I dunno, with Creation Kit, max thing we'll get is new textures and foliage, they'll most likley make it look better than the console version but it'll not make the game look like the pre-downgrade (2013 version).

So good of them to include the "framerate" and "resolution" features. They really went the extra mile.

Maybe I remember too fondly but Witcher 1 had good mods that transformed the game, this was a while back though.
Witcher 2 modding was a non-event but I'm optimistic W3 will get more attention for being open world carrying lots of detail.
An awesome feature of PC not yet said by CDPR is if you're running 32-37fps you can cap it to 30 unlike XBO at this moment. Think about that while you delete your newegg parts list.

No point really in comparing tiny little print screens taken from a heavily compressed stream of the game in which we aren't even seeing HBAO on.
When the game comes out on PC, we'll see some proper direct comparisons.
They're using 1.02. The launch patch was going to be 1.01, so I guess there's another patch now.
Why do PC and PS4 look exactly the same?
There is a group within the downgrade crowd that is very hostile and the reason why there threads got closed on the cdpr forums. There is talking about it and presenting evidence and then there is running into a thread calling cdpr liars and all who don't comply imbeciles and retards.
Howl do you expect to determine that from a screenshot of a twitch stream? There are a few things that you can see. Grass quality isn't one of them
i can't believe a company such as CDPR has this as their features for PC.

Don't worry guys, I'm sure Cyberpunk 2077 will meet the teaser trailer.

They "gave" us 60fps, we should be thankful! It's amusing how they just talk around the issue. I doubt they want to come out and admit the game was downgraded just before release.

Good optimization with a focus on platform parity.

well they werent lying, ultra settings are certainly a slap in the face
There is always

Dude, look at the ground. The geometry is still simplified on the PC version. The official screenshot shows more rocks. Then there is the grass right behind Vesemir (?) which has been changed to the ugly variant.
We aren't comparing textures here. Unless you are assuming that a direct-feed screenshot will somehow change the lighting and magically add more rocks on ground, and change the look of grass.
Guess I'm buying the PS4 version. That's kind of sad considering I have a 670, which SHOULD be able to push better graphical effects than a PS4...

It should also push a better framerate, I would wait until the game comes out before making a decision.

It pushes more frames per second. Just a teensy wee detail you might consider.

You should still at least get a better framerate with the 670.
'Tis awful. If there's anything I hope mods change first, it's the grass. And I don't think anyone on PC believes they couldn't make that a teensy bit better.

Guess nobody just really doesn't give a shit about any of this but me. Does the game look really good.. Yes... Is the game fun? Yes...thats enough for me.
I'm as confused as you are. My 780 Ti apparently will push Ultra 1080p without the Nvidia stuff (which is basically the PS4 version but at something closer to 60fps). I thought my GPU was... Well... More powerful than that. Apparently not!

How do you know this?
Yeah. CDPR will surely reach offline rendering quality for a videogame by using pre-rendered backgrounds.
No, you're right, there are more rocks, the grass is sort of weird as the shadow positions are very different.

No worries, this thread is full of people like me who are going to play the shit out of this game regardless of the downgrade.
It's just sad that the game doesn't look as good as it could to accompany the great gameplay.

I've got a 770 and buying the PC version I thought I'd be able to push a higher gfx fidelity but with 30fps (I use my tv and ps4 controller) and now I should of just bought the bloody ps4 version.
I almost went out and bought a 970 last week too. Kinda glad I didn't bother tbf!

We get better resolution, framerate, Nvidia exclusive effects, mod support, apparently at least slightly wider draw distance, but other than that what else?
I am joking, don't jump me

Why wouldn't they? Resolution aside (because the PC is horribly compressed Twitch stuff) it's a cutscene. What exactly do you expect to see in the PC version there that couldn't be done on PS4?
I'm assuming the only answer you'd accept is "i pulled it from my ass"? Look at the PS4 - PC comparison. I know it's hard to accept but there's barely any difference.
Probably not a solid 60 FPS, so I'd probably just lock it down to 30 anyway. Just like PS4 will most likely be.
I don't expect COMPLETE console parity from a PC developer. I was hoping at least the lighting would be better or something. Nope!

Well clearly some rocks on the ground and decent looking grass are beyond the capabilities of the PS4.
A lot actually. Especially coming from a PC dev like CDPR. They could do a lot more with the lighting, shadows and texture considering the GPU and CPU in the PS4 aren't great.
Am I the only one ?
No, you're not. But that screenshot is from back in January?

I was thinking more along the lines of 'I don't actually know because I don't have a proper means of comparing yet'.
From what I saw of the stream you're using to compare doesn't even have HBAO enabled.

Indeed. One thing that strikes me with the game is lack of tesselation. I know bugger all about graphics but all the textures in the game look so flat.
I watched the german stream and I noticed it there.Apparently they have the day one Patch installed EDIT: They said they do not have it. Sorry for misinformation. The Gras looked a lot finer in that section, compression aside.
It *wouldn't* be the first time. Skyrim for PC had the Ultra textures as a separate download

Does the PS4 version run at a solid 30?

Even a shot from December looks better. Would like to see some PC screenshots instead of that awful stream.

It's the slap in the face CDPR told us to expect from PC Ultra.
Probably not. CDPR mentioned something about a day one patch to improve performance but I imagine they're credibility is a bit suspect at the moment.
yeah that was just just hilarious, CDPR could've showed us a "proper ultra" footage but nope they didn't bother. and most likely they are just buying time till the release of the game (so people blindly buy it) then they will ignore everyone.

Good luck waiting for an ENB for this game, because that's never going to happen.

I don't know what I expected all that time when CDPr mentioned they weren't showing off Ultra footage. But it certainly wasn't this...
