xbox is EVER beating Sony to a sale. Sony always has 3-4 sales going on with thousands of games. PSN having 1000+ games is just another Tuesday on PlayStation.

DJStotty886d ago

Relax, it is just an xbox black friday sale....

prophecy886d ago

Listen, this site decided to make it a competition. Why don't you ask them why they needed to add that part about PSN.

DJStotty886d ago

@prophecy

The same reason if it was the other way around, it would be worded "PSN black friday game sale starts now before XBL"

Nothing in it, just stating one has started before the other, if this kind of thing triggers this kind of reaction, speak to someone.

prophecy886d ago

I have never seen a PSN sale article that mentioned anything about xbl, much less made it seem like any type of competition.

PROPHECY just took fanboyism to a different level. SMH seems like some people are insecure about their console.

Not everything in life is a conspiracy. Chill out........

DaveZero886d ago (Edited 886d ago )

Agreed sometimes fanboys just need to stop because there is nothing going on to support fanboynonsense.

Do not know why people just cant enjoy games and have to ensure all sorts of cracked up conspiracy drama.

Gaming4Life1981886d ago

Chill and just buy all the games you want that's on sale. All consoles will have a black friday sale.

BenRC01886d ago

Omg dude, you'll get some aaa games soon I promise! Let xbox have its month in the sun.

BrainSyphoned886d ago

Thanks but my rental service is all I need on Xbox. Like the other article states if I want to buy a game to keep it is physical on PS.

CBaoth885d ago

Yep. Buy 1st, 2nd, and 3rd party on PS, double dip on 3rd party PC, buy occasional 1st party on Nintendo, and rent on Xbox. I'll never buy another game from MS since it's apparent developers get paid quite handsomely off GP contracts according to Xbox fans here

Father__Merrin886d ago

There's no need for them to say ahead of PSN they have done so due to paid shilz nothing more
