The latest IGN stream was on Ultra, though when they looked at the settings they apparently still had a number of effects like HairWorks turned off. Most likely you'll need a massive rig to be run the game with everything imaginable set up, and CDPR doesn't want to give an impression of false advertising this close to the launch.I know I have no right to request it but can we expect maxed PC footage before of its' release?
just force AA in control panel, also ign did not play it at ultra, not all settings where at ultra.

So because they had SSAO versus HBAO, Chromatic Abberation Off and no Hair Works they weren't playing on Ultra.
The game looks as it does. I personally won't play with Chromatic Aberration, Depth of Field or Motion Blur because to me the effects look like piss.
They had : Nvidia HairWorks Off, Anti-aliasing OFF, Sharpening Off, Ambient Occlusion on SSAO, Chromatic Aberration (thank god) on Off, Light Shafts Off.. and there are many settings hidden in .ini files.. HBAO+ can really help in this case, mainly with the grass and foliage..
Apparently it does to many people. You know "immersion".As long as the story and content is amazing does any of this really matter at the end of the day?

Because a good story needs systems in place that require time and money to develop and system resources to run them. So it competes with graphics for those. CDPR doesn't have unlimited time and money and our systems don't have unlimited power. So, it's not a matter of choosing one or another but a balancing act for all the resources. I believe Witcher 3 achieves this balance.I never understood this argument where we have to choose between story and graphics.
I never understood this argument where we have to choose between story and graphics. IMO sure the story line should be amazing in itself but if we can also have good graphics, why not? doubles the excitement for me at least.

I get that you know i bought a new pc myself and am a little sad to see an apparent reduction in what was shown, especially the population that is something i hope can be tuned for the PC at least. But im still no less excited by the game because i trust in CDPR's ability to write a game and a good story is what i personally like the most in games, the reviews seem to all agree the writing is the best in the series. Least it isnt something like watch dogs, where the graphics were the only thing that had going for it ^_^
The witcher is still streaming on ign if people want it. http://en-gb.twitch.tv/ign. I believe its on Ultra.
