There is a shitty sharpening filter that you can disable on PC at least.

Man...
at this rate I'm going to wet myself when I get a glimpse of the first gameplay video.

30fps? I'm perfectly fine with that
The Witcher 2 definitely has in-game sharpening that can look quite annoying, but can be turned off by messing with settings files. All shots of W3 up to this point have had noticeable sharpening with really bad edge halo-ing. It looks like these three new shots DON'T have that, but they do have some form of transparency AA that is doing some slight things to foliage and the like. But not the ugly sharpening I recall from earlier.

Is this playable without a HUD ( never played part 1 or 2 )? Would be great.
For some unknown reason they love their sharpen filter.
Thankfully on PC you can disable that shit.
I'm really looking forward to seeing it on PS4/Xbone. If it looks good enough for me that helps justify buying a next gen console for me. Played the Witcher 2 on PC and Xbox and it was a fine port. Looked fantastic,
I hope some of the characters in Witcher 1 are in 3. 1 had almost nothing to do with 2. Shame really, I wanna see that creepy kid again. I think his name was Alvin.

They have a sharpening filter in the engine and some areas can look awful unless you edit the config file and disable it. It's to make the game a bit sharper after using some sort of post process AA which blurs the image.
30fps? I'm perfectly fine with that
isn't 25 fps cinematic?

That first pic reminds me of the Lower Undead Burg area in Dark Souls, complete with hooded assassin enemies.

Yeah.. This could cause a lot of unwanted shimmering on consoles. I hate that.

id be surprised if a 760 couldn't max this game at 1080p

Wanted to post something.. but I get a million 502 errors when posting all the time.
Basically... I have no idea why they sharpen their images so much... you can actually see black rings around objects due to the sharpening...
@60fps? Not sure about that.

1080p60? If so, blessed are the cheesemakers and CDPR.

Any idea when this will come out? Spring? Summer? Fall?
Yep, its crazy oversharpened, it looks pixelated because of it.
Game also does something strange with transaparencies, a lot low res artifacts there.
Lighting looks great though, very nice color transition from lit areas to shadowed.
Lack of PoM is a little disappointing though ;\
Also everything in those screenshots is doable in 1080p on PS4, except for AA maybe.

Highley doubt it, a 870 will be a bit faster then a 780 as per usal, a 780 cant run W2 at those settings and res at 60 fps

Doubt Spring, we'd have seen some gameplay by now. Likely late summer, early fall.
If it runs at 720p on XB1, we could see both the ingame sharping filter + the sharping filter the XB1 puts on when it upscales!
It's not in the game right, just screens? It's dumb for screens but if it's in the game it could be a huge issue for me. Nothing is worse than unwanted sharpening when you can't do anything about it (I'll be on PS4 when I play this so no mods for me).
That's pure evil.
It was a long time ago I played the first one but I really don't recall that...
...to the wiki I go!

The Witcher 2 looked great on the 360 and I didn't really notice any sharpening, but I played a while ago. I think it should look fine

Cool, thanks. I could really go for a game like this soon, but I'll I've got is a PS4. Them's the ropes with launch consoles, I guess.

Thanks guys. I'm now official praying that CDPR doesn't force the filter on PS4.
Griffy-You're right that it's not as pronounced as before, but there still seems to be some sharpening/post-process that's creating a terrible look in the fine details. In Photoshop terms, it looks they've reduced the radius and increased the threshold, but the amount of unsharp mask is still looks the same.

Nah that's how it probably is going to be in-game considering the Witcher 2 had it too. I think it's to get rid of the blurriness that comes with FXAA.
Alvin and Jacques De Aldesberg are the same person, it is easy to miss if you don't pay full attention during the game.^^

Good lord... look at the fidelity of those graphics. Hope the PS4 and Xbox One versions will come close to that.

Could you explain why they do this? My guess is to get rid of FXAA side effects but that could be wrong.
