WITCHER 3 DOWNGRADE - Civilised discussion ONLY!

I just want to continue discussion about this serious matter. BTW i dont like how this is treated (every topis is forceclosed asap), is it on purpose or why?
So you wanted civilised discussion about it, i want it too. So please, do not close this topic! Large number of people had their faith in CDPR and preordered game as was promoted by trailers and even confirmed by the developer that there are no downgrades, i feel like its really serious problem.

Civilised discussion? That's not gonna happen mate ^^

The shaders all look less advanced, textures are lower resolution, there is no PBR, Geralts character model looks horrible etc.

To me this looks extremely flat.

Spoiler

Compared to what we have seen of the end product:

Spoiler

The first screens look dated compared to what we actually got in the final game.

One more thing (this time courtesy of Viveks86 from Neogaf that has more knowledge of this than I do regarding that whatif insider article):

"I've been warning people since that was outed. We know at least 3 items are categorically false and 1 that looks extremely suspect:

- AO cutbacks, which is total bullshit. We know for a fact that HBAO is still in (menu as well as INI file) and as far as we know, it has never been enabled in the last 9 months. The last I think we've seen it is in the 35 minute gameplay demo. And you can get HBAO+ as well if you had an Nvidia card as per Nvidia website.

- Global ocean tessellation is still in, as per the INI files and the menu settings seen today. INI shows up to 64x, which is the default for ultra

- Volumetric light shafts are still in according to the INI files. As we've seen today, it was not enabled in the stream and possibly never enabled in recent media. It is supposed to be on by default for both high and ultra, as per the INI files. So it was explicitly turned off, presumably pending performance optimization, though it may very well require more than a 980 to max out

-There is no evidence to prove hair works has been simplified. In fact most trailers including SoD does not even have hairworks enabled in several segments for Geralt's hair. The only thing people are going off of is the VGX segment where an NPC was wearing his fluffy fur coat and he wasn't in a later youtube preview capture. The reason for that is currently unknown."

Would be nice to have an civilized discussion, however it wont happen since everyone has different opinion about the Downgrade thing.

All I can say is Good Luck.

 

[Engagerade]

If there has been a downgrade, we will know when the game is released and a 35 minute demo and Final release comparison is out.

Until then this is fucking pointless -.-

Beware of the mods closing this thread because it's absolutely pointless and leads to nothing but insulting posts full of hyperboles thrown at the developers. The game is out in 4 days. There is absolutely no use in bringing this up again for the 90238742938472th time.

 

[Dromedarex]

Ok, so what we know so far...
In final version are:
Worse view distance
Worse lighting
Worse and nonreactive water
Worse LOD and details

So what? Game will not look suddenly better you know

First of all, I see a lot of "downgrade" as a development process.
Second, if you feel like you can't trust CD Project because of this "downgrade" - don't preorder the game, just treat them as any other developer. In the end they'll still deliver a game vith stunning visuals, interesting gameplay and perfect story (according to reviews, of course).

Sorry pal, but that's wrong. if you want to discuss, then talk with evidence.

So what are you trying to accomplish with this thread?

 

[Wolfmeister1010]

Personally...I think the game looks gorgeous on PC. Like I said, I don't think PS4 or Xbox One is very good in terms of the LOD and mapping and textures and stuff, but that is just because the world is so damned big and those consoles are only so powerful.


I am EXTREMELY happy with the final product.

Plus I haven't even seen the game with sharpening on. I bet that will make it looks more "VGX"y.




You guys..these moderators are being EXTREMELY responsible and well mannered, especially considering that people are bashing the game that comes out in 5 DAYS to pieces. So let's not start calling the moderators tyrants o something.
