    Awesome, awesome trailer! The Witcher 2 deserves a big-ass marketing campaign for its console launch and we're off to a great start. Most impressive trailer of 2012 thus far. Love it! Enjoy.

    Guess it's time to finally register at their site and get all the free DLC for it, and do another playthrough... for all you guys going to get the 360 version - I envy you for your upcoming original experience!

    That's not a trailer. That's the opening cinematic, it says so in the title. That's the extra opening scene they told us it would have back in September when they announced the 360 version.

    E: For those of you too lazy to read.

    For example, this version will come with a 4 minute CG introduction at the beginning of the game, directed by none other than Tomasz Baginski.

    Makes sense since this shows a scene that is only mentioned in the game. uh, to many S's in that sentence.

    It's a common practice to use in-game CGI assets as trailers. This is the console release date announcement trailer. It's a trailer alright. Because it's a trailer. Like it's being used for promotional purposes right now. As if it was a trailer. I bet that's because it's a trailer.

    Because it can be both an opening cinematic and a trailer. That's a thing. And it's happening to you right now.

    It's pretty fucking awesome. Whether it's a trailer or a CGI intro shouldn't matter.

    The set of Witcher 2 trailers when it came out on PC were fucking awesome too. And the CG intro to the first game.

    Okay, that was pretty awesome.

    Hmm. I should really do a second playthrough of the Witcher 2. Kinda want to go to Vergen and hang out with those kickass dwarves.

    Fantastic CGI trailer, and yes, it got me pretty psyched for the 360 release this April. I imagine Letho is going to be a giant pain at some point :p.

    Time to go finish The Witcher on my pc.

    You could put this trailer here below the first one or just replace it, it's the same intro in 1080p (for the PC version?) and it looks absolutely insane... especially when everything starts to fall apart. 
     
    I don't know if the intro will be in 1080p on consoles, but I really hope so. It's crazy how much better it looks when you compare it to the 720p video.
