Wiedźmin 2 "breakthrough RPG like Fallout 3"
The Witcher 2 has to be "breakthrough RPG like Fallout 3"
(I have put it's original, polish title instead of english in news headline because of characters limit, sorry readers from abroad! )

Polish site polygamia.pl has posted new informations from CD-Project conference about The Witcher 2.

If you know polish language you may want to read much longer article. If you don't you are limited to english summary:
QuoteWe've been to CD Projekt's conference regarding its merger with Optimus. Here are some of the facts we have learned from the conference itself and from speaking to CD Projekt's founders, Michał Kiciński and Marcin Iwiński.

* According to CD Projekt, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is to be a "breakthrough RPG like Fallout 3" that should get over 90% score at Metacritic
* The Witcher 2 development team currently consists of ca. 80 people, both from CD Projekt Red and from Metropolis Software, whose FPS titled They is currently "on hold"

How to get a Million for (almost) nothing
Eric Brown - Electronic Arts executive vice president and CFO - has provided an information about profits made by downloadable content for Dragon Age: Origins
QuoteThe executive said that sales of Dragon Age downloadable content are already "well past $1 million" collectively. Brown also reiterated the company's intent to support the game with new add-ons for an entire year after launch.

Looks like new shiny armors and helmets sells better than many great games. And they plan to suck money from the community for entire year. I'm sure Bioware/EA fanboys are in heaven.

While I consider Dragon Age a good game, this whole DLC thing is just retarded for me. Instead of buying quest or armor for DA you'd better buy a good (and old but cheap) cRPG to your collection.

Risen reviews list on RPG Watch
Risen, a non-official successor to the old Gothic and Gothic 2, has been released 3 days ago (2nd October, though some countries are still before release date). Since then there were many reviews - most of them are positive (PC version) but some are not too positive(Xbox360 version). As you can see in this screenshot Pyranha Bytes really cares about console players. Gorath on RPG Watch has posted a nice list with links to reviews. Check it here and there, there and here.

Gamezone's Top 10 Western cRPGs
DocHop has wrote on the gamezone.com about top 10 western cRPGs. Apparently Fallout 3 or Oblivion are much better cRPGs than Planescape Torment or Bloodlines. Check it yourself and join the criticism... er... I mean conversation if you want to.

Risen and Dragon Age subforums
I created Risen and Dragon Age subforums. If they are popular in next month or two they'll stay - if they are not I will delete them.

Happy Birthday Community!
We are two years old now, so I wish you all your best wishes and good cRPGs in the next year

When I created this guild in 2007 I didn't expect it to be so popular. At the beginning there was just several people for half a year. Later, in 2008, people started to join the community but for a long time I didn't even though we'll have ever more than 50 members and today - as you can see - we have nearly 500! 2009 is a golden year for us, most members joined just recently - this year. So I welcome everyone new and thank everyone who joined earlier for staying with the community for such a long time.

Arcania delayed to 2010
QuoteJoWooD has pushed the release of ArcaniA - A Gothic Tale to 2010 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

This, claims the publisher, has afforded extra time and "substantial" extra budget, which will ensure the new Gothic game is "one of the best releases of 2010".

That could also mean, however, that ArcaniA was well below par and JoWooD was forced to inject funds to see the project through.

ArcaniA - A Gothic Tale may carry the Gothic name, but with a new developer and added console versions, the game may feel very different to fans of past instalments. JoWooD is doing everything to ensure that is not the case, of course.

- John Rhys-Davies (Gimli in "Lord of the Rings" as Don Esteban, a bandit's leader.
- Andy Serkis (Gollum in "Lord of the Rings" as inquisitor Mendoza
- Lena Headey (300, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles)

Oh... and one more thing. There is a bonus info for polish readers:
There will be no dubbing in Polish version of the game - voices are in English. Only the text is translated to Polish and that's only in PC version, XBOX360 version is in English.

I remind you that world's release date for Risen is 2nd October.
