Witcher 2's Enhanced Xbox 360 Edition May Be the Ultimate Edition (PlanetXbox360)

From the PlanetXbox360.com feature preview:

"First and foremost I'm a PC gamer. So, what am I doing writing about the Xbox 360 edition of The Witcher 2: Assassin's of Kings? I've already beaten the game, twice in fact, so why should I even care?
Well, for one, there's new content. More than four hours worth. There's also been a vast array of improvements made for the 360 edition. Improvements that make even a PC gamer like me intrigued.

In fact, after playing The Witcher 2 on Xbox 360, not only is it certainly the Enhanced Edition, but it may very well be the "Ultimate" edition."

Day one purchase for me!

[LaurenKB123]

Great write-up... glad they are adding and making some special content just for Xbox 360!

[pr0digyZA]

Its not just for 360. In fact I'm sure PC players are hoping for a PS3 version then if any extra content comes for that then they will get it free as well (Microsoft on the other hand will sell as DLC).

[NYC_Gamer]

I brought the game on PC and would love for the Witcher 2 to hit PS3....there is no reason why it shouldn't... the game deserves to be played by all gamers.

Edit:Why all the stealth disagrees toward mine and ProdigyZA comments???

@NYC_Gamer
If you mention the hint of a PS3 version you'll get them.

[Tai_Kaliso]

You act as if Sony doesn't charge for DLC or something. Why would PC players hope for a PS3 version?

I agree that it would be nice for everyone to be able to play it, but I'm realistic about it. It looks as if the developers have moved on to two separate next generation projects and they are a small company.

If your dying to play it, pick it up on PC or Xbox 360.

@NYC_Gamer

Maybe because of the attitude of most PS3 gamers when it comes to exclusives. When it's only on PS3 you get comments like "Awesome game, only the PS3 can have such a great title." Then when it's PC/360 exclusive you get "Great game that should be played by all gamers, hope it comes to PS3". If an Xbox gamer was to say he/she hopes a PS3 exclusive comes to 360/PC so all gamers could enjoy it. You'd get comments like "LMFAO 360 can't handle it".

If you want to play The Witcher 2, get a PC or 360. End of story.

"You act as if Sony doesn't charge for DLC or something"
I never stated Sony doesn't, if roles had been reversed then it would be the same situation.

"Why would PC players hope for a PS3 version?"
Think of it this way, they said they will never charge PC for dlc "All DLC for the PC version is and will remain free," Badowski emphasized. "That's not likely to be the story for the Xbox version, because of certain Microsoft policies that need to be followed. But on PC, once you buy our game, you don't need to worry about any additional costs – we will provide all updates, including those featuring new content, for free."
So following this if a PS3 version is released they will want to offer extra content to entice PS3 buyers to buy it, as Sony and Microsoft both have a policy that if a game is later than the other console then it must have extras. This would mean PC gets it free as previously stated.

"If your dying to play it, pick it up on PC or Xbox 360" I have had it day one on PC and cant wait to get the enhanced patch, but am a big fan of CDProjekt and would love them to get a lot of revenue for future games.

[Kalowest]

All of the new content is coming to PC for free. After the 360v is released, a update for the PC is going to be released late on.

[Letros]

Sounds great for Xbox gamers, I plan to run through this Enhanced Edition again on my PC, maybe try Dark Mode this time.

[M_Prime]

i am getting it... at first i was gonna shelve it and play SKYRIM first.. now SKYRIM is getting shelved and WITCHER2 is gonna get played. I just have to pick something short to tide me over until the 17th ish..

[NYC_Gamer]

Its great that CPR brought the real experience and not some half ass effort for 360 only owners...the controller option has always been in the game even on PC though..plus the new features/content will be available for all who brought the game on day 1...

[GamingPerson]

seeing how the pc version launch at $45.. This is CD Projekts first $60 game.. so I feel in a way I got a good deal.

I would think 360 owners should get more since they are paying more.

[Kalowest]

"I would think 360 owners should get more since they are paying more."
Hopefully they kept the nudity in, I want the full uncensored The Witcher 2 like PC.

[pr0digyZA]

? he shouldn't complain how it felt better with a controller when there was always support for one.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

I know right. He just wants to say 360 version is better.

[StayStatic]

Yup , some false facts in their such as:

"Well, for one, there's new content. More than four hours worth"

Also free DLC on the PC , makes it sound like a 360 exclusive : /

[_LarZen_]

The day The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition comes out, pc players can download a patch for free that gives everything the X360 edition has but with even better graphics.

So just plug in your wired X360 controller and experience The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition just like on the X360 but with superior graphic on day 1 :)

[Tai_Kaliso]

I guess it depends on your setup, I hear the Witcher 2's graphics for the Xbox 360 are medium to good settings on a PC.

I know people here like to act like every PC gamer has a killer rig, the reality is not very many do. I remember when they were showing original Battlefield 3 footage and there was an article saying that less than 1% of PC owners actually had a PC that could run it the way it was supposed to be run.

[Bladesfist]

Well me and all of my friends do :) and they pulled that figure out of their ass. They should of atleast gone with the pc specs from bad company pc players or something. Might as well have pulled the figures from facebook

[M_Prime]

i agree, i have a decent system but i use ONBOARD video.. its alright for the few games i play on the PC (that are old, like CIV2, SIMTOWER and CHILDREN OF THE NILE) but i rather play on my xbox then invest in a $200 video card. My brother has a gaming rig and it was fairly expensive to put together (even though i built it myself and looked for deals) however a 360 is cheaper and can do a decent enough job..

Sometimes it is a matter of convenience really, i used to be a HUGE PC gamer, but i was spending way too much time and money upgrading hardware. I just decided that XBOX was the way to go for me, no hassle, just turn it on and play.

[_LarZen_]

It's true that many dont have a monster rig at home that can run The Witcher 2 at max settings. But that is a discusion for a other time and place.

This article says that The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition for the X360 could be the ultimate edition.

And that's just plain wrong :)

The pc version after being patched up to the enhanced edition for free wil be the ultimate edition hands down, end of story.

[KeiserSosay4788]

Changing your powers on the fly sucks with a controller, imo. I tried to use one because third person games are pretty good with a controller but I just couldn't get down with how inefficient it was comparatively speaking to a mouse and keyboard.

[M_Prime]

lucky for me i don't have the comparison, i will be controller from day 1 so i know i will get used to it.

[Rampaged Death]

Have mine pre ordered. Can't wait to slay some elves and get the horrid taste out of my mouth that was left by Fable 3.

[SPAM-FRITTER-123]

bad taste? fable 3 came out years ago. the witcher 2 is nothing at all like fable 3.

P.S fable 3 is an amazing game.

[caboose32]

Why do I always see xbox sites claiming that they have the definitive version of the game? Do they not know that this content is not exclusive to them?

This guy is incredibly misinformed.

[Hicken]

I wanted to say "Let em dream."

But then I thought about how they could, instead, brag about the fact that they've got this game coming while PS3 owners don't.

Now it's more like. "Wake em up."

[CrzyFooL]

If the game had come out like this on PC a year ago, I'd agree with you :-)

[HarvesterOSarow]

I will play this game.

[arbitor365]

if your idea of "ultimate edition" entails playing a game with a lower resolution, half the framerate, and no access to mods (both present and future)
