Looks like shit

>implying those aren't prerendered

What about that image looks good? By open world standards sure, but otherwise it looks pretty par the course. Character models are the only stand-outs.

Prerendered af, nobody thought the game would look like that

By making it 100% generic and copy-paste assets.

It actually is nothing impressive if you realized this. But most people are dumba nd never realize it. And then shit on Zelda BotW which uses unique assets every 100 feet because they fail to realize the difference and adapt their expectations.

Wrong retards, that's the true power of PC.

in 10 years games are going to look like that

The masses did.

Slav magic
Even more impressive when it's open world and well optimized.

Just goes to show how little effort others devs put into optimization.

real life is just copy-pasted assets retard

That reminds me of something...

>Witcher 3 used to look amazing and atmospheric
>Now looks washed out as fuck with terrible lighting

Thanks PS4 and Xbone...

Witcher 2 looks better

Witcher 3 looks like an oil painting

felt too saturated at times on console. luckily i managed to build a good gaming pc and toned it down a bit

>Looks like sunset's not too far, better move my ass out

If this is generic copy paste, sign me up.

...

BotW looks better in my opinion.
Sure, it looks "realistic" but realistic is no artstyle. It's just realistic.

>le downgrade
end your pathetic existence

Why can't Bethesda build worlds like this?

skyrim

>What's that?

>damn a storm is approaching
>it's already starting to rain

>Not even Polish wizard devs can escape the modern downgrading trend

There is no hope left for gaming...

>Not much time left

>downgrade denier
Can't believe retards like you still exist

Was a boring world that had very little variety.

Their worlds feel more like something they just threw together in World Builder, and less hand crafted.

In a way, yes. But that's why we play video games and don't walk through random fields outside.

Witcher 3 did a horrible job.

>Alright, time to hit a tavern

...

>implying they weren't lying
all game companies do it dude get over it

they fucked up the wild hunt so hard

If you go cherrypicking screenshots sure, but then again the game looks stunning overall and that's what counts.
I hardly give a fuck about an occasionally mismatched tree when the towns and locations look this great.

>100% generic and copy-paste assets
actually the world of tw3 is one of the most handcrafted and real, every bit of terrain looks exactly how it would look taking geological processes into account, every flower grows where it would grow, villages are built how they would be built were they real, you don't know shit

>Zelda BotW which uses unique assets every 100 feet

You can prerender game engine footage. No where does it say it's running real time.

Sure they marketed it as real time game footage but it probably wasn't.

>"in-game" can mean "pre-rendered"
No, you're retarded, kys

>Sharpening: High

>Slav magic
So vodka?

More like one asset every 100 feet

Water looks good.

Lighting looks like ass though.

Textures aren't the best, but are saved just because the game's art style is pretty good.

>Sure they marketed it as real time game footage but it probably wasn't

thats the point
should have used "in engine" instead of "in game"

you can render stuff with the game engine you know?

Pretty sure they meant "You can prerender game engine footage." Not "in-game" can mean "pre-rendered".

And will run at a cinematic, buttery smooth fps.

>The shot of Geralt casting Aard in the middle of the room
>How the desk reacts to it physics wise, things falling off of it
>The audio of the items then shattering against the great
>The lighting of it all
Don't ever do this to me again CDPR

It was in game back then, but due to optimization for PS4 and Xbone, they had to downgrade it heavily.

It also didn't help that the game switched rendering techniques midway through development.

Basically, CDPR pulled off more than they could chew technically, and had to scale back hard in order to get it out the door and have it run well on consoles.

>doesn't know that prerendered cutscenes are in-game as well, if hey are in the game
wew lad...
Worked in marketing for 3 semi-big titles. Believe me when I say that we streched what "in engine", "in game" or "recorded from a PS4" meant or could mean several times.

Or don't believe me. Buy our games based on fancy rendered scenes.

same fag here, *shattering against the floor

Did none of you get the High Fidelity dlc?

I love how CDprojekt made a fucking great RPG that is good-looking on top of that and people still think anyone cares about MUH DOWNGRADE

>no LSD sky whales or any of the cool shit mentioned about the place in previous titles

Nah

Now you can.

>Don't ever do this to me again CDPR
they will

Hey there boo

God bless them.

but it looks pretty much exactly like that
on PC at least

>CDPR uses trailers and screenshots of old build to constantly promote the game
>Deny downgrading until release
>Game releases
>Is downgraded, and doesn't look anything like the game they were showing off

CDPR lied to us, and you're telling me you're ok with that?

They're lucky the game still ended up being good regardless, but if they try this shit again with Cyberpunk 2077, there will be no excuses this time.

Even with Witcher 3 being a great game, I still don't forgive them for pulling this bullshit. Especially with their stance of being "consumer friendly" and "for the gamers", while pulling shit that was essentially anti-consumer.

>autismo
Well, alright little fella.

That's unlikely that it ever ran smoothly in real time even on PC since it was too early in development. Optimization is a time consuming job and they didn't want to have multiple differently optimized builds for console and PC because that would be extra time and effort and just went with one to save money.

That doesn't make it count as "in-game", you know? Retard.
The trailer says "in-game", so his point is irrelevant. Retard.
Except they aren't in the game. Retard.

Why are you retards trying so hard to paint the trailers as pre-rendered? We all know they were running on PC and downgraded for consoles. You guys are fucking pathetic.

How did we go from this

The entire video is pretty much a cutscene, carefuly crafted scenes with their own animations, how can you be so gullible?
I don't think anyone thought it was gameplay footage except normies who can't tell a game from a movie.

>different models (eg eredin)
>less details
>no tessellation on buildings
>unshaded grass

plus all what's missing from here
youtube.com/watch?v=3SpPqXdzl7g

Here's the thing cdrone, stlm takes cutscene (or dialogue if you want to call it) lightling and applies it to game world, with shitty results at times.
Every other thing is left unchanged

>Speedtree technology
>good

All the trees look like green papermaché.

to this

>CDPR lied to us, and you're telling me you're ok with that?
Yeah, I don't give a flying fuck about grafix
Make it look like a 2006 game for all I care

>Can't come up with a good counter point
>"LE AUTISM XD"

Oh right. I'm on Sup Forums. I almost forgot...

>Except they aren't in the game. Retard.
Read again what I wrote.

counter point for what? they did it for a business position, consoles couldn't run it and i bet most pc couldn't too, why do you want to sell a game only you can run

to this?

Are there any must-have mods out for the game?

also I just got to this part and wtf it's like some dragonball z shit

>muh graphix

Kill yourselves.

>First was made in a shitty Bioware RPG engine
>Second was made in a custom engine

You have to remember just how low budget the first Witcher game was.

I mean, it had fucking Atari as the publisher. You can't get any more low than that.

>CDPR lied to us, and you're telling me you're ok with that?

Sure, the overall quality and quantity is still super-duper-top notch compared to anyone else. It's like complaining to a guy gifting you a Ferrari because it's slightly dirtier than the pic he showed you.

>scintillating
oh come on that's just unneccessary

they both casted Aard I think

>FRIENDLY REMINDER

Witcher 3 > Witcher 1 > Witcher 2

Marketing is never honest you retard.
It probably ran in real time with like 10 fps and they just let it render it out into a smoother 30 fps trailer.

The first ones.

witcher 3 was supposed to look like an upgraded version of this
youtube.com/watch?v=OOnVgzr_Dnk
rather than completely changing and downgrading rendering tecniques for consoles

>want to cosplay as Geralt
>the first game's outfit is the easiest and it works since he wears the same one the whole game
>nobody played the first game and people will just think I'm some dude with a white wig and a sword
I literally dropped 40lbs just because I wanted to cosplay Geralt and now I'm at an impasse

My point is, instead of constantly denying the downgrade and continuing to show footage from builds that looked better than the final build, they should've admitted to the downgrade and shown footage from the close to final build.

If they did this, literally no one would be complaining because CDPR would've been open about it.

...

vgx was indeed more similar to this

That analogy doesn't quite work because the difference in graphics doesn't even matter for the game's quality
A dirty Ferrari is worse (though for this analogy to work, you couldn't ever clean it)
The game's graphics still look fucking great and a slight increase in photorealism wouldn't change anything
What matters for immersion and such is how amazing the facial animations are

Wind Waker artstyle

Except CDPR has always been honest, faggot. And those graphics aren't far fetched at all for a high end PC at 1080p30, even back then. You must be a console cuck trying to deny the fact that you're fucking cancer.

Not only are not correct but the same outfit is in 3 and used very often

>STLM
>Not KNG Lighting

STLM just looks terrible and inconsistent most of the time.

It's also not configurable, like KNG is.

Hell, KNG actually has an STLM like preset that pulls off better lighting than the actual STLM does.

Hello guys. My name is Cdprojekt.. Give me an outdated engine and a series of books nobody knows and I'll give you a pretty excellent RPG game.
Give me money and time and resources and I'll build you a GOTY blowing everyone else out of water.

Questions?

This is just the released game with a different ENB. I don't see the problem.

>Except CDPR has always been honest

Even though they lied about how the Witcher 3 would look until release?

And it didn't fit with the scope and size of the game they wanted to make. And it looked like ass.

Pic related, early TW3 screenshots obviously using the TW2 engine.

When's Cyberpunk?

Old traditional pole secret: lodza moni

I don't have a PS4 or a Xbone you strawmanning faggot.
I'm not arguing it would be impossible, I'm arguing it was unlikely to have been an optimized build at that time and would not have run smoothly on consoles even with optimization and thus they merged everything onto one build during optimization phase instead of having multiple asset sets to work with.

>And it looked like ass
