I honestly don't believe this is what they would remove to gain some frames, there must be some other issue preventing it to work correctly on all human enemies and some monsters.

Look at the tons of blood splatter and decals in this video.:victory:

Oh yea. I was meant to say how disappointed if they really get rid of something like that.
I really hope that the bonfire while you meditating is still in the game.
But i thing it is not good idea. Bonfire appear from nowhere just like torch.
Not only there is too much blood to be 'real' it is that the color is not right as well. It always bothers me in the cart scene with the griffin eating the horse, blood looks like shiny red paint, and not only there, a cutscene, when killing enemies it looks like somebody poured a bucked of red paint on enemies AND on Geralt
It always annoyed me the totally wrong blood stains in Geralt's sword in witcher 2, but now in witcher 3 that red color is everywhere
Guys, blood is dark-red, not tomato-sauce-red I hope that while playing I'll overlook this, but...
I'm sure they are reading this stuff.. Most of you are being confusing with what you're interpretations of "BLOOD SPATTER" is. Some of you think there's going to be NO BLOOD AT ALL... some of you think there's just no splatter coming out of enemies when you hit them. And some of you think there's no splatter on the walls and ground as you are hitting the enemies.
I've seen blood splatter on the walls and ground in the past Witcher games, I don't understand why they'd get rid of that here.
It kinda made it to where when you were done with a battle, you could walk around and be like.. "Daaaaaamn, chaos!" Because all the blood on the walls and ground. It's kinda like GLADIATOR or something.
I'm assuming that if CD PROJEKT RED reads up on this and checks it.. they'll probably include it back in the game.. it's not like it's hardware killing mechanic.

I'm pretty sure that's still in. I've seen it in some of the preview gamepaly vids. He's just fighting in water there, so it's more noticable, with the pools of blood from the splatters.
Read the first post, it's not in the game, not anymore.
I just saw a sneak peak of the PS4 version (this here: https://youtu.be/sUrn49eivZc?t=38s), there was no blood splatter after killing a human enemy, so it's safe to say they in fact REMOVED IT from the game just like Marcin said in this topic. Because no one will tell me that it's some unfinished build on a console 2 weeks before the release.
Great, just fckn great

I see what you meant, now. I thought you meant blood splatter in general, but you mean it's persistance on the ground(landing on the ground and staying there). Yeah, it doesn't do that anymore. Sucks tbh, it looked really cool. Maybe they could have toned it done a little bit . Because people were a bit too juicy, tbh lol. But sucks that they removed it completely. I wonder why.Read the first post, it's not in the game, not anymore.

Since all platforms are running the same build maybe the blood decals was the difference between stable 30fps and frequent frame drops below 30 on the consoles.
All I know is it does not make any bit of sense. Can it be because they don't wanna alter censorship for specific countries so they are just toning it down for everyone? I just don't know and can only hope it gets patched back in as soon as humanly possible.

Why do you say they have 0 performance impact? Looking at Footprints or EBT (Enhanced Blood Textures) in Skyrim for example, they are tricky to get right, require cleanup to prevent save game bloat and increase the "weight" of scripting to install and mange them and (especially when done in higher res) can start having serious VRAM impacts. Now maybe CDPR's engine will be much better and avoid all these issues, but that's not obvious. Don;t get me wrong, I'd like to see these effects and many others in the game, but these things can have a serious performance impact and getting around the impact can take some seriously clever development work.
I can easily imagine there are some features which had to be (temporarily I hope) removed to make the game stable and playable on the machines they spec'ed it for. Ideally these will be added back in (either before release or in an update) as the developers can spend the time to optimize them so that the game is stable and playable at a decent frame-rate with them in. If not, perhaps some clever modder (not working under a deadline and a budget) will figure out a way to do so.
But to say that features like this have 0 performance impact doesn't seem right at all.

That should be a pretty quick fix for some moderately talented graphic artist to fix in a mod if the engine is correctly placing the decals themselves.Not only there is too much blood to be 'real' it is that the color is not right as well.
