Pretty much.
There's an almost certain quarantee that it will probably be 720p30fps on both consoles with the PS4 having a slight edge in the graphical departement.
That PC footage is probably on an 770 GTX and what not.

Already confirmed to be 900/30 on XBO and 1080/30 on PS4.
Is there footage we can see from xbox one or preferably PS4 (I have a PS4 but be fine with just seeing what's the worst I can expect)?
Microsoft's E3 stage demo had XBO footage.

Was that before or after the delay?
During E3 this year
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...-combat-was-deliberately-easy-cd-projekt-says
"A 900p resolution is CD Projekt's "minimum"
"As expected, on PlayStation 4 Witcher 3 outputs at 1080p resolution."
The Demo from the MS E3 conference is running on an Xbox. Most striking difference is in the Griffin's fur.

I believe (not 100% sure) that this stage demo was confirmed to be Xbone footage. It's still gorgeous, but not quite up to this new video.
No PS4 footage yet, CDPR is working closely with Microsoft on the marketing. I don't think we'll ever see PS4 footage in the marketing videos, that will need to come from the press.
Also, I don't know what's changed since the whole "added power without kinect" thing, but CDPR said a long time ago that attaining a higher resolution was easier on PS4. I don't know if either will be 1080, but there's a good chance PS4 will be a bit higher. Realistically, whatever graphical flourishes are left out between PC and Xbone, I also expect to be left out of PS4. I would assume the only difference between Xbone and PS4 is the resolution.

Color me surprised. If they can achieve such a visual feast with 1080p on the PS4 I am seriously going to wonder what Uncharted 4 will look like.
Going a little OT there, sorry.

Well, this was pretty incredible. I'll make sure to have a PS4 by the time this comes out.

Thanks.
Was anyone actually kind of grossed out (in a good way) in how those 3 sisters looked like?
They were absolutely disgusting to look at. Been a while since a game did that to me.
Oh wow, noticeably different in quality (if I notice that's pretty big
). A little jealous of PC players. But, that's my compromise for not wanting to give my Mac up and can't really afford two computers (especially if we're talking about a Mac and a PC decked up to be a good gaming rig, neither of which are known to be cheap).XboxOne is confirmed minimum 900p and PS4 1080 so what we see here is a PC version with some serious framerate issues and huge popin.
But months of optimising to be done and when it all gets sorted out so expect big improvements from this. Not convinced this is ultra though, think it might be high as Gerald's hair is not enough over the very, very impressive x1 showing.

The hairworks tech should work on both AMD and nVidia. Remains to be seen how optimized it is though.

Looks phenomenal, but jesus what is up with the voice work? All these game protagonists sound the same. Gruff, monotone voice like they've been smoking KOOLs their whole life. A little imagination goes a long way.

Love the new combat kill animations. Have always wanted a game with this kind of visual quality where enemies break apart where you slash them at. Geralt does seem like much more of a pretty boy now, maybe it's the eyes? Want to see the beard look!
I'd be pretty dead inside if these monsters existed in real life

Sorry to say it, but honestly, you are a unique, delicate flower in this regard.
99% of people won't notice the geography is wrong, because they don't know the world geography presented in the books and barely mentioned in other games (as both games were played in very small locations). From the 1% that will notice, most of them won't care a lot.
They will put some forestry area and some hills as you go south from Novigrad, eventually you will reach a more wasteland-y area, which they will refer to it as NML, and they will call it a day.
Nah, if this were not CDProject maybe, but they care too much of the books and their fans to don't do things right. If they are not there, is becuase those zones are not in the game.
As I said, im not crazy guy that will get mad and not buy the game becuase its not accurate enough, as a developer I know cuts need to be done for games like this, would be impossible to do them if not, and being CDP I know they are not going to do things badly only becuase its easier for them but they will desing cuts and changes accordingly.
It's not really like we have seen the whole map yet, we know there are confirmed things not showing there already.

His voice is actually pretty nice and his work (not putting too much emotion) similar to what the book describes (also states his voice is quite unpleasant).

If that's high, then I am stoked as all hell. My rig will absolutely be able to pump out high at 1080/60.
Hairworks works on both Radeon and Geforce indeed. That being said it's possible it will run worse on AMD because they are not entitled to the Gameworks source code.

Yeah, I didn't read much of the books, but in a short story I remember some mention about Geralt's voice sounding a bit monotone and vaguely metallic.
Really hoping PS4 looks almost just as good as this or at least almost as good. I really don't want to have to buy this on PC.
Ultra? Hopefully not, there's a ton of aliasing.

Geralt's voice is literally flawless 100% perfection, and I say that as someone who read first Witcher book in 1999 being 12 years old at the time.
Yeah but then again AMD GCN is in both consoles, so I hope CDP will optimize it well themselves. Mantle support would be nice though, shame they did not confirm if it will happen yet.

I'm getting this via bitorrent. I'll be sure to leave it open to help you guys out. Thanks blim.
Also, old news - but this is obviously the xbox one version judging by the controller. Or it could be PC with a xbox controller, who knows.
EDIT: I think CDprojekt said the PS4 version will be similar to high settings on PC. But they are going to do a very well PC version with fantastic ultra settings. A lot of console games are a wash between PC and console, but for those with a rig to handle it on ultra, you'd be foolish not to get the PC version. They aren't ubisoft guys, the PC version will rock.

Interesting. Did not know this was based on a book. Guess it's fine then.
PC version
Ubisoft also packs their PC offerings with better-than-current-gen graphical settings.
Watch Dogs at ultra settings has over the PS4 sku :
-Better LOD
-Better shadows
-Better AO
-Higher quality water (more tessellation)
-Better reflections
-1080p resolution and above
-Higher framerate possible.
Can't be anywhere close to max settings though, doesn't look anywhere near good enough. Surely they can make consoles push these visuals.
Witcher 2 runs pretty bad with ubersampling on =/. And it doesn't even have good AA options beyond that.

Too bad Ubi can't optimize worth shit.

what, you don't like it when your PC ports only use one or two of your cpu cores?

I wouldn't expect any less when the price of the graphics card alone is the same/more than the cost of a PS4 and Xbox One.
In the PS2 era it was a real problem because there was a sense that PS2 being the lead platform held everyone back. I am glad it's not so anymore!

Stuttering was pretty bad for a lot of people but speaking for myself it was very, very subtle and the latest patch has completely eliminated it on my end.
To get back to the Witcher 3 it's obvious ultra settings will be very, very demanding and unfortunately I can see some screaming "unoptimized" as soon as the game does not run as well as they think it should.
CDProjekt should not be concerned with that. They should push the tech as far as they can on PC.

I hope this game has fast travel.
Damn. The 5gb download looks amazing, but not without mentioning some jarring faults. There's a lot of juttering. The only thing running at 60fps was the title screen. I didn't watch all 35 minutes, but from what I saw there weren't any other sections running at 60. Hopefully this game isn't running on high end hardware. Because the performance wasn't that good.
Yeah I think this must be the Xbox One version. The graphics are great but not THAT great. Unless they used a garbage PC to demo this on.

One of the reasons why a delay is not always a bad thing.
