A new RPG from CDPR?

So basically they are going to make another Witcher game? It's probably a hacker and slasher, kinda like Dark Alliance.

I'd say, they are going to revive the console version of TW1, that have been mothballed some time ago.

How do they work so fast?

I mean, they had to code a whole new Witcher 2 inventory, UI, savegame system, screen resolution just to get it ready for consoles.

Man, those guys are good.

No? Witcher 2s interface is already pretty consoly and works fine with a gamepad. Its actually a little easier than with M&KB

Sarcastic pearls before swine.

They said it will be Witcher related. They also said some time ago that the console version of TW2 would probably be shown at E3.
So it's either that, or resurrected Rise of the White Wolf on the new engine.

Were'n they working on an FPS some time ago?
Yeah, They. But the development was halted and everyone working on it put to work on TW2. And the last thing I heard before that happened was that they pretty much completely redesigned it.

Yes, someone posted this a while ago on the GOG forums.

In an interview CDPR's Tomasz Gop said that 'console gamers might be interested' and furthermore that it won't be TW3, as they 'haven't started work on The Witcher 3.' But 'it's possible in the future'.
But (and who wouldn't guess that first?) someone from CDPR later said that it won't be the console version of TW2, nor will it be a spin-off or expansion, but a brand-new project.

Maybe they resurrect Rise of the White Wolf or it's a console spin-off based in the Witcher world.

You're assuming that's why console players would buy Witcher 2. More like: over-the-shoulder-on-rails action game, boobs, cutscenes, surly hero. Witcher isn't as far divorced from Mass Effect as some of you portray and it's the similarities that will make it sell on console not the choice and consequence.

Exactly. I don't get the idea that the Witcher is somehow helping to curb the decline when, on the contrary, it's very much a game of its time, and perfect proof that the decline has already taken place: regardless of whether it's good or bad, a mainstream RPG is now an action game with a more involved narrative, some C&C and a light sprinkling of stats. Anything turn-based or isometric or stat-heavy is made either by indies or for handheld consoles.


This.

Neither CDP nor Obsidian are doing anything real to stop the decline. You guys might like TW2 and New Vegas better than DA2 and FO3, but it still the same kind of shit.

It will probably be that shooter game, which they were developing and put on hold (altough not cancelling), to focus on Witcher 2. That game's description is as bland as it gets. BANG BANG terrorists BANG BANG robots PIW POW Aliens.

It will prolly be just TW2 for consoles BUT I'd like CDPR to do totally different game (RPG, ofcourse) in a totally different setting on their engine. That'd be awesome.

Just for the visuals. Seeing the comment about "console, be happy" is a :decline:
The funny thing would be if they said "We have a great game for the consoles! A Turn-Based cRPG!" :lol:

Witcher 2 is garbage anyway. I have yet to even open it after the garbage ending. Yes, I said it - ENDING, not ENDINGS. Fuck them. When their CEO retired/left CDP:R, it was for good reason - his company started to turn to shit. Shit quality, prettier engine, big profit - all because of consolization.

Playing a non-Geralt character in the Witchers setting would be kind of cool. Provided it was not console exclusive.

Yes. We should be playing as non-Geralt in The Witcher games too, as per original idea. Geralt being the protagonist unnecessarily limits the games IMO.

Perhaps it will be both. That "Rise of the White Wolf" console port of W1 was mothballed apparently for financial reasons, and W2, as is shown by the utter shit consolified UI, was coded for consoles from the outset.

Maybe it'll even be something like them raising capital from initial sales of PC-only W2, just as sort of proof of their value, in order to launch a W1+W2 combo thing sometime in the near future. Clearly they want to run with the big boys and be a console platform player. Before they postponed the release, I can remember seeing a RotWW promo video with a Potato mouthing all the console developer buzzwords, like he had been to an XboX re-education camp or something.

Playing a non-Geralt character in the Witchers setting would be kind of cool.

This misses the point of TW altogether, tbh. :rpgcodex:

And, yeah, they also mothballed an alien invasion shooter as well. There were bits of video of it sprinkled in a 'We're CDPR And We're Awesome' teaser they released a year or two back, if I remember right.

Ah, I remember now: it's called They.

Any other Polish novels they might turn into an RPG?
