No downgrade will sting as bad as Dark Souls 2. This wasn't a bullshot. People played the game like this as a demo. Just at some point in development they stripped it bare to the point of looking way worse than even it's predecessor.

Look, I'm actually hyped for the game, but it went through some downgrades. Zero parts of the game will actually end up looking like that initial reveal.

Alright, prepare some semi-shilling.

CDPR pretty much had to downgrade the game.

Otherwise they'd have released something that would run like UTTER garbage on 95% of all systems.

The game already runs like dogshit on consoles at 720p/30/low.

For what we saw in the trailers, you'd have needed SLI'd, OC'd Titan Xs for sub 30fps.


Does it defend the false advertising? Fuck no, it was scummy as hell.

Yes, it was also in the first trailer they showed before the downgrade they made to meet console parity demands for certification.

Hey Thebull94 what's up? We found your CDPR forum account in the other thread.

The downgrade is way worse than you might think. That pic I posted doesn't do it justice, but I couldn't quickly find another one.

>>
>>341965578
Bull you wouldn't have even been able to play it on your PS4 if they didn't downgrade it.
>>
>>341963743
Now is that really downgrading or just touched up bullshots?

I still love the fucking game and nothing you say can change my mind.
>>
>>341965218

To be fair, they showed what the game looked like before it came out. It's not like obfuscated any indication of how it looked before anyone bought it.

I think that's about the best you can do when you realize you aimed higher than the commercial market can handle short of committing PR suicide.

From never released actual footage after downgrading and doesn't get a fraction of the heat and that is actual false advertising.
>>
>>341965779
This.

I question whether the game could ever be in a playable state looking like that.

I mean, even developers only have access to GPUs that we do.

The super expensive cards don't actually run games better, and Witcher 3 sure as fuck isn't optimized for 4-way SLI.

>>
>>341966147
Yeah, Siege could look a lot better. It's weird because its a mix of a lot being changed for balancing issues (helicopter drop in and moving hostage, also the level of destruction was probably too high) but the visuals could still be vastly improved. The game just does not look great. Only the character models really look current gen.

witcher 3 in 6k.

look fine to me.

>>341965779
It's downgrading they wanted to do much more in the technical department but got bogged down because consoles were less powerful than they expected
>>
>>341965398
>It can barely even run 60 fps in high res on SLI 980s as it is.
I haven't played the witcher 3 yet but god damn, just what type of rig do you need to play this game on medium settings?
>>
>>341965957
Downgrading is toning down graphical specifications to meet the requirements of less powerful hardware the game is going to be released on to the detriment of other more powerful hardware that could run the game on much higher settings.

Bullshots is lying through promotional materials about what the game will look like across all platforms to convince the masses to buy it.

Witcher 3 can't be downgrading because the PC versions have settings that allow the graphics to surpass those of the console, which has inferior graphics to the PC version (not trying to start a fucking war here, that is just how it is.)

There is a difference in the terms. The problem is most of /v/ is full of a bunch of idiots who latch on to the first catchphrase that makes them sound cool to make them sound like they know what they are talking about when the criticize a game which in all likelihood they haven't actually played.
>>
>>341964321
Is it technically a downgrade though?

I thought the top pic was just a screenshot from that trailer they released way back which was pretty clearly pre-rendered.

Not saying the bottom pic is remotely acceptable mind you, though I also wouldn't be shocked if the NX version is a way bigger upgrade in comparison.

970-980 if you want medium/high 60.

A 1070 with will get you 60/ultra/1080.

Even SLI'd 1080s can't run 60fps 4k.

Toussaint is geographically as whimsical as the people in it who are constantly drunk and flamboyant. It's really aiming for high fantasy dreamscape and it nails that.
I think it's pretty nice.
>>
>>341967117
The only card that can play it at 50-60fps at 1440p is a 1080.

If you have one, you'd be fine.
But you'd better have an overclocked CPU for the city areas.

Is the witcher 3 poorly optimized or is there a reason why it requires so much resources? Crysis required a ridiculous amount of resources but the game looking amazing for its time.
>>
>>341967641

It's the density of foliage and how much it puts on the screen at one time.

It's actually very well optimized as it does a good job of not wasting resources on things that aren't viewable.

Games like Crysis or Kingdom Come Deliverance do look great within the comparatively small area they work within but if you expanded the fidelity of something like KCD to the size of TW3 we wouldn't have consumer PCs that could run it for probably another 10 years.
>>
>>341967871
This.
Especially the main population hubs in the game.

People are always wondering why cities in games always feel empty or lifeless.

Turns out when you populate a city with enough NPCs and detail to avoid that, you end up need the highest tier GPUs and CPUs to render it.

no. it's constant 60 fps. Maybe in novigrad there's some fps drops.
>>
>>341968972
I'm having serious trouble believing you.
Not only does it pretty much counter to every benchmark, but I've been running at 60 with a card that's nearly twice as powerful.

That's some clear ignorance there friendo.

An overclocked CPU and fast ram actually pays off very well in W3, especially in towns and ESPECIALLY with older CPUs.

Sandy and Ivy Bridge i5s gain nearly 30fps from 2133 and 4.6 vs 1600 and stock clocks.
>>
>>341967641
No, CD Projekt patches the game like a mofo.

It just has great graphics and tons of shit in it.

Downgrade or not, it's still, easily, the best looking open-world game.

For a GTX 970 at 1080p, you need to turn the foliage distance to high instead of Ultra to get 60fps. Turn off Hairworks, also. And you can turn down the shadows to Medium since it hardly makes a visual difference. Everything else can be maxed out. Although, the low sharpening setting looks better than the high setting... some people turn it off.

The asset streaming puts serious strain on the CPU, so you would stand to have a quad-core Intel or better.

List of things that were removed/downgraded:
The mod kit
Subsurface scattering
Forward lit soft particles
Semi volumetric clouds
Bokeh depth of field
Seems like a lot of the PBR they bragged about
Combat camera shake
Convincing and gratuitous pools of blood that 'realistically' floated on water
Subtle lens flares
Tessellated ground
Anamorphic lens flares
Flexible water simulation
Geralt's face was severely downgraded
In-game scenes like the Wild Hunt attacking the town and the introduction to the emperor of Niilfgard were changed to worse effect
Aerial perspective fog
Sign particle intensity was lowered
Many textures in Novigrad were downgraded
Volume based translucency
Many environment models in Novigrad
Interior lighting looks horrendous now
The bloom shader sucks, you can see how it was before in the wild hunt segment
Screen space reflections
The way drowners look was good and is really bad now

The reason anyone gets 60 fps on high settings in w3 is thanks to game being made to run on medium range hardware, or downgraded.

It's ran through several sharpening and contrast filters, to remove the blurriness and fadedness of the original pic, specifically to keep it from looking like the current build which has the same blurriness and fadedness.

And then there's the fact that they just cherrypicked a screen cap from a shitty stream of one of the worst looking areas.
Most other areas aren't as unflattering.

The Zelda downgrade isn't as significant as some make it out to be, but it is noticeable high up because the draw distance for extra things is pretty short on Wii U compared to the extreme draw distance of the original trailer - which was prerendered anyway and not actually indicative of final game graphics since it was mostly a proof of concept trailer.

Gotta realize that the Wii U is still just a slightly more stronger machine from the previous gen. Maybe the NX version will have more detail and better draw distance, but few games from the last generation could have both of those things and prey to stay consistent.

That's the thing, The original trailer is on the ground, all the "downgrade" pics are taken from up high.
If you took a screenshot from the ground, there'd be as much as grass as there is in the original.
>compared to the extreme draw distance of the original trailer
It's not that extreme. You can see where the grass ends by the well on the right of the image.
There were areas that had that much grass in the game awards 2015 presentation, the areas they showed in the E3 demos are different areas that don't have such tall grass so it's not really comparable.

You are putting words in my mouth, bucko.

>>341973016
Watch_Dogs was false advertising because they paraded the game as being real-time and an example of next-gen hardware. People have been bitching about the new Zelda's graphics ever since it was revealed it wouldn't be like the Twilight Princess-based tech demo, despite the fact that an entire game like Breath of the Wild with graphics like that would look even worse than what we have now.

It's not false advertising, since it never pretended to be real-time. We saw the footage off of that TV when Miyamoto was playing that year, and the game was nowhere near as developed as the trailer itself - and no one really complained about it then, instead waiting anxiously for the next bit of the new Zelda to come out. No one's falsely advertised here, especially since the new trailer represents the game fairly accurately and as what it shall be.

Learn to express yourself properly then, you numb nut. Your "admit it" was clearly referencing "zelda is not visually impressive". That's how sentences work.

>>
>>341973518
Not the person you're responding to, but stylistically, yes.
There's a reason why Wind Waker aged better than Twilight Princess, and while some things like the cliffs/mountains will look ugly as sin because of their blown-up textures that you get to see up-close while climbing them, an art style in general can improve a game's visual spectacle significantly as well as potentially give it a more graceful aging period.

People here need to learn to distinguish between a downgrade and false advertising. Nearly every game ever has been downgraded. Fact is, it's easier to build higher and downscale than to aim for the consumer hardware capable build.

The real problem is false advertising, or bullshots. Showing only the developer version running on workbench PCs and never showing what the game actually looks like before releasing.(Dark Souls 2/Watch Dogs.)

If the developer has material available to show you what the game looks like before you buy it and you don't like it then don't buy it. Feel free to disparage the graphics, but don't pretend that the developer in some say tried to cheat you like From and Ubisoft did.

Dark Souls 2 counts under false advertising, but it's a different case because it wasn't bullshots. There was a stress test beta of sorts before the game came out, which had the full lighting and everything from the game's trailers. However, Bandai Namco stripped out almost every ounce of that lighting with no warning, no statement, nothing at all before the game came out, claiming it was to stabilize the inconsistent framerate for a better play experience. Incidentally, it mostly rendered the much-advertised Torch useless except for select areas, since everything but the darkest of areas had a dull gray hue that was ambient and bright enough to see in anyway.

I played the demo at comicon where you win a shirt beating the Mirror Knight. Beat him fast so I got to explore around afterwards, they just let me. The layout is what got me mostly like in the fallen giants when you go down the ladder towards trunk tower outside you have that really dark alley leading to the bastard sword. That was the hallway leading to Mirror knight in the demo and when fighting him there was no music just the storm and rain, it was atmospheric as fuck. Exploring after the fight though it was quite a big demo with mixtures of every area in the final game near enough. Lighting was perfect and it held a stable frame rate during the boss. I have no idea why they dropped it so badly it could have been perfect.

Most Reshades are about as much of a mod as changing the RGB settings of your color balance.

The Witcher has a lot of different color balance tweaks but this is a pretty far cry from how people have to rebuild Skyrim from the ground up to make it playable.

The only way I can make sense of it is they couldn't get it to work on one of the consoles or they ran out of time but still had to design a bunch of areas with less polish.

Heart of Stones has a 10/10 story but it's very short. Blood and Wine feels more like an extra Novigrad-sized chunk of the base game, but with somewhat higher quality overall. Not quite as good as HoS but a lot longer.

They had to restart development half-way through for several reasons, the big ones being the performance was fucking garbage on consoles, and the story was sorta nuts. The first of which wouldn't be a problem if FROM knew half a thing about fucking optimisation.
>>
>>341977219

Calm down spergie.

Nearly every game gets downscaled because its easier to aim higher than needed than lower, the real problem is false advertising by not showing what the game looks like before it comes out, which CDPR didn't do but Ubisoft and FromSoft are notorious for.

Its because the games are first made on a PC. The E3 demo's aren't actually being played. Just because someone is on stage with a controller in their hand, doesn't mean they are playing it.
They are using a PC to render a video of the in game graphics, so it doesn't even have to be run, and can look as amazing as they want.
When it comes time to release it, people are playing on the actual version, and of course it doesn't look as amazing as their video where they cranked everything up and made that one area look amazing because they only had to show it once.

the R9 480 is going to be a decent card. Might be somewhere inbetween the 390 and 390x. Or it might be a little bit weaker than the 390. Its got a good price at $200.
For a reference the 390 can do 4k at around medium/high settings pretty decently.
Nvidia has some new cards coming out at the end of the month, which will be a lot more expensive, but a lot more powerful.
Prices on cards are going down soon, because a whole new line is coming out at the end of the month. So just keep your ear to the ground.
And most importantly, wait for the benchmarks.

Then the 480 might be your best bet. We don't know exactly how powerful it is, because no real benchmarks, but its either slightly above or below the 390. At the moment the 390 is a pretty top tier card, and can play anything at maximum settings at 1080p.
The 480 might be better at rendering a lower resolution, but we just aren't sure.
The price is also way too good for a card that can perfrom that well.
For an exampe, the 390 is currently going for about $400 US
the 390 would be half the price and possibly the same, or better performance.
I'm a bit biased towards AMD, because NVIDIA has been caught lying about their card specs, and has been caught intentionally downgrading their card with drivers when a line comes out, so you'll buy the newer generation. They have the more powerful cards, but AMD has the better price performance.

Far cry 3 wasn't downgraded. The release looks better.

How is Regis alive? I haven't played Blood&Wine yet, but didn't he get fucking rekt in the final book when that wizard melted him into a puddle of goo?

>>341985631
I feel you man. Same with Intel.

I hope AMD can step their game up because I really hate the current situation.

Why are witcherfags trying to deny the downgrade?
Soulsfag admit the downgrade from dark souls 2, what was quite sad. The downgrade on The Witcher 3 is not as bad, but's still quite visible.
>>
>>341986324
Oh man, I guess the company would never lie, right? If that were the case, we should believe all trailers.


Listen, thats a trailer, its cut and mashed up, it isn't a video of someone playing at that moment.
When they actually played the demo, it looked like shit compared to that trailer. Why would you think that is?
Stop being so delusional.

People need to understand that the reason why they downgrade games. The first time you show off a game, off course you're going to make it look as good as you can. You need a good first impression. But when you make it playable for the public, you have to start worrying about optimization and getting the game to run smoothly, and sometimes that means cutting back. Plus, not everyone has a powerful top-of-the-line gaming PC, so they have to make the game playable for most people's computers. Consoles have little to do with it.

>Hey, Mr. Developer, not everyone can play this game at these high settings, what should we do?

>I have the greatest idea, instead of actually making the game look like the trailer for those few who invest into their hobby, we should instead make the game look worse, and make that the highest graphical setting! Why should we leave that in the game, and instead lower graphic settings for users to fine-tune their experience!

I can tell you didn't even watch it. It looks the same as the trailer.

I still dont understand what happened and why it got downgraded so much.

you seem butthurt

>>341987573
Except I did wash it. The colours are more washed out, theres noticeably a lot more fog in the distance, and way jaggier.

>>341987669
I skimmed through it, retard. I don't have to watch every last minute of it. I skipped ahead, watched about 10 seconds, skipped ahead, did the same, and I finished when I went through most of the video.

Dark Souls 2 development had a lot of issues. The project lead basically got booted from the project, and DS2 was cancled internally until they got a new lead. By then, they had a critically short window to piece together a decent enough game for release.

All the DLC was planned to be in-game, but had to be lopped off and finished up and repacked as DLC.

Ubisoft are the masters of bullshots.

Watch_Dogs is what comes to mind immediately for me. Reveals and promo vids / screens versus retail, it's almost like an entirely different game was released.
>>
>>341976570
>game barely runs
STOP RIGHT THERE
Even if the game didn't run well at ULTRA you could reduce the settings to get it running well. Then in a few years if you feel like replaying it you might have new hardware & can finally run it full power.

There is NEVER a reason to downgrade PC games.

Different camera. The guy filming the booth trailer was in low light and the camera adjusted.

Objectively false.
>and way jaggier.
Are you retarded? The camera filming the booth trailer is blurry as fuck, that's why there's no jaggies.

Water in W3 has actual waves.

your bottleneck is your CPU. Don't believe the "2500/2600k will last forever" meme. Witcher 3 is very well optimized and will use whatever resources you throw at it.
