A huge update to Witcher 2 is inbound from one of the games own designers. Combat has seen a complete rebalance from stats to brand new moves. It aims to tighten up a myriad of animations and add new ones. All for a game that’s over two years old. Respect. The prominent modder, Andrzej Kwiatkowski, is currently working for CD Projekt as a gameplay designer. This mod was created during his spare time, whilst his day job was working on the Witcher 3. The update is due out within the next two weeks. I’m rather glad I put off playing Witcher 2 until now. Here’s the patch notes, prepare yourself: GENERAL CHANGES Up to 80% increase in responsivness per Geralt's animations. Up to 50% increase in repsonsivness per NPCs animations. Continue reading ...

The Witcher 2 combat rebalance mod in the works by CD Projekt RED dev

After an absurd number of free patches and updates, you would think you’d finally be able to play The Witcher 2 (Enhanced Edition (Director’s Cut)) safe in the certainty that there couldn’t possibly be any more changes made to the game. But while the official support may have slowed, one mod project is set to significantly overhaul the game – and it does come with a connection to CD Projekt RED. The mod, Full Combat Rebalance 2 , is being developed by Andrzej Kwiatkowski, a Gameplay Designer on The Witcher 3. The aim of the mod is to increase Geralt’s overall responsiveness on combat – changing and adding animations to make combat smoother and snappier. But quickened reactions aren’t the only addition: the difficulty has been reworked and the game balance extensively tweaked. Full Combat Rebalance 2 is due to release later this week. And now you might want to grab a pot of tea. This changelist is going to take a while to work through: Core Changes Up to 80% increase in responsiveness per Geralt’s animations. Up to 50% increase in responsiveness per NPCs animations. Added strafing while being locked on an enemy and walking. Geralt can block while moving ( NEW ANIMATIONS ). Static Guard Stance is no longer required to parry enemy attacks. Geralt automatically parries enemy sword attacks and deflects incoming arrows. It doesn’t mean Geralt is invincible. It’s not a 100% chance to parry and the value is not constant. It changes depen ...

The Witcher 3 on PC Will get All DLC for Free

The game isn’t even close to hitting both virtual and physical store shelves, and we’re already talking about its DLC. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was one of our favorite games at this year’s E3 , and it’s currently set to release for the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 3 in 2014. When it does release, the PC gamers who buy it will enjoy all of its post-release content for free. The news comes from Rock, Paper, Shotgun in an interview with CD Projekt RED’s Marcin Iwinski. When asked about future content for the upcoming title, here’s what Iwinski said: “It’s too early to talk specifics, but definitely all the DLCs and updates will be free…Of course, we’ll see what the platform holders will allow – what we can do for free [on next-gen consoles]. I mean, there are different business models on consoles. From our standpoint, we’ll definitely do everything we can to deliver the same experience across all platforms.” On PC? DLC will be free for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt , no bones about it. On the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One? Iwinski suggests that, as much as CDP wants to deliver the same content for free, it’s up to the console makers. On a related and darkly hilarious note, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will likely be unbelievably famous in its home nation of Poland. They’re nuts for the whole Witcher lore, obviously. The Xbox One will not work in Poland upon release , yet Microsoft touts this as one of the console’s bigger games. Crazy. Read our ...

The Witcher 3′s DLC Is Free on PC

Last week’s E3 raised the curtain to show off a lot of new and upcoming video games, and one of the most highly anticipated titles revealed is CD Projekt’s The Witcher 3 . The conclusion of the critically acclaimed trilogy already has picked up a lot of interest and advance awards, touting a new open world that is more than thirty times larger than the game world of the previous installment in the series. All hasn’t been roses and sunshine, however, as The Witcher 3 , while seeing the series’ usual release on PC, will be a console exclusive for the Xbox One. Microsoft’s new console has caught a lot of flak for its restrictive DRM policies and its narrow launch target of only 21 countries, both factors that seem to make The Witcher 3 a strange fit given CD Projekt’s previous anti-DRM stance and their being based in Poland, one of the countries that will not have launch access to the Xbox One. Rock Paper Shotgun spoke with Marcin Iwinski, CD Projekt’s head, about The Witcher 3 and the seemingly contrary DRM positions. Iwinski’s response provides some good news for PC gamers, promising that the game will release without DRM as usual on computers. Further, all downloadable content released for the game post-launch (with the possible exceptions of larger expansion packs) will be free to PC users: “It’s too early to talk specifics, but definitely all the DLCs and updates will be free… Of course, we’ll see what the platform holders will ...

Witcher 3 aims to release free DLC on consoles

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt owes its legacy to a primarily PC focus, and CD Projekt Red plans to follow through with that tradition as much as possible on consoles. That means that, to whatever extent console manufacturers will let them, the studio plans to offer free downloadable content, but cautions that it doesn't know the console business models yet. "It's too early to talk specifics, but definitely all the DLCs and updates will be free," CDP head Marcin Iwinski told Rock Paper Shotgun . "Of course, we'll see what the platform holders will allow - what we can do for free [on next-gen consoles]. I mean, there are different business models on consoles. From our standpoint, we'll definitely do everything we can to deliver the same experience across all platforms." It's worth noting, though, that Iwinski is referring specifically to DLC like extra weapons and fixes. Content of a larger-scope would cost money as usual. "Should we decide to do some big expansions or something, we'll expect gamers to pay for it," he said. "But again, it's all value for money. I think $15-$20 for new gameplay is a pretty honest and fair deal." As for the studio's attitude towards DRM, he says they are still firmly "anti-DRM," but that doesn't mean they want to deny the chance to play for those who own one of the next-gen consoles. "There are people who'll be fine with [Xbox One's DRM]. They'll buy the console and just want to play. Why should we not gi ...

The Witcher 2 EE giving terrible performance

I really don't understand what's going on with The Witcher 2 right now. I decided to give it another play through based on having much better hardware than I had the last time I played some two years ago. Disappointingly though I'm somehow still getting the same low level of performance out of it that I did when I played it last on a 2GB Core 2 Duo setup. :3eyes: Specs now: Videocard: SAPPHIRE HD 7770 1GB OC Processor: Phenom II X4 B50 Quad 3.2 Mainboard: Asus M5A78L-M Memory: G.Skill 8GB DDR3 Soundcard: SB X-Fi Xtreme Music PSU: OCZ 620W Specs from two years ago when last played: Videocard: ATi HD 5770 1GB Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Mainboard: Gigabyte GA Series Memory: 2GB CORSAIR XMS2 DDR2 Soundcard: SB X-Fi Xtreme Music PSU: 620W The game auto sets low spec for my new machine and if I attempt to bump it up any higher I'm seeing low fps of 20fps in some places. How on earth can such a bump in hardware give little to no benefits with this game? I know it's an extremely demanding game and I wasn't expecting to play with say ubersampling enabled or even with it on high but having to play it on low spec yet again is breaking my soul lol. Any help appreciated my fellow Guru's. :) ...
