That looks really good for an Xbox game.

Guys, its quite late - you're working your ass off! ) and btw, it seems that this guy is very possitive about W2 on consoles - you did a great job!

 

[M4xw0lf.978]

Give it to meeeee! NOW!

The game looks stunning even on console, and all that extra content sounds fantastic.

You guys are the best. You've known that for years, and so have some of us here, but one day, everyone will know.

Well, can't say I'll become a gamespot fan after watching this preview but they seemed happy with what you've done, so that's a good thing. I mean, I knew all along that you would do well, I just wasn't sure whether it would be well received (one of the guys basically saying you've got more choice in Skyrim than in TW2 is a perfect example).

So just agreeing with Corylea, who seems to say a lot of sensible things. You're the best, you know it, we know it, now spread the knowledge : ).

oh just release it already

Seriously, CD Projekt just rocks too much, it only surprises me everyday (in the very good side) comparing the nowadays situation of companies and videogames.

Really, even if it is hard to hold on, just keep the focus on this great kind of support and "minor" (yeah right) additional free content. For now and always in actual and next games! I just see that in the following years, if you keep that way, a lot of more players will appreciate it and the actual always-and-only-money-stuff feeling that we have a lot of gamers will probably disappear little by little.

And, of course, the XBOX 360 looks pretty good, awesome and heart-breaking (although not too much, I still need to stay alive )

EDIT: And well, you can feel free to do a very cool 15/20-hours long expansion along this year

Makes oneself wonder how the game looks on PC...

Damn it! I don't think a Xbox version will suffice.

 

[The_Immortal]

Hmm.. He seemed to like it.

Medium graphics quality eh? Thats what he said but that is not bad on a X360, still looks very good as far as I can tell from highrez screenshots. The new control scheme and UI when using a contoller would be very nice if it could be added to the PC though. Many TW2 fans seems to want that also.

I hope many consolers will buy this, if they don't they will miss out on an amazingly socially realistic dark, but also beautifully thrilling RPG. Best RPG since.. Star Wars: Kight of the Old Republic and the Witcher 1 EE. What I'm trying to say is play The Witcher 2 EE on PC or X360 and you will not be disappointed since it is one of the best RPG experiences of all time, like its predecessor.

I hope this game does very well on Xbox. I am not a PC player at all, hate it and heard very good things about this game. So i am thrilled i can play it. I usually let my brother in law play my games after me but what i have seen of this game and CDPR attitude towards their customers i have told him i will not lend him this game and he has to buy it himself to support these developers as they care about their games and are independent, not run by evil publishers like Bioware are nowadays. Bioware in STEEP decline.

 

[gregski]

Well, that's a little tricky for CDPR because in EVERY SINGLE PREVIEW graphics on Xbox are compared to those from PC version and some people are like "whaaat? medium specs? meh". Of course it's a misunderstanding, but some people might get a feeling that the game on Xbox looks "medium" not "like medium on PC which is ultra high on xbox".

 

[faintestidea06]

I for one am very very excited that this game is coming to the 360. When it was announced months ago that it was coming then delayed I was upset. But when I heard the release date for 360 I preordered mine right away. CDPR deserves all the credit in the world for being a 1st class company and doing it for the fans and for the love of gaming, not like others out to make a quick buck. Now only 19 days left and counting...

I am really looking forward to the Enhanced edition.
Even without an improved combat system, I am really exited.
Now, if they only improved the combat with sidestep/dodge/half-pirouette...
