That's not how it works. If they would use every bit of power from XBOne and PS4 while downgrading graphical quality on PC just for making it "equal" they would put PC gamers on a lower level, cause we won't enjoy the maximum graphical experience we could get.

Aww that sucks. Ah well still looks gorgeous but I admit it could have been much better.
So I guess we should never trust early footage as a representation of the final quality huh.
If the downgrade is true I would really like them to just accept it and not pull a Ubisoft and insist there was no downgrade.

Nothing will ever be on par with Ubisoft's downgrade severity.
Called it before. Obviously it doesn't look as good as it was first shown in various trailers etc. Game looks good and that's it, to me it's certainly not spectacular or something - but for such a huge game I think the graphics are okay and we shouldn't expect something like Skyrim with Ultra-Photorealistic mods (atleast not on consoles).
I also hope that Witcher 3 will be Mod-friendly so we could have photo-realistic mods like with Skyrim. When you compare vanilla Skyrim against Skyrim with some of the sickest graphical mods/textures/effects made for high-end PCs - it's like day and night! Imagine that with Witcher 3 too.

It's not the fact that this is still WIP, but that the graphics were way better in June and it's been worsened now. CDPR must say something about this, even if the downgrade is in act, but at least it will be clear.
In that photo you clearly see some "downgrades" of graphics. Though i believe we should wait until the game comes out before we bash CDPR (maybe we shouldn't do that anyway). I must say that i noticed some "downgrades" since the VGX trailer, but we also has been shown a lot more footage lately.
At last, who cares if there is a slightly downgrade? It still looks good and PC gamers are gonna mod it anyway.

What reason would they have? This game isn't coming to PS3/360 there isn't any other reason to do so.
Also let's not forget, they pulled this off last time
Stop it with the passive-aggressive behaviour, will you?
We have been told by a mod not to duplicate the whole Xbox One controversy thread, a controversy that is completely beside the point in this regard.
You head off to the other thread if you're that eager to discuss the matter. This one needs not to get locked if we are to get to the bottom of this.
The upper screenshot is of a place that is complete in it's 'beautification' so to speak, even though it's not ready as you can clearly see but the grass there is handcrafted the one in Downwarren only shows computer generated grass placement i.e. it's not complete. First a layer of generated grass and then placement of things to make it look better and more 'organic'. Standard practice.
I'm not doubting you, but how do you know this is the exact case? Specifically the scenario that you stated in regards to Downwarren?
While it is beautiful, game journalists aren't exactly the most reliable people at times; however, I don't doubt that it will be one of the most beautiful games. Also, despite it being a very good-looking game, that doesn't mean it isn't downgraded.
He maybe mean that CDPR don't want the game to look better on any platform and therefore adjust the graphics to the weakest platform (Xbone and PS4). Though that's just speculating and i don't believe that. It's probably a technical issue where they have to pull down the graphics to be available to show live gameplay. And then pull it back again before release (after more optimising). But then again, you'll be able to mod it on the PC platform and do all the things the developers couldn't or didn't want to do.

Everyday of the week.
Anyway that little point aside. You are deicing on the games final quality based on images from random chunks of an unfinished project in various states of development. So of course you will see massive spikes, and dips in quality. Honestly this is why game developers don't like revealing any footage of their game until its essentially golden because of stupid shit like this.

Why show something that is better when it will inevitably be downgraded? And what's nice about PC is that you can adjust settings for better performance.
Well because other areas in that very video you pointed out look 'complete-ish' while Downwarren doesn't.
Look at the area with the hill where the Harpies are.
Look at when he's running through the ruins at 26:15.
There's a different with gameplay demo and actual in game upon release. Watch Dogs ring a bell? But of course i'm hopeful.
Im not expecting the game too look anything like in those first-early UBER nice screenshots.
And now this is how the actual game looks like from up-close.... Now Im certainly sure that I won't buy new GPU to experience such things in the game.. I hope there won't be so much uglyness in the final product... *Please don't be another Watch Dogs, please don't be*
