The Witcher 2 looks like a console action RPG more than anything...

You said The Witcher = Consolized because of THE WHEEL, just stop it already.

haha, now you are saying you never psoted that, just leave it already.

Many people have roasted you because of your childish comments about The Witcher bign consolized because of the wheeel.

In fact, someone in the pc section showed me the thread, I literally spilled my coffee when I saw it. You said The Witcher2 was going to be consolized because of the Wheel it used, now stop trying to deny it like a child and move on to your next big JUMP TO CONCLUSSION thread.

That looks beautiful.TheGuardian03

BTW, I noitced a trend, back in 2008 or 2009, The Witcher was acclaimed unanimously on System Wars board, but now all I see is the hate. What happened?Salt_The_Fries

The devs have confirmed that the game supports both mouse and keyboard and gamepad.

They said they built TWO different interfaces to best handle the two types of input.

That's EXACTLY what we PC gamers want. More options (M&K or controller) and care taken to seperate the two, giving us a control scheme/camera/GUI that takes into account the strengths and weaknesses of BOTH.

I wish more devs did this.

Hell, most devs will actually tell you right off the bat that they're too lazy to do that! Bioware, for example.

Indeed, making the game for xbox 360 actually benefited the PC version as well, both with a more efficient engine and more control options

Ehh Witcher 2 is being streamlined...but it's not like the First one had this amazing uber deep combat to begin with.

Who cares? The combat in the Witcher was horrible in my opinion, I don't really care what the combat is like as long as the rest of the game is good.

The first Witcher had 5 different signs. A radial menu works perfectly fine for that. Besides, it was a hassle to change signs in the first game. You had to pause the game to get your mouse cursor on screen, then you had to manually select what sign you wanted. In this, it looks much faster, taking you out of combat for a shorter period of time. It reminds me of choosing your suit abliity in Crysis.

Wth are you saying dude. Witcher had a pretty simple combat, nothing a gamepad can't handle. It was no DA:O.

Q. Will we be able to hotkey signs and potions (for example igni assigned to "E") instead of using them from the radial menu ?

A. Players will be able to bind hotkeys.

Right from the developer. On the official forums, under Ask the Devs thread. :)

Its kind of ironic that when a PC exclusive clearly looks like its being "consolized" away from its predecessor that hermits defend it blindly.

Yet its almost guaranteed that if this was coming to consoles as well they'd be screaming "CONSOLIZATIONZ"

Funny how things work out like that.

GeneralShowzer

The difference?

Not sure I understand what the "mighty PC gameplay" is exactly. Do you hold Baldurs' Gate gameplay has a seal of excellence? even over the story and John Irenicus? Not saying it's bad, but if you say that gameplay can't be improved then I disagree with you. DarkStraberry

I think the TC is just trolling. Trying to make fun of the consolized word by picking a game, combat of which was everything but deep and complex in the first place.

My only problem with consoles are dumb games, linear levels full of half-walls, removal of gear etc. etc.

Basically: consoles ruin games by forcing simplification in every aspect. If TW2 doesn't do that, nbd.

On the other hand if this becomes a linear, no gear required, no thinking required DA2 mess: I'm done.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] How can a PC exclusive be consolised? It may be simplified, but consolised, no.GeneralShowzer

The difference?

Streamlined powers is simplified.

Either way...it was obvious this was bound to happen....what can anyone do about it?

My advice: Lay off the Witcher 2 hate threads and make more threads to promote Tell-Tale Adventure games. :)

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] Well Crysis 2 is consolised (a lot smaller FOV, slower game-play, cover system instead of lean prone, streamlined powers,low res textures, bloom, no graphics option, and well a hell of other stuff) But i wouldn't say it's simplified.110million

Streamlined powers is simplified.

" It doesn't feel toned down. It doesn't feel dumbed down. It simply feels smarter and more confident."

Oh yeah, that quote from a preview sure sounds like its consolized :roll:

I guess better = consolized now? Give me a break.

I know this hurts General :lol:

My you certainly know how to make a topic GeneralShowzer. :P

I'm not going to get involve. I'm not a fan of all this consolized talk. I'll just say that The Witcher 2 looks good.

"The combat has absolutely not been dumbed down," Gop said, "nor has the game been consolised."

striaght from the mouth of the dudes making it.

So now we have previews (from people who have played some of it) saying its not dumbed down and the people who worked on it saying its not dumbed down.

Who to belive... someone (who has not played any of it) who says its consolized because of "THE WHEEL" or websites/magaiznes that have seen/played some of the game live?

In it's curent state, the combat is pure console action RPG, along with the combat, the UI/Menus and pretty much everything else screams focus on consoles and controllers. Really a glance at that video is enough proof of everything. Believe what you want.

The Witcher 1's combat system wasn't exactly deep either.Marka1700

"It doesn't feel toned down. It doesn't feel dumbed down. It simply feels smarter and more confident"

Improved combat FTW I hope :P

In all honesty better combat is really the main thing that I wanted improved for The Witcher2. If they have fixed that and improved everything else a little like it soudns like, Ill be a happy camper.

Didn't they say they were switching the view and mechanics to something similar to Batman AA? How is this new?
