Yeah probably. But I think the game will look just fine on consoles too.

I hope that's true. I'm really stoked to see more...that little tease this weekend was brutal!

It is baked.

Baked. It switches times of day and weather for mission segments. There's some elements that are dynamic to give it a sense of time passing so as long as you have a reasonable pace with missions, the changing weather, clouds, colors, and fog should give many the sense that the time is not stopped. Looks fantastic as a result.
Kinda makes me wish more games would do baked if it can amp them up to Unity looks a bit more. I don't find the lack of a dynamic cycle in Unity very noticeable, but I've only been playing campaign so far.
That's a lot of qualifiers now dawg
I think MGSV looks better.
Please elaborate this, because I'm not seeing this "clear" difference as the game is still using the same IBL (mapping quality doesn't seem to have been affected), PBR materials (texture resolution seems to be more or less the same, though they have undergone scene balancing no doubt). Shadows are more or less the same; no clear difference in resolution, there's still some sort of penumbra, the foliage is still affected by shadows and characters have self-shadowing. So please, tell me how the lighting and shadows are lower quality.
I don't agree. TEWI is again excellent evidence here because not only does the game play better without the abomination of black bars, but also none of the "filmic feel" is lost when the black bars are removed. And that's good news for the 99% of us that have standard aspect ratio displays and don't want our real estate wasted for nonsensical reasons. Make it an option, and we all get what we want, end of story, period. Anyway, luckily Prosjekt CD isn't a pretentious diva thus The Witcher 3 doesn't have locked black bars.
Anyway, I kinda like the look and feel of those Kingdom Come picture more.. The colors in TW3 is a little off in comparison.
The open world nature of the game is exactly the reason that I'd suspect a GTX670-equipped PC would have the edge, assuming a half decent CPU(the important part).

I know. My answer just serves to restate what lots of people seem to be missing/confused about.

I'm hoping a 3770k+7970 Ghz can handle this decent enough.. I'm hoping for 60fps on Med-High (rather lower the settings for smoothness).
Is that the same chick?
More importantly, why does she have a beard?

You are wrong.
He actually does describe how people are dressed in the books, of course not only prostitutes. The character of Jaskier also goes in full descriptions about some of the women.
And really, showing some cleavage and the legs are something a prostitute wouldn't do during a similar real era? How the fuck are their going to sell their services if not? Some would probably even show their bare tits in the open, im sure of that.
Its all about them ankles
Those are supersampled to hell and back, it won't look anywhere near that quality for most PC folks and specially not on consoles.
It looks good, but honestly not that good, specially the characters..they look very plastic, specially after seeing skin shaders from the likes of Infamous SS and Assassin's creed. It doesn't look nearly as good as the first trailers they showed unfortunately.
I'm sure it will still be a great game though, just not the visual benchmark that many were expecting it to be. The Witcher 2 was much more impressive when it came out.

It may but it doesn't look very much like any of the poster childs for PBR this gen. As in The Order, Unity, MGS5.
How is this even a fair comparison?

Ah, must have changed it a few minutes ago then. Funny scene with Geralt being washed by three different ladies.
Perhaps in performance consistency but not visual fidelity. When someone specifically mentions their GPU and follows that with "good settings" it can be inferred that they're talking about graphics.
for sure. it's as open world as it gets.
I recommend playing the previous games or at least watching them before playing though.
I would imagine the story will make little to no sense if you don't know what's going on.
CD Projekt Red really cater for the hardcore fans of the franchise.

Not sure what I expected it looks nice but for some odd reason I am expecting something more...
Do we know if these are PC shots?

Assuming this is running on a powerful PC, I'm really getting worried about the console versions.

The flatness is real. Damn.
Plus, the characters in shadows have this black halo like in FC3.
Slightly disappointed.
Edit: hopefully this is because of my shitty screen at work. Will need to watch again at home.

I'd imagine so. Some of those who prefer to play multiplatform games on consoles find the use of PC versions in marketing materials to be somewhat disingenuous, which I can understand, but you can't exactly blame the developer/publisher for wanting their projects to be showcased with all the bells and whistles dialled up to 11.
They're related, though. If your CPU affords you more headroom on performance, you can crank the visuals higher.
Only thing a PS4 might be able to do better is have slightly better textures. Otherwise, I don't know why you suddenly expect a PS4 to start beating a GTX670 in this game when it hasn't in any game yet.
Most definitely, in fact these images look supersampled.
Quick way to check is look at objects in the distance. Generally draw distance, lod, and af are always significantly lower on consoles. If the game looks good at all distances, then it is likely a PC screenshot.
Beyond that, the AA is phenomenal in the shots, I was having trouble finding an edge that was aliased, but that is likely due to a solid as solution as much as the supersampling.

Looks awesome Dennis. I'm looking to playing this with all the bells and whistles at 1080P and super smooth 30fps.
On my PS4.

An open world Witcher 2. My dreams have come true. My life is over in May.
The world is stunning.

Of an open world game?
Then yes I agree.
