Yea me too.
The witcher looks like a great game but my poor PC is way too weak to play it at a decent level.
Was really looking forward to getting it on a console.

A truly anti gaming opinion. I have played The Witcher since it launched and have the Uncensored Euro Enhanced version as well. Best RPG when it came out.

But I was still looking forward to see what they added for consoles. That said this is still a rumor and should have been marked as such time until official confirmation is received.

The site was just updated 3 days ago and CDProjekt is still hiring.

2.5 - Well..
I have to agree with Ghoul on this,

To not allow people to experience the wonderful story-telling extravaganza that is The Witcher is not only selfish thinking, but total ignorance. The Witcher did NOT do well in sales, and I want more Witcher! So I'm all for a PC to Console port ( Not the other way around mind you. ) to bring new audiences to this marvelous world of adult fantasy.

Good, i hope it's true, that means they started working on The Witcher 2 instead of wasting more time on The Witcher 1. If someone wants to play The Witcher 1, get it for PC.

But somehow i don't believe this news. I think the game is almost finished for consoles ... and we have to wait even more time for The Witcher 2 :(

I hope it's not true I was looking forward to playing the console version this winter.

Now I do have a good enough computer to play the game on PC, but since I already spend close to 8 hours a day on the computer (working). I really have no desire to finish work and get back on the computer for some gaming.

17 - Do yourself a favor...
just buy the PC version, and install the wonderful Polish mod that restores it to its uncensored glory. It's more violent, sexy, and has dirtier dialogue... and you can keep the English voice work if you like.

You can order the uncensored Euro version and it works better than the installed mod.

Is that the same game?

This articles title says "The Witcher:Rise of the White Wolf"
whereas the thing you posted says "The Witcher:Mysterious Secrets."

Those the same thing?? o.O

I truly hope this is just some sick joke...I was really looking forward to to the console release of The Witcher. Now I'm going to have to scrape together enough cash to assemble a PC simply so I can play the game?
