So the RED kit will be there for TW3 like i said in another topic, announcing all the awesomness of TW3 at the same time with mod support is just absolutely perfect.
The high bloom has nothing to do with the engine, you can also use less intensive bloom if you want. It depends on what the artist likes.
Exaclty. Some people love it some not. I for instance hate the motion blur in games but that's just a matter of taste.Benzenzimmern said:
Lol. I'd still like to see the bloom cutback. When Geralt looks out a sunlit window he looks like he has a light bulb for a head.
Devs... you are killing me. Why oh why do you continue to have bloom at a scale where it make people blind when they look at it? In TW2 geralt "glowed" the moment he came in contact with any light source... Could we please not have that in TW3?
Could you scale down the bloom with... 80%? Or atleast please i beg you give us the ability to decide how much bloom we want from 0 to 100
0 is no bloom
100 is how much the devs want it to be.
Please =(?

Well, it's a matter of taste... I LOOOVE saturated colors... And the artstyle was great in Witcher 2.
So happy everything seem to be coming together nicely... Only thing that worries me is the fact that I would need to scrap my PC before I had expected... />/>/>

Uh, the screenshot is desaturated if anything. Justifiable, since it's night. Saturated colours and oversaturated bloom that leads to a complete whiteout are two different things.
More realistic my a** 
I never want realistic graphics in a game. I want the graphics to be coherent within the world, have their own flair and feel and - most importantly - an artistic vision. Case in point: flotsam forest at dusk during heavy rain.
That was not "realistic", it was AWESOME. Zeno Clash, a totally bonkers game I love had the most realistic graphics EVER. Not because it showed you stuff from the real world being rendered as close to reality as they could, it was because everything "felt" real for that world they were creating. And to "feel" real you have to take care of everything, not only shaders,HDR and so forth: animations, layout of environments, dialogue, story-branching, NPC routines, attitude, reaction to actions, character growth......the whole shebang

Hahaha, one of the devs posted on neoGAF:

To be honest, the more I look at the image scaled up, the more it seems like TW2 level graphics with added effects. In some areas, like the water, it actually looks worse. TW2 level graphics would be great in an open-world setting don't get me wrong. But I'm going to have to see this baby in motion to really judge.

yes the bloom they have set in REDengine is a bit much. Geralts face at night time looks like a light source its self
if its siting at 100% right now then id like to see it cut back to 50% you should only see a few specular highlights on someones face when facing the moon or a light source.

It's all great news all the way. But...!
That short piece is so loaded with PR speak it leaves sour taste in my mouth. Those keywords, "open world, immersion, open environment, roam freely"... I sometimes doubt they really understand what they mean.
I also remember TW2 being marketed as freeroaming RPG... yeah, good times.
Besides, even IFF they achieved that it's hardly novel approach - Betrayal of Krondor (a game from 1993) has everything (maybe besides the lack of loading times) that was advertised in this piece of news.

Well, maybe that's because "Betrayal of Krondor" looks like that: http://www.abandonia.com/files/games/208/Betrayal%20at%20Krondor_6.pngMrowakus said:
It's far more difficult to create an open world game with the graphical detail of The Witcher 2.
Ok, so let's go for a newer open-world, story-driven title: Fallout: New Vegas,Benzenzimmern said:
That's why I say they are overblowing it - it's not like it's any special achievement these days. Sure they will be first to create open-world RPG with Red Engine - which is their own engine. Nothing special - that's just the task they set out to accomplish.
Again, the PR department is somewhat failing at their job.
I know that my coment will stir up some hate here but if thats not an artwork the game looks crap. I mean my modded Skyrim looks a lot better than this and graphics and effects are really nothing special and its impossible to compare to my TW2 ingame image. If that an ingame image it probably was made on the worst pc that can run this game
Not sure I agree. They are explicitly stating what their goals are, and boasting a bit. That's the job of PR. The only part I didn't like was 'competing with modern shooters'....didn't EA already blow that pipedream?Mrowakus said:
