Actually that is a common SSAO problem (the white halo).
Look around this character's shoulders and the tank:

My bad if this has already been posted but I didn't find it at first sight.
Is the second one running on PC? If so then damn, that's...quite the difference.

Nope. PS4. Off of a youtube video no less.
Mayyyyyy be. It could very well be simple shadowing/self shadowing given they are large enough polygons. Difficult to tell :/
Ah I see it! Thank you! That answers thatActually that is a common SSAO problem (the white halo).

. So last question: Is it only HBAO+ that removes halos or can HBAO do it too?are those the same builds? because the backgrounds in the imgur link are different thats quite strange

It looks fucking amazing, you guys.

Youtube comparisons aren't the best, but you can see how much good AO affects foliage at this point: https://youtu.be/NKadTifTRlY?t=59
I assume by "details" it just means min vs max settings? I don't speak German--does the description say anything about how he turned these on/off?
Ouch. Virtually indistinguishable. As hyped as I once was for W3, I think that at this point CDPR's best move would be to cancel W3, salvage whatever assets and technology they can, and redouble all their efforts with Cyberpunk 2077.
Look at the grass in the comparison when he's in front of the wall. There's a big difference. Looks like it's due to the introduction of some kind of AO (SSAO? HBAO? HBAO+?).

The description also only talks about min and max details... so I guess they meant everything turned on.
The grass definitely looks a lot better on ultra, at least in the one scene that showed it. Draw distance gets a pretty good boost as well. I think we're going to need a few more scenes, perhaps. I also don't think they turned on sharpening, which is a shame. I quite like that effect.
Yes perfect. I'm on mobile, and the difference looks quite huge. I'm not sure what you guys are seeing on PC monitors (you guys can analyse the detail better than I can)? Does it match the grass form the screenshot I posted earlier when I asked if it was using HBAO+?
It's way too washed out due to that youtube compression :/
Jaw dropping.
It doesn't look quite as detailed, but that could be because of the particular grass texture being used there.

This has to piss everyone off the most. One makes you go, holy cow, THIS is next-gen, look at the dense world I'll be able to explore. The other makes you go, looks pretty, but like a lot of experiences I've already had.
Goddammit lol. Oh well! At least we tried
Holy cow. The top half of that screenshot looks like it was painted (I don't mean that in a good way). Then again I'm on mobile so maybe I shouldn't be talking.trees in the distance are awful, and they are not that far away too.
lets hope some ini setting can fix this.

Yeah, it looks like HBAO is enabled. Here it is, compared to a PC screen grab (was this from CDPR) and then a confirmed CDPR shot:
From these shots, I am tempted to say that CDPR does not have AO enabled in their screens. Now, the second screen is in shadow, which maybe makes the foliage shadows more pronounced, but there is a drastic difference between the foliage in screens 2 and 3.
It pisses me off because it's a stupid comparison.
On my phone min looks washed out, max looks better because of shadows on the textures, and on the final final scene max has much more trees while min had empy spots of landnwith shit texture.

Some bullet points:
There are some nice comparison shots, so I recommend checking out the site even if you can't read German.
Some bullet points:
- Performance is "very good", regardless if you're using Radeon-GPUs or Nvidia-GPUs.
- GTX 770 or R9 280X are sufficient for Ultra Settings @ FullHD
- 2 GiByte VRAM is enough for the (still very good and diverse) Max Textures.
- Config File lets you tweak the game extensively, like Distance Scaling (I know some of you were worried) and higher res shadows.
- Every thread is getting some love. So get your 6 cores out . Still, the game is playable with just 4 cores @ 2GHz.

Just did a 50 50 split with the angles brush strokes PS filter:
Unedited on the right, brush strokes applied on the left.
Definitely getting a painted vibe from that background. Really odd.

Just to have some PC gamers complain that their setup can't run it at 60fps MAXED OUT? We had this issue several times in the recent past, config files may be a bit more tedious but won't cause unjustified backlash from uninformed consumers.
Techland even changed the maximum in-game setting value for draw distance in Dying Light because of the maxed out bs attitude. And guess what? They were praised for "optimizing" the game after this 'patch' lol
I know... but, think of all the downsampling you'll be able to do. ;-)

How can you tell?
BTW guys, once they are finished with the tech-review of the release version, PCGH will post some shots of a tweaked version for High-End systems (they always call these setting PCGH-Presets ^^). Can't wait.
I agree. Recent example: Dying Light.

You're in the same room as him? Or are you guessing that's how he drew that conclusion?
Either way, it's not a particularly good way of comparing.
I did notice there being more grass in the meadow scene on PC. Besides that, they're pretty similar.
Yup. Definitely not seeing much difference in terms of object count or complexity. Remains to be seen how much the youtube compression factors into the details.
If you want some 5K screenshots: http://www.pcgameshardware.de/The-Witcher-3-PC-237266/News/Maximale-Grafik-1158918/

Very odd indeed. If this is a design feature then I'm worried. Save me distance scaling!Just did a 50 50 split with the angles brush strokes PS filter:

Looks pretty similar
Now I can't unsee misaligned mesh/textures on the rocks.
