Gameplay trailers? Sure, within reason. Promotional CGI trailers? Nu-uh.
Oh c'mon. I called BS last time on the CA, this time I'm calling it again.
Said trailers were either called gemaply trailers in the tittle or had mentions inside the trailer of it being in-game footage.
The game still can look like in trailers because it has every god damn same texture. We re seeing for months now the high / console setting. Of course there are thing not activated or less beautiful. I just played again the Witcher 2 and I have some fun with the setting... Damn the differences between high and ultra with uber sampling are so huge !! The game still can reach SoD trailer I am sure of it.
K, I'll try again. I did say within reason, did I? Builds change, they evolve. It's kind of part of the development cycle. If they gave us something like the SOD trailer and kept reality hidden until the game was released (Watch Dogs), then you would be right. But, as it is, they are showing us later footage (the very reason this thread exists) and we can form our own opinions from it. At some point expectations do become unreasonable. This is an open world game after all, not a corridor (Crysis) shooter. But, I can agree to disagree. My personal expectations regarding graphical quality are perhaps lower.
Every trailer has heavy editing in terms of Sony Vegas/ Adobe or whatever program they are using. It can take a lot of iterating to get just the right times on sound to video but that doesn't mean the video quality is necessarily changed because of it.
Not on that grass picture u can clearly see that those textures are pretty dam low compared to the first screens and trailers of the witcher 3, maybe a bit ofThat has nothing to do with textures, that's lack of displacement techniques such as displacement mapping/parallax/bump mapping/whatever.
Great vid ! I think Sod is classified CGI cause it has element of the intro for exemple. The rest is gameplay and I think still achievable.
This is true, but the heavy editing is something to take note of while making these graphical comparisons. It's possible those older videos also had similar quantities of editing but we just don't know how much. Indeed, knowing this, I do find it interesting that CDPR made such statements -- I suspect they meant something like the settings available may be tweaked to make the game look like those videos minus the editing, if that makes sense. Now, I'll be interested in seeing any comparisons between SoD and the upcoming trailer and what that tells us about the optimisation process through what I think will be a very similar process of editing.
This is the biggest problem with the game, all textures look flat. I mean this technique isnt hard on hardware and is really old and easy to do(parallax)That has nothing to do with textures, that's lack of displacement techniques such as displacement mapping/parallax/bump mapping/whatever.
yes but it has downsides. it has trouble interacting with other tiles when texturing, which is especially noticeable when it meets any edge, so it can only really be used on flat surfaces and not near the edge of a surface where the illusion can be broken. it can be used lightly but also has trouble layering, you cant really place a paralax texture over another parallax texture, the blend would look appalling and terrain blend textures all the time, it was in the GDC presentation slides in 2014. that said I think arma 2 used parallax mapping for some textures in its world and it looked ok.
