Things we´ve learned today: 1. Avoid sunsets. 2. Your rig needs all of your savings. Now!
Damn, you're right. The beams in the PAX/GDC footage look really cheap in comparison.
The new screenshot to me really evokes a Witcher 1 atmosphere. The huts are very reminiscent of the sorts of huts you'd see in the Outskirts of Vizima or Murky Waters. Incredibly nostalgic and really gives me the right feeling for a Witcher game - it's the atmosphere of the first game that made me fall in love with the series, and seeing them recapture it here is awesome.
As for visual fidelity, it does look really nice. I am still hoping that there are more graphics settings to come on ultra (here's hoping), but this screenshot at least confirms that there has been no drastic downgrade, at the very least.

I do not understand what is different between grass in two pictures. They look identical. The difference is picture resolution. Look carefully. Same grass and vegetation in same place in both picture.
Now this is funny. If grass is bad in top picture now everybody must say same thing for bottom picture. If grass in bottom picture is good then everybody must admit that they were wrong about grass downgrade.

Because you think that the video on E3 conference was not on PC? Lol that's cute. The only video that is high setting we know is the Hands on video. Period. Pax is most likely around this too but it is not certain because damien is not sure about it. Period.
HHEEEEYYYYYY!!!!! Where is shiny warm colorfull sun lights?????? NOOO CDProject!!!!!! You downgraded game. That warm color was soo cool.
Certainly looks a lot more promising than the PAX footage from the same area.
However the lighting still seem to appear too flat for my liking, like the rest of the later screenshots released.
I usually dislike the effect but I feel some slight bloom would do wonders to give everything a slightly more "hazy/glowy" look. As this game now appears to have too little bloom... Damn, I never thought I would say that.

Another new one:
Hm. I still have my reservations with this one. It´s the same as with the picture from Nowigrad-streets. Somehow everything seems to glow. Strange effect. Not my cup of tea. Strangely enough - I find this to be way too clean. It somehow looks plastic.
I think this unnatural look is at least partly due to a dynamic situation cought on a still picture. And regarding the grass, even on the really nice looking screen in 4K the quality of the grass textures is not so great. Overall it all looks fantastic, but the grass not so much if you look closely. IMO.
Could be. I think it is the lighting. As soon as the sun is completely up and there are no clouds, the contrasts go wild and colors go crazy. Everything get´s a strange plastic feel. I think what this scenes need are a softer renderer. And a toner for the color scale.
Its simple, the difference, besides resolution, is in what light is doing to grass.
That makes people think the grass is better or has more detail or whatever, but I've said it many times, the key that makes the grass look at its worse is light.
That's because it's not an actual screenshot per say. It's more of a doctored up screenshot to make it look like that.
