This is for all the RPG nuts who haven't played the pure awesomeness that is The Witcher. There is a (new) version of The Witcher Enhanced Edition that is coming to SA. It's called The Witcher Enhanced Edition Platinum Edition (quite a mouthful, :D) and as far as I know it hasn't been available in SA as of yet. I have no idea what makes this version different than the other Enhanced Edition (don't think there is more extra content), but being the total Witcher fanboy that I am, I will be getting this one on release day. Don't know when it is going to be released either, just know that it is definitely coming.

I found this: http://www.muizenshop.nl/p/atari-the-witcher-(enhanced-edition)-(platinum)-(dvd-rom)/70437/ From the looks of it is still the exact same Enhanced Edition just a platinum version thereof. Even though it looks like it will be exactly the same as the normal Enhanced Edition this is still awesome news for people who have never played the Witcher. I'm sure if you ever wanted to play it you know how rare the game is so here is your chance to pick up this amazing example of gaming excellence :p


EDIT: In retrospect my heading seems a bit misleading as technically it is not a new version of the game, just a Platinum Edition of the Enhanced Edition, but still it's new to SA at least :p

I ended up buying The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition off steam when they had some crazy special, preloading that game took me a lifetime :(
I found it rediculously hard to find a copy of The Witcher in stores, it seems nobody stocks it, let alone the Enhanced Edition. I wonder if we'll see some Witcher 2 at E3 this year?

It is impossible to find a copy of the Witcher in stores anywhere in the country, it is just as hard to import one. I was one of the lucky few that got a copy of the original release as well as the Enhanced Edition. That's why I posted this, for people who could not find the game and still want to play it.

It is not only one of the best RPG's ever, it is THE best RPG ever. :p I have some pretty high expectations for The Witcher 2, don't know how they will top the first game, but I know they will do it somehow.

Got a bud busy downloading it for me over Steam. Will finally get to try this sucka! Maybe I will pick this up if it arrives in stores here.
 
If you're into CE's then it is definitely worth it man, you get a lot of cool stuff with it: behind the scenes DVD, 2 soundtrack cd's, map of the world, game guide and a collection of the Witcher short stories by Andrzej Sapkowski. Those short stories are actually very good if you're into fantasy and it got me into Sapkowski's books, too bad only two of the Witcher books have been translated into English so far.

Don't know what this version is gonna cost yet, but I paid R300 for the Enhanced Edition and since this is a platinum edition it might be even cheaper than that. I'll be getting one and I'm gonna keap it sealed forever. :D
 
it's up for pre-ordering at zaps - R172 tax incl.

The Witcher represents the pinnacle of storytelling in role-playing games, shattering the line between good and evil with a world where moral ambiguity reigns. In a beautiful, rich game universe created by artists first, technology second, the player becomes his own hero in an epic, action-packed narrative uniquely defined by his actions. Returning to the roots of the role-playing genre with a fresh and modern approach, The Witcher emphasizes story and character development in a vibrant world, while incorporating tactically-deep real-time combat like no game before it.

Immersed in a vivid but harsh fantasy world, the player assumes the role of a white-haired witcher named Geralt, a renowned monster-slayer-for-hire and master swordsman with superhuman strength and reflexes. While trying to regain his lost memory, Geralt unwillingly becomes involved in a world-shaking power struggle. Created to provide entertainment for both fans of role-playing games and those seeking fast-paced action, The Witcher brings together epic storytelling and dynamic, visually stunning, and tactically deep action.

* Geralt of Rivia: a one-of-a-kind protagonist
* A charismatic and unique character, Geralt is a mutant swordmaster and professional monster slayer.
* Choose from over 250 special abilities correlated to attributes, combat skills and magical powers to build the character in a way best suited to tactical needs and style of play.
* Inspired by the writings of renowned Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.
* Featuring adult themes, less fairy-tale than typical fantasy, with mature social issues like racism, political intrigue and genocide.
* It is a harsh world where nothing is black or white, right or wrong, often forcing players to choose between the lesser of two evils to advance.
* Full of turns, twists and ambiguous moral decisions which have real impact on the storyline.
* All quests can be accomplished in several ways and the game has three different endings depending on the player’s actions and choices throughout the adventure.
* Engage in complex yet intuitive real-time combat based on real medieval sword-fighting techniques.
* Motion capture performed by medieval fighting experts at Frankfurt’s renowned Metric Minds studio, resulting in 600 spectacular and authentic in-game combat animations.
* Six combat styles, dozens of potions, complex alchemy system, modifiable weapons and powerful magic add tactical depth to the fluid real-time experience.

+10 000. Thanks dude. :D Holy crap it's even cheaper than I thought it would be. At that price I'll take 2! :p
 
LOL, you won't regret it man. I'm getting at least 2 copies of this, 1 to keep sealed forever and 1 so I can have both sides of the map on my wall :p I actually want to buy another copy (or 2) to give away since this is SO cheap, but that ain't happening at the end of this month because I have to buy Red Dead Redemption, Alpha Protocol and 2 copies of the Witcher already.
