The Witcher To Get Enhanced Version

Enhance | February 19, 2008 | News | PC 
The Witcher, which was released last October, is set to be re-released by CD Projekt in a new enhanced version. This new version will have all those objects that were requested in the old version but were found to be absent in it's first release. Some of the new features include a map editor, a game music soundtrack and and dvd that shows the making of the game.

This enhanced version of The Witcher is set to release the 6th of May in Europe and hopefully soon there after for the rest of the world.
"The Witcher Enhanced Edition will be a completely polished product, something rarely found on the PC market," said Maciej Szczesnik, project manager for the game. "Of course, it would have been best if the original edition could look that way,"

Loading times will be reduced by 80 per cent, stability improved across different PC configurations, and an "array" of smaller fixes made to the combat system.

The English version will be re-done to increase the amount of text in it, because it had significantly less than other languages, and the German offering will have many of its voices re-recorded.

    From what I've heard from other players, the game has enough text in it as is, adding more is probably a sure fire way to send them into a coma as they try to skip through the sequence just to perform the action or skill.

    i read somewhere else that its not simply increasing the amount of text but making the translation truer to the original polish script.

    the game is awesome though. ive had it for a few months and its one of the best RPGs ive played. hopefully the upgrades to load times and the text etc will be released in a patch to save me from buying it again. but as i love the game i might end up getting it anyway
