The old pics show higher quality assets and in huge quantities, not a handful of cut-outs
And?

In a trailer, the developers can use different camera angles, and show fun to see scenes, but that's it.
BS?
The video I posted was an example of the only thing where assets can't be compared to normal gameplay. That phrase is about the normal trailers, not CGI trailers
And the wind picking up sand and blowing it around? How many other games do it with that much detail?
As I said before, criticism is always welcomed, but the right criticism, not simple spitting. Previous thread was closed also because people continued insulting each other about old material, and it got closed after 300 pages if I recall correctly.
Anyway, if there are bad things, yes let's point them out in a good manner, because right criticism helps developer. My answer to your post is almost like my first post in this discussion.

Mmmh, delicious.
A charming effect to be sure, but one that collides with ground and plants that look like they are taken from a different game due to lack of detail.
Not to mention the way the foliage bends in the wind coming off the sea. Maybe other games have done that too, idk. But it looks incredible. Having camped on the coast of the great lakes before I can tell you that's exactly what it's like near large bodies of water.

Hmm to be honest there are some really really good parts but that last link, http://a.pomf.se/jbtifc.mp4 it kinda looks like it's either Xbox or medium graphics on PC...
Not trying to bash or anything, just saying what it looks like to me.

I agree somewhat, it is almost like textures and plants are put on low/medium while the more taxing effects like the wind/dust is turned on.
They are giving us 16 pieces of free dlc, and it's definitely gonna be worth the $69.99 price tag here in Canada. I can't say that for most games THE ORDER 1886 7 HOURS STORYLINE BS
Yup. The stuff they're doing with the physics in the game look pretty intense.
Can't wait to see how the game looks maxed out.
Since this was more directed at me than anyone else I felt the need to reply. I haven't forgotten ANYTHING, and that wasn't really my point; my point was my reason for being on the forum is to talk about the graphics and enabling discussion regarding the graphics (and, hopefully, getting a few solid answers), hence why I don't contribute to other threads regarding gameplay aspects etc. Also, as for forgetting...I don't follow this game 24/7, I just read the occasional news article and read the forums; I probably don't know as much as a lot of people here, and I certainly wasn't aware of their being options to toggle HUD elements.
Call me ignorant, choosing to forget, whatever...I've always been honest when posting here, and I apologize if it seems as if my lack of knowledge was viewed as an attempt to pick and chose what to reply to.
See, I look at that and although I like some things, overall I think the graphics are worst than The Witcher 2. Personal preference, but that is my opinion.
Plenty, since you appear to be unaware.
The graphics look very nice.
I watched the Pax gameplay demo a moment ago,
it looks to be of similar quality to Dragon Age which I've played a load of over recent months.
(e.g. riding my horse and fighting a dragon on the Storm Coast)
I'm struggling to see what folk are concerned about.
Detail and performance are always a compromise and it looks fine.

I'd like to ask a general question, does anyone believe that The Witcher 3, considering it is a huge open world game, doesn't look as good as it should? I mean, we can nit pick little details all we want but overall, do you think the game look sub par? Also, what is more important to you, textures or technology (aside from artistic design, story, ect...), texture-wise it's not perfect, but CDPR never claimed that it would be, however technologically speaking, there is nothing to say, is there?
Another thing I wonder, what are you comparing The Witcher 3 with when you talk about "next-gen" or how good the graphics are? Because it is important to remember that the Witcher 3 isn't like any games, it is, so far, the biggest games (map/world) since the new generation of consoles came out and since we have seen a major increase in visual quality of games.
I'd also like to point out (again) that we don't know the setting at which these gameplay videos are running at, we expect high but we don't know all the little setting, it's not a flash game with 4 settings, is it? We can also see that the screens OP did (the early ones) clearly looks like they have a sharpening filter on them.
Not even sure exactly what I am trying to say really, but I don't see the point in discussing a potential "downgrade" based on gameplay vs screenshots vs trailers, it seems to be completely sterile to me, oh well.

Speaking about the art design, I don't like the fact that it is all full colored and cartoonish. It doesn't fit well with a dark/low fantasy setting. It is artistically incoherent, IMO.
