Witcher 2 System Requirements and New Screens Revealed

Looks real purdy, but prior to buying this game, I might wait and see what the requirements will be for the new Elderscrolls. That will likely dictate whether I upgrade my computer or not.

No, he was simply a bad voice actor. The developers didn't have enough money to pay for good voice actors for other languages besides Polish. Polish voice actors were top notch.

I'm still going to disagree. I thought he did a fine job, and believe me, compared to the real bad voice actors out there, this guy was genius.

Fine, it's your opinion. But you should really switch the language to Polish for a while, even if you don't understand the word of it. I think you can still have English subtitles if I remember correctly. You will hear what Geralt's voice (among others) should have sounded like if it had a decent English voice actor.


I hope they'll fix the inventory menu because it was seriously outdated in The Witcher.

Looks like the engine favor art direction over full throttle graphics. Which isn't a bad thing, as having well drawn textures, and artistically rendered models can make a game look much much better then a game that uses cutting edge graphics technology.

The engine also looks highly optimized. The screens plus the PC recommendations make the long wait well worth it.

Yeah, art design is really much more important than full on graphical details.

My favorite example is Freelancer, which for its time looked incredibly beautiful but had ridiculously low spec requirements.

Mirror's Edge had pretty low specs too considering how beautiful the game was.

More on topic: After watching that trailer posted above, I have to say I'm really hyped for this game. Everything we loved about the Witcher, but more of it. Nice.

Witcher II did not fall into the rut of every other game thinking "WE HAVE TO MAKE CONSOLE VERSION NAOW"

They do not have plans for it and I could not be happier about it. Focusing on good PC controls and gameplay.

I smell a rat, as it is a PC game only game that is only using DirectX 9. I think they actually have quite a big eye on consoles...
