The Witcher 3 probably not 1080P on consoles

During E3 they stated the PS4 was already running at 1080p
I don't disagree with that.

At launch this might have caused a shitstorm but in February 2015? Probably not.

Why? Isn't a difference like that expected now?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't both versions sub 1080p to begin with?
900p is passable, 720p on a nextgen console? That would truly suck. The only way I would take 720p as acceptable is if it gave us 60fps, but its 30fps.
Shitstorm incoming....If I do get the PC version it's going to make my 4GB 670s work harder than ever based on these gifs.
That statement doesnt actually say they are running it at 1080p on the PS4 though. It says they anticipate it being easier to do than on XB1.

They said at E3 PS4 version was running at 1080p already... so they never hinted at sub-1080p for PS4 if I remember.

It may or may not end up at 1080p but I imagine this is something that can change throughout the development process.
I really doubt my gtx 680 can handle that at max resolution
Maximum supported resolution is 4K so I don't think your 680 will cut it.
1080p with a mix of high and ultra should run really well though.

Animations are mostly a matter of art, not tech. The "gen" is irrelevant.
Let's stop spouting nonsense, please.

I believe them... I really doubt the consoles can handle that at max resolution.
Yep, for an open world game this huge and beautiful, I'd be fine with 900p on my PS4. They're clearly pushing the visuals to new heights, so sure, I'm okay with 900p if that guarantees 30fps minimum. No lower than that though. 720p is not okay.
As current gen games become more demanding and leave their last gen counterparts (cross gen games) behind, we'll probably see more games lowering their resolution just to keep a stable frame rate on current gen consoles.
EDIT: I still expect 900p @ 30 fps to be the future standard for AAA console games in about 2 to 3 years.

As long the game is good I'm ok with it.
Yes for sure. A man on a horse and a boat on a stormy sea are well out of the equation!

Complete with no Geralt shadow until halfway through the gif!
he is giving and answer and just covering himself, he clearly states he does not know and then states 6 months worth of optimising with some geomatry culling work offering up 6-12 fps.
I think we need to wait until much nearer launch, nothing is set or defined yet even by the dev team.
I think it's opinable what you said here.

Not at all. Dynamic animations are something I'm really hoping become big this gen. Just check out Natural Motion's Euphoria to get a sense of where animations could go with more powerful hardware.

True. But it should not be the case for a console that will be a little over 1 year old.

I'm buying this day one regardless, but I would really like 1080p on PS4.

It was running at E3 on XB1 at 900p and looked fine. I would imagine the PS4 will look at least as good as that. Didnt CDPR already confirm this?
Ps4 has 8 ACE. People don't give a fuck about those but even the 7970 has only 2 ACE.

High on witcher 2 is still extremely taxing. The LoD distance alone chomps out so much FPS. There's a lot of future proofing.

Console only gamers should probably count themselves lucky their machines will even be able to run this game at all (let alone run it in HD) and pray there are no further compromises to come down the road.

I do not even have a single clue at what ACE is, haha.

900p,30 fps.. Nothing new. Kind off shameful, honestly. Consoles should be working at 1080p, 60 fps in 2014. Sony should have gone with a better gpu.

No, it's not.
Technological limitations determine can at most determine how complex an animation can be, not how good it will look.
if you look at the footage, this game has a lot of very complex animations going on at any given time, which makes any claim about them being "last gen" complete bogus.
What people are referring about with that kind of statement is that they don't particularly like the feeling and style of those animations, which is hardly related to their level of technical sophistication.
....Really? That doesn't apply at all here, since the game isn't using Euphoria. Nor any other system based on procedurally generated animations, as far as I know.
All the animations here are produced individually and then probably interpolated.

They've already said they're also paring back settings/effects on consoles, specifically that tessellated water in gif 1 is gone. The LOD, DoF, and Motion Blur will also no doubt all be butchered as well. So I mean, the consoles aren't pretending to run those gifs at 1080p anyways, they can't even handle them at significantly downgraded 1080p.
Did you work on it?

There's more to how a game looks than framerate and resolution numbers on a piece of paper.
The Witcher 3 seems to really be pushing what those two boxes can do. I'm not saying it's not slightly disappointing but the game looks incredible visually to make up for it,

Anyone who wants the authentic Witcher experience would be playing the PC version anyway.
I had a feeling this wouldn't be 1080p on consoles though.
I am kidding guys enjoy whichever platform you buy it on
