The Polish game studio CD Projekt is hiring for two new games, and it sounds like neither one is The Witcher 3.
On April 17 Xbox 360 gamers get their first taste of Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, the first console instalment of the popular PC role-playing game series. Did they miss anything in the first game? Not if they watch this video they didn’t.
Xbox 360 gamers around the world are eagerly anticipating their chance to get in on this whole The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, but does anyone really know what a Witcher is? Of course they do, and after you watch this video so will you.
I caught up with the CD Projekt guys in Sydney earlier this month, and they seem to believe that, with The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition, they’ve created one of the best looking games on the Xbox 360. This trailer seems to be a strong argument for that assertion.
Perhaps you have heard that The Witcher 2 is really good? Because you know what, it really is!
The developers behind The Witcher series are done with DRM for its PC games. Seriously. It says that no game the company releases going forward will have any kind of DRM whatsoever.
“We believe that games we make deserve support,” says Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, Senior Quest Designer at CD Projekt. “You couldn’t call the extra stuff being added an expansion pack. We are trying to be fair and honest with our customers. We believe that the things we have added, customers should get it for free, because they have already paid for the product.”
If it wasn’t already obvious, it should now crystal clear: CD Projekt isn’t like other developers.
The latest trailer for the coming Xbox 360 “Enhanced Edition” of The Witcher 2 is a percussive lil’ thing, featuring lots of intercut action, as well as at least a glimpse of one of the trademark steamy love scenes and a forest tableaux that just screams “See? The game looks fine on the Xbox 360!”
In case Kirk Hamilton’s preview of The Witcher 2 on the Xbox left you with unanswered questions about the 360 remake, here’s CD Projekt with a professionally produced video filled with colourful lights, sounds, and people talking about making the game.
