The only maybe framerate drop was when he loots the bodies. Not sure though.

The Witcher 3 PS4 gameplay

Went right to the spot where it was most obvious and it didn't happen this time. Guess it was just Youtube being shitty. Good news!

Embracing and using STEAM Workshop for MOD distribution and installation would definitely help to increase awareness and popularity for the Witcher MODing community.

Nobody's crying, and there's no need to act like a douche. If you want to compare frame rates and LOD distance go make a thread about it. There's no need to derail this thread with fanboy bullshit. This thread is about the PS4 version only.
Maybe streaming the meshes for the loot objects? Wait, I think loot is just 2D. Oh, yeah it's probably youtube jank.

Glad I'm not the only one lol. Although I have noticed I don't wonder as much if I'm in steam big picture mode.
YEP. But I don't think this is going to happen, since it's nto a Steamworks games,a nd they'd end up splitting the mod community with the GOG copies being sold.

PC for sure man.
This is pretty first world problems..but I'm confident I can run it sufficiently on a 680 SLI / 3570K...I just hate having my XBO controller cord draped over my leg whilst playing. So PS4 for this one.
This thread is about whatever the people involved in the thread want to discuss, you ar enot the arbiter of thread discussions. It looks like a ton of both PC and PS4 gamers are comparing it to previous footage without hurling any fanboy accusations at each other or trashing each other (for the most part), and pretty much agreeing that it looks great.
That is until YOU got here, mr grown ass 39 YO.

game only needs 980 for ultra 1080/60 so PS4 at 1080/30 should be easily achieved
enjoy the 2D foliage to make this possible

Buy one platform and play this game buddy. If you don't have the money now sell one of your organs to play The Witcher 3. Do itLooks amazing! Too bad I don't have neither a PC or a PS4 to play this
Oh man, dat water. I feel like I can take a dip in it.
This looks really good, here's hoping the Xb1 wont fall too short in comparison.
Also, lol at her telling that she has the Triss Merigold playboy cover framed on her bedroom door. I think I'm a fan now.

Maybe you should go back and re read the thread?. I didn't quote or throw any accusations towards anybody. The one doing the quoting and talk back is none other than yourself. But I'll just leave it there. This thread is tainted enough as is.

Looks like there is nothing to be worried about so far. Looks great!
I'm buying the CE early and a PS4 a month later just to play this and Batman (and bloodborne)Looks amazing! Too bad I don't have neither a PC or a PS4 to play this

I expect in depth blades of grass analysis from this footage, don't disappoint GAF!
Well considering Youtube's compression seems to have gotten even heavier lately, I don't see the point.
I'm sure we'll be seeing proper comparisons once it's out.
Anyway, looks fine on PS4. I'd be fine playing it looking like that if I had to. The 30 FPS cap is a bit of a kicker though.

I sometimes feel the same way. I have a pretty powerful PC (well except the 2GB VRAM on my 770) but I usually play all the AAA games on a console. Why? I don't know. But somehow I tend to finish games on a console but get easily distracted on my PC with surfing the web etc. (I blame NeoGAF)^^ The PS4 is lovely though, 1 button on my controller and the TV+PS4 turn on, one button press and Bloodborne starts. Doesn't get easier for a lazy fuck like me
But my PC still gets good use with games like Might&Magic, Wasteland 2 and Europa Universalis^^ And don't forget that a powerful CPU+SSD is always good for everyday work.
Haha wow you are just like me. my PC gets used a lot for indies and I have W3 ready for my PC but yeah most AAA games i'll play on console as I find it really hard to enjoy them on a smaller monitor and sat at my desk as I end up doing other things. Plus I enjoy slobbing out on the sofa. I probably oculd get a longer HDMI cable and play my pc on the TV but it's just a bit of a faff and I have enough wires in my living room as it is.
Anyway OT but I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this haha. Plus sometimes console games just work and aren't needed a load of tweaking to get thatsolid 30fps or 60fps. I end up going down a scary rabbit hole on my PC if a game isn't performing properly and spend hours getting it working haha.
On-topic: Footage looks great imo

gameplay footage threads: serious business
What?
Only high quality screenies will reveal issues there I'm afraid, even high quality video is softened too much to tell, IMHO.

It looks like the splashy / ripple effects are turned way down on PS4, for obvious reasons I guess.
For example, zero ripple effect here:
However, you do still get some decent splishy splashy when you're on a horse.
Do the first two games have a lot of mod potential? What sort of stuff has been done in the past?
For some reason I totally hadn't considered if there would be a modding scene for this.
The first 2 definitely had some great mods. W1 especially. W1 had inventory/UI changes(for the way better), character model mods, music and graphics mods(loved the dual swords on the back) amongst many others(like combat rebalance) amongst come great fan quests. W2 had combat rebalance and EatChildren's grass mod jump off if I remember, but I know with the release of RedKit there were quite a few fan quests added as well. I'd say with CDPR being a PC focused company, if you have one that can run the game at similar settings as PS4 at 30 fps, it's probably best to get it there as the PC will have better/more support than it's console brothers. But it does look phenomenal on PS4 and I'd imagine Xbone is the same as well. It's a fantastic time to be a Witcher fan. I'm so glad that they finally achieved what they were going for with Witcher 1 in regards to world building and immersion.
I don't know which Gods to thank, but Witcher 2 came out on my B-Day and Witcher 3 is coming 2 days after my birthday this year. Thank you Polish god's of bounty.

Seems fine to me. I'm not really surprised considering they did a great job on the 360 version of TW2.
I swear youtube compression has become worse.

Whoever encoded those vids needs to up their game a bit. Some of the most compressed footage I've seen in a while from a 1080p feed.
And I hope you can turn health bars off.

This is the PS4 version thread...
I think he's poking fun at some "insider" who claimed some months ago that the game was completely broken and barely exists outside of some demo levels.
Obviously that was total bullshit.

The thread with all the PC footage being discussed didn't have any PS4 gamers talking about PS4 footage or lack thereof? No one discussed the PS4 version on the PC GTX 980 thread?
Give it a rest.

Pretty much all games are built with console hardware in mind. Would Witcher 3 look better had it been built to take advantage of high end hardware of today? Absolutely.
I was being sarcastic
See this for context:

Or not, since that would also mean significantly lowering their sales expectations, meaning it would be harder to justify the financial investment in high-end graphics/physics/etc.
Whether it's been specifically downgraded or simply is less ambitious on a technical level than a PC-only version could have been, the game (and the series, and CDP) benefits from being accessible to a much wider audience than just high-end PC owners.

Looks great!
Any word on when we'll see X1 footage, or do we have to wait until the 19th.
I think there's been XONE shown. I believe it was at E3 or some event.
Add more scalability. This sort of thing comes with more time spent on the PC version.
The review embargo will lift a week before release, so at worst we'll have to wait until then.Looks great!
Any word on when we'll see X1 footage, or do we have to wait until the 19th.
That's hardly even relevant anymore. Hope for something in the next few days before release.
So. TEMPTED. I've been saving so it's just a matter of time till I decide if I get a PS4 or a proper PC to play this and GTA V! I've been away of open world/sandbox games for years!
Looks like there is nothing to be worried about so far. Looks great!

Totally forgot about Batman! And that game is shaping to be insanely good as well.
Hoping to get a PS4 later this year. Enjoy!

That last thread was a general thread. And Console people had to wait for whatever reason for some official Console footage.
PC gamers coming in this thread, bragging about their graphics cards and pcs is more annoying to me than people asking for some official console footage.
Ture enough. Sometime sI wish Valve, Nvidia and Intel would invest a little money for some really high end PC exlcusive titles, like Sony and Microsft do.
::sigh::
Not as annoying as they guy who has nothing to contribute except to whine.
