IGN - CD Projekt Red recently let the world know its role-playing sequel, The Witcher 2, is coming to Xbox 360. That's great news for those who play only on Microsoft's console or don't have a PC with enough power to get the game running, because The Witcher 2 happens to be one of the best role-playing games in years.
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.
The Witcher Trilogy bundle is currently listed with an 89% discount on Steam, and you can save over $60 thanks to this Summer Sale discount.
Daily Video Game writes: "Xbox Store has just launched two new digital game sales that heavily discount various Shocktober games, games from popular publishers, as well as Xbox 360 games that are backward compatible with Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One right now!"
excellent news for Microsoft and the 360.
terrible news for the 'the 360 has no exclusives' sony fanboys.
some good info in the interview too:
"We decided to release on 360 after the PC because we weren't sure about being able to move forward simultaneously on two platforms with the required focus. And compromise was out of the question since it would affect the quality on both. So, we decided to go our own way – for which our company is pretty well known. First, we committed ourselves to making the best possible PC game, and now, we're doing exactly the same on the Xbox version. "
"IGN: The Witcher 2 on PC is one of the prettiest games in existence with all the settings cranked up. Can you talk about the process of trying to transfer the same kind of visual quality to a console? Is it possible? And if not, what sorts of concessions need to be made?
John Mamais: To put it simply, we're aiming to deliver the best-looking Xbox title ever. There are some trade-offs in changing platforms, but mainly related to their respective capabilities. We created our game assets at the highest quality level, and the textures and models were made to be as efficient as possible. So we have a solid graphical base, and we know it runs on the 360. What's left is primarily a matter of post-processing. "
"The number of spoken languages we ship with for the 360 will probably be the main determining factor in regard to the number of disks. This has yet to be finalized. "

This made me laugh for minutes.
So does this mean its gonna have run and gun multi player?.
SO where are the fanboys who are going to bash the 360 for getting the game late? Because i remember when Mass Effect 2 came out on the PS3 people were bashing the heck out of it because it came a year later on sonys console.
Anyways if its comming later because they are going to code it specifically for the 360 and not just port it over then thats a good thing for 360 owners. However i will say this i do not believe that the 360 version will be the same as the PS3 one. I dont doubt that it will look good its just that it wont be on the same level as the PC. However the difference should not be as big as Metro though.
Best news Ive read in a LONG time! Wow first MGS HD now this...Man it feels good to be a gamer!!!!
