I think there is a glitch on n4g. I did remember hitting agree and some how it become disagree instead. Also sometimes, i might click one time but it register twice so they get 2 agree/disagrees. Very odd.

The game looks awesome on the 360! Here is hoping that the game generates enough money for a PS3 version. Everyone should enjoy the greatness that is The Witcher 2!

Ah, sounds like they couldn't squeeze the lot in for the 360 release after all.

To quote a quote from the article:

"Our newest game has been enhanced with many new features, and according to many specialists it’s one of the best looking games on Xbox 360 ever.”

Don't just read the headline and make assumptions without reading the article.

I just hope they don't develop the Witcher 3 with the 360 version primarily in mind. They would probably dumb it down.

1. i will buy this day one, it looks fantastic and no i havent played the pc version.

2. if it sells better on 360 you can almost all but guarantee the game will be primarily a console rpg next time around and ported to the pc later. games is a business and devs/pubs will follow the money.

@CrazyInsane

id be inclined to agree with you there. i only game on consoles but typically when its on pc first it ends up with more features overall ( usually becuase they add more features then cut some for consoles but still leave the ones that work )....they seem to develop with the weakest platform in mind instead of developing with the strongest platform in mind and then cutting down to make it fit on the weakest.

@bim

well hopefully they continue that business ethic becuase then both us console gamers and pc gamers will all get the best possible sequel

@ Captain Qwark 9

CD Projekt has a very different business ethic than a lot of other video game companies, though.

A lot of people assumed the Witcher 2 would be designed for consoles first due to the somewhat disappointing sales of the original, but they opted to release a DRM-free PC version instead.

They should develop The Witcher 3 with a PC in mind just like this one. Plain and simple. Cause if they choose the consoles as their primary platform THEN the game will be heavily dumb down!

Dude, what in the world are you saying ? Why would they make the console first and then port it on the pc? that will kill their fan base, the witcher was always on the pc and started on there. I will not stand to have a inferior port from a console when the home and origin started on a pc! And i dont know that most of these folks are talking about? When you port from a pc to console, the game is much much much! more esaier to code from, proof? To make ANY video game, what do they use to blend the mechanics of the frame and the art of the coding? A PC!!! Ding ding ding! in all sense, the PC is the mother of all games! Its starts on a PC and plays on a pc and then is coded (not ported) on a console!

"if it sells better on 360 you can almost all but guarantee the game will be primarily a console rpg next time around and ported to the pc later."

One of the reasons why some true PC gamers hate consoles. The PC have given so much and yet treated like thrash afterwards. Console gamers kept asking why can't everyone, console and PC gamers, just be nice to each other regardless of their preferred platform: You comment is an shining example of why.

You can buy a HD6870 for 150 euros, I did it. Cost me less then a 360 and now I can play all my multiplatform games in Full HD.

Hell, I can run BF3 on Ultra. Amazing what you can do with shelling 150 euros.

I'm well aware of what you can do with a PC and the relative cost based on what you want to do. Some people don't want to go through the hassle, so console releases for some people are the option they are most comfortable with.
