@lord,

If you want the original, you can get it and play it on the same device you are likely using to browse this page ... unless of course you are doing that from your mobile or PS3.

I own The Witcher on PC. It's one of the best RPG's I've ever played. If they don't fack up the PS3 version and add trophies, I'll buy it.

I don't know if The Witcher will have real competition. Dragon Age may sale more but those of us that own the game already will tell you that with 70 hours of gameplay the first time through, 5 unique endings, an unbelievable combat system, fantastic storyline that ties into the books, and a character that is a badass yet needs to rebuild his abilities - only this time there is a logical reason, The Witcher is tough to beat.

PS3 and 360. The fact is the PS3 was the first console they decided to use.

What's the point in putting the Witcher 2 on consoles if we don't have the original? Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Witcher really story driven? This isn't a game like the Elder Scrolls where every game is a seperate story.

Edit:

Fallout 3 is not tied storywise to F1+F2 in anyway. F1 is on the west coast. F3 is on the east coast. The only relation between the two is basically super mutants, brotherhood, enclave, and nuclear wasteland. F3 is also a standalone game. The Witcher is story driven, thus requiring all the games for you to fully understand the story. Unless they make the Witcher 2 about a different Witcher there's really no point in bringing it over to consoles unless we get the first one.

I don't think Fallout 1 or 2 came to consoles, but fallout 3 worked quite well on the consoles.

Happened to other games as well

His argument stands on Fallout. While Fallout 3 is a persistant WORLD, it really isn't necessary to know anything else other than a Nuclear War happened and this is where you begin.

The Witcher story, however, is CHARACTER specific...it follows the story of Geralt de Rivia. Jumping into a Witcher 2 game would be like picking up halfway through Andrzej Sapkowski's first novel.

The unique thing about the game are the choices you have to make. You have no idea when you are making a pivotal decision. At the time it may seem like the right thing to do but later there will be consequences.

Save someone that deserves saving and later they will be responsible for the death of a friend. Fail to save them and there will be consequences just as dire. There is no right path or way that does not have some sort of repercussion.

The title is pretty misleading. The video clearly states that what you're seeing is a target render.

That's what the original looked like. It just has lots of cinematic views.

All of the combat in the original was mocapped. This included the various fighting styles used by Geralt and hit opponents. You really need to order the European uncensored version. Full decapitation, blood, and nudity.
