My best guess: the same reason the default XB1 scaling does what it does, and the same reason default TV settings are beyond terrible: people like it.

welp : [
that first screenshot, specifically the bird sitting atop barren winter trees, is SPECTACULAR. i'm in awe. gorgeously arranged, breathtaking detail. this is the first time the visuals have really grabbed me in this game. what incredible art design. sold.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
Yeah, but the boats in Witcher look spectacular...
Really hoping we get a release date sealed up soon with some gameplay. Probably just frustration talking, but my juices are flowing on this one.
Yes, it can, if You turn of ubersampling, so basically supersampling.

I hope we won't have to wait for Maxwell 880ti too long after TW3 releases.
I'd guess the game will be more than playable with that setup.
Playable probably, since it will also be playable on a XB1. But would you want to settle for "playable" if you can upgrade?

this game looks stupid
ly awesome, i want it now
These pictures speak a 1000 words, it looks spectacular, atmospheric and most of all interesting. Quite the dramatic screenshots, good for the imagination. Loved the drawn sword approaching the theives/attackers and the mysterious look of the guys on horseback across the river as Gerald watches attentively.
After what we have seen from the PS4 so far, Im excited to see how this runs, I can easily see it handling this 1080p30 - especially if its going to be highly optimized which im not sure that many games so far have been since we have seen so many multiplatform titles rushed out to meet deadlines. Hopefully CD Projekt RED can start to utilize that asynchronous compute.

Thanks for the pics. Definitely my most anticipated title on next-gen so far.

Wow! The graphics on these screenshots look so much better than previous ones. I'm assuming these are PS4 shots? My interest just shot up massively.

My hope is I will have a Haswell E and a 20nm Maxwell GPU before this game launches. I've already decided to spend stupid money on my next full PC build.

These screens are stabbing me in the eyes, CDP really need to lay off the sharpening.

Yowza! Can't wait to revisit the swamps from the first game.

Hopefully we aren't in the swamps for 20 hours this time around.

I just hope the poisoning from enemies is toned down. Otherwise, a damn cool environment and step up in challenge.
If they look as good as that Gif with varied places/things of interest, I personally wont complain if we are

nice depth of field... and that city walk way breath taking
I know how you feel.
You almost got me again. I can't believe you're still at it.
It hurts my eyes and ruins the image quality. As someone who spends a lot of time adjusting TV settings, it'll drive me nuts.

I just hope they're actually working on improving the gameplay mechanics, instead of devoting all of their resources to making the game look pretty. Witcher 2 had this problem and played like a bad version of the Arkham games.

Why aren't they giving us screenshots downsampled from the Moon without their sharpening? ARG. It kills me.
But I can still see all the potential behind that grubby image quality. And I WANT IT SO BAD.

First screenshot has a real original Witcher vibe.

Arguably, but then they also released the fantastic combat mod last year for it.

Actually a bit worried that we're starting to see a lot of view distance restricting fog ala Witcher 2. Hopefully that's not permanent and just a weather condition.

Oh I played it at launch on PC and haven't touched it since. I might check out this mod later on. Thanks.

They were just showing XBO owners how their version was going to look.

Combat and other gameplay mechanics have been one of the focal points they've been working on overhauling.

Wow! Enchanted by these pictures. Thanks for the post Shinobi!
That's No Man's Land and judging by the material CDPR released so far (eg. cinematic trailer) it's foggy.
