It is no mistery that the're looking for the same visuals in all platforms. Unfortunately it's how console market works I presume. Anyway this doesn't exclude the fact that PC version will probably play better, smoother, and will benefit form added effects/filter that will not revolutionize but still improve graphical quality (particles, shadows, illumination).. provided you have a capable rig of course 
If this is true, and an accurate translation, then this pretty much means the downgrade is confirmed. Aiming for visual parity, uber-sampling and hairworks aside, would mean the PC version will look worse for the sake of the console versions.
Or it is simple PR talk, in order not to put the console people off. Who knows. We'll know, when we're playing the game in May and can compare the different settings and platforms.
The more likely inference from that statement is that the consoles will be at parity with the minimum-spec PC. That would not be any kind of downgrade. If they had stated, which they did not, that the consoles will be at parity with a recommended-spec PC, or that the performance of the game on PC would not exceed consoles, then you could get the brickbats out. But they didn't say that, and claiming they did when they did not smells of FUD.
PC obviously not limited to 30fps & 1080p. The more important question is, whats beyond resolution & fps for PC?
I looked at the latest gameplay video on youtube (1080p), sure it is compressed, but I do not think uncompressed will be that drastically different, & its not as good as I remembered from previous videos.

I am not saying it looks ugly, it looks great, but I am just a bit disappointed that it isn't the pinnacle of Visual fidelity I expect from CDProjekt. I played Ac Unity on PS4 just yesterday, & I hate to say AC Unity looks better. Its obviously an opinion.
I do hope they polish the visuals before release to the best of what PC can produce.
I have been telling everyone & their Mother in Law that I am going to get a breast of a rig to play Witcher 3, but if its look minimally better on PC compare to PS4, then I might as well get on my PS4. Nothing wrong, but I am hoping the Witcher 3 will make want a new rig.

I love how people try and justify the notion that there won't be any visual downgrade when the Lead Producer says that there won't be differences between platforms.
Well, they said that the PC will have options consoles won't. That means that there will be a difference between PC and Consoles
textures looks great, no doubt, but there are other things that wasn't as well done. Juts honest observation (of course opinion).I was just watching direct feed, holy christ it looks goooooood. I love the details, especially skin textures, notice how sun reflects on this guy's arm, and that tattoo, my goodnes, it's beautiful (please enlarge the screen)
The wall on the right looks flat, the 90deg line is very obvious. Metal need to shiny a bit more, I been to many museums & I seen armors over 500 years old shine more than these helmets. Metals in Witcher 3 is way too subtle, in my opinion.
Some hemt from middle ages (I did not choose the most shiny helmet picture).
Anwy, the video seems to be from PC, (if it's already clear), as the subtitle are way too small for console.

Good to know. However, its not clear how significant will be the differences.

So can we get that interview properly translated? Because this is just seems to be fud that Selethen is spreading.
So the entire production of TW3 the devs say they will make it look as good as they can for each system, and now in the last few months that is polishing they would apparently say the game is going to look the same on all machines.
Even when they have proven it's not, proven to journalist who say the pc version looks better then the other versions.
And does Selethen speak polish? If not then this is the perfect example of why this thread should be forgotten.
Propably the only Graphical parity that is mentioned in the interview is between consoles or just applies, indeed for all systems, just for that event.

PhysX and Cloth can and do work on consoles, perhaps even Hairworks.
Also where exactly is Ubersampling mentioned as being there? It's a form of AA, one that is very expensive.

They confirmed Ubersampling returning in todays Q/A on stream.
That's an Nvidia image. Ubersampling is in house. They mentioned it on Stream on the dev commentary. You didn't listen to it? They also said PC will have Nvidia Hairworks (More detailed than console. The wolf demo is Nvidia)
Ubersampling in Witcher 2 did more than just AA
