Gonna finally play Witcher 2 on 360. Is it as hard as I've heard? If I just want to experience the story am I going to get frustrated on normal?

Not hard at all. Crank the difficulty all the way up. Then again, after Dark Souls no game seems hard anymore.

Depends on your definition of hard. They nerfed the difficulty for the EE (aka 360 version) and I finished it before the EE patch and didn't have any trouble.

If anything the game is too easy.

My only reasoning for the black sharpening is that they are going for this sort of look:

But I don't think it's working

Considering the scale of the game, I'd be ok with Witcher 2 graphics. Still long ways to go though so I'm sure it will look pretty enough on release day.

Did you watch the gameplay reveal? It already looks far beyond what The Witcher 2 achieved, in motion.

My only issue with the Witcher 2, and this... is it looks so grainy! I dont know if its the look they are going for, but the game doesnt look clean at all. I dont mean clean as in "dirty", cause obviously they are going for a raw look, but I cant help but notice "noise" in every screenshot.

It was my only issue with Witcher 2, especially the grass in the game or foliage.

Looks like The Witcher 2

It does. Looks like a more detailed version of Witcher 2. But its still early days yet.

I'm sure its the gritty art style

Yes I did, it looked fluid enough, and had somewhat improved graphics. I think they mixed in some CGI in there too though?

 

[Phil4000]

Looks impressive, can't wait to see all that Physx goodness in action!

yes the big close up on geralt and when he's having his hood on his horse (with the troll head hanging) is CG. But you can tell all the open environement shown are real time and gameplay with geralt walking/horsing around

Probably my most anticipated next gen game. Looks incredible.

 

[boskee]

My biggest problem with the graphics seen in the gameplay trailer is the fur on that Nordling's jacket. It looks awful.

 

[butman]

Hope the open world stuff doesn't have any loading. That's the way!

 

[Cheska]

Are these all in game or are they "bullshots"? Because holy moly it looks insanely good!

[Tekku]

It has some great potential. I just hope they put more attention to the mechanics of the game and also the systems that surrounds poison and magic. There's a "gimmicky" feel to a lot of things in The Witcher, it's certainly in need of some improvements.

They are actual screenshots, but I'm not sure if they added sharpen filter in Photoshop or it's the in-game one.
