Just saw this over at B3D
http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6318347/e3-2011-the-witcher-2-xbox-360-preview-impressions/

How does it look? The version we saw was a pre-alpha build, so it did not represent how the game will look at release. But our first reaction was, "Hey, this game looks really great on the Xbox 360." CD Projekt is aiming for the equivalent of the PC version's medium settings on the Xbox 360, and we noticed some animation hitches, screen tears, and a few frame rate dips, but that's par for the course at this stage. The art design still shone through, and Gop was proud of how the art design was always the team's first concern with the visuals. He stated that even Witcher 2 players enjoying the game on low settings are incredibly pleased with how the game looks. The team's goal is to make sure that The Witcher 2 runs smoothly at 30 frames per second minimum.

Looks pretty damned good!

 

[MrDanger88]

I still need to play the first one...

 

[Wario64]

Looks good to me. I'll play it.

 

[Jarmel]

In before Dennis4k comparing to Skyrim.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

It's good to see that Geralt's hair didn't need to be downgraded.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I still need to play the first one...

You don't really, unless you are super completionist.

 

[Discotheque]

Yep, doesn't look bad at all. PC low or PC medium? (notice the lack of detail on Foltest's armor)

All rpg fans need to get this.

 

[Phonomezer]

Better than I had expected.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

not bad

 

[Data West]

Yep, doesn't look bad at all. PC low or PC medium? (notice the lack of detail on Foltest's armor)

All rpg fans need to get this.

im playing on medium settings and this don't look near as good

 

[Rahxephon91]

Looks good. Hopefully it runs well.

 

[Hellsing321]

Look pretty good. 360 owners are in for a treat.

 

[Alexios]

So, 680p?

 

[K.Jack]

Looks pretty good, even for being equivalent to Low preset.

 

[TheOddOne]

Yep, doesn't look bad at all. PC low or PC medium? (notice the lack of detail on Foltest's armor)

All rpg fans need to get this.

Gamespot text says CD Projekt is aiming for medium PC setting.

 

[Discotheque]

im playing on medium settings and this don't look near as good

oh okay. I think if you set textures to low the armor looks like this then.

 

[zlatko]

Looks solid, but I want to see what the forest of Flotsam looks like. How much foliage can it show off and how many FPS can it maintain?

 

[Van Buren]

Looks like a mix of medium and low settings ? 360 WRPG fans need to give this game a try.

 

[3N16MA]

Looks good. So many games this November.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

This game was my drive to spend my savings on a gaming laptop and enter the world of PC gaming. This 360 announcement has allowed me to postpone that and provided the comfort of knowing i will be able to pay my rent for at least 6 more months!

 

[a Master Ninja]

Looks a lot better than the Dragon Age games on consoles to me.

 

[Relix]

Damn not bad, especially on 2005 hardware.

 

[Daigoro]

whoa didnt know this was coming out for consoles.

 

[SoulPlaya]

im playing on medium settings and this don't look near as good

This is a pre-alpha build. They say in the article that they're aiming for Medium settings at 30 fps.

 

[woober]

It's a great game, and is looking pretty nice for 360 owners. The more Witcher we get, the better. I'm sure this is coming to the PS3 sometime as well, considering the hidden note they had in the PC trailer.

 

[Link0080]

.

 

[DatBreh]

Looks great to me.

 

[markot]

Looks nice. Hope they port it to PS3 and Wiiu too, everyone should play this game >.<

 

[Arozay]

Those thumbnails look good

 

[Fjordson]

Nice. So glad it's coming to 360. If I don't have a new rig built by November then I'll be there day one on 360.

 

[Kaako]

Looking good for 360.
Bring it to PS3 next. Everyone should play it.

 

[Oni Link 666]

I clicked the link. Doesn't look like it's censored.

 

[Shurs]

Good enough.

 

[Typographenia]

Still looks exceptional. I don't know how they managed to make the game look that good on every graphical setting, haha.

 

[Red]

Looks great! Hopefully it's a hit.

Too bad that hideous bloom can't be disabled.

 

[timetokill]

Glad they're focusing on one platform for this, and the 360 is the obvious choice. Get this if your PC can't run it! Stellar game.

 

[Oreoleo]

I came for the lulz, and am leaving fairly impressed actually. But this needs to be addressed:

So, 680p?

Are the shots down-sampled or is that the native res the game will be running at? If the latter, it's not gonna look quite so good on a TV.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Looks better than it did on my PC(low settings, medium textures, AA, 720p), but I don't have an xbox so it's ok.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

I clicked the link. Doesn't look like it's censored.

It ain't the Witcher without the baroness' lovely knockers.

 

[Stoffinator]

Looks good to me. Wish it was coming to PS3 as well.

 

[DEO3]

No nude Triss?

 

[thetrin]

Looks great for 360. You guys are in for a treat.

 

[antonz]

No nude Triss?

One of the screenshots have full boobage so it seems like it will make it through unscathed

 

[Gravijah]

I'm sure this is coming to the PS3 sometime as well, considering the hidden note they had in the PC trailer.

???

 

[Krev]

Looks pretty friggin' amazing for 360. Nice job CD Projekt.

 

[woober]

???

"PS3... it will also happen some day"

 

[MrDanger88]

You don't really, unless you are super completionist.

They arent connected in any way?

 

[NBtoaster]

What's wrong with the colors in the first shot? Looks like there's no SSAO, I don't think it looked that great in the PC version though..

The lighting still looks very good, but the screens look supersampled.

 

[Red]

Looks pretty friggin' amazing for 360. Nice job CD Projekt.

The only obvious concessions I'm seeing are res and texture size. Draw distance will probably be lowered, but outside of that it seems they've managed to keep a lot of the detail.

It's a great game, people: buy it.

im playing on medium settings and this don't look near as good
