Here is a 5 minute video showing alpha gameplay footage of The Witcher 2 with voiceover from some guy at CD Projekt.

I was just talking about this to Dave in his thread yesterday. Looks good.

thats a pc game worth waiting for

Y'know, much as I liked the first one, I never actually finished it. Got bored of it shortly after you reached the Lake. It just seemed too sudden a transition from the city without any real reasoning behind it, and suddenly I was back to 'kill 10 drowner' quests.

Aaaawwww yeaaaah!

Mass Effect 2 and The Witcher 2, sequels to my 2 fav games of 2008

I loved the first one. Did hurt my eyes though when i realised my sessions were hitting all nighters lol.

Is this PC only....?

Sleepery · 18 Sep 2009 at 11:02

Yep, they started doing a console conversion of the first one, but put it on hold.

Looks amazing, loved the first game, can't wait for the second now they actually have budget

Wow, I cannot wait for this.

OP, you may want to put a swearies warning on the link as I could swear they mention "Quicktime Events" during the combat section, dirty, dirty things.

Well to execute combos in the first game it was pretty much a quicktime event.

Even with the QTE's this is looking like an epic game. I'm guessing they have been included to stop people just walking away from cutscenes, or not paying attention. Immersion is the key

I too never finished the first one. I had a motherboard failure and just never got round to installing it again. I should do something about that....

PK!

Played AND finished the first one

I really enjoyed it too - I really enjoyed the whole Gerralt character. Really looking forward to a sequel, especially if it follows on from the closing video of the original...oh but half of you probably not seen that

Kainz · 18 Sep 2009 at 13:12

Yet to play the extended levels of the first one, which is superb. I was looking forward to the 360 version but apparently that is on hold now. I just hope Witcher 2 isn't as buggy as the first one.

One of the better ending fmvs of recent years

Jon33 · 18 Sep 2009 at 14:20

What happened at the end? I can't remember

QPRHOOPS81 · 18 Sep 2009 at 14:46

I completed it with one ending then just you tubed the others. One of the best games i've ever played though absolutely loved every min of it.

Neolink · 18 Sep 2009 at 14:52

Hell yeah

Shame his voice actor is different though but I have a feeling a lot of those voice samples were place-holders.

Ozzie Dave · 18 Sep 2009 at 15:20

I'm pretty sure the VO was placeholders, Geralt's voice sounded like it was done by the dev who was presenting it.

Looking good anyway, loved The Witcher so will be keeping a close eye on this.
