Moreover, the devs are spending a lot of time improving textures to give the world and characters a more lived-in feel.Īlso, the devs have been challenged by console controllers. If the initial game trailer can be used as a litmus test, the in-engine motions being fleshed out should also look amazing. Also, the care being put into the new animation sets is impressive. This new graphics engine allows for fully dynamic lighting and more realistic and detailed environments. France's WideScreen Games has teamed up with CD Projekt by providing them with access to their DaVinci engine, a cross-platform development tool. CD Projekt is using a completely new graphical engine to ensure that the classy visuals of the original are well translated to consoles. The developers are taking the very best of what the PC version had to offer and are supposedly making it even better for current-gen consoles.įor starters, the graphics are getting a lot more polish. Unlike most PC ports, Rise of the White Wolf is getting completely revamped.
According to Atari, Geralt "exists on the fringes of a complex society troubled by the kind of problems more commonly found on the front pages of newspapers than in a fantasy universe." So, hopefully you're open to crazy Cthulu-like beasts rather than just traditional high fantasy baddies! Geralt himself is a brooding, necromantic, warlock-like character that is a lot more skillful than he is pretty. The art style encompasses a dark world that's full of detail and strange enemies. It sounds like questionable morality and getting your hands dirty will be part and parcel of The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf. This should make for a more genuine role playing experience and increase the title's shelf-life. In this world there is no right or wrong, only decisions and consequences." This will lead to a host of unlockable endings depending on how you play. "Geralt is a reluctant hero who nonetheless finds himself all too frequently in the heat of battles that are not his own. Accordingly, players will constantly be faced with difficult decisions throughout the game. As such, he experiences emotions that don't influence other Witchers. However, unlike the rest of his kind, Geralt still feels largely human. Mutated to be faster and more agile than regular humans, Geralt possesses arcane and regenerative powers unique to his heritage. Created by best-selling Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf will have players take on the role of Geralt, a white-haired, monster-slaying badass who was reared in the ways of the Witchers. Though players already familiar with the yarn spun by the original will find nothing new in terms of narrative, newbies and console-only players will finally be treated to the excellent tale. The acclaimed story of The Witcher will remain wholly intact for the console version.
