The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt ! [XO, PS4, NX, PS5, XBSX|S, PC]

[PePePL]

To be honest I find graphics in the witcher 3 somehow off putting. It is kinda grainy and in some scenes contrast is way too high.

 

[DieH@rd]

I'm more bothered that some assets look very low poly and meh. But it's large open world game, and large portions of the visuals look great. So, not all is lost. Cant wait to play it.

That bad dude looks like something from the Berserk manga.

Human characters are the biggest sore spots, they are relatively low poly compared to other titles but the biggest problem I see is the skin shaders. People's skin just look so plastic albeit a good improvement over TW2, but yeah it's really not fair to compare it to non open world game characters.

 

[(((interference)))]

Yeah, I dislike the over saturation - they should give it a moodier, desaturated look that would work better with the tone of the game and it's world. I mean it's more GoT than Fable.

 

[Jedi2016]

What "over-saturation" are you guys referring to? I've been through that trailer, and there's no a single shot I would define as over-saturated.

Are we sure that this isn't just the modern tendency for any "serious" game to have a color scheme composed entirely of grey and brown? CDPR isn't afraid to create a serious world that actually has some color in it.

 

[AlNom]

Intense colours & lighting, I suppose. TBH, the style doesn't seem too different from the second game. *shrug*

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Dragon Age 3's environments are nice and colorful, but not over saturated. I prefer that look; but Witcher has the upper hand with characters.

OMG yes 1080p o PS4 version confirmed! I love you CDProjekt, you guys actually understand my raw beating heart. Thank you thank you.

As expected, on PlayStation 4 Witcher 3 outputs at 1080p resolution.

"It's just a slightly more powerful machine," Mamais said. "That's pretty known. But I think in the longer run everything is going to be on both platforms running at 1080p. It's just taking developers longer to do it than they expected because the architecture is a little more challenging on the Xbox One.

"It's actually easier to develop for Xbox One for us because we're PC developers. So everything we do on PC is for DirectX 11. And Xbox is also based on DX. So for the rendering side it's a more natural progression for us to go to Xbox.

"But we anticipate being able to do 1080p on PS4 a little bit easier than on the Xbox."

Nice to hear xbone is running at 900p/30 and does have a optimistic chance of hitting 1080p too. Things bode very well for either party.
And in case you're wondering, consoles will be at PC High settings woot!

By comparison, the graphics of the console versions are equivalent to high settings on PC.

While PC ultra would

adds better tessellation, more physics, more post-processing and more realistic fur, Mamais said.

Things will only go better till release, now consider this a day ZERO buy.

Great day One for me too on PS4..

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Yes, Yes, Yes, no more blurry games please ! Thank You CDPR !!!

"A 900p resolution is CD Projekt's "minimum", Mamais said. "We will hit 900p no problem. We'd like to get it up to 1080p on Xbox One. That's our goal. Whether we can do it or not I don't know. We've got to squeeze everything we can out of the hardware.

Microsoft and Sony say 900p is the sweet spot, and there's not a lot of difference visually between 900p and 1080p, but it's a hot topic now. So that's what my goal is."

This was also in the article and very interesting

 

[RenegadeRocks]

^Thats a freakin lie ! 900p is 900p and its blurry however u look at it ! go for 1080p or bust ! Even WD has this non-c;ear ook to it. WHat good are all the gfx if they are not crystal clear. Have had too many blurry games on the ps3 now, had too much left to imagination. Don't want that no more !

 

[djskribbles]

I don't remember Sony ever saying that. They always push 1080p. Only 3.5 games on PS4 are 900p.

Mots of the 1st and 2nd party game are 1080p. Only Ready at dawn and probably next Quantic Dreams game are not 1080p but they have black bar and no upscale for 1st and 2nd party game!

 

[ultragpu]

Those sub 1080p games on PS4 are somewhat understandable, BF4 being 900p/60fps and The Order has that 4xmsaa which is more demanding than 1080p itself. The odd one out is Watch Dogs, TW3 just makes ubi's effort that much more embarrassing seeing TW3 looks almost a gen better.

 

[DieH@rd]

I would never call PS4 version of WD a lastgen game. It is a very pretty and large game, with visuals and city simulation that is very advanced.

Ubi created that game to work on 6 platforms, 5 of them being present on launch. Of course they were not able to focus on nextgen only assets and visuals. But they did a great job.

 

[AlNom]

Were there any gameplay impressions at E3? I'm replaying W2 on PC (different choice this time at the end of Act 1), and I'm reminded of just how weird the UI can be (especially going through various item categories at shops, the UI makes you click on both your own inventory categories and the shop inventory categories instead of just instantly setting the shop to the same selected category). Controls also just feel weird even after the numerous updates (UI mouse speed was always too slow for me).

 

[rokkerkory]

Great to hear 1080p on PS4 and potential to be 1080p for X1.

What's interesting is they think both systems will be 1080p in the long run. If any dev can do it, they can.

 

[ultragpu]

I do wonder what kind of beefy pc is needed for Ultra settings or High settings, would be somewhat a good indicator for console performance this gen.
