New The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt screens
- Thread starter Dawg
- Start date
A lucky bastard who played the demo told me that there is indeed a big difference with TW2, not in models and facial expresion but in light and shadows, terrain size and detail, day/night transition and climatic effects. I think we can't see those details on pics
Oh, and orry for my english.

Evilore mentioned he saw the private demo and declared it his nonplayable game of show in the GB thread. Maybe he could shed some light on that...

Obligatory the witcher 3 wolf gif with fur.
What conditioner does this wolf use?
I would like to see some, the new renderer doesn't seems to be present in the new screens or maybe it's just the off cam video which make it look better.
I don't like the lighting of tw3 so much
yep
L'oreal . because that hair is worth it.

They should ease up on the sharpening, it ruins an otherwise beautiful looking game.

I've seen Witcher 2. This looks a good amount better. Can't wait, day 1.

You see a few minutes of a tech demo for the latest gaming hardware, and then games like this seem way old? I´m glad I don't have that mindset.
Fur too shiny, would not bang.
One is a massive open world game and the other is a push x to continue movie.

There's way too much contrast and the colours are all over the place.
Also, the pictures look too sharp, that's not natural.

We need a direct feed of the nvidia lighning and particles video comparing it to the witcher 2. Thats when you say WOW.
lol
Not even near.

I totally disagree with the bolded. I think this is one of the most "next-gen" looking games at the show.
For the most part, I've felt that diminishing returns have been pretty obvious in the games for these new consoles, but this one is very special. It has the kind of graphics that make you stop and pay attention. They're beautiful from both a technical standpoint and an artistic standpoint.
In fact, I can't think of any game at the show that actually looks prettier than this, or has more eye-catching visuals.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I'm not even sure it allows that.

You know it!
Looking at this game, if they improve absolutely nothing for Cyberpunk 2077 in terms of visuals I still would call that a victory for the presentation pertaining open world games.
Then again, I enjoyed roaming the wastelands in FO3 and NV on consoles.
It's a tech demo. I don't why people think it'd be playable. Later down the line, at least for linear games, we'll see characters as detailed as his was if not get better.

What kind of GoT mod?
It's a filter that you can turn off in the game options.

Everything except the main character's hair looks really, really good.

Those screenshots are over-sharpened to hell. I'm sure the game looks terrific, these screenshots look terrible.

The filter looked horrible in The Witcher 2 but it was an option you could turn off. The question will be is that setting permanently enabled on consoles.
if it is not a graphics option you should be able to switch it off on console's

Yea, exactly. I doubt we can really see the difference in pictures of youtube videos compressed to hell. Probably a lot more atmospheric and subtle things that, when added up, make a huge difference in motion.
rewatching the e3 trailer again. I notice after the wolf medallion at the end, with the glowing eyes. a flash screen of text goes by before the next thing. I've tried pausing a million times.
Anyone screen grab this yet? I'm going to have to search all the other Witcher 3 threads.
*edit* well that didn't take long! thanks gaf

I rotated this and made the text easier to read.
Anyone else notice what they said about the 4 CGI scenes in the trailer? I think I got 3 so far.
Geralt face close-up. Men on horses. Medallion (lol?)

Doesn't it have 64-bit HDR? Volumetric atmospheric effects in abundance, screen-space reflections... In action, the lighting looks pretty far from flat.
Are you saying the textures in TW2 were pre-sharpened? Source? The game had a sharpening filter, but it could be turned off (at least on PC). I've ripped the textures and played around with them and they don't look overly sharp to me. They're very detailed and tend to avoid muddying up the colours too much to 'fake' detail from a distance, but that's an artistic choice (one that I think works very well).

This gen is going to deliver harder than I expected it to.

I'm wondering why there hasnt been a GoT mod for Witcher 2. Didn't CDP release their tools?

Well, it's Open-World now. So even if so, it's still a great feat to achieve on par or slightly better graphics than The Witcher 2 while maintaining an open-world environment.

This and and MGSV is what is going to make me buy a new console, but I'm conflicted. I would love to get this for my PC. My gaming laptop with a 5870 ran Witcher 2 pretty well on high to max settings with a pretty good frame rate. I'm pretty sure, though, that considering the specs the PS4 would probably run it better than my current gaming laptop, but then I would have to give up mods and the awesome stuff they do for PC users. That and my PC probably won't be able to run it at greater than 20 FPS on medium settings by the time it comes out.

And this only tells a fraction of the story. The amount of movement in the foliage was huge in comparison.
Do we know anything about choices carrying forward (have not finished Witcher 2 yet).
Also, what about PS 4 players? Any indication of being able to create a savegame or if there will be a chance to answer some questions to set flags, instead of hoping for decent "default choices"?
Same here. I'm thinking about going PS 4 first and then picking up the game on PC later, for a replay, during a gog sale. Hopefully after a PC upgrade...

The horse looks a little lazy. Other than that, it looks quite impressive.
