Those are the same screens from yesterday (PC)
Steam if want all games in one place, takes cut,
GOG is want DRM free and CDPR gets every penny
As of now there isn't way to get game on both platforms with price of one.
You also get a few digital extras with the GOG version that you wouldn't have otherwise. An art book, for instance.
I assume the Steam version will have achievements and cloud saves. I hope that the cloud saves work better there than The Witcher 2.
I expected the GOG version to launch with Galaxy support so you could get Steam-like features on GOG but that may not happen until later.

Screenshots that got released yesterday, they are from PC version;
Those alleged XB1 shots look same, someone just messed around with brightness and such.

Stupid to spoil even that.
That teleport move looks great.
Looks like someone just cranked brightess up and messed around with contrast values.
Good thing no one forces you to watch this coverage. I just highlight that stuff as I know some people are interested.

On previous games they let you register Steam keys on GoG sometime after launch as a "backup copy", but they haven't announced anything like that yet.
I'm waiting for console footage just because that's probably a rough indication of what it'll look like on my 760.
Buying either GOG or physical. Downloading 40 gigs is tough for me. At least with GOG they let you download it in little chunks.

Gophers videos are great. He always explains things so well, he definitely helped me in modding certain game
Anyone?
This is exactly why I dislike PC gaming. Always having to try to place with settings to get a good experience
I suspect that you could have ultra or close to it at 30fps at the very least.
Or those that don't care just choose presets. You're not required to think about these kinds of things much.
Odd. After how much they stated Ciri is faster than Geralt, she certainly doesn't look it.
That blink move definitely looks OP as shit, and chaining that into an attack looks amazing. However her classic sword swinging and general movements doesn't really seem faster than Geralt, she actually looks more clunky to play if you aren't spamming that blink.
To each her/his own! A lot of people (including myself) love this aspect of the platform though. You'll have a "good" experience at default settings, but playing around with settings to get the best possible image that your computer can handle can be fun.
EDIT: 1080p ultra would be awesome at 30, we'll have to see. I can't imagine my CPU will be any sort of bottleneck despite being listed as the CPU in the minimum specifications. CPU requirements as listed by developers have been super weird this generation. Has there been ANY game yet released that performed significantly worse on a 2500K vs. a new generation i7/i5?

Just looks like a reskinned dodge to me. That might not even be the actual blink.
I think AngryJoe explained Gwent mechanics better, check out that segment if you didn't already.

I thought I would be like this when I got my PC but now I just take a quick look at settings and turn off motion blur, adjust my resolution, and check for any settings on low and see if I can turn that up then I never bother with them again.
Yeah, I saw his footage as well. Everything I have seen of it makes it look like something I will enjoy much more than playing poker.
I agree, looks legitimately good and interesting minigame. Also if it's as extensive as devs have said it to be then they have literally made full cardgame into their RPG.
It's not brain surgery.
Do you have an equivalent GPU to a PS4's?
Yes: You will get a PS4-like experience.
No, it's more powerful: You will get a better than ocnsole experience.
No: It's less powerful: You will have to turn down graphics effects compared to a console.
In terms of actual performance with your specific hardwar,e there will be benchmarks the moment the game hits. And all you relaly need to do is set optimal setting sin game or in the Nvidia inspector. All set.
If you WANT to you can tweak further by changing stuff you don't care about or don't like, or turning up stuff you do like and seeing if you like the performance that way. A few minutes tops.
Hell, you'll spend more time behind a load screen playign BloodBorne ont he PS4 than you would EVER spend tweaking settings in a game, but that doesn't stop peple from loving and enjoying bloodborne.
Console gamers exaggerate this aspect of PC gaming almost as much as the cost aspect.
PCs have definitely come a long way. I just have a hard time keeping up with them. Glad it's gotten easier with time, but it still seems cumbersome. Everyone has their preference. Not taking shots.
I recently got a dedicated PC tower. I7 3770, 16 gb, gtx 960. I got this solely for CSGO. I just like that I can load up my game on xbox and not have to think about updating drivers, tweaking settings and the like. Like I said, I just prefer the simplicity even if I have to take a hit in resolution or framerate. That's always been my knock against PCs. There is an infinite combination out there and the game can't be optimized for all of them like they are for consoles.

I was not criticising you, I was expressing surprise that CDP would even allow some youtubers to release this kind of footage.
Given you can activate keys for The Witcher and The Witcher 2 on GOG I assume the same will eventually be true of The Witcher 3, in which case the Steam version is the one to get provided you don't mind waiting for the DRM-free version.
Afaik youtubers were given 12 hours to play in any way they wanted and record anything they wanted. I don't remember who of them mentioned, but he/she said that he was allowed to record 8h of footage.
Edit:
Pic in proper res now
It's not cumbersome, it takes no more than 5 mins if you want to do it manually, for people who don't they can just use something like geforce experience to set the settings for them instantly.
Tweaking settings to get optimal stuff taking a long time has not been true for more than 3 years now.
Like I said, it's been a long time since I had a decent PC. Although I will say Geforce experience did not work worth a damn when i tried to use it for CSGO. Their "optimal" settings created a shitty expereience playing the game. Then again, I play the game in 1024x768 with all low settings because that stuff isnt important for that game.

Man.... its crazy we still havent seen any console footage 
There is no stopping this marketing train, it only gains more momentum each day.
I wouldn't expect it before release of the game. Often OST's have track names that may spoil events of the game.

Exactly how I look at it. If those nvidia effects hold true then it'll be far superior.
That's true. I hope it doesn't trail too far after the game's release though.
May seem weird, but more than the hype surrounding Wild Hunt, it was actually the few pieces of music I heard that got me interested in the franchise as a whole. Ended up purchasing the first two games a few weeks back on the PC and 360 respectively.

Has anyone really gotten into the loot system or loot scaling system?

Ciri's animations look janky af.
Interesting. Well hopefully Vernon is out there somewhere smashing on fools.

What's janky? They look the same as Geralt's to me.

Looks really clunky when swinging the sword and there's a weird animation stall for a few frames after the teleport dash. It's like her head is tracking without her body following.
