A quick and dirty hack to put the logo in lower right (where blurring and darker textures suit it's background requirements better) with the image the correct orientation. Note this breaks the house style for logo bottom left, which is why it was probably 'fixed' originally.


Screenshot with Griffin and Geralt in new armor mirrored. Also cant understand how his swords holds on his back -is there one more belt i dont see from the back that goes to torso ? Also guys, we dont know if this is that Bears armor. Even that concepts can change during the game development. For me that armor looks just fine.And its has both protection from attacks and cold.And as i can note its just torso armor, because the gloves and trousers are still from the Wolf set.

Not sure how a better prepared and more concentrated combat showing would waste our times, but maybe you are confused.
On it's own it wouldn't but in the context of the 30 minute demo putting a bigger enphasis on combat would have wasted our time.In a demo made to show of pretty much everything in the game in one take you don't want to see a mob get wacked 30 times.That was my point.

To avoid that, for example, I would've wanted combat to be showed at normal or hard difficulty and in selected short scenes of footage all in a short trailer, maybe 2 mins.
...and I'd be surprised if we won't get one.Trailers that handle individual features usually come out close to launch.

An long uncut demo is just so limiting in terms of allowing you to filter the mundane or unremarkable looking things, from the stunning ones.
But it's a great way of showing how all those mundane things intertwine with the stunning ones.That was the whole point of the trailer and why they did't give one part of the game more air time then another.

But anyway the demo was not the subject here, just the screens, so enough with it.
Yes,we've gone way off topic.

The 2nd let you use a shovel as a joke weapon.
i was kinda hoping for the same sorta pick up what you want type system.
Mhhmm "combat" shovel.
(a redpoint for anyone who get's the ref)

Combat shovels are a real thing. Found to be more useful than a rifle and bayonet in hand to hand combat (especially for reconnaissance/trench raids, where noise inhibits the early use of grenades and rifles).

You're welcome. Always glad to help. :)

What on Earth gave you the impression you're in the position to tell me what I should like in videogames?
Get real.

I don't think we're going to get any official word on this ordeal. They've already committed the feat of answering the question on auto-refilling potions in the most ambiguous way and when repeatedly asked to clarify their response, well, boisterous silence was their answer. Naturally, it's entirely their prerogative to choose what to say, when to say it and how to say it. It really is. And it's mine to interpret it.

For all intents and purposes, until shown otherwise, I am going to assume a severe graphical downgrade has just happened. The alternative would be to infer a PR fuck-up of biblical proportions, and I give @Marcin Momot more credit than that. So graphical downgrade it is, and at least to me it's no trivial mater. I was planning on buying a new GTX980 powered PC just in time for TW3. Not anymore. My current system will do just fine.

I don't see a downgrade in graphics at all, hmm.. it's just the lighting and pic quality.
If you don't zoom in it looks great;)

Can you mirror all of them but the last one;)
 
Hakuna your tatas, people!



It's not the end of the world. Just remember how The Witcher 2 looked 5 months prior to release and then compare it to the finished game. There...done! You're calm now.

:cheers:

Watch Dogs is to blame for all this soap opera.Every little missplaced pixel or iffy lighting effect will automatically equate to a graphical downgrade for at least a couple more years.

No, not Watch_Dogs but a group of press and gamers who thought it was cool or worth it to evaluate every game on its tech alone and whether it offers 95% or 99% of graphical fidelity. Before the release of the next gen consoles almost nobody cared about that, really.
 
The game will look fantastic. Great on PC and really, really good on consoles. I trust them to make it look as good as it gets and best for the people with the best hardware, if you dont have a highend graphiccard you will still be able to enjoy it on medium, but the Ultra settings will be amazing, I am positiv. Also it is a huge project and I am certain the developers are as keen on spectacular graphics as we are. The game was not delayed for no reason....

These screens are just small teasers they give us from time to time and honestly, who in their right minds (developers in general, CDPR) would do something like showing "downgraded" graphics all of a sudden, indirectly saying "look people, sorry but this is the final result, sorry we lied and showed you photoshopped screenshots"?
That has happened too many times before with other games and I simply do not think the people at CDPR would dare to do that.
It would make alot of the fans angry and that was certainly not their intention with these "new" screens.

People are just wary of PR now in general. It's not just Watch_Dogs but that was a big one recently. After stuff like Aliens: Colonial marines, Watch Dogs, far cry 3, The PS3 reveal, etc. Bullshots and other general lies are becoming more common and people are wary of anything the devs or publisher shows. I'm not saying CDprojektRed is lying or anything mind you. I believe in them, but others are very cynical and wary after so many companies treat us like idiots and like we'll forget their marketing before the game was released.

Those are ludicrous statements.

But even if they were indeed true, I don't exactly run my gaming life as though it were designed by committee. Along with narrative and gameplay, graphics sits firmly at the top of my priorities. I make no apologies about it. I feel completely discharged from the seeming obligation to justify myself. And I don't retract from that stance, not half an inch and not under the vaporous pressure of those who seem to believe they're in the position to tell me what to like in videogames.

Horse poo.People have cared and made a big deal about graphics/tech since the 80's.With each paradigme shift the focus ended up on the same thing and the same disscusions came up everytime.In any case we're getting off topic again so we best continue this subject elsewhere.

I really don't know why you constantly feel the wish to justify yourself for something. I certainly don't force you to do it.

I just share my experiences and thoughts like everyone else and you're free to disagree (or not). But don't make such a big hassle as if I personally insulted you or something like that...
