Edit:
It's not the same game we once knew.
And it really wasn't the same video, so not really a contributing post?

This happened also in Gothic 3
first 2 games had quite a gritty look and 3 gone full colors
Well this for example. http://imgur.com/a/QMFub#GDFT6SV
Bottom screen is obviously XboxOne and second two different areas of the game and two different enemies and could it also be that the power evolves as your character does?
Really where? I cannot find a single post saying that and the onscreen controls are xbox. Every article either doesn't say or sites it as XboxOne gameplay.

I don't think that anything is "obviously", or can "easily" be said to be this or that. That's how baseless speculation becomes a wide-spread rumor across the web, and a "fact" at some point. I see too many YouTube posts saying about the videos "this is just console footage guys", and I see them setting themselves up for a huge disappointment because they're dangerously inflating their expectations (and just to clarify, I think the game looks beautiful). Also, every footage was with a controller.Correct, you can easily tell it was console footage. It was pretty poor quality in my opinion.....nothing close to the 35min demo back around E3.
I take it the "shorter grass" thing is referring to me because I don't recall anyone else mentioning it, so I went to read my post again, and I'm not sure how you got from it that:when people say things like "grass is shorter" while not realizing it's two different grass models from different environments they're comparing, or "everything's too colorful now" while not realizing there are different time/weather/atmosphere settings, it makes this whole thread look silly. might want to take some time between seeing the supposed "evidence" and hitting "post reply"
Grass is noticeably shorter. That's what caught my eye. I didn't notice it back then when the screenshot was posted because the visual comparisons weren't really taking place heavily at the time, but now it pops up to me that it's much smaller. I don't think I've seen that sort of grass in the actual gameplay videos, but maybe that's just because I wasn't looking for it.

Middle age and ancient buildings and statuary were usually brightly painted, metal polished and "new". It is utterly fake to have dilapidated buildings, rusty armour etc in current use. (While it is true that "bright" paints and dyes aren't as vibrant as modern synthetic primaries, they did use bright-ish natural pigments, most of which were made from easily gatherable local materials ~ though some could be more expensive and rare/exclusive). Much of our surviving "old master" artwork is painted using natural pigments, and this can be exceptionally vibrant when masterfully handled.

Nuff said.The fact is, it looked worse than lowest settings on PC. Witcher 2 was a real High end PC game. Expected same from TW3 but... Sigh.
For Pax it is not confirmed at all. There is the Word "I think" in the sentence. This is how rumours are spread.

Pretty much everything looked amazing in the 35 minute demo, you had to look hard to find flaws.
In the time stamp below you can see what both the blood and the Igni sign looked liked from that demonstration.

That's mainly because draw distance in those screens is not as bad as in recent footage.Last know footage when no one complained: (September 2014)
Hey. What i noticed. The irden's violet color is realtime in 35 min demo but in GDC and PAX demos its not realtime.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlq2t91ZUGw#t=18m41s Irden cast violet color around. When Geralt came near his foot become lit from Irden's Violet color.
