Always a pleasure, Marcin. Thanks for taking the time and bother. Know that I will hold you to your word.1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Not sure but that's a good idea and something we will definitely look into
#1 Puzzles me to infinity but #2 and #3 more than make up for it. They are enough. As it is, I am quite happy to give this thread a rest.
Glad I could help. The game is awesome. Once you guys play it, you will see it for yourselves.
Thank you very much!1. Yes

Well alright you've put your reputation on the line as CM. Big question: What exactly happened with the Elder Blood trailer. It's obvious not a compression issue.
I wouldn't say it's putting the reputation on the line. I see this game everyday. I know how it looks like and it looks damn good! Sure, some people may say that it doesn't but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think it's one of the best looking games out there and definitely the prettiest RPG I've ever played.
Of course! I meant guys as in people. Sorry for the confusion.Hope girls too
Anyway, you, CDPR have stolen our heart long before....
Never mind. I was kidding, though as far as I could assume, the claims come from guys.... so you had a point in your sentence
I believe Chris had mentioned whatever people were there in the studio threw together a trailer because you have to submit one if you're nominated even if you don't win and it was on 5th Dec US, which would be 6th something in Poland, a weekend.
That's one thing I wouldn't even be concerned about because that trailer... well that quality wouldn't be acceptable for a shipping game 5-6 years ago let alone today.
Unless of course it's TES.
I appreciate the official response, although my concerns aren't allayed just yet. #3 is a good idea, yes; one would think it almost obvious?
I think the question of parity, and whether there will be 'configuration-locks' (uniform draw distances across all three platforms?) is still at large.

I don't think there are too many people doubting the game will be awesome
Can you take a moment to comment on the console state for graphics?
1. PS4 is reportedly running 1080p 30fps with XB1 at 900p at the moment, Are you expecting the XB1 version to be upgraded to 1080p by launch?
2. Can you comment on the AA method being applied to both consoles at this time and whether you expect further AA enhancement before launch?
i think pretty much every journalist noticed the consoles hold up quite well compared to A much more advanced PC version, just curious as to how much further The consoles can be pushed/polished before May.
Read in a preview/interview yesterday they said they are trying to get it to 1080p but currently it was 900p.
Hope that answers your question.
I 've said it before. The only thing that puzzles me is the ground. Everything that is on the floor, be it snow, water, grass or dirt seems to be looking kind of bad on the elder blood trailer, and the latest demo, (or the earlier 35 min demo) compared to what we 've seen on earlier footage, particularly the VGX trailer. Especially the water in swamps. and the grass sourounding Geralt on that famous town Gif, and more. However everything else looks just as good, or in alot of cases even better.
Now the issues about console versions looking about the same as the PC, by the lead developer's own words, except very minor details like hair works, combined with the review of the journalist who claimed that the game had FPS drops below 30 on high(not ultra) while using a 980GTX have me seriously concerned. Not because i want the ultimate visuals on PC, but because i am confused if it's better at this point to upgrade my rig, or just buy a PS4 and save a buck.

That's a general statement that just about everyone issues, even the journalists who went for the hands on mentioned that the PC version looked better, had a larger LOD etc etc. I'd say it's a good sign if your average joe can look at the game and immediately notice the difference. As for the FPS drops, it's not always easy to tell the framerate with your eyes, it was a hands-on environment, people were allowed to play a section the game, not test and benchmark it so I would be wary of such claims.
Not saying you should dismiss it, I can tell fps by the eyes too, but it's not *always* accurate, take it with a grain of salt
Optimizations are still underway, such performance without optimizations is not anything to worry about.

Yeah, the thing is that up to now we do not have a clear picture on how a good PC will compare to the PS4 version, in terms of visuals and performance. As i said, if the visuals are consierably better on PC, without having FPS drops(for me personally 30-40 FPS is good enough), then i do not mind spending double on upgrading my PC. But if that's not the case i would just go ahead and buy a PS4. I guess the obvious answer is to wait for the reviews and act accordingly, but this is not an option for me. I will be buying and playing this game from day 1. So i really hope for an update on the matter before release.
I read that there won't be any differences in quality in terms of pc vs consoles. So if they can't get xbox to support 1080p, we (in pc) will have to play the game at 900p? ...
No. All that statement said they were using the same assets - textures, models. It has nothing to do with resolution or anything else of that sort.
Just that the same code for things like lighting, shadows, foliage, WHATEVER is used and not something different for each platform, same technology, doesn't mean they will all actually LOOK the exact same.
Example:
If setting 1 renders 5 trees and setting 2 renders 20 trees it's still the same tech/code just different values those are not mentioned.
The previews already mentioned that the PC version had a bigger LOD so I'm not sure what you're trying to say. The mod also destroyed the performance of your machine because it was never intended to have such a huge grass LOD over DirectX9.

But draw distance is a variable, not an asset, and they said the draw distance would be the same across all platforms. In Witcher 2 this was configurable (albeit limitedly, unless you downloaded a third-party configurator, and you had to download a mod to remove foliage pop-in).
