This is clean texture without any postprocesing
You can clearly see that Geralt skin is pink, hair white and beard,brows black
So those colors are not matter of lighting
also imo this is perfect geralt, second picture is original
where is this from?
where is this from?
First of all, the last picture (the second of TW3 I posted) is not nighttime, it's daytime. The only difference is picture 1 is in the open, picture 2 is in a forest.
Second, I agree a majority of it is lighting differences. But it's too much the difference. He looks too healthy in the second picture IMO. And believe me, the footage the 2nd picture is from there are scenes in there where his face is even more reddish.
He looks to healthy and tanned IMO, too much red in his face in both pictures.
ONLY MY OPINION of course, but that's all I'm saying.
And look at the beard. Grey not white !! My only 2 problems = face too red (too much blood, not pale enough), hair not white enough (especially beard)

This is probably still my favorite look of his:

current Geralt design in-game is shit, CGI Geralt is kinda ok, still lame compared to this,
don't understand why they'd ever ditch this design, it's perfect...

100% agreed.
But for that matter, hell, even the "Killing Monsters" version of Geralt (the one in my profile picture and in @adamastor 's signature and profile pic) is amazing/good enough.

because you know the witcher better than the devs do. everyone here apparently does. I love how much respect everyone on the forum gives the devs, we must inspire confidence in them.
1. We respect them very much, and we have a lot of faith in them, more than in any other game company out there
2. We post our doubts and worries here because we want this awesome dev team to succeed as much as possible, and because we want an awesome game (A forum where everyone is just like "THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME GAME, CHANGE NOTHING" is not very helpful even if it surely increases the devs confidence)
3. The community knows Geralt at least as much as the devs considering he is a character which is taken from a series of books, the lore is the lore
Confidence is good. Too much confidence turns to arrogance and ignorance. Too little confidence turns to insecurity and the inability to make decisions. A good balance is what you need. And constructive criticism and repeated discussions to underline the importance of a specific element is good for the overall game quality in the end.
We love CDPR believe me, that's why we have so much criticism. Humans tend to criticize those people they like more than others.
And I am 100% sure CDPR understands that.
pardon my attitude but you know what I am on about. not every one is subtle on the forum with their views and although they respect the dev's, and I do agree that generally we do, our views and standards and criticisms are not always done with respect to others views in fact in heated discussion subtlety is often discarded. you take me way out of proportion when you bring the purpose of the forum to bears on me. I agree, a forum that chants "this game is awesome" is useless because it has no discussion. you all have a right to express your views and opinions, although that doesn't change the fact that such criticism can be inconsiderate and not always constructive. criticism are not constructive especially when they present views that contradict others without keeping them in mind. as to weather the fans know Geralt as much as the devs I can say on topics of law, book's and such, they can though when it comes to cdpr's decision, related to the construction of their world, or rather their interpretation of the books, we cannot simply say we know better. if I like the taste of pears and you like the taste of apples I cant say that apples are shit, who is right? this thread could go on forever because it is trying to discuss something that is subjective. Another thing I would like to say about fans and their equal understanding of the law is about Geralts hair. I am reading the last wish for the second time and in Geralts description on the first page he is described as having hair that is "almost entirely white". prier to this I had also believed Geralt's hair to be completely white, though the book (source number one) is telling me it is mostly white. you could now argue to hell and back over weather Geralt's hair is slightly less or more white than what the book suggests. that is why no matter how many times this repeated criticism occurs in this thread it will not end in being useful except if it helps people become more subtle. is the glass half empty or half full? god only knows, but since I am not sure of a gods existence I will settle for the best alternative possible for deciding on a subjective choice, the developers. this is their game after all, their idea of it is the one that matters, their vision when making decisions and interpreting the books. we can voice our opinion take a stance and show that we can make the game better, but we can also smile while wiping our soiled shoes by the devs front door.
I love CDPR as much as you do. I played the first game a year after its release and have been captivated by it since that day. criticism is not always good or bad my friend. I hope you don't always consider it to be useful, and I'm sure you don't. If human beings tend to criticize because of what they are, I will make it my goal never to criticize without listening to reason as best I can with as little bias from now on. the world is not black or white its not even grey, it is obscure, and I am 100% sure CDPR understand that.
I am sorry if what I said came off as insulting.

Sure, it's just opinions. This threat is more about "hey, we think it might be better that way, we would love it to be that way".
Of course if the developers in the end think their version is better we got to live with it.
In fact, I could even accept the hair, after all it IS mostly white. The main problem is still the face and how colorful it is, especially if you consider that the last 2 Witcher games featured Geralt with a face that was a lot paler. And I would really appreciate if it was that way.

Does anyone think Geralt's rockin' a goatee in this image?

Well...
Geralt becomes a baron of Vizima by serving Emhyr at the end of game so he can be a pimp all he want :troll:
yea to be consistent with the past games they should make him paler, though the tone isn't that bad to me at times his face dose seem too colorful as well. someones face might look like that if they ran a few kilometers though.
hahaha imagine if CDPR gave geralt the ability to get red face after a long fight and run through the forest. considering their attention to detail it might not be too far fetched.

Doesn't really look different to me, but it's hard because in the close up his face is half covered in shaving cream and the full body shot the distance/size and angle also makes it hard to tell.
I personally think no, but I could be wrong, we'd need a proper close up like Yen to know.
(That said CDPR always re-do faces like 10 times before launch, so it's highly likely it might change slightly again before release)
Whoever called current W3 in-game face design "shit" shows no respect do developers & community members who like it. Its your opinion but there is no need for such terms, man. Personally I love his face in W3, it's pretty much the exact same face as shown in CGI trailers and I dont understand why there's so much fuss about it. Too me everything is looking lore-friendly and im happy about it. The only thing that IMO needs more work on Geralt - is his face colour, its looks too human/warm atm. Witcher 2 nailed his face colour.
No one said anything about "shit".
I just said the tone it's not pale/unhealthy enough, way too red and filled with blood his face.
Aside from that, sure, it's okay.
Did anyone say "shit"?
