POLL - Separated PC version with enhanced gfx as show in old videos

We know the problem...
The gameplay video engine shown in 2013-2014 was too much resource demanding because of more complex shaders, realistic lighting system, more complex meshes. There has been NO DOWNGRADE in the engine, but it's sure that because of the unified development PC/console version CDPR had to find a compromise and switched to simpler versions of the above mentioned gfx engine elements in the final release.

Now the question to CDPR is simple: can you please give us a PC version without the limitations of the console version and with the old impressive gfx settings we've seen in 2013-14 demos like these (see videos below), splitting the development?

I don't care and i don't want it. This game is the best looking open world game out there anyway. Why should i want enhanced graphics? I'm not going to buy 2 titans.

You really think they will remake the whole game just for 1 platform after they made it with all platforms in mind? Get real, man. If you were on their shoes... would you? I'm loving the game as it is right now. A few patches later the game would be even better. So no. I'd rather they make great FREE content-packed DLCs that adds more life and story to the game than remake it as a whole.

+1

Seriously, everyone who voted yes in this poll, stop and think for a second what you're asking. I love how some of us always act like they know so much more about tech, yet we've got people saying, hey, just remake the game with a completely different engine. How hard can it be?

 

[uthvag]

it would be really nice if you add an option which says that it is not necessary , but if implemented it would be nice.Also the 980 / titan / SLI market is too small in the PC community itself , without considering the maket as a whole.It is not economically viable

A few tweaks along with performance improvements would be nice. The avg gamer has a 660 , which can play the game on high @ 30 fps

 

[Davelix]

ofc +100

Tha game and story is awesome, on of the best, it's so pitty they didn't preserve the PC graphics, they lost their chance to blow us away as they did in W2.
An encanced editions with these graphics would be perfect.. And for those who say that the version with the 2014-2013 graphics would be too heavy, it's not only the post process effects and volumetric fogs, lights etc that changed, it's the color palette too.. very important.. don't know why they did that.. old colors were more realistic.

I don't get why people are against this , its not like it will come out tomorrow , by the time it comes out , you might upgrade to a new graphics card . Either that or re-experience the game in 2 years.

Thats the beauty of an 'Enhanced Edition' , many bugged , annoying glitches , minor annoyances fixed. That in itself can make a classic worth revisiting , if Visual improvements are also made to make the game world even more stunning, THAT IS A PLUS.

I for one will replay this game for years to come ,its already a great game and I want it to get even better , the better it looks , the more mods it has , the better its replay-ability.

I just want a dlc with a proper gwent tournament, not like the high stakes quest, much bigger than that

His suggestion is a good and understandable one.

[wooots]

instead of asking for even more ressources eater effect ( since they certainly didnt optimize anything from their trailer )
Maybe the smart thing to ask is OPTIMIZATION for what we already have ( = console version on pc )

Sometimes PC gamers are kinda...... ( and i'am a pc gamer.. )

 

[GamaH]

Don't need a remake. At least bring back the Nvidia smoke particles. Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag did that with a patch; surely it's doable?

 

[Zat0ichi]

You really think they will remake the whole game just for 1 platform after they made it with all platforms in mind?

The made it expecting consoles to be better.
There is an unfinished but I guess 75% done PC version sat on an HDD somewhere.

Not as unrealistic expectation as you might expect to release it.

Still a lot of work but CDPR love PC gamers.

 

[essenthy]

yeah, but not much hope, i would pay money for it since it would require them more work, they dont need te re make the game, just add what was shown in the 35mn demo, maybe it wasnt optimized, but surely it was working, who care i would play that at 30fps

There's already a thread on the graphics here:

And as this thread is clearly flamebait, I suggest you continue the discussion there.
