It looks very good, but I don't think you should show in on the forum. CD Projekt might not like people to show their news before they announce it. 
That screenshot looks a lot like an Artwork. So either it's been massively modified or they use some pretty neat postprocessing filters for a picturesque look. Although I'd certainly prefer TW3 to go for realistic instead of picturesque look.
The press release states that REDengine2 was the internal name for the modified engine used for the Xbox360 version.

It's not like he dug it up from some hidden place. It's an official press release. Don't see a problem there.Mohasz said:It looks very good, but I don't think you should show in on the forum. CD Projekt might not like people to show their news before they announce it.
I would just assume they already sent it to the press and put a NDA on it until february 5th wenn their official announcement was supposed to happen and some guys just released it without permission. I guess we'll see.
A good google search came up with this article http://www.vg247.com/2013/02/01/witcher-3-first-screen-revealed-alongside-redengine-3-debut-report/
This game will be freaking AMAZING!

My initial reaction was "artwork" as well but it wouldn't make sense to have the engine logo in it then. Upon closer inspection, I can see it's in-engine, especially the familiar TW2 THERMONUCLEAR BLOOM on the snow on the right.
And CDPR aren't exactly known for using bullshots, so that's cool.
It's in an RPS article, so I suspect it isn't confidential. At least not now.

Lol im always in late when the newsletter/video gets erased for being confidential. Very excited for what costin quoted about the animations though

Wow, yes. I hadn't really looked at the picture, just the article. I see what you mean.

Most interesting quote for me:
The technology uses high dynamic range rendering with 64-bit precision that ensures superior picture quality with more realistic and precise lighting without losses derived from reduced contrast ratio. A flexible renderer prepared for deferred or forward+ rendering pipelines has a wide array of cinematic post-processing effects, including bokeh depth-of-field, color grading and flares from many lights. A high performance terrain system allows multiple material layers to be efficiently blended and uses tessellation for the best possible detail. The technology also includes seamless blending between animations and physics along with many more features. The engine uses CD Projekt RED’s new version of its proprietary REDkit editor with tools made specifically for RPG game creation. The editor can build complex, branching quests and set them in a free roaming environment with a simplicity not achieved by similar toolsets.
Ah, my wolf medallion starts to vibrate again!

I looks marvelous! A return to the Wticher 2 beta with those deep greys an blues. But I agree with Costin about the bloom, one of the weaknesses of RED engine.But is it real? It looks like concept art not graphics.
