This is something I’ve been eagerly waiting for.
CD Projekt RED, the Polish developer of the original title for PC, let a few things slip in the past months. Starting from an open position in their development team for a skilled PS3 developer to interviews in which, whilst not owning up, they didn’t deny anything either.
The job advertisement has now disappeared from The Witcher website, which leads me to assume that the position was filled. Good news.
I never actually played the game because of my power-impaired computer but whenever I saw it running it just looked fantastic. Let’s hope a PS3 version comes out soon so that I can finally waste more hours of my life in the sadly pointless pursuit of happiness through a DualShock 3.
There’s more “evidence” to support the theory all over the internet. I found particularly interesting this news piece on Deeko:
We all had a feeling this was going to happen sooner or later, but it seems that by accident CD Projekt has let the cat out of the bag. Tomasz Jonarski, a CD Projekt employee, mentioned that he’s working on technology for porting The Witcher to next generation consoles: Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at GoldenLine, a social networking website. The post was quickly deleted…whoops.
One final note. Being The Witcher a Windows PC game I’m terrified CD Projekt RED might take a shortcut and decide to port the game to XBOX 360 only. If that happens I’ll just go berserk and haunt Bruno’s place like the ghost of jealousy.
It’s tough to be a PS3 owner in this XBOX dominated world. I’m developing this irrational hatred for all XBOX and their owners.
