It looks good, but I don't believe it will have the best visuals. At least judging by those screen shots (there are better looking games released or releasing soon). Of course, one cannot reasonably assume the game could look on par with more linear games given how large the world is (and supposedly no loading).

At least of any open-world game.
Mods can lock if these new screenshots didn't warrant a new thread.
Glad to see developers have learned from the recent exposure about poor female representation in their games, this looks very tasteful.

Wow good eyes!Someone on The Witcher forums spotted this little fella on the last screenshot.

Not initially, for sure. Midway is when it started to look great.

True, but I suppose CDProjekt will compensate that by eliminating pop-ins and horrendous performance issues.

Maybe they're console bullshots. They don't look too impressive, maybe it's the geometry looking fairly basic or lighting.

Its the world of The Witcher. Its a dark, fucked up, medieval type universe. They are prostitutes so what?
I feel like the closer we get to launch the more erm, basic?, the game looks. I mean like all the lighting and post-processing looks pretty damn average and thus the NPC models look rather unspectacular. Everything is flat and far less lively now.
CDPR set the bar too high with their constant (constant, constant, constant) bullshots and hyper sharpen-filtered images.

For art direction, I'm not seeing it... some villages, forests, towns, wolves, swamps, mountains. At least ACU and DA:I (Orlesian side), for their faults, have some nifty architecture+identity to look at. Even Xenoblade X vistas if you disregard the plain anime faces.
Technically though, my PC will bleed.

Looks good to me. Getting it for PS4, I'm pretty much expecting it to look as good as 2 looked on my 6970, with a couple extra bells and whistles but lower framerate. Is that a reasonable expectation?

What are you expecting here? Like...Are you really complaining about prostitution being represented in a game?
I...I just don't get it.

They're prostitutes. This is The Witcher. *shrug*
i need a new pc... dammit because I also need a ps4
dammit the last years of college are rough on funds
math dictates some problems are harder to solve than others
the computations to check the clipping of objects does not scale well

Xenoblade is sci-fi and ACU is a real life setting, that's why I said fantasy and Medieval. Hopefully this is a goodbye to the mismatching-studio-props (like sword and sandal films from the 60s, with looks centuries apart being contemporary) attempts we have seen before.
talking more about realistic games, The Banner Saga looks fantastic in stylized sleeping beauty style.

Pretty sure it'll be exactly that, maybe even more than just a few whistles!
Especially for this series, big lol at that argument.
I hope this is satire.

Yeah, lets change the source material to be "tasteful".

Not to mention its not just women. This is Geralt in the last trailer
Witcher games have a lot of sex in them. So what, whats the problem?

Ha ha! It would be the same thing with female representation in Game of Thrones, only one is Television and the other is a Game. It's a weird mindset toward Videogames where they somehow need to be held to a higher standard. It is simply the vision of the game (as in the time period that it is set).

Hoping my GTX 780ti will play this game in 4k at 30 fps.

Will look incredible if you have a $500+ GPU inside a $900+ PC certainly.
Won't look close to that on consoles. Otherwise a $400 console will be showcasing The Order next month, which looks phenomenal compared to anything out there.

Compared to Dragon Age, The Witcher universe is more down to earth. The charm is in the villages, the swamp huts and the wilderness, less so on majestic temples and palaces.

Every single female presented in those screenshots is showing some major cleav. I don't care how hot it is, farmer lady in the first picture, I don't wanna see any skin.
Ban this sick filth right now.
I'm somewhat underwhelmed.
As it looks no where as good as this
This single clip has ruined every other screenshot and video for me

Graphics look pretty generic honestly. Looks a little better than Witcher 2 but not OMGHOLYSHIZ better. Only real improvement I can see is maybe draw distance and definitely Character models. But I'm sure the gameplay will blow it out of the box and be awesome.
Witcher 2 for comparison:
For the gameplay to blow it out of the box, it just needs to work. W2 gameplay is an abomination
Definitely look improved compared to the terrible video game awards trailer and the 4 screenshots released around that time (that were heavily criticized). Embargo is up tomorrow morning and gaming journalists can chime in on whether the game really delivers in motion. Can't wait

People are never happy.
Game looks fantastic, it's a shame that it is still so far away. Fucking May.
