Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Witcher 2 was gorgeous but the tech was nothing demanding or crazy advanced like Crysis. It had awful dithering and grass LOD that popped up 2m in front of Geralt. Neither could be fixed via settings or engine tweaks.
Their reputation for requiring high end hardware came almost exclusively from the Ubersampling setting. Which was really just supersampling.
I'm gonna fire up my game and take a screenshot to see if it looks like that.

Looks like a bug for some people.
Of course, He's actually the one who made it lol.

It's kind of perplexing the way some people equate desaturated colors with "good graphics" isn't it?
Granted, the older shot is a direct feed official screenshot and the bottom one is from a crappy compressed youtube video, but I don't see what's so great or superior about the older look.
For my , is better the last versión. more better
Fucking hell, yes he did. You should be promoting your work more often EC, improves immersion dramatically.

It looks like a great 'it's about to go down' moment. I hope it's a higher tier enemy so I can have that sense if fear if I accidentally encounter it.
For my , is better the second
Yeah I really only noticed it on buildings much farther away than that pic. I do know that sometimes when you first spawn into the game, it takes a few seconds to load the textures. It even does that with games like BF4/BFH, DA:Inquisition, etc.
For my , is better the last versión. more better
Better comparison. They're all pretty close in my judgment. I do like the ground foliage in the top shot better, but I think the monster/character models are better in the new shots.
Game doesn't really look like that. There are known LOD bugs (usually for particular sections of town). That's not to say you can't force Unity out of looking great:
That's about as bad as it gets. For that distance and the fidelity the game has otherwise? Rather good.

Is the wind just going to be blowing constantly in this game or what lol, I doubt that is the case but almost all the footage we have seen so far where trees are shown they are swaying like mad.

Black & gold armour? Don't work with the Nilfgaardians, Geralt. It will only lead to trouble.
It'll be really cool to see different weather with that tech, especially while hunting some dangerous beast. Gonna be so good.

Too little too late, unfortunately. Got some good coverage but the Red Engine Editor arrived too late for most people to care.
I fully intend to do it with Wild Hunt, if/when I can.
I really cant wait to slice this goat faced zebra moose right in the face. Ugly bastard he is.
For my , is better the last versión. more better

I remember playing Witcher 2 on release and never really notice the dithering. Was it really that bad on release? When I played the enhanced edition it felt like it dithered a shit ton and it felt like some of the doors I used to be able to just walk through now had a short loading time. It's probably my mind just remembering wrong. W2 was amazing on it's release. It just looked incredible.

Yes, I meant the monster. The foliage, which depends locations seems better.
For example

I think in his shots the pictures are cropped to about 1/4th of the actual screen, so the objects he's looking at are actually pretty far away. Here is a shot I took in 4k, you can see the buildings further back are affected by LOD and if you zoom it in you might get the impression the whole scene looks terrible.

Here's me not zoomed in, sitting at one of the sync towers.
That's all the settings at max O_O
Grass render distance:
Game looks great so long as everything in view is relatively close. LOD has always been horrible in Anvil though. Unity just did nothing to improve on that.
In case anybody hasn't seen it yet, here is The Witcher 3 appearance on the Conan O'Brien show.

Pretty hilarious stuff.

Pretty hilarious stuff.
Nice gif. That does look awesome.
It should be noted that buildings can be decomposed into low poly models much more convincingly than organic materials.
Best part of the trailer for me.
Best part of the trailer for me is that they show how the game will actually look for the most part. They're no longer supersampling everything or maybe they have the standard AA turned down a bit more.
I'm very surprised if we see PC reviews before release of the game, but last I looked up it was still only PS4 copies being reviewed.
Crank difficulty up notch or two, Blood and Broken Bones should be good challenge, and combined with that enemy levels don't scale it can mean that monster that isn't "boss quality" is very high threat.
I doubt outlets like PC gamer would have been sent console copies though.
They have confirmed to have review copy? If so excellent :b

Loving the monster design in this game. That huge steroid goat hulk looks badass.

Gameplay screenshot from the Witcher forums, a snapshot from the recent monsters developer diary. Looks as good as the early trailers.

It just looks blurry, depth fo field effect I guess when firing the spell off witht he camera so close to Geralt.
Just goes to show that for some weird reason a lot of people do think that blurry = better graphics.
I think it has to do with film CGI, which is very soft in order to blend in with 24 FPS film.
