Destructoid writes: "Today, Atari officially announced The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The news isn't exactly shocking considering that a few days ago we caught a leaked video of a developer spilling the beans on the title. Regardless, there are a few interesting facts from the new announcement. The most notable one is that the game is being "built from the ground up" to better reflect the console experience.
That means new combat centered around the utilization of a controller and an entirely new engine to ensure both consoles are being used effecting. In addition to this the game's developer CD Projekt RED is promising "a ton of other features that will play to the consoles' strengths." The fact that I will eventually be able to play The Witcher while lying down is almost good enough for me.
Aside from the new the new engine and combat, it remains to be seen how much content will change from the original PC title. Generally speaking, most PC-to-console games only add a few new environments and missions. Oh, and it is coming out quite soon. According to the press release listed after the break, expect it around Fall 2009."
CD Projekt RED, the studio behind The Witcher series and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game, are still considered as newcomers on the video game market yet they have already garnered a following. What is their secret?
G4MERS: "Tomorrow CD Projekt is a press conference at which, as they predicted, will reveal something big. Leaks have hit the web say that the great thing is to confirm earlier rumors that the first Witcher was to appear on PS3 and X360 platforms."

Woohoo!! Awesome news. I'm glad we all get to enjoy this game
I hope the also do super bundle for the PS3 that comes with both Witcher 1 &2.
Never played it, sounded good though, will definately pick it up if it comes out on console. Whats better about it than the second though??
the alchemy system was alot better, and it just seemed more non-linear to me at the time. The combat is much worse though, and the start is pretty slow. Most of all, it wasnt aiming for a mass audience, it was just trying to be as good as possible.
Ah okay, cool. The alchemy system was a little off in #2 I thought, and having worse combat is understandable for an older game. Still, I'd love to experience the story of it!
Cyberludus is pleased to publish for you the interview that was given to us by Tomek Gop, Senior Producer of CD Projeckt RED, who has graciously offered to reveal intriguing new details about their upcoming game currently in development: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.
So what are you waiting for? Do not waste any time because the following lines might reveal intricate arcane secrets and satisfy your curiosity about The Witcher 2, enjoy!
Lets hope they dev it on each console to really bring out what they both can provide. And if they choose to port, lets hope its from PS3 to 360. I have played enough PS3 developed games on both platforms and the difference from a 360 port is phenomenal on both consoles. PS3 and 360 gain.
Looks like it had high scores,the only problems people had were the load times, bugs, voice overs, and main characters zombey like fighting.
