This?
amfibiya89 in both cases the hairstyle is the Rivian Ponytail. I'm honestly not seeing a difference.
Oh well.
I just cant imagen what the hairwork will look like then. The hair of Geralt still looks amazing even without hairwork.
Thx for your attention but i watched both videos again. May be hairstiles are same. But really there is differece. When Geralt walking the hair moved different than GDC video. I dont say its bad. Not at all. Both are amazing. But i liked January one more.
In GDC hair moving same with SOD trailer, E3 and 35 min demo.
Overall, I agree.
The conversation has veered towards graphics partly because that's what's at hand for review and discussion. While I shan't get into a dispute about what's supposed to be more relevant in a game like TW3, likewise, I too have noticed how REDs have chosen to remain silent or at least rather terse about pretty much everything else. We're closing in on release. I'm expecting them to finally go into the aspects you mentioned. PAX would be a fantastic opportunity to do so and, for example, I'd love to learn about how the world reacts to player's actions. That point ranks pretty high in my list, so thanks for bringing that up.
Regarding the hypothetical downgrade, I could be wrong but don't think anyone missed that mention. Damien made sure he dropped the infomercial both at the beginning and at the end of the presentation. Message received. But in all frankness, and trying to be as empathic as I possibly can, I do hope that was just a slip of tongue, for which Damien can be readily forgiven anyway, given his otherwise terrific stage presence. Saying things like «we won't show you the game on Ultra so you can be surprised after release» is pure and simple a cop out I wouldn't expect anyone to fall for. Imagine applying that same logic to any other aspect, not revealing how big the world is or the way alchemy works just so players could be surprised come mid May. Come on. Until official word drops, Marcin's previous statement that they might consider looking into it is what still stands for me. If in the end they do not show PC gameplay on Ultra ahead of release, then I'm afraid I'll be left with no choice but to interpret that as a sign of potential trouble in that department.
As Damien explains, the effect of that particular Yrden trap is to slow down victims. Victims are slowed down. You watch them slowing down. Why do you need FX to further underline what is right there in front of you?
Floodlights are too conspicuous. If traps really need to stand out in one context or other, explore other ways of achieving it. Iterate for a bit longer - that's my humble suggestion to José Teixeira.

I agree about the Yrden-sign-effect; I would really prefer a more sublte visualization. But what I really don't like, are the effects of the sword slashes. I think this wasn't in the ComicCon gameplay, now it looks really arcade-ish. For me personally a plane strike would be way more cool, than this magic-tails-in-the-air-effect. In this demo it looks like an arcade action game...
I think Hand on vid had less realistic hair... But the good thing you will be able to choose

How do you know that i can choose?
What i dont like in GDC hair that, it looks like its hanging from 1 point. I mean when Geralt moves, the hair move left and right. It reminds me necktie ))))))
But in January footage hair moved just like hair. But again. May be you like GDC style. Its subjective opinion. Both are amazing.
Like I said, first time a game make me so hyped, I generally use a more passive attitude for the exact reason you mentioned, but with The Witcher 3, I just can't stay passive, not that I think the game will be the best game ever and blow everything else, but I am properly hyped, enough to consider upgrading just for that game, though I must admit, I went overboard with my last post. ^^
Yeah, I didn't mean that I thought it was umbra responsible for that. I meant it as a side note. For later on in the future, with faster gpus.. Camera-based culling like this, in an open-world setting, can make for very jerky frame rates. Where as the ability to maybe disable the tech would produce lower averages, but more consistent fps.
Ofc, I'm generalizing a bit here, it could be a functional dependency, like you seem to be thinking, yourself. Which very much could be the case. Saying that - you can indeed disable umbra on some games that uses the tech. Using the command line arguments on the launcher.
I doubt they're culling the foliage/bushes, in the way we saw in the video. I'd imagine they're just adjusting the alpha, based on Geralt being occluded from the camera's pov.
Anyways, not a big deal, of course. Just wanted to explain what I meant ;p

You're lucky, because I can't shake off that feeling. And it's not a healthy one.
You should not worrying, because they have plenty of time to do so. I would timeing this closer to the release.I don't really need any kind of spoilers, but I would like to see what kind of side activities are (or at least a few examples), how the crafting works and so on.
About the consequences, if they managed to made it like it was in TW2 they have already made a miracle in the Open World RPG genre IMHO.

The PR guys are pretty good at keeping the hype train going though, tbf. As soon as it starts fading. Something else trickles out and restarts the hype engines.
@wichat how dare you post a meme without a cat in it!. For shame lol ;p
