PC only at this point. They have said that the engine is console friendly so console version(s) at some stage seems a possibility and there's always the chance of them completing the 'port' of the original too.

That's why I love these people

PC only would be financial suicide. Those Poles don't know what they're doing...

Because The Witcher 1 sold most of its units on consoles.

It was okay to release a PC only game in 2007 apparently. See Crysis, Hellgate.

 

But that is no more nowadays. I doubt they can sell a million on PC again. Have they even a proper publisher?

The market hasn't changed that much in three years. The STALKER games sold fine PC only, being released in '07, '08, and '10.

I still bet TW2 will be a financial flop. Just a feeling...

Oh well, if it's a feeling. Can't argue with those.

ahaha, Tale, you crack me up

It's so easy to get hooked on one though. My feeling is they'll do ok on it moneywise, they've got attention with the first one so that'll help.

You know what this calls for, right?

 

Ouga chaka!

4 million copies fine, apparently. I rather suspect the main problem with PC exclusive titles is convincing publishers that they will sell well enough without being multiplatform, hence the rather dodgy ports of essentially PC games like Risen.

 

Still (nota bene, Morgoth) TW2 has got Namco-Bandai publishing so it ain't a problem for them.

You dudes still believe that Witcher 2 will be PC exclusive?

It's just marketing speech to CDProjekt fanbase, it's a matter of time before they will announce the console version.

They are hinting it since the announcement

I dont know how well the first Witcher did as far as sales, but if the sales were low, I'm sure they'll probably at least try to put it on other consoles.

They weren't low, they met/exceeded targets. That's why they want to put it on consoles too to maximise returns on the franchise.

Are QTE's still in?

Are QTE's still in?

 

Yup, but to be fair, as far as I understand, they're just an option when fighting, instead of the typical QTE "if you don't click you die". The first "leaked" video wasn't a section in the game anyway.

Cool. Thanks. That's good to know.

I think it is pretty much expected that there will be console versions, as I intimated earlier. But it is very unlikely that they will come out at the same time as the PC version as there ain't really much lead in time left for PR and the like even if they are quietly developing it already.

A bit shy of 2 million copies sold. They did have a console version of the first game in development (well, more or less- there were differences) but it got put on indefinite suspension when the financial crisis started biting CDP's lines of credit.

So who's in for the replica Geralt head?

Too much money for a few trinkets

For $130, I'd expect a wax statue of Triss.

For that money, I'd like a sword.

A bust would do.
