 There's been rumors, but you'd think this late in developement they would of confirmed it by now.

It's been said from the very start that any console version would be done after the release of the PC version, hence why there's been no confirmation.

Looks like it will, likely to be announced at E3. They said they have a concept of proof that it will work and said "it will not look like crap on consoles". Also hinted at around 4 months after the PC version release as there is little point doing it any later.

The guys at CD Projekt are teases. It might be a port after release or it might be an entirely new title.

2012 is probably a good indicator for a console release, which works for me as I'll have Deus Ex, ME3 and Skyrim to play later in the year.

But nothing is concrete at the moment as they're focusing on the PC release first.

[Loup Blanc]

Nothing's been confirmed but there's about 80-90% probability it will be. They want to release it on X-360 and PS3 but I am sure they will not announce anything prior to the launch on PC. My opinion is that, in order not to hurt the PC sales, they will not confirm anything for a few more months. But I am quite confident a console version will be released by the end of the year or early next year.

From what I was reading they said it will be a different project for them, but it will be the same game, also mentioned they might add some things to it story wise, perhaps something they plan to add to the PC version later, DLC? who knows. It's true they tease a lot they have not officially said yes, even though there was a slip up during a conference .

They only hinted at it They won't be doing a sloppy port if there is a Witcher game on consoles. They want it to to be done right.

You can always rely on CD Projekt's PR to maintain the fairy tale of "the little guy that only cares about art".

I doubt any company cares about art "only", there are many things they care about and if art is a part of it thats a good thing. The day they do a DA2 type rush job though, yea the art will be pretty much gone.

If I'm readng this right, I must disagree good sir. There was no reason the first game should have been popular at all besides its quality. A distinctly slavic game set in a 14th century atmosphere, based on Polish novels virtually no one in the west had heard of. Then throw in the vularity, ******, canabalism, beheadings, hookers, and a storyline that was far from mainstream, and I dare say they made exactly the game they wanted to make. They weren't trying to appease or cater to anybody, and I can only hope they do the same with the sequel. 

As to others who are frustrated with them teasing gamers about a console version, apparently you don't know of the wishy-washy bullsh*t spooned out by Yoshinori Ono regarding the SSF4 pc release.

Ah yes Witcher 1. Opened myself to a new book series, show and other stuff.
Slim you can't expect every to be logical.

They also weren't trying to go broke. Which was my point.

Quality and money are no mutually exclusive, yes, but if you put out quality, you make money.

That doesn't explain Call of Duty.

Just because you don't like CoD doesn't cover the fact the games often have good production qualities.

Yes, and...?

Look, the fact is that they spent so much time on it because thy thought the time they put into the game would make the product more marketable. 

That's all I'm saying.

Could they have pumped out a buggy, rushed TW1? Yes. But the margin for something like that making them money, and a fanbase for an original property, is extremely low. 

I could make an Angry Birds clone with my game company. It would probably sell decently. But I don't because I know that making something original and, more importantly, what I and my team want to make is going to speak to consumers a lot more than a clone will. 

So yes. The fairy tale that indie companies only do it for the art is a fairy tale. Nobody wants to stay broke, and what's more, nobody wants to stay an indie company.

I've read letters - actual letters - from people asking my friends to go back to making games in their basements for free, because money has corrupted them or something. 

Everyone needs to eat.

Umm Witcher 1 was buggy as hell when it was released people still loved it. CDProjekt knew this and fixed it with The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. What made them evern more customers was because they gave it for free instead of selling it. Stuff like that really helps a studio gain some fans...or just ask Gabe Newell about why he believes dlc should be free.

Hmm. Ok. I partially misunderstood your post. I'm not sure Cd red was ever an indie company, but my defintiion of the word is fuzzy.

Has TW 1 been released to consoles yet?

Well, nobody owns them, and the publishing deals with Atari, etc., are publishing deals only. But any day now, I expect them to be bought by either EA or Activision.

Psst me and Rage are two completely different people.

The Witcher was coming to console until the developer they hired to do it started screwing around and the whole thing had to be canned. People can be elitist about it all they want but CDP want it on consoles.

Yup. CDProjekt said Rise of the White Wolf wasn't living up their standards of quality. Good for them instead of releasing a bad port. Infact Rise of the White Wolf was being developed on the Red Engine so it could have been the first game on that engine.

Oddly enough (not really, no), it's the same people that argued for DA2 to be PC-only.

CDProject has been a huge publisher in Eastern Europe for ages, and that was well before GoG got launched.
