Witcher 3 would be Absurd for Xbox 360 and PS3

Game developer says that it would be a much different game, a small game with terrible loading times.

Witcher 3's Polish developer, CD Projekt Red has ruled out bringing its upcoming open world role playing game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.

"It’s impossible. It would have to be a different game--a smaller game, not an open-world game, or with terrible loading times, with sacrifices in graphics," CEO Marcin Iwinski said.

That is why the game is coming exclusively to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC later this year. Also Iwinski denied the rumors that CD Projekt Red is working on a PS3 version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.

"We definitely would have loved to, but The Witcher 2 on PC was so big that making it work on Xbox 360 took us a year," he said. "The Xbox 360 was a more powerful and easier-to-code-on platform than PS3, so that would have taken us another year or year-and-a-half."

Lastly, Iwinski spoke about the difference in  quality between the Xbox One/PS4 version of The Witcher 3 and the PC iteration is "not huge" because the new consoles are "actually brand new PCs."

"So I think gamers on each platform will get an extremely good experience and they should be very satisfied with the quality," he said.
