I thought they wanted there to actually be a modding community and not to repeat their mistakes from Witcher 2. Seems that's out the window now. Pity.

The thing is we've seen earlier builds of the game with much higher quality assets being used and much better lighting in place. These were scrapped to accommodate consoles. The difference now is minimal, and it really shouldn't be, nor should it take the specifications listed to only slightly...

While I agree it's good to keep things civil, those who say CDPR broke their promises are not doing so without good reason. I'm sure you've seen why. It's good that the console experience is as good as it can be, but the PC version has clearly suffered for it unnecessarily.

There was that recent interview where they said it isn't fair to compare a trailer to gameplay, so the implication is the game probably can't replicate the quality of the Sword of Destiny stuff. Not entirely surprising, since the 35 minute demo didn't look as good as Sword of Destiny, and the...

They're nearly identical...

Not quite. Her nose, lips, and complexion are clearly different now. I prefer the old nose, but other than that I don't really have a preference.

I think Triss looks pretty good in the final build, although I do slightly prefer the Sword of Destiny version.

While I disagree that what harkinsteven said was a fact, most PC games don't have their highest graphical settings set with the most common cards in mind.

And on that note, PCs do have adjustable graphical settings. No excuse to get rid of things like higher quality grass that seem to be working just fine. If someone can't run it maxed out then that's that, it still doesn't hurt to future-proof your games. Hardly anyone could run Witcher 2 on...

What has improved? Blood effects are pretty much gone for some unknown reason, the grass doesn't cast any shadows, the draw distance has decreased, some of the water effects have disappeared, and the lighting is worse all around. And what excuse is there to make that wall and those rocks look...

It's called speculation. It wasn't baseless, hardly meaningless, and is directly related to the discussion.

No? They're speculation, yes. They are not baseless. Also seems pretty relevant to the conversation on visuals in this thread.

Because it's common knowledge that the Xbone isn't as powerful as the PS4. Both consoles have similar architecture now, unlike last gen, so there aren't many cases of multiplats looking better on Xbox any more. This is more to do with dragging down the capabilities of the PC version so the...

spec·u·la·tion /ˌspekyəˈlāSH(ə)n/ noun noun: speculation; plural noun: speculations 1. the forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence

Speculation, yes, but not meaningless or baseless. Similar things have happened to other games. We know the game looks worse now than it did in earlier builds and we know Microsoft has a rather extensive deal with CDPR. I hardly think it's out of the question. I think people are more concerned...
