It's expensive or costs something no matter what. And in lots of cases it hurts the game more than it helps. I turn off DoF since it bothers me most of the time.

Yeah I feel like a lot of games use it poorly and excessively.LiquidMetal14 said:

I really liked the combat in the first one.cj_iwakura said:
Ugh, yeah. Need to do this as well, even though I don't really want to. Just finished DA:O, now I have to rush through AC:Bro's Hood and then continue my saved game from August. And then there's Portal 2. Fuck.zero margin said:

Eh, not so sure
. The team really focused on all of the issues media and players had with the first one... that's basically what determined the feature set for W2. So I'd actually say there's a good chance you'd like it... at least if you like RPGs in general. We're banking on the fact that the sequel should have broader appeal, without dumbing down the gameplay.

Pretty encouraging preview/impressions (french). Quick google translate link, scroll down a ton .
First mention of performance for very high setting:
Much better than I expected! Final impressions:
Good news, this will be a long final stretch! The forums mention there will be statements about the DRM soon, and if anything is going to be censored they will announce that as well soon (otherwise assume it all made it through).

I'm really pleased this game has pad support.

Yea, you've brought a bunch of interesting stuff over from there, I just started skimming the forums recently for hopes of benchmark info.
Time is running out though! So even though they've been saying that for a while, I sorta believe them now cause the actual release is soon too. Someone there said it was up to Atari what DRM is used, and they're not involved in the selection for the DRM.
The big question for some people is whether the Steam version uses additional DRM, though I very much doubt it will and at worst nothing ridiculous. Someone more familiar with Atari's recent Steam releases could make a better guess though.

Thats what I wonder too. TW1 did take place in that one small circle but TW2 could only take place in just a few more small circles spread out across that large area.
If they implement on foot/horse/whatever travel to every area, Ill be really impressed.
Minsc said:
In case you didnt find it, I asked about a benchmark a week or two ago. They didnt have any info to give.

I always hated that description. it's not loli boy, it's shota boy. get it right, goddammit!
If anyone cares, Geralt's current face from the latest images won't be changed to match the new box art. What we see of him in game right now will be the final model.

You gotta look closer. That area isn't just the city but also all the other areas encompassing Witcher 1

You and I both
I know it may be blasphemous around some parts, but honestly KB/Mouse is my LEAST preferred control method nowadays. Just uncomfortable for me.
Recently bought a Razer Nostromo keypad though and want to see how it is...

CD Projeckt should include the multiple face they have made for Geralt.
I want to play as handsome Geralt

My stance is that it is idiotic to release a game on a platform that supports an insane number of inputs and not support at least a few of the most common ones so long as they make sense. Based on the gameplay here, there doesn't look like there will be any benefit to using MKB other than hotkeys (?). I like pad support because my hands tend to get tired of MKB or pad and I like the option to switch it up when I am gaming for an afternoon.AgentOtaku said:
Exuro said:
Really doesn't make sense to me. Feels like a nineties thing to do, really. I mean, he's going to look mostly the same, but it's goofy having two different versions. Either line them up to each other, or use what you got in game and pretty it up. It's like they think the in game face will scare off potential customers. Feature wise, I mean.

It's pretty much 100% guaranteed. Hopefully the proper button prompts and rumble will be included.Hawk269 said:
Indeed, why shouldn't it?Stallion Free said:
I will be playing this game with my mouse, as I did in The Witcher, but more options are never a bad thing.
Anyway, anyone who doesn't own The Witcher needs to buy it off D2D right about now, no excuses!

They already confirmed it in that 1 hr Q&A video about a month ago. In case anyone wants a source.

Like I said in my original post of the comparison map, Im sure the game will not take place in the whole open world of those four kingdoms (if it does, it will be one of the greatest games ever, and who knows, Skyrim works like that), but even if it uses only spots from each kingdom (that is what probably will happen) the game will still be MUCH bigger, and more importantly it will be MUCH MORE varied.
You see, the first one was only Vizimia and surroundings (and the majority of the surroundings are swamps). If you have read the novels or read the Witcher wiki you will know that each kingdom has its own ecosystem with different types of terrain and diferent races living in them. This means its still a good comparison.
I think im proud of this :lolExuro said:
New media looks ridiculously gorgeous and is making the wait for this game very, very tough. I've got the game pre-ordered from GOG but am seriously considering also ponying up for the retail CE just to get some of the physical goodies as well.
Why must you be so amazing, The Witcher 2??

Wow this is so fucking stupid. What's the point of changing the cover when people were complaining that he looks too much of a pretty boy INGAME! C'mon RED you're better than that!

They said it's already the same face that's in the current game, but the cover has more detail.loganclaws said:
EvolveTom said:Eh, not so sure
Sounds like you know better than I do.
Honestly, I was just saying that to try and force people to play the first game. I love it so it's frustrating to see people write it off halfway through the first chapter, but I guess I'll just have to accept that people don't always like what I like.
Anyways, everyone should still take advantage of the D2D deal if they don't have it yet. It's worth the price of a sandwich at least.

Well just look at any recent screenshots, Geralt still looks much younger and prettier than W1 or that newly revealed cover. It's like he went to Hollywood and got plastic surgery...
Lets compare.Jay Shadow said:
Not the best shot but the latest we've seen. Would be nice to get a more upclose shot like we've gotten before of the other versions, so this'll do for now.
Granpa Geralt!
He looks much younger in my opinion. I think one of the big differences is his hair is silver in game and not white like the cover. That along with the cover having a more "boney"/skinny looking face, not smooth and young like in-game, affects the differences. So I think there is a artistic difference in the two and it's not just adding more detail.
For kicks, here's bronze god geralt and TW1 geralt.
A little too much time spent on the beach.
Trusty old Geralt.
EDIT: MORE
Needs to be on a diet Geralt
This is pretty much same as the final, just a bad shot I think, looks like a toad. Current version is a bit skinnier looking. He appears to have more detail but that may just be because of the lighting.
Really bad looking Geralt
I don't even know what this is. From E3 I think but so was bronze god Geralt.
In the end, the final Geralt that we're looking at imo best represents Geralt.

God, finally a developer that does sex scene right, Bioware can suck it with their "fade to black". Plus, Triss is supposed to be beautiful, all sorceress' in the Witcher were considered beautiful (and terrifying).

I understand where those people are coming from. The game is uneven in its pacing at times and the combat can really kill any momentum generated by the main narrative. I had two 3 month breaks with the game (one after the prologue and one at the beginning of Act II) and it really wasn't until last month that I actually just sat down and forced myself to play the game. It's definitely hard to get into if you have a short attention span.

In the books they explain that female sorceress change a lot their physical attributes to look better, its also explained its not for them too look better, but for getting what they want from others because of their beauty. They are in reality ugly and resented with humanity.
Geralt says, that looking closely, se can see that Jennefer has a small humpback from her ugly self. Triss is Jeneffer's friend, so its very possible Triss had the same process.
