*****************************UPDATE**************************************
Guys I just finished uploading the whole batch of screenshots, 190MB of screenshots to be exact!
The PNG images look the way they are supposed to, but the JPG files look ugly as f*ck and that's because of Dropbox JPEG compression. To see the image in full HD click with the right mouse button and select "View Original".

Thanks for understanding :)
You guys rock!

seeing how horrible these screens are (worse than TW2) I think even something like GTX 470 can handle it.

Old screens.

Game looks great in motion too. The early early early (early?:p) alpha I saw at GC looked better than those dx9 screens.

Have some faith in CDPR.

First screen has wrong colors. Here's this screen from August with the correct palette. Link is from the official The Witcher site.

It's now pretty common to see the "eew pc game cold graphics" comment ridiculed online. But this is the very definition of it.

No subtle light, shapes, etc.. just sharpened texture all over the game.

Uhm, the style of the applied graphical technology has absolutely nothing to do with the platform it's made on. You are making the equivalent of the abhorrent "Angular Graphics" statement.

It looks great but they need to use some AA if they are going to release shots. And thankfully the sharpen filter can be disabled.

I think some of the problems (not sure if anyone has already pointed this out) with the screenshots is that they have been saved in photoshop with ''bicubic sharpening'' turned on in the save function, either by accident or on purpose, it gives the effect that's making some of the shots look a little iffy.......usually I would use it if i was saving out some detailed icons that were really small like 32x32 or smaller and wanted to get the edges to 'pop' .It's not needed on these shots.
From what I can see this game is going to look gorgeous when its 100% done


edit :- apprently the compression is from dropbox as posted above, apologies.

I always thought Witchers artstyle was a little too sharp if that makes any sense....there is such crazy detail in everything that it sort of blurs together and its hard to read the screen, like a lot of visual noise

Looks good. But I'm more excited for Dragon Age Inquisition I have to say.

Really? I don't understand that at all. Witcher 3 is basically guaranteed to be amazing due to the property and CD Projekt RED's track record. Dragon Age Inquisition might be good, we hope. I'll be excited for DAI when I play it and it's good.

Different types of games. Honestly, after playing through The Witcher 1 and 2 recently, I'm not quite as ecstatic about the series as a lot of other people are. Extremely pretty at times, but that was really what I liked most. The environments are small in number and the few dungeons are pretty terrible. You only use/need like a few different swords and armor throughout the entire game. There's only a tiny handful of spells(and in 2, they're unlocked at the start already). The skill tree stuff isn't very inspired(and is particularly bad in 2). All in all, it lacked a lot of what I like in an RPG. So I can see why somebody would be more excited for another series. I still prefer The Elder Scrolls games BY FAR. Not even a competition.

Hopefully the open-world nature of TW3 means that a lot of these elements necessitate improving.

So sharp, my eyes!

Seriously, what is wrong with these screenshots? It looks like they've been condensed from 1,920,000x1,080,000p.

You do realize Geralt is a Witcher and not a wizard right? I do hope the gameplay is improved but the writing from 1 to 2 is leaps and bounds better. If CDPR can really take the writing and C&C and implement it properly in a sandbox game I'll love it. Elder Scrolls has been terrible in both. I'm liking all the open world games coming and maybe this will get Bethesda to actually try.

When was the last time you saw those screenshots? Pretty sure Witcher 2 on the 360 looked better than that on the whole. I know those aren't representative of what the game will actually look like, don't worry...

What does it matter what Geralt is? I'm not asking for them to turn Geralt into something he's not, I'm just saying its not the sort of RPG I prefer.

I'm also not sure whats so great about the writing in any of the Witcher games. The dialogue is terribly corny and the story is still 'oh come on' most of the time. It simply has a layer of 'mature paint' over lacklustre story, characters and dialogue.

Anyways, like what you like. I just prefer Elder Scrolls/Bethesda-style RPG's better. At the moment, at least. I'll give Witcher 3 a fair shake. At the very least, it should be good for a nice screenshot playthrough.
