nah risen 3 had some new areas, new gameplay mechanics, ship fights and alot more gameplay tweaks. Its not like fifa or madden, hell all the dialioge and the voice acting + localization etc. 

Btw, lets forget risen 3. Witcher 3 cost 30 mio to made. ALOT voiceacting, incredibly huge world, 3 systems (pc, xbox ps), alot localizations, good graphics. All that 30 mio. So how much will a port from 360 to wii u cost? More then 5mio ? :D I guess 1 mio is pretty accurate.


Witcher 3 is developed in Poland where labor costs are waaaaaay cheaper than most counrties. That game would probably cost double to develop elsewhere. 

Also what people don't understand is it doesn't matter if a port would be cheap. All studios have a finite number of resources, why waste a chunk of your developers time to work on a port that *maybe* will break even barely at best when you could allocate those developers to start working on Witcher IV for example? 

I'd rather invest in a project that's going to sell me another 5-6 million, rather than something that might scrape by at 200k at best. 

to get new fans to your franchise from people that doesnt cared already about your games. People that like mario and zelda dont have to hate ac, gta and co. Its like the easiest methode to get new group of buyers.
