The Witcher 2 - Hyped or No?

I set the voice acting to German, problem solved.

I'm not sure what to think about the second, I really liked the first but the second introduces console versions and these cutscene thingies where you have to press buttons that are shown on screen etc. I'm a bit afraid it may have lost some of the depth and become more action-oriented.

Quick-time events?

It's still PC exclusive. They were working on a console port of the original Witcher a few years ago but there was some snafu with the funding and it was scrapped.

It is? I remember reading that they were planning to release it on PC and consoles but maybe that info is outdated by now.

And yes, india, there was a video where Geralt was fighting some huge beast with quick-time events, it was very actiony but I didn't find that it looked like a lot of fun.

Actually AFAIK they had outsourced the development of the console version of Witcher (not to an Indian company, lest there be a misunderstanding), which in the end did not deliver. Witcher 2 however is being developed for the PC and the console both.
@Husar
No issue there...I dislike quicktime events as much as the next chap. When I'm watching a cutscene I want to watch..when I'm playing a a game I want to play. But as long as they aren't too numerous it's going to be all right.

The developers have simply said it's possible that it could make it to consoles some time in the future. Developers say that all the time when questioned in an interview. It's only confirmed platform is still PC.

I'm somewhat excited. I got the first game, and did end up just not finishing it.

So I likely won't get it when it's released, but I think it could be a very good game. No consolization, after all.
