The Witcher, Coming To Consoles
So, I was going to talk about how Playstation is forcing games now to fully integrate the PS3’s trophy system into every game, and the fact that it’s a huge rip-off of Xbox’s achievements, which was the greatest idea ever. But with the news I’ve just discovered, I’m completely content to forget about that entirely, and focus on the fact that The Witcher is coming to Xbox 360 and PS3. Yes that’s right, the PC’s best RPG experience in the last few years is coming to a console near you in the near future, and that’s the coolest thing ever.
Featuring a fully dynamic and revamped combat system to give you full control of Geralt like never before. The console release will also see The Witcher given a new engine, meaning the graphics and dynamic lighting systems are being given a complete overhaul, so that this new version of The Witcher will look better than ever, and will make you want to play through the games 80+ hours of questing even more.
With a game that has proven itself to be one of the coolest in recent memory, in terms of a truly fantastic computer action RPG. The news that the game is being revamped and reinvented for the console market is some of the best I’ve heard in some time. Hopefully this will be a successful port, and not a port to forget.
All I know is I’m especially excited, given the success of DLC recently in the console gaming market, who knows how many extra quests we could see for The Witcher, should the game prove to be successful.
