The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Upcoming PC RPG The Witcher 2 is aiming to re-define non-linearity in gaming. In other words, the game's choices will result in actual consequences in game, resulting in entirely different stories for different kinds of characters. Here's how Jem Alexander describes it in his preview of the title:

"On screen is displayed a tangle of lines and nodes, stretching on horizontally seemingly forever. This is a visual representation of the game's story, showing every choice and consequence the player can make, and it is massive. It's pulled straight from the game's engine and demonstrates perfectly how they've redefined non-linearity for The Witcher 2."

Check out the rest of Jem's The Witcher 2 Preview.

    I'm a bit confused, I watched a video on here the other day that showed the exact same gameplay/mechanics as W2 but it was called "The Hunted:(something)", thought maybe they renamed this one but I guess not.

    Anyone else see it? Can't seem to find that video again though.. was it just a mislabeling error on the site or does this have a clone?
