The Witcher 3 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

The game really suffers from the Kwa "saturation to the max" style.

 

[Gerrard]

Wow, and people complain about Witcher's colors.

 

[bonescraper]

yes. next gen on ultra on pc looks slightly better than game running on 8 years old hardware truly masterpiece

It's not a PS3 screenshot you moron.

I don't think this needs translation

The Witcher comics are pretty blah, I gotta say. House of Glass is a Hellboy comic, with the main hero swapped. Geralt even calls out (!!) every sign while using them, because the reader is apparently too dumb to recognize what they are. (or the writer watched too much anime)

Very far from Hellboy quality. While Mignola did the cover and there are few nice bits inside - the artwork lacks refinement. I've read only The Glass House - the atmosphere is nice, though it feels too stretched out.

First image.
Triss: I'm feeling a lot better now. Perhaps we should do something more ...enjoyable?
Geralt: I don't mind that.

Second image.
Geralt: ?

Third image.
Triss: Oh, Geralt, you've been magnificent. As always.

Kwa "saturation to the max".

Well, everyone knows that Poland tries to please the Kwa as much as it can. Also it's a restaurant, not a game. Hatred looks pretty desat to me

The whole Kwa likes saturated colors comes from the "European" and "American" color options in the masterpiece "ArcaniA":

http://www.nisute.com/2010/08/30/jowoods-arcania-a-few-interesting-features/

That was before Skyrim of course. (Though many of the Skyrim color grading mods increase the saturation).

But even if it's from Spellbound and ArcaniA, there's probably some truth to it. Natural colors, tastes and sounds are increasingly seen as boring, therefore they are often cranked up a bit for the mass market, be it saturation, spices in a burger sauce or loudness in music.

:D
From what I've seen it does in no way look better than TW2.

Err...are those screenshots good or bad ? I think they are great but I don't know anymore.

"we didn't show the game on ulta settings yet".

God damn,almost no difference between low and ultra...how can you bullshit people with buying 900' card series when you show something like that,fucking pathetic.CDprojekt really shot itself in the foot with this campaign charade and it will take some time until people trust their bullcrap again.
Making shady deals with Nvidia,Microsoft didn't really helped them at all..

 

[Perkel]

no downgrade. Look at windows

 

[Cromwell]

So the extra time they needed was wisely used to butcher it?

Then my work is not yet done here.

If you've ordered through GOG and is eager to play, you can download installation files (approx. 22.5GB) in order to save some time on Tuesday. The soundtrack is also available for download.

Low settings look better

 

[Zeriel]

DA:I actually had really good environment/architectural art, it was just let down massively by character art. Witcher 3 could be downgraded by the same degree again and still be the better looking game because they have a much better art style for characters.

The germans did it again,they finaly said that the PC version on ultra is almost on par with PS4 version but has better framerates,Hairybullshit feature(seems to be bugged) and that's all folks.Buy GTX 980 to enjoy what an underclocked HD7870 could deliver.

http://www.gamestar.de/videos/specials,20/witcher-3-grafik-downgrade-analyse,82708.html

PC version is at maxium with 7490k + GTX 980 without day 1 patch

short Summary:

View distance is (way) worse
less/no Tesselation (Pause at 3:11, edge of wall for example)
way worse sky
lower LOD
low res textures in final PC build compared to trailer
Insinde buildings way worse lightning
worse water, again no tesselation
and ofc. way worse fire

The commentator says the final PC-version is a lot closer to the PS4 version.So folks,let's enjoy it as it is and stop the bickering....oh lord

what are you talking about? the video isnt even comparing pc release to ps4 release. Also nowhere was said that the pc version looks worse than ps4, more like the other way around that ps4 comes close to pc but lacks in the aspects you listed....


This stuff is getting ridiculous. now we have to spread missinformation to ride this pathetic downgrade bull for all eternity?

Preload has been available for a while now, there hasn't been any change in the last few days. The soundtrack isn't up for download yet, those are just the exclusive tracks which have been available for the better part of a year.

Are you dumb or what?

It's a comparion between the 2014 PC build and the current one (2015)...They clearly say that the game got ''butchered'' on every corner when it comes to graphic fidelity.And they clearly stated that the current PC version looks similar to PS4.

Hah the official cdpr forums moderation is brutal, every thread that doesnt praise tw3 gets closed. Those guys are doing great PR, lol. As for nvidia, most gamers will now know that an upgrade to console level is sufficient, since that is the golden standard for almost all developers: buying expensive bleeding edge gfx cards or more accurately any card that is above console level is useless.

 

[Doktor Best]

You talk about ps4 to pc comparison and you link a video comparing pc to gameplay trailer material, talk about being dumb. Also they mentioned some downgraded graphic features which are already known and discussed to death on any public forum while pointing out that the graphics are still awesome. Butchering my ass. But keep spreading your bullshit if it makes you happy, not that i give a fuck.

Since when the fuck a 35 minute gameplay count as a trailer material?


And you can see for yourself the ''differences'' between Console and PC.


Next time learn to read you dumbass.

B-b-but m-muh 4K.

I can't get into the head of people who reputedly buy Titan SLI out of hand. Perhaps I really am missing out on the wonder of huge monitors.
