Today, in Warsaw, CD Projekt is holding a conference to sum up the year 2010 and to reveal some of the plans for the upcoming 2011. We'd like to invite you all to watch the live stream of the conference, mainly concerning The Witcher 2, which will start at 12:30 EDT (or 17:30 GMT if you're in the European time zone) at TheWitcher.com and The Witcher Facebook page. There will also be a special GOG.com part with a surprise for all fans of good games! See you there! ;)

Hmm, never been a fan of the 'order now, pay later' model but then since I also wasn't a fan of the witcher I suppose it won't affect me.

Great news on 2 coming here though, hopefully it'll steal more than a few sales from steam

andhar: Well, the game seems to have a lot of ingame cut scenes. Because of this I find it really important that the characters should be able to show some expressions in their faces instead of just moving the mouth when speaking. Besides of that the general graphics of the game look great - even in this early state.

GameRager: The problem is more than the developers......the technology for showing facial expressions in games is still evolving so there's only so much they can do, and also the best facial stuff and resolutions take alot of impact/toll on a gamer's hardware so they have to make it so many can play instead of just a few gamers with the top 1% of hardware.
you should look at the recent L.A. Noire trailer. They have developed a new technology for mapping an actual actors face to in-game models that captures all of the movement, etc. It's the actual actors face, no animators touch it up or have to "build" off it, the actor does the work and what you see in game is what the actor did, not an artist or engineer.

Would be sweet to see Witcher 3 use that.

Anyone know if the Retail Box version will be DRM Free?

I would imagine it is, given the retail version of the first game is as well. If not at launch eventually a patch will probably take the DRM out.

I would hope so - I will drop 40 - 60 on the Boxed Collector's Edition but not on the digital.

Basing on the statements given during the conference, and what is written on the Witcher forums, CD Projekt will try hard to have as little and as unintrusive DRM as possible, but it is not 100% their decision, so there's no guarantee.

Even if, Witcher 1 came out with DRM which were removed with patch 1.5, so there's a very nice precedent.

He might have been asking about you not being a fan of the 'order now, pay later' model.

Now that I read it again you're right.

I'm not a fan of that simply because I don't like forgettable debt and thats exactly what that is to me, if I were to commit to buy a game but don't actually get charged for it for a few months thats plenty of time to forget that I owe the money. I don't mind waiting for something if I pay for it in advance

Sounds ok, but it's not a commital of debt. They don't even hold you to it in this case. Heck, even Gamestop will let you cancel a preorder at any time and get your money already paid back. :\
