2008-12-02 17:52:42 Images of The Witcher

Everything about this title is interesting to me...but I have a question.

They said they are gonna make a new combat system for the consoles just because for the controls.

Is the combat gonna be something like DMC, God of War, NG type where you press the buttons to do the sword swings and use magic, or is it something else?

If so, then I will definitely keep a closer eye on this, if not, then, ah well.

i have the extended version on pc and it's freaking awesome.

2008-12-02 18:00:12

Sath: honestly, don't expect DMC combat. It might be improved but it's still an RPG.

At any rate...it looks good. If these images are actually representative of what it'll look like running on my 360 it sure does whip the PC version.

*edit: also, looks kind of weird that he's using the wrong sword in all pictures applicable ^^

Megido, I am not expecting DMC style combat at all, I just want to know if combat is real time by me pressing the buttons to do various attacks and magic, thats all.

And yes, I knew it was a RPG and that is something I will remember.

One thing I forgot to say in the other thread is that the musics are awesome. Main menu one is so great.

Well, as it stands in the PC version you click to attack, right click to use signs (magic) and double tap a direction to dodge. I assume it'll be something similar in the console version :)

Well if thats the case, I am interested.

I mean as long as I do the attacks by pressing the buttons on the controller fighting in real-time is good enough for me.

I like the art and its settings, music, and RPG...combat is the only thing that worries me.
I am definitely not expecting action combat like DMC/NG type from this title because of the footages I have seen of The Witcher.

But if the combat is about me pressing a certain button to attack and use magic...etc. then its fine by me.

so much more prettier than the pc version. Hopefully the gameplay will carry over better too

2008-12-02 18:57:55

Never picked this up on PC, but always wanted to.

I'll be sure to keep an eye on this one.

2008-12-02 19:30:51

cool always wanted to play this game. but i dont have a good pc

2008-12-02 21:32:39

The PC version ran on the old Neverwinter Nights engine, so it was very inefficient.

These screenshots look more like mockups / concepts than even bullshots. The way the shadows look in the one shot look pasted in.

Anyways I hope this one turns out well. I think it's a very good idea to release this on consoles, because even the horrible Two Worlds sold LARGE amounts on 360. WRPGs on 360 = goldmine.

2008-12-03 12:49:12

Was Two Worlds any good on the 360 btw?

GeRaLTo: how can you possibly call DMC style action dumb as compared to "see enemy, click enemy until dead"? I'd welcome more action oriented combat, though i do doubt it. With that not saying that combat in the Witcher is bad at all, it works.

Kind of tired of the castles, trees and wooden crates.

I want my sci-fi action WRPG! :(

That looks great, really impressive, except it looks like there is more smog there then in most big cities o.o But I was really bummed when this game was PC only, I'm super glad its coming to consoles. Bout time we get a nice mature RPG =)

More action = Less rpg

2008-12-04 03:06:45

GeRaLTo i love your avatar. If only the rest of the world could comprehend the depth of the meaning of that simple phrase..

While this game is good, i was honestly dissapointed by it (on the pc). No character customization, no classes to choose from, no real difference between weapons or armor, it just wasnt an RPG, it was a 3rd person action game.

2008-12-04 07:26:15

Baleur: so just cause there is no character customization, that turns it into a 3rd person action game? Way to reason man. No matter the character building, quests, choises and stuff, there's no character customization so the game can't be an RPG!

Obviously they skipped out on the character creation as the game is based around the novels and the main character of those stories. How could you tell the story of Geralt the witcher if you made him Mr. Derp the Paladin instead? :P

Hey cool. Looks pretty damn good. Wanted it on PC, but however forgot about it... Now that's a cool thing it's coming even better to the consoles. Like it. I'll keep an eye on this. Hurray ;)

2008-12-05 11:36:21

Hope the guys from my country show the class on consoles.
