CDPR's openness is great. Love it.
SSD can provide improvements to texture streaming and little things in certain cases.
And graphics settings in "high". "Ultra" is not yet able to run on a 980.
The picture wouldn't tell you anything regardless. You're viewing a photo, of off screen footage, of three platforms showing different positions/scenes, and with the tvs in different directions. No one is telling shit from that other than the people who were actually there
I dont think the animation is all that bad.. I did notice however in the first video, as i was staring as Geralt's feet.. his legs and cloak have a weird super-imposed feel to it.. like he's running on a green screen and the back ground is added.. a light floating feel..
Anyone else see this?

SO PC version has had Geralt replaced with sand.....Oh my God Downgradeaton...!!
We've gone from Next Gen fish AI to Next Gen sand AI within 1 1/2 years.

Black crush in XB1 version? Or maybe different lighting conditions?
Their first mistake was they weren't using Bravia's
Yeah, that might tweak that out as they go perhaps, no idea. I used to like that water / ocean scene in the original trailers, and the final version looks fairly meh by comparison. Still good, sure, but I would have liked that super crisp and fluid, dynamic moving water in the ocean
This is impressive for PC.
i still have faith that the PC version maxed out will be this, please CDPRed.
I've suspected for a while that much of what we've been shown has not been with all the bells and whistles. I wouldn't be surprised if we got some POM and some DoF(for cutscenes at least) still in the final build, along with maybe some higher setting presets.
True enough but that does not make me change my mind. It should but it does not. I'm not an "animation ayatollah" but this sticks like a sore thumb. Everything looks great for a game of that scale but each time the characters move the game takes a hit visually.
Ultra settings are usually polished at the very end of the development cycle so it's not surprising. A 980 will not have an easy time maxing this game.
That is true but in my experience that's very subtle. I don't notice much difference between one of my three SSD and my WD Black 7200RPM.

Noice stuff. Some Tree Pop-In I noticed:
Meh, no footsteps in the snow :/
PC version is downgraded so much they had to make it an RTS instead to hide all the ugly models.

Does that means just not enabled? Or the 980 and the i7 is not enough to run it on ultra?

Thanks for this, some good details in those impressions. Love that swimming and tracking seems to be playing a role in missions. Interesting that the content isn't gated like Witcher 2 was with certain areas if you followed certain people but some things seem to change so much that you'd rather stick to that path than reload a previous save.

That is he maxed out PC version in the OP...
Still, would like to see that exact area for a better comparison. But it seems the game was indeed downgraded.
Still looks fucking fantastic though.

Well, my 770+i5 4690K wouldn't be able to run it on Ultra anyway, so give me the game already CDPR, I don't mind.
They're still optimizing it. They weren't allowed to use Ultra yet.
Wow, so the PC version of TW3 is Zelda U?

Doesn't look too hot for PC. RIP console versions.

I used google translate so I am not sure, but does it say PS4 version look better than Xbox One, and that PS4 version runs on 1080P/30fps? Anyone who speaks German?

This is interesting. Would explain why it doesn't look as good as the trailers and stuff which I guess they used a beast PC to record gameplay. Game probably isn't in a stable enough state for ultra right now.
Could be wrong of course!
Edit: Beaten into oblivion
Seriously? Damn. Here I was reminding myself this was pc and not get my hopes up and wishing we'd get console footage so I could know more what to expect.

With a dynamic lighting system and a huge open world, it's hard to be conclusive about downgrades, but I do find it a bit strange that the footage in the trailer at the end of the video looks better than all of the new gameplay. And I'm talking about the gameplay bits of the trailer, not the cutscenes, which naturally look better with DOF, unique animations and camera angles. Perhaps those bits were just cherry-picked for the trailer, and maybe had some colour grading or other post process work done to them. There's certainly a lot more motion blur in the trailer.
Video in the OP is from the PC version.
PS4 version looks better than the Xbox One. Textures blurrier on PS4 compared to PC on high textures when viewed at TV viewing distance, but not significantly noticeable. 1080p but only 30fps on PS4, did not bother them playing at 30fps
