Some footage from the canceled console version of The Witcher has surfaced over on YouTube, and it really makes you ache for what could have been.
VG247: CD Projekt RED has confirmed that the canceled console version of the original Witcher is still being "considered"."It definitely is considered. No particular plans though," said The Witcher 2 senior producer Tomak Gop, speaking with VG247.
Its to bad it does not sound like it really will happen. But as long as Witcher 2 comes out on the consoles that will be great.
VG247: With CD Projekt having now formally announced The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings – along with nice assets to back it up – we grabbed some time with senior producer Tomek Gop to chat about the game's new engine, what's going on with The Witcher on consoles and what to expect from Geralt's sophomore release.
"I remember that before release of The Witcher we got an opinion from ESRB saying that “the game contains really little violence compared to the amount of sex”, while at the same time PEGI was like “hey, the mature content in your game is so teen, you could easily spice it up a bit if you’d like”."
US vs EU, too funny.
Summary of CD Projekt's conference and Polygamia's interview with the company about The Witcher 2, the console port of the first Witcher, Good Old Games and more.
Yes! Rise of the White Wolf is not cancelled! this is brilliant news, really looking forward to the sequel Assassin's of Kings, The Witcher is the most amazing RPG i've ever played! Cannot wait!
My only hope is that this game is not in any way toned down by a console release. I wanted the "dark fantasy" Dragon Age to be it's match, but DA is bloody milquetoast compared to The Witcher. The language is foul, the locals are horny, and the morality is truly gray. The Witcher is not a series that needs to be censored.
"They want the game to be published in identical form in all countries..."
a sign that you'll get your wish?
Just kidding.
The first The Witcher was amazing. One of the most enjoyable RPG's in my opinion.
hey now they are be using their own engine developed from the scrath :D
dynamic night and day weather, advanced physic etc.
Still haven't played the first one. I'll def pick it up after I beat Dragon Age the first time through.
its ashame that us console owners wont be able to enjoy :(
i don't know if my pc will run it ..but im definitely interested in this game. The PC footage i've seen blows this away.
Video no longer available :(
Anyone knows where can i find the vid? i really wish to see it :)
So I never knew it was cancelled :/ At least I'll be getting a moderately good gaming PC in a few weeks so I'll probably pick it up for that.
How do you think a 2.6gHz AMD Athlon II X4, 4GB RAM and a ATI Radeon 5750 will do on this?
As fun as it would have been to play the Witcher with a better, more action-oriented combat system, I'm much happier that we're getting a whole new game (Witcher II) instead.
