It is done in AC 3, Batman Arkham origins, and it is done by Nvidia physx it does not need much work, it is not major technical undertaking and it is performance friendly.
No offense but can we please stop comparing it with other games ? The Witcher 2 was released in 2011 and had Ubersampling (Supersampling) which is still rare to see in games, I have yet to see super sampling in any of the AC games.
It's not that if a game is not using some thing it means it lacks in technology or something, it's not there because it's not required or important. A single game cannot show every piece of tech to you, that's the job of tech demos.
I think Witcher is by far the most beautiful game, i just want them to nailed it so hard
Supersampling to me is why of antialiasing technique that is not very efective. I tried to dsr witcher 2 on 2k resolution and it looked about same as with supersampling but with about + 13-15 fps.
Bold claim for someone who doesn't make games
Batman had some nice snow Tessellation effects yes but the entire game was set on Christmas Eve, the entire city was snow covered this was a long time design decision, not something you do on a whim. PhysX was used to enhance it, it worked WITH what they already had, not create everything by itself it's just a GPGPU API.
Anything AC3 related should not be in The Witcher 3.

Well they nailed it quite hard already with stuff like a huge world, dynamic day and night cycle, dynamic weather and foliage system, PhysX, APEX Clothing/Destruction, HairWorks and no loading screens.I think Witcher is by far the most beautiful game, i just want them to nailed it so hard
To answer your question more precisely, I think since Witcher 3 has fast paced combat and a lot of roaming monsters it will be quite difficult to make a terrain that hinders player movement and thus combat efficiency, I cannot think how Geralt will perform all the dodges/sidesteps and other fast movements with deep snow hindering him.
I know about Nvidia enhanced directX 11 tessellation but have you saw the difrence with physx on and off ?Bold claim for someone who doesn't make games

In game like witcher it will not be only cool but you will be forced to be tactical in some cases, think about possibilities
Yes. That's the game I used to test my dedicated PhysX GPU >_>
To be honest i dont like very much AC series but they done some good things with visuals. Witcher is by far the best series i played.
Maybe add it to the modding suggestions. There's a thread on it here.In game like witcher it will not be only cool but you will be forced to be tactical in some cases, think about possibilities

hahaha nice oneWhat you want us to stealth assassinate wolves ?
Snow doesn't accumulate on the ground/ trees/foliage, characters, models, anything, just as rain doesn't make puddles, streams running down the hills or raindrops dripping from roofs, branches and so on. Maybe next game in the series will be the first to not only have day/night cycle, but a true year cycle.
Maybe technology in 5-6 years will be enough to handle game as big, that with current 1:4 timescale we would actually go through all the seasons in game and have not only dynamic weather, but dynamic landscape changing accordingly to weather conditions, tied to effects of rain, snow, heat, displaying dying grass and fallen leaves gathering on the ground at autumn...hmm.... on second thought - maybe in 10-15 years .
actually Rain does make puddle in GTV V its pretty amazing how the rain is handled there, but i Guess the witcher 3 is much harder game to make since the game is MUCH more dense and map is bigger.
ANYWAY wanted to ask if there is Foot prints on the Snow if garelt walk over it?
Huh? I'm pretty sure puddles are there haha.
Also, Geralt does make footprints, and I believe they stay there for 52 seconds

one of the Reds confirmed in earlier post that there are footprints in snow
