Yeah, popped up in one of my pictures, too. I thought it was pretty neat. No idea about it at all beyond that, though.

NPCs are definitely the most disappointing thing about this game aesthetically. They look like they were plucked right our from a late PS3/360 FPS game when compared to the main cast. Very bland looking.
Same. I have no idea, he's not even mentioned in the guide as far as I can see.

Honestly, I don't have a huge problem with the blurred look. Better that than jaggy. It could be improved, sure, but I don't think it takes away from the visuals too significantly.
This looks pretty darn good for a direct capture
VS (PC shot)
Fair enough. I think Witcher 3 is one of the most visually overrated games of the last 10 years. I don't think it looks really all that good at all. XV decimates it in my book. W3 has zero sense of scale, horrible grass textures everywhere, inferior lighting, mediocre animation and an overall jerky appearance. It can look decent enough on a beefy PC, I suppose, but the console versions are simply awful.
We are on totally different ends of the spectrum here. Better for you with regards too FF15 as you can obviously look past things that i find jarring. Still find the game fun, looks arent everything in the end.

Nah, the last half is Xenogears Disc 2. Except less interesting. It's really bizarre how fast this game falls apart.
Witcher 3 doesn't even come close to what FFXV does in sense of scale. It's just not possible in the first place due to the very nature of the world, there are no vistas as large as the ones you frequently come across in FFXV like the disc in Duscae region or creatures as large as Titans and summons. Going from one place to another feels like a real drive despite the fact that Witcher 3's world is big too. Then there's the fact that buildings look off respective to the size of characters...basically fucked up scale.
As for tech FFXV's lighting is also miles ahead of Witcher 3 it's basically among the best out there open world or not, plus it also has one of the most elaborate particle effect system in any game I've seen. Not to mention it can also do a larger number of NPC than Witcher 3.

Good to hear.
lol. Nothing can be worse than Fei and Elly sitting in a chair narrating hours of scenes to you.
Those shots, though. Witcher looks so simplistic in comparison. Look at that!
That's how I'm looking at it. I'm glad the combat is fun enough. It doesn't have much else going for it for me, personally.
I would've preferred this tbh
I agree with this. Witcher 3 is a good looking game, but there were very very few points where I said "wow", mostly because the sense of scale is so off. FFXV looks insane at times.
I dont really see it on the PRO but I think the patch will help with other stuff also,even on 1080p sets,especially on the high resolution settings...and about the tutorial thing I think the person here that mentionned the frame pacing only if you do the tutorial meant,its ok after not that it stays the whole game lol...
Hopefully the patch hits in 2 weeks.

Ok GAF. CH5 spoilers.
How do I summon Titan? I summoned Ramuh multiple time already thanks to my Chocobo dancing at me and not seen Titan once.

Even the animation isn't that great to be honest. The animations in combat and running around the world look great, but the standard conversations between other characters look very stilted and jerky. A lot of bad lip syncing and dead faced expressions. It feels inconsistent.
Still not sure. They just randomly appear. I've only had him appear once in my 60+ hours of playtime.
How's the Framepacing on the PS4 Slim? Has there been any talk of it being fixed and has square even awknowledged it? I got the game on sale from the Microsoft store for xbox one and have been playing that, it is blurry, but smooth. I just picked up my deluxe edition for PS4 at Gamestop that I originally preordered. Can't decide if I should continue to play on xbox and return the PS4 copy or if I should just open the PS4 version. If I had a Pro the answer would be easy as I'd obviously play on that.

Quick question-how do I access any of this DLC
Super curious to know what the camera kit does.
Super curious to know what the camera kit does.
Scale for what? You talking creatures? Sure. I was pretty impressed with lighting at certain points in Witcher, haven't been so far here, but I have plenty to play yet. Particle effects are definitely better in this game. We'll see as I get deeper, but it didn't take long at all for Wicther 3 to make me want to start taking screen shots. This game? Haven't felt compelled once yet. Hope it changes.
Not sure I've ever disagreed with a subjective opinion more. Absolutely amazing how we can all see and focus on different things. Really want to go find my thumb drive to post some FFXV screenshots now... they're not good.
Textures are the bedrock of a games visuals, and FFXV has terrible textures. No amount of impressive lighting can cover that.

Can anyone playing the French localization tell me if Cidney's name is kept as Cidney or not? Also, what's your general opinion on the localization?

he didnt say it was a good one.
Near as I can tell, it's just a blue filter you have to start off. So, nothing. But I could be wrong. I could only find one place to change anything to do with the camera, and this was before I leveled up to get the normal filters. There were two cameras to pick from. One was normal and the other had a blue tint.

I think there's a reason why a lot of open-world games (AC: Syndicate, GTAV, Watch Dogs) go for densely packed cities.
At least so far, the opening section has an issue that the world feels devoid of life or purpose to me. Trekking a mile or two across the landscape is not particularly fun or interesting. In fact, I think the traversal actively hampers my enjoyment right now.
I'd love to see a postmortem of the map down the road that compares the map density of points of interest and locations in XV to other open word games. For better or worse, it feels like you runs across more interesting stuff at a more rapid pace in some other open word games. I get that they're trying to give a sense of scale to the map, but I don't know that it works from a functional game design perspective.
The biggest offender of the open world so far though to me is the lack of compelling content (like I said, making the world seem pointless) particularly in sidequests. I haven't yet come across anything worth doing really, and from the sounds of it, there aren't too many later on either. You have a massive world, use it.

Dude, give it up already- your are trying way to hard,
not to mention the comparison wouldn't be fair, W3 came out a while back.
Edit: Someone needs to let you play the pro version honestly.
I have a couple of Chapter 9 questions:
1)
2)
Thanks
1)
What's this Umbra ability to go to the 'past'? Does it mean go back to the previous continent to do side-quests etc or something else? I'm kind of worried if I should do it now or not
2)
So as soon as I arrive pretty much in Altissia I get the quest to meet that lady and at the door it says "Once you start this quest you can't return to the city", like what the hell I only just got here. Is that true or should I just ignore that quest for a while? (Or is there not much to do in Altissia anyways).
Thanks

They should have kept it that way then, that would have been much better than slotting in silent, out of context footage from a film. Or hell, they could've done what they used to do in ye olde days and have some kind of cutscene made for the game either using in-game models or CGI.
Anyway, outside of the so far terrible use of CGI cutscenes, I'm liking the game. about 5 hours in, just finished the first chapter and around level 10-11. I like exploring, though the driving isn't what I expected. I mean, it fits better than being able to GTA my way around the world and is probably the right implementation in a story driven open world where you pay as good guys, but I still feel it's kind of slower than I'd hoped.
The number of people buying open world games (keeping in mind there's a lot of different things that people call 'open world') greatly dwarfs the number of people keen on buying a PS360-era design JRPG.
I have read that the French voice acting is great and localisation as well...can you just switch to French without restarting the game...? I will try it tonight.

I thought the witcher 3 was amazing graphically, it constantly wowed me throughout.
FF15 doesnt look as good to me even with the pro patch. Watch Dogs 2, Tomb Raider, Titanfall etc look so sharp, clean and crisp, and this isnt in the same league. Im not even sure why you are trying to prove this point really, Im happy for you that you think its great.
I basically replied to you and said how you're wrong that FFXV is "only" better in animation and you agreed to the things I mentioned but still disregard them. There is absolutely nothing in Witcher 3 that can match up to the scale of objects, distance (from one place to another really feeling like that distance). The entire Duscae region just makes this argument moot since you won't find any area in Witcher 3 like that.
I also simply cannot see how you can be pretty impressed with Witcher 3's lighting but "haven't been so far" in FFXV when FFXV's lighting is objectively more advanced in every way you can think of..from GI to the way PBR is implemented.

This. I played TW3 on OG PS4, I was just absolutely amazed by the world so many times. The way the world is crafted is second to none, graphical fidelity aside. The artistic direction on such a massive scale in TW3 is something the likes of which I have never seen before. FFXV has looked great but I just don't know if I can compare it. I don't know if I want to. The Witcher 3 world is so fully realized it is scary to me how much painstaking detail is in every nook and cranny.

I have no idea if the localization can be switched in-game. Many games force the player to change the language of the console to get a different localization. It's lazy, but oh well.
They shouldn't care, but the side content is fun because the surrounding systems are fun enough to support it.
Also you often get little bits of story/character revealed wile you explore
It's very fun to do side quests in this game, even if the same style of quest design isn't enjoyable in other games.

At least Witcher 3 has interiors in the buildings. FF XV city is just a very nice looking shell, but hollow.

To be fair the console versions of W3 which he's talking about are not good either. IQ isn't great and the framerate, especially in Novigrad is horrendous. Both games are punching above the weight of the consoles, but FFXV has the luxury of a more stable framerate via the Pro. W3 on PC on the other hand isn't ugly but it's also no longer spectacular. W2 was much more impressive for the time it launched if we're just talking visuals.
Honestly now, anyone know how to get to that waterfall?
I played on PS4 (don't have a gaming PC) and thought TW3 was spectacular. Granted I first played it some time ago and standards change. When you'd enter a building on a rainy night in the Witcher, and see through the shimmering glass the people passing by outside... come on. It was amazing.
What on earth are you talking about?

...Movement in Green is from FFX D:
edit: nevermind, just understood what you meant when I remembered the Dissidia version.
