Old "in-game" gameplay GIFs from 2013-2014

From our very own thread: http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=731224

Here is the game with Ultra settings (and no, the game won't look like the above GIFs and images even without the Youtube compression): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_eRUq1PQPE

Other Youtube videos of the Witcher 3 can be found here: http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1036594&highlight=witcher+3

I know CDPR are the game devs everybody loves but they are no exception. Ubisoft got called out for Watch_Dogs and so should CDPR (and any other dev feeding us bullshit)

Unfortunately, I can relate to this comment.

In b4 lock.

Good. Now we have one topic for all this shit.

So were they downgraded or were they not in-game? The people need to know, OP!

first post wins.

Igni can't melt steel beams. Astral trails!

 

[Pudge]

It's those wonderful consoles that the game has to run on. It's a shame, but that's the reality.

 

[Shock_Wave]

Oh boy, here we go.

 

[Truant]

I personally find the vegitation very ugly. It looks unlit or something.

 

[Nokterian]

This.

 

[Morning Star]

First reply nails it once more.

Being tired of this happening doesn't make it less real

In b4 lock.

Was the WatchDogs thread locked?

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Saw these screenshots earlier, was waiting for this to kick off.

 

[Joyful]

consoles

 

[sappyday]

Those old gifs looks so good

 

[R3TRO]

Chrome handled those gifs like a champ today.

I hope the full game looks good on Ultra.

 

[ironcreed]

Good. Now we have one topic for all this shit.

What do you want to bet that it will still creep into the other topics as well?

 

[Darryl M R]

This thread won't last long. I'm looking forward to playing it but I agree that devs should stop over promising and under delivering.

 

[BigTnaples]

lol.


Is this a serious post?

 

[Tenebrous]

Can't tell much from those pics, but I don't think The Witcher 3 looks particularly special, to be honest.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Actually I noticed that long time ago, I just never forgot the 1st time I saw this gif:

However, I never expected it to run that well on PS4 or XB1. And by what I've seen of PS4 footage it still looks pretty good, so I'm fine with that.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

the way I look at it is that if it were downgraded on my particular platform, it's because the game cannot run properly yet at the previous settings. so, the final version is running the best it can look for now. as long as it's looking as good as it can, then i'm OK with it. it's too bad if it cannot look like a previous goal but that's about as relevant as that ever is.

so however good it ends up looking is neither too good or too poor but exactly how it was always going to end up looking.

 

[OdysseusVA]

I am shocked

 

[Chobel]

What the hell is atmospheric lighting?

 

[wanderjahr]

I mean, I'm going to enjoy the game. There is little doubt about that. But I am honestly disappointed that this is presumably the case. TW3 is the reason why I upgrade my GPU recently. I don't play that many different games, and this will be by far the most graphically intensive game I play on my PC until Fallout 4 is released. I just feel like I could have waited, or even just played on the PS4.

 

[ldcommando]

ugh, pre-order canceled.

 

[jonno394]

This thread crashed my phone browser three times.

 

[Tom Penny]

Other than 60 FPS it looks like console is the way to go.

 

[blackjaw]

The sky is blue?

The game looks so fun, can't wait to sink my teeth into it.

 

[Turin Turambar]

for fucks sake, not again

Nah it's ok. It's better to contain it to this thread (and let the other ones for the real game).

 

[mcarlie]

How do you know which systems these are running on? You could be comparing PC and console versions.

 

[BakkaGames]

Was the WatchDogs thread locked?

I never said it wasn't real. I'm tired of this because the "downgrade" is the only thing being discussed in The Witcher 3 threads for the past week or so.

 

[Surface of Me]

I hate gamers.

 

[SatansReverence]

Why do people still believe in pre rendered bullshit?

 

[shandy706]

Alright, I'll admit everything here looks completely different.

Could be PC on top vs console on bottom? There is a definite difference.


We'll see when I play this on Ultra.

 

[Lunar15]

1. Yes, it has.
2. Not everything has, some things have noticably improved, such as clothing textures, facial models, and other such things.
3. Who gives a shit. The game isn't out and you can see what it is now. Buy based on that.

 

[Alkastelca]

Funny how CD Projekt RED gets a pass but Ubisoft gets all the flak.

 

[Atilac]

I assume all trailers are lies until I see a streamer on twitch play it

 

[Mad Season]

Who cares. It's about the gameplay

 

[SpiralZilla]

Is this going to be another Watch Dogs?

 

[foxtrot3d]

 

[Electret]

I highly recommend downloading this video from Gamersyde. Excellent quality footage uploaded on August 19, 2014. I think this serves as a good comparison, as the game would have been out of the TW2 engine phase (as far as I understand its development; admittedly I have not followed it super closely).

 

[Chinner]

the graphics may have been downgraded, but the biggest thing is the change in art style.

went from dark and gritty to quite colorful.

 

[Tenebrous]

Who cares. It's about the gameplay

Witcher gameplay isn't that special, and that's coming from someone who's beaten Witcher 2 three times.

It's all about the story, really.

 

[Hugstable]

Who cares, the game looks fun as hell.

 

[Morning Star]

What the hell is atmospheric lighting?

It's like reverse marketing at work with these images.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Surprised it took this long for someone to make a thread about this. Won't end well.

 

[Shredderi]

I never said it wasn't real. I'm tired of this because the "downgrade" is the only thing being discussed in The Witcher 3 threads for the past week or so.

We'll talk about the game when we get to play it, don't worry. The game still manages to look gorgeous for an open world game, but the foliage in general took a big hit. They obviously had that higher quality foliage somewhere and if they didn't put that in then it probably was too much for the systems to handle.
