I'm in the mood for a good FPS - so I should give this a try?

hmm is Witcher 3 okay to play without having completed Witcher 1 or 2?
Was the original any good?

Looks like its paying homage to 2007 with those visuals.
Here are some great examples of games with textures created for 720p or less.
Unless you think all of the above look the same quality as their on console counterparts, I'm sure you can see the huge benefits of simply rendering at 4K.

Well they weren't the ones that ported DP to PC so this is really their first shot at it.

It was... interesting. A mixture of action and real time tactics, set in the Hundred Years War. Graphically it was a mixed bag, I'd say, but the gameplay was good (though it did get repetitive with time)
I'm gonna wait until this one is 75% or so though, 60 dollars is too much.

The leap from 720 to 1080p isn't as significant a leap as 1080p to 4k (4096x2160), but whatever.
It's odd they didn't launch it with a small discount btw.
All the examples I posted were rendered at at least 4K, except for Viva Pinata.

It's odd that they launched it for 60 dollars when it's an unknown IP on PC. I'll never understand some publishers

$30 with a 10-15% discount on launch would have done better. #DefinitiveFlop
Heh.
Graphics: 1980*1080 pixel over, True Color, 16:9 display
That's not how you write system specs for a game.
i have no use for 1980 pixels
1980 pixels aren't that different than 2015 pixels bro
Rendering the games at higher resolutions gives those textures more clarity (especially for games that didn't have great texture filtering on consoles), but it also highlights how low quality some of those textures are.

this is still fuckin crazy to me
"But default is the original artistic vision!!!"
to be fair tho I think no single person ever said that in this case
I've met people like that tho.
Definitely, but rendering at 4K has huge benefits aside from simply texture clarity. Lower quality textures aren't going to look miraculous at 4K, but all other benefits of 4K compounded are still going to make a pretty profound difference.
One huge benefit that people don't mention enough and that screenshots can't show the benfit of is stability in motion. At higher resolutions, stuff like shimmer on fences, or wavy foliage is much less noticeable and distracting and things like trees blowing in the wind look much more convincing and impressive.

bring on the 80GB games

depends on what you mean
we already there
Wolfenstein TNO/OB used megatextures. 40gb
Doom gonna use em too
funny how no one even mentioned the fact since people saw Rage (nother fantastic game with people in denial) and went "this tech sucks!"
yea edited my post clarifying
jim2point0 from the PC screenshot thread has a great example showing how much megatextures in IDTech games benefit from high res rendering as well.

Look how much better that is.

Yeah, wonder if we're gonna see 2 disc games on consoles when that happens.
The sidequests are some of the most interesting I've seen in an RPG. Just... they each have their own interesting stories and characters. Not like "hey, go kill 7 and a half wolves and bring me their pelts" or anything.
I mean, certain sidequests wouldn't be out of place as main quests. In this game or others.
noice
38 hours in myself, but I can see how you get to 50 hours in, lots of side content in Velen left unexplored for me.
The Witcher contracts and the side quest are fun in that although they're formulaic in a sense, the amount of effort they put in the backstory accompanying them is great to see.

That reminds me, Standpoint is $1 for another 24 hours on IGS. Apparently the publisher did this behind the devs back so should I/we/people in general buy now in case the whole relationship ends badly and no more steam?

The feeling when you have a 4K TV but can't actually run any games at the resolution
I hear it taunting me, knowing it could show me the world ;-;

Xenoblade 3DS is kind of cute, although I still didn't spend more than an hour with it due to the dolphin version being 10000000000 times better. Sometimes portability isn't enough.
Would like to see Witcher 3 graphics at a similar level for fun.

i'm going to bookmark that for when my friend tell me human eyeballs can't see above 1080p as much as the jump from 900p to 1080p.
hmm alright

sort of a rant, i guess:
i think i really have a problem with spoilers... i mean, on games with multiple endings. I always try to get the best ending, and end up not resisting reading stuff to know what choices i should do. case in point: basically just read Witcher 3 ending. well, at least what the decisions do/affect... and i really hate that about myself. Worst of all, it wasn't even necessary. i mean, i wanted to know how a specific quest would affect stuff.
it's not like i'm feeling "oh, now i cant enjoy the game anymore", but i would've liked to experience it first hand.
So... do any of you guys have similar problems?
