Video: Leaked Footage Of The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings may not exactly be the most anticipated sequel in the development pipeline, but this leaked footage - smuggled out of Russia's IGROMIR game expo - shows quite a bit of gameplay for a 45-degree angle pocket-shot.
A boss monster around the 4:00 mark is particularly cool-looking for the requisite tentacle boss, without which any game is apparently incomplete (I'm looking at you, Wii Music).
But developer CD Projekt RED seemed none too pleased that footage of the still-unannounced sequel escaped the conference. Said CDP CEO Adam Kiciński:
"Unfortunately, I have to confirm that the video which appeared a few days ago on the Internet is indeed a presentation of The Witcher 2. It's a video of a demonstration of the game during the so-called business days of the IGROMIR game expo in Russia.""It was a closed demonstration for business partners, representatives of the biggest trade chains and a handful of chosen journalists - one of many such demonstrations CD Projekt RED has been doing in various countries. Unfortunately, despite a declared ban on filming and photography at all such events, someone managed to shoot a video at IGROMIR. Just like last time, we will not comment on that. Simultaneously, we can assure you that all confirmed information will be revealed soon after the game is officially announced."
Snap! Embrace the free press, fella. Or, for the paranoid, pretend to reject the free press while silently reveling in the success of your feigned leak. Whichever fits.

Unfortunatly? Yeah, right.
Surely they know this kind of thing is great advertisement for their game.
I still have to get around to playing the first one. Last time I tried that was with my old computer on which the game was unplayable (save the intro).
I do still feel robbed on their Collector's Edition though. Of which the art book was just a collection of some bare-chested wenches. Yuck!
