Stop, my penis can only get so erect.
Don't stop.
I love the lighting further in the forest.

Agreed. If that wasn't good enough for some then it's probably time to build or buy a new PC.
IIRC Day 1 patch will fix minor issues.
U judge me all wrong sir, I'm actually quite pleased with this footage. I expected there would be some issues, but they appear to be minor. That's an definite plus, for a game of this size, with as much graphical detail it possesses.
Can't really judge AF these videos are too compressed.

Yeah, I don't think trees are going to look quite right for a number of years yet. There's just too much detail you'd need on literally hundreds (if not thousands) of leaves per tree to make it look right for it to work in most games and still be able to you know, run the rest of the game.

Don't all witcher games have noticable pop-in? I remember even seeing it in the PC build. I think it's just their streaming engine isn't that good.

There's not way my GTX 650 Ti is going to be able to run this, right?
I really need to upgrade ;_;

Yes this was a much better video. Benefits of being PS Poland I guess.

True, but as he was going slowly over a bridge I could make out some smudging.
Agreed. Instead of focusing on the inevitable flaws in the game's visuals, some gamers should really just look at the whole picture and admire the positives. It's what I do anyway. Probably why I hate the word downgrade.

Looks great. Now hopefully it'll hold up for the Xbox One version as well.
What was the point of that marketing deal?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Still looks beautiful
Pretty sure this not PS4 footage. It's from the gameplay trailer, PS4 pad buttons overlayed. Weird.
Yes, they will fix it, and your frame rate will drop to 10fps, I'm sure you'll be happy with that.
Pop in is not a bug, it's a optimization decision.
I'm currently playing GTA5 on PC on GTX 970 practically maxed out and there is also shadows pop in.

Dat density of the forest and lighting as you walk into it. OK CDPR you got my money day1!

It's from the PS polish teaser which had some trailer shots. The OP vids have actual footage. That GIF shouldn't be here.
Comparing the two they seem very close... but that silky 60 FPS framerate on PC, definitley adds to the feeling of atmosphere, IMHO.
That disappearing tree in the beginning of this gif :/

Looks fantastic. Never doubted CDPR.

I'm guessing that marketing deal happened a long time ago, prior to them knowing their version would be the worst-looking one.

Apologies, you are indeed rational. Still there will be others that only focus on those tiny issues and totally miss the incredible game in front of them, which I find kind of sad.

This isn't the PS4 version.. those are scenes from PC

Looks really good
I want some kanapka z szynka!
Good one lol. It will make the wait for HoW so much less bearable.
Edit: think there is no chance of having the polish dub on the US Psn version.

As I've been saying for weeks/months. The PS4 version will look great. IQ, Pop in, and Nvidia Exclusive features being the big differences.
Looks like they have a set number of trees allowed to be rendered and when it reaches the limit it gets rid of other ones... though being that close to the camera is a bit jarring

It looks great, but it seems like someone at CDP really likes the sight of trees blowing in the wind. They may have went a bit overboard there.

This is in the PC version too, it's intentional.
Few extra trinkets into CE package, I guess.
Personally I take that effect and added visibility to surroundings it gives over it not disappearing, but then that is very individual based opinion. It do look very... sudden

Yeah I get it, but maybe put them a bit further away from the character so they are not as visiable if thats possible. Dont get me wrong, the game looks awesome and I cant wait to dive in and be consumed by the world of witcher 3. I am very pleased with what we are getting.
Hopefully Blimblim can upload a direct feed video to Gamersyde soon, the youtube compression is horrible.
I don't think that's the case at all. It looks like they're making sure trees/foliage in the foreground aren't blocking your view.

Have you guys not watched any videos at all? This is a feature, not a glitch. It's intentional.

Does this game have some kind of wind system like watch dogs?
It's always windy for some reason
I might be the only one slightly disappointed in the aesthetic of the Witcher 3 forests so far.
I know we are just seeing a small slice of the world, and I know open world vs. zones but after having re-played parts of Witcher 2 recently, the aesthetic and personality of the forests in this game can't quite live up to Flotsam Forest.
However the fact I actually have an open world Witcher trumps that one minor complaint!

wow this looks amazing on PS4, compressed youtube vid and all.
