But with The Witcher 3 or maybe 4, I bet you'll be right.
Did I said it was consolized?

Of course, one will reads the way that wants to read. The fanboys, for example, will always end up distorting.

I will say that watching some videos of combat and switching abilities did give me a console feel.

But, with they way CDP is screaming from the roof tops that this is a pc exclusive made for high end pc's if it is consolized at all this would go down as one of the biggest dev lies of all time.

At this time i'm taking them at their word and awaiting my pre-order.

This will happen without question no matter what they do. Short of The Witcher 2 playing exactly like Baldur's Gate there will always be people who say it was dumbed down or consolized. The simple fact it is direct action combat now will mean thousands of people screaming it is a console game.

A ton of people confuse "console game" with "action game." They assume every RPG player on the PC wants and expects the same turn-based and stat-driven combat in every game.

Considering the minimum requirements, it obviously is aimed at higher end PCs.

Also, CDP never claimed it was going to be a PC exlusive, just that it was PC exclusive at launch.

Yes that's true but it's also just semantics. Here's a quote from their faq.

"The Witcher 2 is being developed for one platform, the PC. What this basically means, especially together with our proprietary REDengine, is that we take advantage of the most advanced performance hardware. Our game doesn’t compromise its performance, gameplay, the interface or anything else to accommodate other platforms."

That statement alone is pretty definitive to me. There are others if you want to search for them. They did say that they may bring it to console later but their was nothing planned as yet.

After a statement like that if it gets release with numerous console elements in it then I could only conclude that they flat out lied.

Having said that I fully expect a great pc experience and will believe what they say unless the final product proves otherwise.

As I said, it's a PC exclusive at launch. They've stated that since the beginning. There's nothing semantic about it.

As far as console elements are concerned, I've seen no indication from the media presented so far. I guess we'll know for sure on May 17th.

I feel their are some semantics to your first statement by definition but I won't argue it as I'm sure we'd never agree.

I agree. What I find more troubling is that cdp says they will not start the console version untill the pc one is released. Since they said they aren't big enough to do two projects at once I wonder how long that would push back a possible witcher 3.

Also are the just honing their skills with console development with the witcher 2. So they can release the witcher 3 on console first then port to pc.

I haven't even enjoyed the witcher 2 yet and i'm already worried about the third. Such is the life of the ever wary pc gamer.

You have an odd definition of semantics I guess.

I said "CDP never claimed it was going to be a PC exclusive", which is a fact. If you can find a quote from them stating otherwise, I'll promptly admit I was mistaken. They've always said it was going to developed for PC first, and then possibly ported to consoles later.

Who knows.. it might very well end up being PC exclusive, if they don't end up doing a console version like the first game.

The word exclusive is where the semantics came in to play for me. Some would not consider it an exclusive if a release on the console was imminent. Others would say it's an exclusive until the console version is released. I believe that is an example of semantics but I could be wrong either way no biggie.

I agree with you here pc exclusive was a poor choice of words on my part. As they have been up front about bringing it to a console from the beginning. But they are being very vocal about it being developed first for the pc with no compromises being made for any other platform as was shown in my quote. So if it is release with obvious compromises that would be pretty disingenuous on their part.

Any comment on the last part of my previous post? Do you think we are looking at a console first then pc port for the witcher 3?

I don't think CD Projekt is being disingenuous by simply telling people they're not 100% sure if there's going to be a console version. It sounds like they're being pretty honest to me. Most companies would simply say yes or no, and then come up with a bunch of excuses if they didn't end up following through on their word.

I think it's way too early to speculate about Witcher 3. If you want me to guess then I'd say it depends a lot on how sales go with The Witcher 2. I just hope it's a hit, and that even some of the asshole pirates will actually pay for copies.

Pff, Baldurs Gate is such dumbed down game. Real-Time combat is only used to cater to those action addicted Playstation kids. A true RPG player would never even touch that piece of garbage.

If the game appears on consoles it means that it is dumped down because consoletards only play dumped down games that for all the bitching is well deserved.

Fortunately i won a bet with my brother and he pays for it although i will have to rent his monitor to play without the "letterbox"

Whats the issue?

The game is meant to be played in 16:9. Just like you dont crop a movie you dont crop a computer game.

Ah, I love the smell of bitching and whining in the morning.
And that coupled with a nice bias it's even better.

True RPG players, interesting concept, the worst is you believe in what you wrote, or is that just flat Trolling?

Really? As I understand their communication they've been working on the console port(s) for a long time. The ports are only a couple of months behind. This sounds to me as though it's pretty damn certain that console version(s) will come out.
The times for such big games on a single platform are over. Conversion(s) will come.

Yes, pretty early. My guess would be they'll follow the market leaders Bio and Beth. Both quickly shipped at least one more full price title with the same tech for DA, ME and FO. If both do it, there must be something clever behind it. So I'd expect some DLC and another game within 2 years of the PC release.
