Video Interview and a Preview

Jul 7, 2010

G4TV’s four-minute video interview with The Witcher 2 senior producer Tomasz Gop during last month’s E3 include topics like the new characters that they’re introducing in the sequel, the design changes they’ve made to the combat system, the three character advancement routes we can take with Geralt, and more. The “first impressions” article on mmomfg.com gives a brief first look at the game. The article doesn’t come with new insights though. But if you’re still hungry for every bit of information then this one is for you.

I was immediately impressed with the level of details and graphics already found in the demo shown behind closed doors. For such an early build, one can’t help but get excited about what hasn’t been shown yet. My biggest complaint about The Witcher was its camera system that felt extremely wonky at times and left the gamer unable to truly move their character where you wanted to go at times. There are no issues with this in The Witcher 2 in terms of camera angles, as it has taken on the 3rd person behind the character view, so complete control is at the gamer’s hands, either with a control pad or through mouse and keyboard. I could not be more thankful for this change!

I have uploaded the G4TV on YouTube for all the readers having problems watching the video somewhere else. Enjoy!
