All your questions will be answered on January 26 [UPDATE]

[Aditya]

What's the point of showing such a big spoiler at a pre-launch conference?
Also: "Geralt has other sword and armor", no shit! I mean seriously, this is not supposed to be a "feature"...

Looks like they finally finished that Act 3. Anyway, I have to leave now (baww), hopefully there will be a HD recording when I get back!

(also, good job on spoiling the ending?)

anything Im missing here?

 

[Marcin Momot]

Stream was full but we are airing a re-run in a few moments so feel free to tune-in again

 

[jjavier]

missed it, well thankfully if the xobx 320 one comes out in april then hopefully we PC guys should get the update around the same time (hopefully sooner!!) Was that mentioned when will we get the update? And will the TW2 EE Dark edition be available foe PC??

They say that PC update will be available together with xbox release (same date I mean).

I don't think black edition (hard copy) will be available for PC.

DAT LOC MUINNE AND PILED-UP AND IMPALED CORPSES

Cant wait. Hopefully a lot more details like this are added throughout the game.

CGI Intro looks great, just a little strange to see letho wielding daggers. Oh and why can't Geralt make bombs like that?

DAT LOC MUINNE AND PILED-UP AND IMPALED CORPSES

Cant wait. Hopefully a lot more details like this are added throughout the game.

4 more hours of new gameplay(I guess in the 3ed act most of it, but I'm not sure). Anyway can't wait for april 17.

Now me sad.

Alas, if the contents are new, expanded or better, I guess I'll have to get one for the Xbox 360. Good opportunity to dust it off, didn't use it for a year+.

I hope that means a larger Chap III.
Currently, chap III hasn't got enough people to produce such piles of bodies ...
... and I'm talking about every single soul in Loc Muine, not just mages.

Awesome news! I don't care much for the XBOX version, but it looked very smooth and detailed! I'm impressed! Sadly though, it seems the current PC owners will still have to wait for April 17 to get the updates, albeit for free

Suprised nobody mentioned the "secret" additions to be revealed later (there were 4 I believe). I'm hoping for a new PC inventory.

 

[PixelMoose]

I went to see if I could pre-order the Dark Edition but so far I can only get it in America or France. Will retailers in the UK be selling the Dark Edition? I hope so as I missed out on the collectors edition for the PC.

awesome! that means ill wait before going to bed!!

The new CGI intro was much better then I thought it would be. Very high quality.

Didnt the first 360 trailer have CGI Gerald in it, and armies marching explaining more about the war going on?

Sorry, I didn't put that well. I actually meant the physical contents of the Dark Edition.
Like, if the artbook is expanded (by more than the few pages they showed when first introducing Dark Mode) or the world map is bigger/different, that would be reason enough for me poor, little loony to strike again.

 

[Aditya]

I feel so pathetic missing the conference looking at u guys posting I just hope they put it up on youtube just like last time for version 2.0 making life easy for everyone else like me

Maybe there will be also ending CGI like in first Witcher. Nilgaardian army crossing Yaruga. Or some peacefull village suddenly attacked by first troops coming from Nilgaard or something like that. That would be awesome.

 

[Thoric]

What i like the most is how they've went through the game and replaced the cutscenes that were basically "characters standing around in a circle" with fully detailed, motion-captured ones.

Enhanced indeed! Can't wait.

as mentioned there will be about 33 minues of cinematic movies ingame (based on decisions too?) so must be taken from there
