Witcher trailer: Nothin' but CG

by Richard Mitchell { Dec 3rd 2008 at 2:45PM }

After announcing yesterday that The Witcher is headed to consoles with the new subtitle Rise of the White Wolf, the first official trailer has been released (embedded after the break). Don't get to excited though, as there is nary a frame of gameplay to be seen. What we do get to see is a very impressive CG movie of the Witcher himself performing some balletic moves with his sword and slaying a few monsters (are those Necrotaurs?). It's all very Crouching Tiger. We have to admit the video has us intrigued. Now we just need some gameplay.

Let me guess... he can change into a wolf?

No.

I can't imagine it'll look any different than the PC version. I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah, I would think we would just need to take a look at the PC videos and it would look pretty close to that.

I'm more interested in finding out what they mean by 'dynamic control scheme' and 'new combat system'. It is going to be a big improvement over the PC version or is it just mapping the PC controls to the controller?

Who knows if it'll be an improvement or not... they're using a new game engine and will apparently be sporting new character models as well... so between those two things, I would think looking at the PC version won't necessarily let us know what the console version is going to look like.
