Guys - seriously. What model of PS4 are you playing on? Is it somehow different than mine?
I can see how and where the performance can be improved, but you're talking like it chugs at 3fps and at VGA resolution.
I'm on my second playthrough and I began on release day. It's been patched, performance goes up and down a bit here and there, but the bulk of the game is perfectly playable. Can I get every gwent card? Still no, but that doesn't ruin my game. I haven't had any bugged quests that were game-breaking. Sure, I've seen merchants who won't activate and empty chest windows and I still can't find Wolf School Upgrade #3... but I'm still having a great time.
I can't be the only one. Can I?

I think nobody is saying that the game is unplayable as you suggest, everybody is just comparing before-after 1.07, in my case i have no major complain about performance, there are some small issue but just details for me, In my case i'm having a Bug with a MAIN QUEST, which for me is not good and i would rather wait till is fixed instead of carry on due story line of the game is really good
I'm glad that you are having fun with the game in its current state but it's pretty much inadmissibla that the a game with 7 patches, 8 if you count the announced 1.08, is still full of bugs and serius performance issues like pop in and framerate drops (to 20fps) on certain areas. And still no release date on the 1.08.
I always said that with 400 dollares for a PS4 is not enough to get a ultimate gen console. They should have use better CPU and GPU at whatever cost. Cut the shit with the "if the console would cost more than 400 i´d buy a PC" crap ! We know that PC downsizing is shit,. I have been playing with PC for 24 years since 1990, im tired of the stupid upgrades every 2 years just to ripp off gamer kids, windows, giant cabinets and graphic cards, cooling systems and all that shit.
If a console that guarantee me 1080p/60fps would cost $1000, i still would buy the console and not a stupid PC, and here comes the big problem, Consolers want cheap consoles with great fps and resolution. well I have news for you: Impossible!!.

Not impossible; it just takes developers who know how to optimize. After 78 days and NO IMPROVEMENTS in the areas which need it the most (swamps and Novigrad) I can confidently say we're not dealing with Voodoo Shaman Coders here.
Batman: Arkham Knight on PS4: 1080p and stable 30 fps (27fps in scenes with massive destructions). Open World with gorgeous graphics.
Dragon Age Inquisition on PS4: 1080p and stable 30 fps. Open World.
Metal Gear Solid V on PS4: 1080p and 60 fps. Open World.
There is no problem in PS4. There is a problem in Witcher 3 developers hands.

True arkham knight is incredibly beatiful (I've been playing on the ps4 the last couple of days) and phantom pain has been looking pretty good too not to mention the 60fps... I mean come on, witcher is a massive game, true but still that's no excuse for this perfomance. It has nothing to do with the consoles, it has to do with optimization and the engine that each game uses.
They just need to lauch a optimization patch for each console. But they already mad their money so my guess is that they will continue to launch these minor patches that don't fix anything besides the bugs on the missions

And they're probably working harder on the DLC and only maybe...just maybe, after all the DLC have been released will they focus on platform-specific issues. But ye, they already got their money.
1.08 installed and shitty performance yet. LOD similar to 1.07 and worse than previous patches.

Still the same issues with the performance. I guess that we can now stop asking to lock 30 fps. They never gonna make it on ps4. Shame, false promises are the worst
Hey im not defending CDPR here, i agree that THIS IS a development issue not only hardware, but tell me how many triple AAA games runs at 60fos in PS4 ? and i dont even want to talk about xbone. Although i have to admit didnt know that MGS5 PP will run at 60fps. I played GZ and really liked the fox engine.
We all know that besides developers, who has a part of the fault in this, they are not the only responsables for the games performance.
Waiting? Ever thought that the fps can't be fixed with this game?No ones asking for 60fps. Stable 30 would be a nice start.Well, we'll have to keep waiting.
