360 version coming on the 2nd quarter. Enhanced Edition:

Developer CD Projekt RED has made numerous tweaks and fixes to the original game, further optimized the controls for the console (even though gamepad controls for the PC version were already in good shape), and is said to have added over four hours worth of new quests. The story-arc for these additional quests revolves around the kidnapping of royal heirs which will have the player experience new locations, characters, and dialogue.

Well damn. No mention of the PC version of the EE but I'm sure CDP will give it to us for free or something.

BRB replaying Witcher 2 PC.

New news, new thread.

Question for early adopters of the first Witcher: did you get free update to enhance edition?

I am quite curious.

New news, new thread.

Unfortunately you left my post in the old thread, making me look like some sort of hallucinating lunatic.

Yeah.

 

[Aeana]

I really, really hope it is a success on 360. It really deserves it.
I will probably get it just to have, but I do hope that extra content makes its way to PC as well. Knowing CDPR, I'm not worried.

free.

 

[benzy]

It's not releasing near other heavy hitters of 2012 right? I hope this sells well.

Sure.

I'm certain we'll also get this.

 

[papersleeves]

Already have the PC version. Will buy the 360 version.

 

[The Return of]

I really need to get a new 360 or repair my old one by the time this comes out. I've been looking forward to playing this for awhile.

 

[Gravijah]

ah, cool. can't wait to play it. maybe they'll pull a crysis and we'll get the witcher 1 someday in dd form.

ITT PC beta-testers get mad since 360 gets full version.

ITT PC gamers who know CD Projeckt's track record know they'll get the update for free.

Nobody is mad, because CDPR has a track record for giving new content to old customers for free.

I'm pretty sure that boat is rickety enough that it'll never sail the open seas of another platform. Nobody would risk it.

You're going to feel pretty stupid in a few minutes.

*high fives*

 

[Felix Lighter]

I just started playing. I'll just continue with what I have and once this hits PC, I'll probably go for a second play through.

 

[Akkad]

ITT PC beta-testers get mad since 360 gets full version.

Really? I don't see any of that.

 

[teh_pwn]

Hope this means Witcher 3 is close behind. They implied that they started on it before 2 finished and it seems they wouldn't need to modify their engine a lot so they should be progressing pretty quickly.

 

[Gravijah]

then i'll just play it when my computer is up to snuff.

Doubt it. They tried to port it before, but had massive problems with the port house (widescreen gaming).

yeah,i know. strangers thing have happened~

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Yeah.

free.

Sure.

I'm certain we'll also get this.

Great, thanks for the quick answer!

There's a new CG intro, too (we've seen it in the 360 trailer before).

This might be relative to vanilla Witcher 2 anyways, they've already added a couple of quests and that arena mode so a bunch of extra quests and that new tutorial would do the trick.

 

[scy]

Curious as to how meaty the "Enhanced" stuff is. Not that I need much to get me to replay the game.

 

[Aeana]

There's a new CG intro, too (we've seen it in the 360 trailer before).

Yeah, they showed it during the 2.0 unveiling. Also said PC users will get it when the 360 version releases.

I feel the same. I'm really looking forward to it.

 

[Inferno313]

Probably going to be double dipping. I played through Vanilla Witcher 2 on PC at launch. But my laptop could hardly handle it, played at lowest settings at 15-25 fps. It was such a good game though. I'll be looking forward to doing a Roache play-through (Did Iorvath on the PC) in a hopefully stable framerate this time.

 

[scarybore]

Already have the PC version. Will buy the 360 version.

Same, held off on playing a Iorveth path so I could do it on the 360. Completely nonsensical really, but I guess I can give the game to my brother once I'm done and hopefully get him into the series.

 

[erpg]

Has there been any new media for the 360 version?

 

[ironcreed]

I am glad it got moved to the second quarter. This onslaught of releases needs to be spaced out more.

 

[SenorDingDong]

I figured the new content would be focused on

Spoiler

Letho after the CG trailer seemed to highlight his assassination of Demavend.

I'm also fairly certain in at least one interview the dev's made mention that the PC version would receive any additional content that was being created for the console version. Though I don't particularly care to track it down.

I think I'll hold off my third play through on dark mode until this hits.

 

[feel]

Will buy as soon a possible, I have to support at full price the way this PC developer is treating this console port.

 

[Chinner]

itt pc fans are happy that more people get to play an amazing game

 

[OdysseusVA]

2nd quarter? It was delayed again?

Edit: fuuuu if the source is correct then it was delayed

 

[Seanspeed]

Haven't played either Witcher game yet, but I'm really looking forward to this one going by how much everyone has raved about it.

 

[mjc]

I'm playing through the first one right now...can't wait.

 

[scitek]

Doubt it. They tried to port it before, but had massive problems with the port house (widescreen gaming).
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Witcher:_Rise_of_the_White_Wolf

That's a shame. I've tried playing through the first on PC, but the UI is off-putting to me. I don't like fighting with mouse clicks, either.

 

[Peff]

2nd quarter? It was delayed again?

Yes, I suppose it might have had to do with that Namco/THQ mess rather that development issues though.

 

[Phonomezer]

I need new footage!

 

[LowerLevel]

There had best be an at least half way decent ad campaign for this. Advertising can be key, just look at Lost Odyssey's first month.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Has there been any new media for the 360 version?

Not since E3 I don't think.

 

[nonnocere]

Good news for everyone!

More content, more fixes!

Hooray!

 

[Xater]

I need new footage!

So do I! I hope this turns out to be a good port. I am really excited for it.

 

[Rad-]

I will buy it but I have a strong feeling this is going to bomba. Most of the hype seems to have died by now.

 

[Dabanton]

Uhhhh can we have 1 thread where people are just happy that a excellent game is getting shared with more people?

Not saying this thread has been the worst example of that but lets stamp it out before the thread goes down the usual tiring routes.
