I hope they iron out the bugs and actually do bring this to the 360! Me wanty!

Nate-Dog5529d ago

Yeah I know it'd be nowhere near the quality of the PC version but from what I've heard about this game from players I'd jump at an instant at the chance to get to play it.

Dailynch5529d ago

Stupid high end PC's with all their expensive graphics cards!!!

Scrotie_McBoogerball5529d ago (Edited 5529d ago )

Meh not my fault that I can drop the price of a whole console on a component that just makes pretty pictures.

Ranshak5529d ago

Just get it for the PC. Play it on moderate graphics right now (which will still be better then Xbox or PS3).

Later on when you upgrade play it on even better graphics ;-)

@scrotie

A good GPU will cost you 200usd. thats not the price of the Xbox heres the price of the xbox:

300usd
60usd per year for xbl
10-20usd premium per game bought over pc version
add in super expensive accessories

In the end a Xbox 360 is costlier then a PC.

joydestroy5529d ago

it is made of awesome sauce

If millions of people paid top dollar for Fall Out Vegas then this game having a 100 bugs wont stop it from selling on consoles.

Console owners are conformaist and would by a turd with the word Call of Duty written on it for $60.

Scrotie_McBoogerball5529d ago

@Substance101

$200 will get you a low to mid range card at best.

$400+ mark is where I am when buying a new GPU. More than most consoles.

Substance1015529d ago (Edited 5529d ago )

@scrotie

Even if that is the range you are looking at, in the long run the PC is cheaper why?

because you need a PC at home anyways, its not like you dont need one.

Getting a 300usd console or 400usd GPU to play games, every game bought for that 400usd GPU is cheaper and will be playable for very long periord of time.

Goes without saying even the 200usd GPU will play most games out today in 1080p buying a 400usd gpu is an overkill for 95% of the games out.

Once that new console gen hits what ever you purchased for that last console is no longer playable on the new box, unless you keep rebuying the old console (something you dont need to do with GPUs to play older titles).

Console gaming is expensive in the long run and leaves you at the mercy of the console maker, its a fact no matter how you pull it. A recent example being of PS3 users not even being able to go online.

"Console owners are conformaist and would by a turd with the word Call of Duty written on it for $60"

Oh puh-LEEEEEEEEZ. Look at the best selling PC games. World of Warcraft and the Sims; them and all of their DLC/expansion packs, no matter how awful, trumped other games over and over. And as much as you'd like to believe that the online PC community is a bunch of geniuses, too smart for Call of Duty, I'll bet that steam sales would sing a different tune, if they ever released them. I know that COD was right on top on those '5 best selling' steam charts for a while.

Get off of your high horse. Come join us in reality.

TheXgamerLive5529d ago

actually, it would be very near the pc version, just not the same as a maxed out high end pc, which most people do NOT have.so chill with the anti comments. it would most probably be in 720p and that works for me and would for everyone else.

somerandomdude5528d ago

@scotie

I have a ati hd 5770 card (which runs at about 130 dollars now) and can play this game at ultra setting. Add that to a amd quad core and you have a nice gaming rig for the price of a console.

The myth that you need a new 1,000 dollar i7 pcu, and a 500 dollar graphics card to run modern games just isn't true.

i think with all the h8 pc gaming has been getting this gen by the console gamers.

too pricey.

no exclusives.

mouse and keyboard is rubbish.

broken multiplats.

i think CDP should make you wait and sweat it out.

console fanboys should be punished for the crap they have been dealing out.

your halos and uncharteds cost 50mill to make.

the witcher 2 cost 8mill and smashes any console game.

also remember this isnt a ea,activision or ubi game with millions of $$$ for advertising and been forced down your throat everytime you change the channel on your tv, this game will sell because its a game all pc gamers are gonna be talking about for years to come.

FEEL THE PAIN

Tr10wn5529d ago

I agree with you that The Witcher 2 should remain a PC exclusive for at least a year i'm having a good time playing through chapter 2, but there are consoles games better than The Witcher 2 for example RDR, Uncharted 2, Halo Reach and for my self i find it pretty hard to let L.A. Noire pass to play The Witcher 2.

TBH The Witcher 2 is pretty good in graphics and all that but the voice acting in the game is bad and not all games have to looks as good as The Witcher 2 to be good just wait till Skyrim come out and you'll see what i'm talking about.

FYI PC gamers are not unique, console gamers do the same with their games the talk about it as long as they remember.

SuperLupe5529d ago (Edited 5529d ago )

Damn I hope this comes to the 360, kind of game rpg that is kind of rare nowadays and I really like mature atmosphere of the game.

And contrarily to what fanboys want people to believe, RPG's sell truckloads on the 360, from the elder scrolls to the fable series amongst others. Except for FF13 for obvious reasons, I dont think any rpg, multi or exclusive has ever sold more on PS3 compared to the 360.

midgard2275529d ago

wtf r u talkin about, I had a customer at gamecrazy come in and return mass effect because you had to read to much, eternal sonata, tales of vesperia, infinite undiscovery, lost oddesy, blue dragon, star ocean 4, dragon age, final fantasy and even fable 3 sold like crap on the 360, none reached even a million. I think mass effect is the only one honestly with oblivion close behind.

fallout did ok but its more of a shooter.

all these games sell basically the same on ps3 so dont act like more people buy it on 360 when you "Think" it sells more.

I worked at gamecrazy for almost 3 years and I've seen sales first hand. sure sales change by region but its still what i saw, and the fact that most rpgs never hit platinum status is proof enough

SuperLupe5529d ago

What a load of crap. Not even worth a constructive response.

greatjimbo785529d ago

@midgard227. Any proof to support your claims?

Awsome game! I wouldn't be mad if it's a pc port to console! The Other way around maka me sad!

THWIP715529d ago

I've already been playing The Witcher 2 on my 360....well, actually more like my XBOX 720. PC, on Ultra Spec, with my wireless 360 controller = the perfect marriage. :D

manumit5529d ago

I envy what words you have typed. Oh one day i shall have thy "Ultra Spec" PC....Stupid money.

THWIP715529d ago (Edited 5529d ago )

...just sell a kidney, and make it happen. ;)

BTW...even on Ultra Spec, the game isn't as technically impressive as some PS3 exclusives...and in the facial animation dept., L.A. Noire kicks it's arse. So don't be so quick to harvest any vital organs just for the extra DX11 features. ;)

moe845529d ago

I think you meant DX9.

STONEY45529d ago

"BTW...even on Ultra Spec, the game isn't as technically impressive as some PS3 exclusives...and in the facial animation dept., L.A. Noire kicks it's arse."

Mainly because they are a very small development team who had only around 8 million $$$ to work with from what I heard. The don't have the budget to blow on facial animations. Besides, L.A. Noire kicks EVERY games arse in facial animations.

And graphically, the game is up there with Crysis and Metro. Kicks every PS3 exclusive's arse by far.

DeathMetal14745528d ago

"BTW...even on Ultra Spec, the game isn't as technically impressive as some PS3 exclusives"

LOL ps3 exclusives you mean like Socom 4,L.A.Noire is that even at 720P? Love the comparison
, PS3 exclusives don't even play at 1080P.

The actor who portrayed Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher series of games has died

Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.
