I neither need not want photorealism. "Photorealism" is to my thinking an excuse for not doing art and a buzzword that viewers have been led to believe is something they want. I want fantastical, I want surrealist. I've already listed some ways in which the trailer falls short in ordinary mechanics and execution of art.
That and he doesn't sink his time in a big RPG (or MMO) anymore. OR was that only with his WTF is video's? (Can't remember if he also skipped on RPG's with his port report) Because TB is one of the only ones who I still trust as a 'journalist'/reviewer.If I want opinion or first impressions I go to youtube to watch few guys I trust, TotalBiscuit does incredible job with his PortReport series, but unfortunately he wont be doing videos for Witcher 3, because GoG is sponsoring his SC2 team
Yes, sorry, the point of my post was that I, quite frankly, don't give a damn about video game graphics. I play Dwarf Fort every other day. We're worried that CDPR is following the lead of these other developers. You're right, though, in that photo-realism is a buzzword. Style is infinitely better than a completely realistic product. E.g. Okami and Bayonetta.
i didn't see any problem with your comment neither :SGuy, I don't see how what I said was an issue. I simply said that I'm glad that he is able to see it, but I sure can't. What exactly is wrong with that? Thanks.

Maybe you should go to sleep
I think the main concern here is that the textures look low-res, and not that they should look more "photorealistic".
It really depends on what the game wants to convey. The fuzzy and deliberately blocky graphics of Minecraft give it lots of charm as do the cartoony graphics of WoW but The Witcher is a game that treats fantasy in a realistic manner and this is why photorealism suits it.
Stop bragging and educate yourself before posting anything on this forum.
But the textures don't, at their best, look low-res. The best, like Yennefers's outfit, are exquisitely detailed. This means it isn't the engine, or the choice of resolution, or any intentional downgrade. What it means is there are too many textures, particle effects, and so forth that weren't well executed. That concerns me to a degree that rumors about a conspiracy to downgrade product for consoles do not.

I'd rather them take their time to actually improve this thing if that's what it takes. In this case I don't mind the fact it isn't instantly uploaded. Maybe it means it's not just a bit higher bitrate
I don't see a downgrade, but there is no conspiracy, downgrade did happen on other games. this is a "watchdogs effect".
It hasn't. The whole talk abaut UI is a consequence of the alleged downgrade shitstorm that has transfered to other aspects of the game.
Come on now. I'm the OP of this thread, but let's keep this conversation to a level that's relatively intelligent.
To be fair, this is mostly CDPR's doing. Early trailers, screenshots and PR talk like "crowning achievement" "stunning visuals" are the reason why people's expectations for graphics are high (earlier materials were vastly superior to what we see right now, imo). The current shit storm would not have taken place, had CDPR released materials with the current graphic fidelity - from the start.
