It looks pretty good, I must say.

 

[CyberPunked]

Is that confirmed?

I'm curious how he came to the conclusion that this has been cut. Considering he's comparing PC and PS4 footage.

 

[EatChildren]

Isn't this from the PC version?

It's from the 35 minute gameplay demo released around E3 last year.

 

[Kuraudo]

Gorgeous. I can't buy it day one, as it comes out two weeks before my finals, but will grab it as soon as they're over. Will be a great reward for a pretty exhausting year

 

[zufuel]

I think the water effect is confirmed gone - but I think the detail/fidelity on the whole will be PC ultra settings.



Is this random Spanish word caption thing a meme?

If so,

Spoiler

I rike

no ,written by me XD

 

[robertsan21]

Read that and all I could think was "You want PC?"

Yes, but we need it on a 499 usd home console due to the damn high price of a PC.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Well, the console version still looks beautiful
Anyone comparing it with the PC version should just go and buy the PC version...

 

[Leatherface]

well okay then. I'm impressed!

 

[rashbeep]

Ah so now we've gone to saying the game looks downgraded from the E3 footage? Without any basis at all?

Anyways game looks great on PS4.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

I thought Microsoft had some sort of marketing deal for game in place.
Why aren't they getting consoles footage first?

 

[Business]

I think they did a great job on that PS4 version.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Look great. I'm just bummed out that I can't play on release because it will be finals week for me. Ugh.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Maybe that wasn't part of the deal.

 

[CyberPunked]

It's from the 35 minute gameplay demo released around E3 last year.

So the PC version...

 

[Kosma]

I thought Microsoft had some sort of marketing deal for game in place.

We don't know the details of the deal really.

 

[misho8723]

No. It is not confirmed.

Just speculation, like most discussion about this game.

Well, not the same situation, but in one of those new PS4 vidoes there were explosions in the water or close to her (and Aard was also used on her), and no reaction from the water.. and the water is looking to have the same characteristics, features in all versions.. so, yeah, it's a speculation but still

 

[Primethius]

Looks great. Youtube compression stays awful though.

I suspect it requires proper physX support. I seem to recall that it has a suite of fluid simulation algorithms?

 

[Boke1879]

This game will be IN my ps4 so hard

 

[Collateral22]

Looks good, but I am still on the fence. I've fallen out of sorts with fantasy RPGs like Dragon Age ect, even Shadows of Mordor I failed to finish because it was simply too open. Is this for me? What makes it different from a typical RPG?

 

[erawsd]

I don't think this is the typical marketing deal where they pretend competing platforms don't exist. Even the commercial doesn't have the usual "X" logo at the end.

Well, this a way more open than either of those, so probably not.

 

[Artex]

I'm not ready to stop playing Bloodborne yet. Sorry Witcher!

 

[Z3M0G]

Looks great!

Ignore the inevitable PC-PS4 side-by-side comparisons that will come in the future and you will be perfectly happy with this version.

Edit: Love the diablo style inventory system... did Part 2 have that?

 

[Filthy Casual]

 

[ScepticMatt]

Edit: Love the diablo style inventory system... did Part 2 have that?

Inventory Tetris?

The first one did, the second did not. Space and loot was much more limited in the first one though.

 

[Lifejumper]

Is the game like DA:I with quests? With that I mean entering a new area and ten thousand quests pop up on your map. Or will you have to search for the quests by yourself?

 

[boskee]

Even the commercial doesn't have the usual "X" logo at the end.

I heard that the one shown on US TV does.

 

[Night Hunter]

Seriously, Youtube is probably the worst platform to show off games nowadays. Plus the compression here is extra horrible.

Hopefully they put up a downoad link to a less compressed version soon. I don't even want to see the game like this.

 

[erawsd]

I heard that the one shown on US TV does.

Oh does it? nvm then.

 

[zufuel]

if annoying both gif ....., I'm sorry

let me know and I'll stop creating

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

It doesn't seem to be as airtight as their other deals such as Call of Duty, or Sony's Destiny one.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

Given they're quoting 1080p60fps on a 980 on 'Ultra', it doesn't sound like they've pushed their 'Ultra' settings far enough

Why? 1080p is a pretty low resolution by modern PC gaming standards. It's the new 1024x768.

Well we can't really tell until the game is out, but in most Open World games, the world and maybe side activity (mini games and stuff) is the main focus and then comes the story, quests.
In Witcher 3 however, the world is built around the story and quests, so the latter is the main focus and priority, it is basically the reverse process of other Open World games.

Dragon Age is story driven as well, but I heard the sidequests are really boring and uninteresting (you have to do some quests) unlike Witcher 3 which has so far really good feedback.

If you just want to do the main quest you can do that.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

It seems like the framerate is very solid and pop-in is very well handled. Current-gen starts in two weeks for me.

 

[DryvBy]

Yes, but we need it on a 499 usd home console due to the damn high price of a PC.

Which console is $499 again?

 

[erawsd]

Is the game like DA:I with quests? With that I mean entering a new area and ten thousand quests pop up on your map. Or will you have to search for the quests by yourself?

Not necessarily. When you find a notice board in town or overhear comments from NPCs it'll put a "?" on your map. If you dont want that you are free to filter them out.

 

[mcfrank]

What's with the barrel?

 

[Summer Haze]

What a beautiful game.

 

[zufuel]

What's with the barrel?

Nothing. Simply, it is beautiful

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Looks fantastic! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

Liking the look of the combat.
Actually, scratch that. Liking the look of the whole game. So good!

 

[StrongBlackVine]

What a great time to be a gamer. Bloodborne and now this. Next gen is finally here.

 

[Sai]

Looks wonderful!

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

man, PSN pre-order redeemed. looking good

 

[Typhares]

Pre-order maintained!

 

[Man]

Dragon Age: Inquisition, Bloodborne and Witcher 3 releasing within six months of each other...

Nostalgia be damned. This might be the best large western-rpg release period ever.

 

[Kinthalis]

What's with the barrel?

Pop-in.

I suspect it's going to be more noticeable when actually playing the game than in these videos, specially when outside of forests and stuff.

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

What's with the barrel?

Barrel, you say?

Barrel begone!

I think what you were referring to is just pop-in, though (tactically avoided with a turn of the camera, no less)

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Pop-in.

I suspect it's going to be more noticeable when actually playing the game than in these videos, specially when outside of forests and stuff.

I'm genuinely surprised that you're not shitting on the footage. The old System Wars Kinthalis would've been doing nothing but that.

 

[Sethh]

Awesome. That's what I wanted to see.
