Yeah, please get this thread back on the topic of interviews and articles rather than a discussion of platforms and frame rates. Thanks.

Interesting information about technial details if they really apply. Might explain why the latest version runs much better than the earlier versions. I hope though that this doesn't mean that we have to live with a lot of pop-ups and less detail in the distance just to have a higher framerate...

Lol... It seems like they based that article off the forum chatter from yesterday.
I don't think they have the time to read the forums here tbh. But nothing is impossible.
Well a mod will change that in worst case scenario lol. But the draw of field will be great I think.

I dont know about that. The stuff about Umbra 3 and tomb files is exactly how it was explained by someone on this or the NeoGAF thread yesterday.
Yeah sorry I mixed Fov and draw distance lol. I am an idiot sometimes Xd
Or they read articles from other websites and saw the GDC presentation last year, where CDP Red talked about using Umbra.

"So we cranked up all different types of configurable graphics options from the grass density to texture, water and terrain details to 'Ultra'. Because in our PC (Intel i7-4790, 16GB RAM) there was also a Geforce GTX 980, we were also able to activate the option "Nvidia Hair Works". The result, to put it lightly, knocked our socks off: In Geralt's face, we saw each skin pore, his long shadow spread in the setting sun like a bed sheet on a dense colorful flower meadow, the breeze made his white hair flutter realistically in the wind."

"It looks amazing"
"Every direction you turned, there was a vast landscape with rich colours and a great attention to detail."

"Visually The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is going to be a showstopper. High-end PCs especially are in for a real treat. What I played at PAX East 2015 was one of the best looking games I’ve ever seen, period."

"you’ll probably be too busy staring at the sunset or the skin on the characters around you, as the graphics are looking stunning thus far"

"I really can’t stress enough just how gorgeous the game looks."
"Vistas go on for miles and the facial animations are the best I’ve seen in a long, long while. They even managed to get the eyes to look right, which is where other games with fantastic character animation and motion capture tend to go wrong and plummet smack dab into the uncanny valley, never to be seen again.
Social Media tends to go on and on about graphics and what it means to be “next gen”, but I’ve never really gotten into the discussion. This was the first time I have ever actively thought about the jump in technology. This is what I have unknowingly hoped that a “next gen” game would look like in 2015. Even the grotesqueness of its violence manages to be beautiful, and that’s not something I ever thought I’d say."

"The first thing that truly stands out about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the game’s visuals. From the moment I sat down with the game, I was blown away by The Witcher 3’s visual fidelity. Older build of the game or not, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is easily the best looking video game I have ever played."

At this point I believe the journalists don't have the power to sway people about graphics anymore. Partly because gamers are highly suspicious of them, partly because all the amount of footage, as well as the downgrade discussions, have set people's minds about whether the game looks good or bad regular (sorry, I can't with a straight face write that it looks bad, even when trying to be neutral about all perspectives). If you're part of those who think the game looks great (like myself), then it's simply nice to have your excitement echoed back.
Yea,. not buying any of it until Ultra is shown.
So far i've seen nothing but excuses on CDPRs part in regards to ultra.
"i-it's not optimized"
"w-we want to surprise the player!"
Until I see Ultra in motion (outside of trailers and screenshots) in the form of a gameplay video with my own eyes, i'm not buying this PR nonsense. Especially from a journalist.
In that case wouldn't they have confirmed the use of Umbra, instead of just saying it was "speculated"? Anyway, its doesnt matter I'll drop it.
Wasn't the 4K screenshot, posted a few days ago, on Ultra settings?
@Thebull94 I know you said no screenshots or video's but untill release that's all we are going to get.

Yea, i've heard this, where is the screenshot? I'm curious.
Yea, this is all i'm getting. Excuses, console favored marketing and a bunch of PR nonsense that is raising red flags in my head.
I don't like it, not one bit.
