Badly written article nothing but hearsay.

BlindGuardian5217d ago (Edited 5217d ago )

Witcher 2 is the only reason I still own a 360, but this and the press conference the studio is giving next friday where they are supposed to announce something important makes an strong case for the PS3 version

the day it's announced it's the day my 360 is traded in

also, games spread across multiple DVDs don't make good collectables, all in one disc is the way to go

Deputydon5217d ago

I own it in PC, yes legally, but I would pick it up for PS3. Its easily one of the best RPGs of 2011, and probably all time. I just really hate Action RPGs on PC. They feel much better supported with a controller, but I did play the Witcher 2 hooked up to my 46inch Sharp, so that looked amazing. The game really doesn't take that great of a PC to run. Just turn Ubersampling off. I didn't notice THAT big of a downgrade in graphics, but it is noticeable, but my FPS dropped from 50 to 14 with it turned in.

bumnut5216d ago

I played the whole game with an Xbox controller on PC.

Deputydon5216d ago

Cool story bro. I don't have a gaming controller for PC because its rare I buy those types of games on PC. My PC gaming is generally reserved for FPS games like L4D, Counter Strike, TF2, and Battlefield 3. No reason to spend the money on a controller I'll barely use, I'd rather buy another copy of the game because its worth double what I paid for it. Its an amazing game and its a shame so many people pirated it.

Hellsvacancy5217d ago

I hope this is true (not that im gettim my hopes up) it looks like a game i KNOW im gonna like, it looks awesome in other words, i wouldnt buy a 360 to play it, ill just go without and have to wait for the Witcher 3, which im sure will be on the PS4

Laxman5217d ago

Would be great for PS3 users who might not have an Xbox or a good PC. From what I hear its a great game (will be picking up the 360 edition next month). But I dont think this is real, we wouldnt be seeing a PS3 edition till much later in the year if one is indeed going to be made.

I see no reason why a game like this shouldnt be on every machine.

C0MPUT3R5217d ago

CD Projekt have already been on record that they only wanted to work on 1 version at a time. PC 1st, 360 2nd, PS3 3rd.
.
It will be on the PS3 this fall I guarantee it.

NYC_Gamer5217d ago

Hope it does so PS3 only owners could enjoy it

Game4life5217d ago

i bet its an april fools joke.

masa20095217d ago

It's a mistake. Both PS3 and 360 versions would not release at the same time, or they would have promoted the PS3 version as well.

kza5217d ago (Edited 5217d ago )

This is the only time iv regreted not having a 360 because lets be honest theres NO point otherwise LOL @ (disagrees). Anyway i really want to play this game, hope it comes to ps3 soon!!

Tai_Kaliso5217d ago

There is no other reason to own a 360? Gears Of War, Lost Odyssey,Splinter Cell Conviction, Halo, Forza, Fable, Alan Wake, Left 4 Dead or some of the better third party games that actually play better on the 360?

Cant believe you have agrees instead of disagrees. I'll be happy to be the first disagree anyway.

ksense5217d ago (Edited 5217d ago )

if you are not into shooters 360 doesn't give you much reason to own it. splinter cell and l4d came out on pc. alan wake especially was a pretty good reason but even that is on on pc now. i believe pc and ps3 is an awesome combo. pc for online gaming and ps3 for the cool single player exclusives and 3rd party games that do not come on pc.

kza5217d ago (Edited 5217d ago )

You have answered your own question. None of those game are as good as ps3 exclusives Demons Souls,Infamous,Uncharted,GT5 need i go on lol.

Tai_Kaliso5217d ago

PC is not a console, I realize its an argument that people like to use, but console exclusive is exclusive nonetheless.

The games I listed are all available on a single home gaming console.

I'm not a huge shooter fan, love Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscovery,Last Remnant, Crackdown, Ninety Nine Nights, Ninja Blade, Halo Wars, Viva Pinata, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie Nuts And Bolts, Kameo, Dead Rising, Prey, Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4.

There are some of the titles I own on the Xbox 360 that are exclusive and that aren't shooters. Quite a lot more than shooters my friend.

ksense5217d ago

wow another guy that thinks pc is not a console....it cannot be called an "exclusive" if it can be played elsewhere without having to own an xbox. please look up the word exclusive in the dictionary. i can easily connect my pc to my home hd tv and connect a controller if necessary to enjoy many games especially with the deals i see on steam i have so many games that i haven't even had time to get to.

Tai_Kaliso5217d ago

@ksense
Microsoft doesn't look at the PC as a competing console, I don't really care what you think personally. I don't look at a PC as a gaming console.

Microsoft allowed Remedy to publish Alan Wake to PC. Why? Because Microsoft owns the publishing rights and didn't feel the PC to be a competing platform and its not.

I don't use PC gaming, I don't own a PC for gaming, more power to those that do, but it doesn't mean you can go to Gamestop or Walmart and pick up the games I listed and play they in another game console that isn't the Xbox 360.

Its a bunk argument that people use to make it seem like the Xbox 360 actually has less exclusives than it actually does.

If PC gaming were so accessible, why are people with PS3's hoping for a version of Witcher 2 so badly? Just hook up your PC!

Exactly...

Rageanitus5217d ago (Edited 5217d ago )

This is my opinion... I own an xbox, ps3, and pc... and quite honestly the only reason to own and xbox is halo and gears.... and I don't fancy halo that much at all. As for Forza... IMO GT is still better.

Other than that there is not much, unless you are tied to your friends on xbox live.

Yes PC is by definition is not a console... but it can still be classified as a gaming platform ;)

Its like calling an iphone not an mp3 player but I can assure you alot of ppl use the iphone as an mp3 player

Almir9085217d ago

Wow good argument listing old ass games that people don't play on the 360. Not to mention Gears of war, Splinter cell conviction, Alan wake, Left 4 Dead are all on PC. It seems like Gears of war 3 is the only one worth mentioning

MysticStrummer5217d ago

The only one of those games I want on PS3 is Left for Dead. The others either have a better counterpart on PS3 or I just don't care about them. None of them make me consider going out and buying a 360. People can honestly disagree with you without being trolls and/or fanboys.

andibandit5216d ago

Xbox360 if youre into online gaming,
otherwise PS3

The reason for this is that the PS3 gets shafted on alot(NOT ALL) of updates and bad ports.

Just this weekend there was Operation Raptor, for multiplayer in Mass Effect 3, however it was only for PC and 360.

I played Homefront a few years back, and despite it being a below average game on 360, it was absolutely HORRID on PS3, did they ever fix that game on PS3?.

Im not even gonna go into details with COD.

My take on reading the Skyrim forums was that there was more problems on the PS3 version.
And of course patches went out for 360 before PS3.

Battlefield 3, Portal 2 were a few games that went against this trend.

No reason lol. I could say theres no reason to own a ps3 if you dont like uncharted but that doesnt make it true. You will be that guy next gen that has no clue when we all talk about the best games from last gen. We will go on and on about the fun we had with all these different games and you will keep bringing up the same 3 games over and over like a broken record.

I bet you also said mass effect sucks and then jizzed yourself when me2 came to ps3. Funny how that works huh? In a rumor article begging for a port of the witcher 2 claiming theres no games you want lol. You sir are a contradicition.

guitarded775217d ago

@kza
I have 3 PS3s and 2 XBOXs... if I could only have one system of the two, it would be my PS3. But to say there are no other reasons to own an XBOX besides the Witcher shows your lack of knowledge about the XBOX. It most certainly does not have the number of quality exclusives that the PS3 has, but it does have some great titles like the Gears series, which is one of my personal favorites, Alan Wake series, Fable series and the Halo series. I failed to mention Forza because I prefer Gran Turismo by a mile (pun intended), but the XBOX 360 also has various exclusive titles, that are worth a gamers time and monetary investment. Say what you will about Kinect, but it has it's practical applications and can be a lot of fun when you have multiple people playing. Knock the XBOX all you want, but the fact is, you're the one missing out.

Why does an obvious fanboy like kza have five bubbles?!

Only on N4G can something as cool as bubbles be utilised to spread what can only be regarded as stupidly opinionated AIDS.

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.
