Distant terrain is more detailed (and supposedly open worldish) but yeah pretty much. To be expected as the Witcher 2 is pretty damn good looking already.

That's what I think, but I was shouted down as a crazy person by a friend. It looks really good either way.

Please, if anyone is kind enough to help me..
I am ready to start playing Witcher 2, without having played the first game.
Could i read some summary, plot points, lore, whatever of the first game, so as to feel more prepared for the second game?
Thanx and sorry for the off topic...
On topic, the game looks stunning!!!Now to see where will I play it!

The world is bigger than Skyrim and it looks this beautiful? This could be the ultimate RPG:
-Massive and rich open world
-Stunning visuals
-Realistic animation
-Excellent combat
-Brilliant story and characters
If the characters are as good as the Witcher 2 and the story and combat are improved, this will be my GOAT game.

Both games are really quite self-contained, though. It's not that there aren't overarching plot points shared between them, but they really don't limit your enjoyment of either. If anything, I'd say that TW3's emphasis on Nilfgaard means you're better off reading the books (which haven't even been fully translated).

Why doesn't Geralt's beard look as awesome durng gameplay as it does in the CGI cutscenes? Is there a shavng system? Will it be the subject of some kind of proprietary effects work like with Lara Croft's hair?

This looks amazing, never played witcher before but i remember one of the developers or creators were interviewed during e3 and apparently this will be easy to pick up for those who have not played the others, they are just still figuring out how to do it right now that is all
Looking forward to playing this

It doesn't look like they've switched over fully to their DX11 renderer. I don't think we'll see what the game will truly be capable of (like the amazing fur tech shown elsewhere) until then.

I've never played a Witcher game before but this does look impressive. I like these kind of games so I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Didn't they say it's 35 times bigger than Witcher 2?
Yes and 20% larger than Skyrim.

You should probably play the old ones. At least 2, the first one can be a little tough to get into.

Sounds like someone doesn't like super detailed textures. Let me guess, you're one of those PC games have sharp angles guys.

Amazing. The attention to detail is incredible.

Yeah these really are horrible images, what are you doing, CVG?
I'd skip the first one. Chapter two has the most boring quests i've played in any RPG, couldn't push through with it. Combat is a rather janky point-and-click affair as well. Been trying hard to finish it recently.
Updated with gamersyde pics, better now? I'm on my iPad so I can't see it that good.
Still over-sharpened, but much better quality.
Could be that they came already oversharpened from CDPR -- I love them but the default sharpening in Witcher 2 was terrible.
In more positive news, this game looks fantastic, and sounds amazing in all descriptions/interviews they've given so far. Could be the best open world RPG since Gothic 2.

The undergrowth looks better as well, or am I just remembering Witcher 2 wrong?
There better be barbers again, because that default hairstyle looks even worse than Witcher 1's.

I wonder if the console versions will look as good. Will they support the fur tech that was demonstrates on pc with nvidia tech? Someone should ask them.
They'll probably use "fake" fur like every other game, similar to Skyrim wolves for example. I doubt they'll really use no fur whatsoever for the console versions, and that's assuming they don't simply utilize a stripped-down version of tressfx or something.

It does look very similiar to The Witcher 2 - and that's a very good thing.

"Looks like The Witcher 2" is kind of a compliment given that game wasn't open-world.
Also, I assume you mean "Looks like The Witcher 2 on a high-end PC" rather than 360.

The Fur/Hair+Animation tech should be applied to gerald+NPCs as well.

And it's open-world. Pretty impressive.
Anyone that says it looks like The Witcher 2 should watch this clip where they show the difference between the old and new renderer:

So I does this mean pubic hair tech will be used on the prostitutes now (and Triss)?
