Nice new screen

Nice new screen .. they even fixed those brick walls
Anyway, today in the forums:
Yeah, that new screenshot looks fantastic.
Anyway, I tried to tell people that it was a frost or icy effect that was making the textures look weird in that Wild Hunt screenshot, but people tried to insist it was evidence of a downgrade.
Odd I'm not seeing all these new shots on the main Witcher website.
I always assumed someone had hit him with some kind of ice spell during combat and it was a lingering effect or something, like in Dragon Age Origins.

I don't think their answer really assuages any of the poster's fears. The fur is still going to be that fur, "ice effect" or not.
I'm excited for this game, and I really do not care about the graphics, but the only thing that's been putting me off is CDPR's quick responses to everything in a way that doesn't necessarily feel genuine. I'd prefer more honesty than deflection.

I just pray and pray that this doesn't get pushed back again. This is the first game in my entire stupid life that I have hoped for not to do so.
I'm ready to be Geralt once again, man. You don't even know.

You don't know what I know, you don't know what my 10 playthroughs of TW1 and TW2 and I know. You don't even know.
I know what chromatic aberration is, and it's really obvious to me in some games, but I don't see it here. Where are you looking?
In the villain portrait there. Massive amount of it.

Check out the last page and look at the screenshot of the dead dude on the table. You can see CA on his skin.. around its edges :/
Lol I had a little trouble seeing it first because I thought the weird outlines on his helmet were part of his design or something. What's with the craze for this particular effect nowadays? Must be a reason why so many are using it.
You realize that's a marketing render, not a screenshot from the game, right?

It's from the game.
It may be in-game assets, but it's actually a marketing render. This one:
I haven't seen any evidence of chromatic aberration in the game itself.
Yeah, I see it there for sure, but not in the in-game model.

Like I said, go back a page and look at the skin on the dead dwarf thing on the table. You will be able to see some odd blue and red coloring...
Then again the guy is trying to compare a in-game model to a render, that's outright stupidity. If someone is really silly enough to compare the two and think there's been some kind of visual cutback because the in-game model doesn't look like a render, then you're never going to be happy.
A note on the fur though, whilst the in-game fur probably won't look as good as the render (For obvious reasons stated above) all the footage with Caranthir has been WITHOUT Hairworks. So his little shawl thing there will definitely look a little nicer once you chuck Hairworks on.
If there is some CA in W3, it's very subtle.. atleast for me, because in other games like Alien Isolation, Dying Light, The Lords of Fallen it's really obvious, but in W3? Not at all.. I really hate, fucking hate (!) that effect, but really I don't see it in W3 or it's very subtle..
Anyway, what the Witcher games have really great, are the armors (or clothes) in them
Some of them look fucking amazing
Edit: they are not official, but still worth the look

Yeah, I did that and zoomed in super close, but I'm sorry I don't see it there.
Yes, I agree that the poster asked a weird question. That said, why didn't CDPR point that out? Instead, they kind of furthered the belief that the game will match the render, not the screenshot.
This is what I mean. They need to be more honest and open in their answers. Leaving interpretations open only opens up the door for outlandish expectations.
I can't see it. If it's there, it's so slight that it's not worth mentioning. That, or I don't actually have an understanding of what Chromatic Aberration is.

So when do we get to see some PS4 gameplay?
From what I understand they have yet to show the PS4 version...

Me neither? These Ciri armours look great by the way, love number 4.
Haha. Me neither!

Look at whites. Always look at whites.
one side of a white highlight area has a blue line, the other side of a white area has a red outline. CA.

if they use CA as subtly as that, I don't have a problem with it. CA is a problem when it's all in your face.

Ok. I see it in this one. I was looking at that "Everywhere" shot. Are you able to spot it on that one too?

Yeah it is the same there too. Just look at the colors and how often you see blue and red tones with in them. Look at the thatch roof in the top right corner.
Thanks for that. I was just pointing it out.

I know man! I know!
It almost feels like the CDPR guy just sorta glanced over his post and didn't really take into account what the poster was making a comparison too. Probably just thought it was another guy complaining about that bugged frost effect and just quickly wanted to say, "Don't worry".
I dunno, I agree with you to an extent, but I'm not convinced the CDPR employee was purposefully trying to downplay the OP's point or making a comparison to the render. However CDPR in general HAVE been very weird with their responses when it comes to graphical issues and I really just wish they'd have made statements over the last year that didn't quite seem to "PR-ish" and were just brutally honest about stuff, but perhaps there's circumstances that make that impossible, I dunno.
Okay, I guess I see it on the topmost outline of Geralt's hair? Hmmm Shit is so subtle that I have no idea why they bothered. lol

The CA in those screenshots is not nearly as bad as it could be. I've seen far worse offenses. I think I'll be able to live with it if there's no way to disable it.

It is by far one of the more subtle versions of it we have ever seen (if not THE most subtle).
But really, it probably will be toggleable in the ini if not in the options.

Oh my, these are great! I especially love the second one.
Are these early concepts pr are we going to actually be able to change her clothes during the game? Or will they be available as one of the DLCs?

We've seen worse but the overall impression of the images to me is still lots of video fringing and noise. I'm sure someone will find a way to disable.

Maybe. I see a few spots that might show the effect, but it's subtle and definitely not found in every area you would expect it. Some of the bright rim highlights don't seem to show the effect at all.
Yeah, its so slight that it makes me wonder if its actually something else and not CA. I recall reading that they were using some type of custom built temporal AA, I wonder if that could cause it?
In either case, its so slight that I cant imagine youll notice it while the game is in motion the way you do in games like Dying Light or Alien.

We can customize Ciri ?
I thought her sections would be short quick ones without much RPG elements..Guess not.
Looks great.
The CA is definitely there, but it doesn't really bother me. I think I need like Lords of the Fallen levels to really bother me. That game has a nauseating look to it, with CA on.
Yeah that's true, added through a patch right? Guess I'm just thinking of the initial screenshots I saw with it on. Kinda formed my mental image of the game, lol.

Witcher 3 threads are always a pain in the ass. I come in here and there's green circles on random-ass screenshots. For better or worse I want CDP to put this game out so all the graphics whores can decide if its the greatest thing ever or worst, lol.

Well, I run Ryse maxxed @1080p at a locked 60fps. I can play Assassins Creed Unity maxxed @ 1080P/60fps locked. I can play Crysis 3 & FarCry 4 maxxed @ 1080P/60fps locked. I benchmark @ ~13.7k on FireStrike in 3DMark... So yeah nothing wrong with my machine.
Yet when I play The Witcher 2, everything maxxed @ 1080P, it is NOT a locked 60fps w/ubersampling enabled. It's 60fps a solid 85% of the time but it certainly isn't locked like the above titles are. You sure you have ubersampling enabled? Ubersampling essentially ups the games' internal resolution to 4K. I was a little surprised but not shocked to see that I couldn't keep a locked 60fps with it enabled. The game runs @100fps+ constant with it disabled.

Fresh breaking news.
Thank goodness. If you don't like CA, you best be playing on PC.

Well it isn't free (it is a pixel shader), but a toggle for all versions would be germane.
