The Witcher Enhanced Edition - What A Difference A Year Makes

Last October the team at CD Projekt Red released The Witcher, one of the best PC RPG titles of year, and they've been working on it ever since. Not in a big fixing sort of way, though surely some of that has gone on, but rather working on improving the title – enhancing it, hence the subtitle of next month's The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. See, despite the slew of awards and accolades the original release has received, CD Projekt isn't done. They are trying to build the perfect game, and they're not content to rest until both themselves and The Witcher community are completely satisfied.

I only briefly played the original and I think I'm going to pick this up to tie me over until Dragon Age.

Good for them. This is what all developers should do. If your gmae has problems (that you mysteriously missed) when it ships. Patch it. It's good to see Atari doing the same thing with Alone in the Dark.

I wasn't that the game had issues. It just wasn't where they wanted. The last patch was a patch but it was also more adding new adventures to the game as well.

The Witcher is simply the best RPG I have played. Ever. And no RPG can match the sword play in this one either. All of the mocap of the distinctive styles shows in the final product.

I will enjoy the reduced load times. They are some pretty long loads.

Wasn't there talk of a console version? Has anyone heard anymore about that?

morganfell6140d ago

Yes there has been talk and they said they were looking at the possibilities. In May-June they hired for the position of PS3 programmer CDProjekt was seeking. It had been advertised on their board for a little over a month and now it has been filled.

Also Tomasz Jonarski, a CD Projekt employee, had posted in a blog he was working on technology for porting The Witcher to next generation consoles: Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and that post was quickly deleted.

They should enhance it again to get rid of the many many remaining bugs and add gamepad support.
