The Witcher 3 PS4 gameplay

Aggressive occlusion culling. Devs of Witcher showcased it before, and said that this is the crucial way how they managed to optimize game to run so well

In the perfect world, user should never be aware that this is happening [only invisible objects are removed], but bugs in this system could wreck real chaos really fast. :D

I'd happily take a very, very slightly distracting on-screen effect if it means they can make the game run and look as well as it clearly does.
 
Looks great. Lovely visuals, seems to be a fairly solid framerate.

Looking forward to just exploring and looking at all the stuff I saw in those videos that the player ran right past. Will pick it up on PS4 at the end of the month.

Although, did anyone else have to watch with the commentary off on the UK video? Such witless discussion from Hollie and Rob including many insightful (paraphrased) gems, for example:

"I'm a MASSIVE fantasy geek....never played any of the Witcher games before"
"Here we see the combat...it doesn't look like your slow traditional turn based RPG combat"
"You can even go swimming which is kind of incredible when you think how much the game has to do to let you walk into a river"
"We're riding the horse now"



Off.
 
I'm in Denmark so dunno how that will work here...

Work what and how?

United Kingdom, Sweden, The Netherlands, Iceland, Ireland, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Portugal
Text: Russian/Czech/Hungarian/English/Polish
VO: English/Russian/Polish
Print: English+Quickstart Swedish/Finnish/Dutch/Portuguese

That is package that copies in Denmark are getting.

Any quick and dirty comparisons between all three versions?

I would wait for XBO footage to be released as latest is from year ago and comparing compressed tosh quality youtube videos won't get you anywhere. Just meaningless pickering over compressed effects.
 
Surely the Xbox sites are gonna put up Xbox One footage also, right? Right? Would seem real shady if the playstation sites put up footage but we saw jack of the One version before launch.
 
Like 3 people in this thread already confirmed it is. Are they all wrong?

If they are talking about this gif, which is the one he was referring to:

Yes they are all wrong.

Not necessarily shady.


Common really.


Dice, Bethesda, Rockstar, etc all do similar things all the time.
 
Watching the Polish footage now. Such nice foliage density and runs so smooth. I know it's mainly because of Youtube, but it looks like all of the PC footage we have seen. They knocked it out of the park.

Sweet!

Really happy I will be able to play in Polish.

Last time I did that was

Just watched the Playstation Poland video. The compression was pretty bad but it definitely looks fantastic, especially the lighting and foliage. I really love how dense foliage is in current gen games. Aside from that, I noticed a few instances of pop in but they were pretty minor. The next thing we need now is close ups.
 
Ah, thinking back to Morrowind with its fog, and then Oblivion with its distant land tech. I had to turn down the grass distance to like, 10 metres to get a decent frame rate on my PC at the time.

What a great time to be gamer on any platform.
 
Then they are all wrong. That is from the Uk video posted in the OP.

Yeah and it could still be old footage, like how the one with Geralt bombing harpies is also old footage. But I guess until someone provides the vid from which it was taken I'll believe you :)

"This is running on XBOX ONE ... in GLORIOUS 1366x768, framerate locked at 30FPS!!!" <MS backpatting intensifies>
 
It's pretty amazing that they got a game this huge and with so much going on to run so good at 1080p on PS4. It's just beautiful, even in a Youtube video.
 
Looks good. Popin is more noticeable

But why do trees and other plants have very noticeable 2d element to them

the LOD distance is a lot lower than the pc version and the older xbox one footage. frame rate isn't so hot either but its hard to tell if its youtube or the game. itll be interesting to see how the final xbox build holds up.

This is taken from a video that very explicitly says its PS4 gameplay footage. Geralt isnt bombing a harpy in either of these videos.

Like I said unless someone provides the old vid where it's supposed to be from I believe you that it's PS4 footage.

Lol, please stop. It's not PC footage. The video posted in the OP is 5 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay on PS4. There are no cuts to that Harpy footage in the video in the OP. Are you sure you even watched it? That video is where the gif is from, with Geralt riding the horse...the one you quoted, as being PC footage, is in the OP.

Lol, everyone is talking past eacher other.

This is the PC footage (with dualshock 4 buttons), where some people think it would be PS4, which is not. It's not even part of the two PS4 videos which were posted today.
 
Looked great but the framerate looked kinda fluctuating even while on horseback, though it could very well be the youtube thing...

Gamersyde video would be great.
 
Good one lol. It will make the wait for HoW so much less bearable.
Edit: think there is no chance of having the polish dub on the US Psn version.

Ended up pre-ordering, although through steam for the PC version.

PS4 version is looking really good.
