This shows that the Novigrad wall issue is still present in the PC version. I really hope it's a bug and gets fixed in the patch, it looks bad

I don't think it's a bug. Devs definitely decided to nerf the wall edges right there, reduced the tesselations.

PC vs PS4 comparison

[video=youtube;9Cn-ekHLqEY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Cn-ekHLqEY[/video]

That PS4 vs PC comparison is BS. Look at this one, there are like no shadows and textures are low resolution on PS4.

Mods to the rescue then

http://www.giantbomb.com/chat/ Vinny will do a great job showing this off and answering questions about it from a gamer perspective.

Sorry if this has been posted. Or if against the rules.

Edit: Its the XBOX version. and its the first hour so spoilers.

There is no shadow because there is no direct light from sun. And it looks so weird because AO is missing there.

They're nearly identical...

Okay

 

[onionshavelayers]

In the IGN stream, at one point Geralt fights with some Nekkers and does pirouettes to hit all around him.

Sorry I don't want to watch it because of spoilers. So is it like a full pirouette or just like a half side step??

 

[moonknightgog]

They're nearly identical...

The only difference is about texture.

 

[eskiMoe]

So much nostalgia I can barely handle it. I'm crying, but they're tears of joy. :crybaby:

The only difference is about texture.

And lighting, and lod distance, and shadows. I bet stuff like tessellation and reflections are also reduced/removed with min details.

So the game is a console port?

Lighting sucks on both PC and PS4. And LOD streaming and shadows are the same.

Um. I guess you were referring to the PC vs PS4 footage and I was referring to the max vs min settings video..

Now, see I can understand being disappointed. But saying lighting "sucks" is just sad at this point... I mean, don't you think you are being even a teeny tiny bit overreactive? Watch even the Precious Cargo quest, and see the lighting during night. Or the Geralt bath scene. I mean, the lighting changes A LOT according to different places and TOD, which makes sense. And that's why sometimes it looks bland. But as far as I can tell, it mostly looks gorgeous.

Oh, ok. asd

Yes. IN essence, they made 1 game for the weakest denominator. The XONE.

I'm just looking at the difference between the scene in which Geralt find Dandelion (so, SoD vs the PS4 footage, but if lightning is the same, and it is, well...) and at some scenes on PC footage where you are in a cave, underground, and there is an artificial light that hit Geralt, allow you to see him (while it should be completely dark. I mean pitch black dark)
Ok, maybe the term "sucks" is unfair, but when you see that something first was better, and now it looks worse for unkown reasons, the disappointing just...hit you.

I'm not impressed by the graphics, I hope at least the story, characters and world is well done.

 

[bezzio]

Even the Skyrim graphics were just okay at release, later on they made official texture pack and mods are also great.
