Developers are paid to lie, it's their job. CDPR are just calling it "optimization" instead of downgrade. Just because you change the word doesn't mean you changed what you did, it still looks a lot worse than the e3 trailer.

They will also toss around stuff like "The e3 trailer wasn't a finished product you can't downgrade something that never got released" and "That was running on an old engine, the new engine works and looks a lot better".


CDPR should just outright say it's a downgrade because they couldn't get it to run on consoles and they didn't want to spend extra time making it look good on PC because then it wouldn't sell on consoles. If they didn't lie it'd be more alright.

EDIT: Holy shit I watched the video after I posted and the guy said exactly what I posted. That's beautiful.

He may have said SOME things you mentioned but you still completely missed the point of his words because you're so obsessed with all devs being liars.

One, the dev speciafically explained the distinction between downgrading and optimizing the game to be playable, he didn't just substitute downgrade with optimization like you claim.

Two, he also explained what a 'trailer' is. Paraphrasing him, it's engine (not gameplay) footage that is then further enhanced with various visual effects to make it look better for presentation purposes. He wasn't lying, hiding or evading it. He said it out right in the video that trailers are made to look better then the actual game. (which is pretty obvious to anyone who has played more than one game is his life)

Three, the game already requires an i7 and a GTX 980 to run Ultra settings fluently. How can it be a downgrade when the game still requires a hefty machine to get it to look as best as it can while still being playable? Of course you'll probably claim that the devs deliberately made it run worse on PCs to hide the fact the it was 'downgraded'. Honestly though, I'll take take CDPRs word, a company that have proven time and time over that they really care about their audience and want to provide them with the best experience possible over a nobody's childish and unprofessional OPINION any day of the week.

You're free to believe what you want but honestly you're only making yourself look petty.

tl;dr the game didnt run well enough on shitty consoles so they had to downgrade it. that's all there is to it.

The Witcher 3 4k impressions from a famous german gaming site/magazine.
Without the day-one patch though.

I heard that they didn't have all the visual settings available and that they were using an earlier build.

Some people said the game runs fine at ultra 1080p with a R9 280x.
But it is obvious that (going by what we see so far) the game has been downgraded.

Although I've heard the comparison videos are using an earlier build but I will wait and see if that is true.

I hope I am wrong though because most of the stuff they promised in the Nvidia tech video is not present in the game, especially the lighting.

Rumors from a "so-called" inside source suggest the downgrade was because the devs didn't want to spend the extra time and money to create separate builds for PC and consoles. Since consoles were so weak they had to downgrade the game because they didn't want to split the build.

You are telling me you can't see the difference of before and after? It's so ****ing clear.
Here's a picture from the 2013 e3 game.


I'm not obsessed with making devs liars. I actually like CDPR and think they are an okay company. I even bought the witcher 3 even though I didn't like the first 2 games I just support what they are doing, besides the downgrade

y ru playing playbns, its like 2 years behind in patches

[Abubakr]

I knew it was behind but not by 2 years lol. It was just the one some of my friends are playing and suggested to me.

Edit:

Just checked ping, getting 140ms on Russian, 200ms on Japan. 200ms might be too high. :S

theres not a huge difference between 140ms and 200 tbh lol

[Abubakr]

Oh ok. It might be playable then, I'll download it now and try it out. Don't really need as low latency for MMOs as you do in FPS games.

Mortal Online released a new continent/expansion yesterday. Today, the community completed the massive bridge that connects Myrland (the first continent) to Sarducca (the new one).

Here's the gates to one of the major cities of the new continent.

I am a moderator now, from this point forward, any Witcher 3 screenshots that do not include boobs will result in a 20 year ban for the poster.

Day one patch for The Witcher 3 added higher settings for PC.

High settings are now the old ultra and new ultra is a bump up.

Some benchmarks were released for the game and it looks like you need at least one 970 to get over 30fps since even the 290x gets lower than 30fps average with max settings at 1080p.

Glad I have 2 970s so I can max the game at 1440p.

The settings that read hairworks from means disabled and hairworks to means enabled.

They kept the same color tone ... SweetFX it is ,_,

It looks a little different but I will also most likely use come color correction.
Buildings in the background also are more crisp so it seems they fixed the annoying ugly blur.

I'll put some quotes here of two sections. Let's see how much I'm right.

Most games that are highly demanding will have SLI day one.
I can only think of a few that didn't and for most you can force SLI with Nvidia Inspector.
The only two recent games I can think of that don't support SLI is Dead Rising 3 and Wolfenstein The New Order.
Both games run fine with just one card so while I was a bit peeved it didn't detract me from playing those games smoothly maxed out.

Considering how you always drop 1440p, sli 970, max settings or i7 in every single one of your posts it just proves you should be ignored. Sorry, bruh.

Try to brush up on your trolling skills.

You're right about me saying I have 2 970s, but you are wrong when you say because of that someone should ignore my advice about computers.

Go back to trolling other people.
