The Witcher Headed For The Consoles

5:30PM Luke Plunkett | This developer diary says it’s for The Witcher: Rise of the Wolf. Never heard of it? Neither have we. The diary, however, says it’s the console adaptation of previously PC-only The Witcher. Game designer Jakob Stilinsky says that the console version (for PS3 and 360) will be a little slicker. It’ll feature extensive use of motion-capture for the character animations, have better lighting and environmental effects, improved enemy AI and full achievement and trophy support. Seeing as this game is yet to be officially announced (this obviously being a leaked promo), we’ve tagged this as rumour until Atari make things a little more official. Just in case there’s one person in the world who thought it’d be funny to fake a leaked developer diary for the console port of a Polish PC role-playing game. More »

The Witcher Enhanced Edition Update Now Available

12:20AM Mike Fahey | CD Projekt Red’s super enhanced edition of their excellent RPG The Witcher should be on its way or indeed on the shelves of a store near you as we speak, but as promised, owners of the original game can now get everything included in the super mega mega version completely free via one hell of a download. The main patch, which includes animation changes, performance tweaks, and generally makes the game better weighs in at 1GB, while grabbing your language pack is another 500MB. Finally there’s the bonus pack, which contains new adventures, two CDs worth of music, and the bonus content from the box set, all scrunched up into another 1.5GB worth of data. Part of me wants to get this started right now. The other part can almost smell the freshly-printed box scent of the retail version. Decisions, decisions.
