E3 2011: Witcher 2: First Xbox 360 screens are gorgeous

Characters, environments and fist-fighting shown on console

See all of CVG's E3 2011 coverage

After seeing these screens for the Xbox 360 version of CD Projekt's The Witcher 2, we suddenly wish we hadn't spent so much time faffing around with Dragon Age 2.

The game has received a positive critical reception and the role-playing fanatics milling around here swear it's one of the best RPG experiences of the year so far.

It's only natural then that Namco Bandai has elected to put out the visually stunning game on the Xbox 360 and from the looks of these screen it will be almost as pretty on Microsoft's console.

If these screens have piqued your interest you'll be glad to know CD Project has shown a trailer for the 360 game and promised a release at the end of this year.

    Not my cup if tea, and apparently not Edge's cup of tea either it seems, they gave it a 6, but they also gave infamous 6, and some kinect game an 8, so I wouldnt take them too seriously ( if I already didn't )

    Eurogamer gave this game a 9,which is pretty rare for them,8 is usually their number for most things they like

    promised a release at the end of this year.

    hopefully that means what it says and will release in December and not November like every other game

    Good, a reason to hold my 360 a bit longer.

    Witcher 2 scores roughly the same(1 point below) as LA Noire on metacritic (critics reviews). 8)

    For those who have it on PC like myself, they'd probably agree that that actually stands up with the PC quality too, (of course without UberSampling) but thats only because it uses this gen graphics cards to even use that, otherwise it'd screw your PC over.

    But yeah, with all the standard settings on max, it does look quite similar.

    Do i see a pair of boobies about to get branded? :shock:

    This AND Skyrim in the same year is a very good dilemma.

    It's a fantastic game on the PC, if a little short. Great story and some great scripting, although there are some week moments but they are rare.

    I would recommend this to those that only have a 360 as long as they get a good control system in, but judging from the PC controls and interface the console was already in mind.

    You're honestly thinking about getting rid of it? This year's going be AMAZING!! (Well, for 360 & PS3 alike really)

    If they can make the easy mode a bit easier, or at least fix the targeting issues, I might get this again for the 360, because my pc can't run it if it's set over 1024 x 768 :(

    Thanks for the titty warning CVG. I opened this in a packed office with many stuck up people floating about.

    Still they were rather nice for digital breasts.
