New Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings Screenshots

Screens so fresh, you can smell them

Written by osubluejacket on 08 February 12 at 13:56

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was one of the best PC RPG's of 2011 and as it breaches the console barrier in 2012, CD Projekt Red continues to show off its assets. Today, the team gives us some very new, shiny, fresh-smelling screenshots for your ocular and (dare I say?) olfactory senses to enjoy.

I believe this is the best that Xbox360 can possibly do. Incredible :)

It's funny that when I owned a Gamecube I used to yearn for a decent RPG. The only decent ones I ever had were Baiten Kaitos, Skies of Arcadia and Tales of Symphonia.

Now though more and more seem to be coming out (discounting the annual sporting rehashes, RPGs seem to be the second biggest genre after FPS atm) and with such saturation I think I'm becoming a little more disinterested each time.

Still waiting for a console RPG with a story to rival BG2 or Planescape as well...

Can anybody tell how this plays respectively which games gameplay is comparable! I hope this differs from the boring kind of gameplay of Skyrim and at least goes a little bit towards Dark Souls.

It does look tasty and by all accounts is a brilliant game but the footage of combat that I've seen reminds me of Too Human and smacks of PC gaming. Luckily I have more than enough to keep me occupied until this drops in price after its release.

HolyMoses81 said:Can anybody tell how this plays respectively which games gameplay is comparable! I hope this differs from the boring kind of gameplay of Skyrim and at least goes a little bit towards Dark Souls.it's a bit like Skyrim but way more action. You have a big skill tree which you can compare to Skyrim too. Ability (Better health generation, parrying etc etc) Magic, Alchemy, Swordsmanship.

You can compare teh difficulty (insane) and gameplay a bit to Demon Souls (PS3 one never played Dark Souls).

A really good story it swallows you in right from the start. Everything you choose takes you to a different path but it's so complex that it is not like an evil side or a good side path their are numerous paths to take. To make it even more exciting for the story they have timers to answer the questions and you can't pause before that so the story makes turns how you want it too. Tons of side quests.

If they keep the controls the same as the pc one's then that would be awesome imo.

For me this is a day one CE buy!

Glad that this is coming to the 360. PC Gamers love it. Definitely something I'll pick up eventually.
