Wrong, you can't compare the two games, W2 was not a dynamic Open World that is much larger than Skyrim. Secondly, W2 didn't have dynamic weather effects time of day visuals etc and many other effects seen in the W3.

I can understand ppl saying the graphics are simply amazing. They are playing it on a PS4 ...
its a shame, I can live with the visuals, of coarse we can all live with it, but its a shame, and it hurts allot as a fan. All that can be hoped or shown to be wanting is that CDPR at some point free up the game and put back those things that a game like this, as the pinnacle of quality with its superb gameplay, story etc, deserves to reach its greatest potential.
Console Gamers should stay out of the downgrade discussion than. PC and Console Gamers clearly have different demands.
It hurts because there was 0 doubt in my mind, from E3, this would be the best looking game the world had ever seen. unfortunately, it is not even the best looking game the 2000s had seen.
Far more importantly consoles and high end PCs have vastly different capabilities.
It makes zero sense to create a game that can only be played on the top 5% of PCs because only they can achieve the graphic quality and an acceptable frame rate.
farcry is a sandbox. da:i is open-world. (yes. it is the same thing. tw3 streams- it doesnt load thewhole thing at once)
fact is, tw3 looks like a 2002 game. it looks like rubbish.
Downgraded or not, W3 is simply the best looking RPG game to date by every means, name other enormous open world PRGs that are atleast as big as Witcher 3 is? Oh right... You can't because there's no. And your comparision with linear / path based Witcher 2 with absolutely huge open world is nothing but plain ridiculous.
sure i can. this is on the same engine on new gen systems. t should NOT look worse.

I wouuld suspect that tw2 and tw3 have the same amount of world data loaded at any given time.
I agree, people just take a screenshot from both W2 and W3 and go THERE look at the difference, firstly, it doesn't show the game in motion, secondly, W2 is not an open-world game, it is actually quite linear and without Dynamic Weather and Time of Day effects. All these threads started before TES Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim were released, certain people think that just because the game has been introduced to consoles that it is going to suffer from some graphical reduction, and they go looking for proof even if it is unwarranted!

What are you talking about? It does make a difference, W3 is OPEN-WORLD, it is much larger than even Skyrim, you cannot seriously think that it should look like or better than W2 which is not? If so you don't know much about programming or game development. If they had the graphics of W2 in W3 then all you PC gamers would be complaining that you cannot run the game in 4k without turning every effect off, or how you need a Cray Supercomputer to run it. No-one has mentioned how seamlessly the game world runs either, very few loading screens even going in and out of buildings, this keeps you suspended in the world. Been there done that, pre-release of other games it is all the same comments, Morrowind, Oblivion and even Skyrim suffered from the same criticism and everyone made the same posts over and over again swearing they were right and everyone else is wrong. Meanwhile the people who love the game are off playing it and ignoring threads like these because they appear ridiculous compared to reality in most peoples eyes.
My modded Skyrim is killing Witcher3 in case of textures and foliage in its current state. Cant believe i said that.. 0_o, but its true
dont be ridiculous dude, skyrim modded looks better than everything else that the market has to offerProof? Even modded Skyrim cant compete with W3 on High-Ultra settings. Skyrim isn't as large and has loading screens all over the place btw, W3 does not.
I was braced for a graphical downgrade but how much of a downgrade i didn't even phantom before i had it smacked in my face. This was worse than feared tbh.
The trees ,grass etc is just terrible and geralt looks like a plasgtic figure in the intro scene in the tub, remember that wet tech back in early 2000. What is even more annoying is that my rig is not even close to be running this smoothly??? got a 780gtx card with 4770k cpu 8gb ram. normaly this rig should be blasting away with 120fps with this kind of graphics. I must settle for medium grahpics to play at 15-30 frames as it is i just can't spoil the story and play it atm, just hoping for some serious optimalization and some facelift in the future. What happended during this production?
And to some of my fellow poster yes TW2 has much better graphics.
there was no huge downgrade, only the lod distance got reduce a bit and a few textures were lowered , but the overall difference lies within the coler correction and sharpening effect, but those are just a personal preference, that barely cost any fps anywayI was braced for a graphical downgrade but how much of a downgrade i didn't even phantom before i had it smacked in my face.

by just adding a stronger sharpening effect and changing the color correction a bit, it make the game almost looks like the early 2013 footage
