Witcher 3 to be released on Xbox One!

[flopsie]

Something big?
A...movie...not just a CGI trailer?

Well, I don't know why they would make such a buzz for a trailer?

 

[Aditya]

there is definably a cgi trailer either ready or still in the works, will released in time. Probably at gamescon, they did release the first cgo trailer (not intro, first trailer for 360) that time, perhaps they will do the same here. Or during one of their conferences.

I have one question CDPR: if you guys do not believe in DRM why release your game on a console that completely supports it. It kind of makes it seem like you are just passive about it.

I personally will be buying the Witcher 3 on PS4, I just was wondering about this.

They released TW2 on Steam, which is a DRM-platform as well. So what? May be they will give a free GOG copy to everyone who bought TW3, does not matter what platform. That would be nice.

Well I suppose neglecting XBOne will void CDP a huge amount of revenue, which will be used to create better games. I do not agree with this completely but I understand!

They were able to patch the game on Steam to essentially remove the DRM restrictions. No such patch can be put out on the Xbox One since all patches have to go through Microsoft first.

CDPR are a business, already hiring almost 200 people that need to be paid salaries. If that's not an obvious reason, I would add that they give people choices:

1. Buy the game on Xbox One OR PS4
2. Buy the game on PC from Steam(DRM but has its benefits)
3. Buy the game on PC from retail
4. Buy the game on PC from GOG, DRM-free with all the goodies

Most of the big publishers do not do point no.4, that's one thing among many that sets CDPR apart in terms of DRM-free games support. Not mentioning that they own GOG.COM, that has done many good for DRM-free gaming in general.

Every self-respecting gamer should buy this on GOG and give CDP 100% of money paid, instead of 70% (steam) or 30% (consoles).
Even console gamers

I'm more than that, that's why I own 3 copies of each game. Now only waiting to buy CE od both since can't get them from here. If only CDP opened their own online store and ship to more places.

I will most likely pre-order it on GOG. But then there's this collector's box out there too. Also, since purchasers of the witcher 1 and 2 got a free back up on GOG. I feel like I'd have gotten more if I bought the game somewhere outside of GOG considering everyone got a free back up with probably the same goodies as I have on my GOG shelf. Maybe I should go for the collector's item and cross my fingers for a free GOG backup?
It's also a bit contradictory for them releasing it on the DRM-BOX though I understand why.

That's the part I'm wondering about and would love to hear a response from them on. Though I do understand from a business point of view it makes sense. Just from a morals and ethics point of view it doesn't.

Yeah, well, I have a GOG version, a Collector's edition PC version, US Xbox 360 boxed version, downloadable on-demand xbox 360 version, and I bought 6 xbox 360 copies as gifts for my buds. Call me an overachiever.

If TW3 turns out as it looks like now (super-duper-mind-blowing-euphoria-inducing-terrific), I will go nuts about it. All my friends can count on a gift copy from me.

Can I be your friend?

That's neat though that you got them such a great gift. I showed the trailer to my parents as well. I just love the game already just by watching the trailer. Now back to reading the witcher books in bed. />/>

Haha, was going to ask the same thing

 

[sedy_vlk]

Sorry for dumb questions, but does this news mean W3 won't work on Xbox 360? Or will it?

 

[vivaxardas2015]

No, there won't be xbox 360 version, and there won't be ps3 version.

 

[cmdr_silverbolt]

The new game is for next-gen consoles, and 360 is not part of those

 

[Demut]

Spoiler

just kidding I'm not buying that shit

Hah!

 

[username_2080126]

Can we just have one thing made crystal clear, though:
On MS's E3 presentation, it appeared to me that they said W3 would be an Xbox One exclusive title. Is this interpretation true or false?

(I.e. will other platforms see W3 or not?)
