Well old model;



is quite a lot more impressive graphically than new one;



It bugs me too that they used scene from E3 2014 era build and not latest one that we are going to get. Or did they swap it again behind scenes?

EatChildren had a post comparing the original scene with how the scene looks now. It's definitely a downgrade, but it's not an exact comparison since they changed the design, the location, as well as a lot of other factors.

(top is new, bottom two are old)

Downgrades don't bother me. I get it. They want to make this game work and they overshot what they could do, or things changed, etc. Who knows, I can't say. Game still looks outrageously lovely. That said, they need to stop showing older stuff in newer trailers.

I like new design, I think it looks cool and badass. Old was complicated and very showy design, badass in its way. I also wish they would use new design and redone scene, not that E3 2014 era version that doesn't exist anymore.

 

[erawsd]

Yeah, I prefer the new King model. However, that change in the fire gives me heart ache.

 

[Skilotonn]

This game just looks so damn amazing.

That red beast, oh wow.

I hope this game gets the success it deserves, I really do.

I agree, I think the new king looks fine, and quite frankly, I think his textures hold up just as well as the old model, I just think what I posted is a poorer shot (and the original trailer had a sharpening filter).

That said, some stuff like the environment and the fire are a little different. Not a deal breaker, but it IS different enough that showing the old version of the trailer is odd to me.

 

[pakkit]

It did bother me that they cut in old footage of scenes no longer in the game.

But who really knows how promo materials are handled for CD Projekt... They've ballooned so much over the past decade that it's amazing they're organized at all.

 

[EatChildren]

Is this the N64 build???

Can't wait to play. Expecting a lot of recolouring/reskins for monster variation, especially on the bigger stuff, but whatever.

Love that there are still people with this attitude. Some just can't understand the process of making a game and a game that is this big. I sense that these days it's trendy to just say something about a downgrade, ugh.

Did they wrote in the first/any of the trailers - actual graphic representation on release date? - or something like that? No, and they can't either because any game development is a living project like anything else from other industry areas. They are constantly evolving the game and so things are changing.

Indeed.


I would love to see them add a few more monsters to just randomly populate the world, with interesting combat tequniques, as DLC.

And if not, hopefully the expansion(s) will do this.

I Wounder if there are Dragons in the game.

I think at least one particular dragon is almost a given.

 

[cripterion]

I still doubt we will get the bottom shot ingame. If it looks like that on Ultra well damn. I mean it's such a beautiful shot.

These clips mark the first time Witcher 3 has succeeded in capturing my attention.

You know that image of the new model is a model used for promotional images, and far, far more detailed than any in-game asset.

 

[Blade30]

I do like the new design, but I hope they make a dlc of his old design (bottom). It looks more menacing and otherworldly.

Blade30 just after you posted picture that shows new model in-game; http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=162880270&postcount=65 Looks quite detailed and high quality, at least to me.

Did you post that to Reddit day or so ago?

Yeah. It has been on "will probably buy at some point" list, but these gifs... Releases in two weeks was it?

Rajang, is that you?

This game looks so good, I'm really wanting to play it. My problem is that I have Autism and with that I have real anxiety issues that can be triggered by all sorts of things, sometimes loud, sudden noises, sometimes when there's no noise at all, but one of the things that sets my anxiety off in a big way is spiders, even fake ones in video games. I'm sure it sounds silly to a lot of people, but for me I am trying not to get excited for the game until I've seen just how the spiders are. I know they're in the game, but it all depends how they look and act, there are some games where the spiders in the game haven't set me off, but that's usually because they don't look like realistic spiders. I'm just hoping that this game is like that, because I really want a good rpg to play

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

Wonder how long before someone (hi icecold!) starts shouting downgrade.

Looks so damn good.

lol at that shout out.

This game aesthetic and atmosphere are so good that I don't even care about anything else.

Now, would anyone recommend me if I should smoke, or inject this game into my blood?

No I just took it from the link posted in this very thread. I don't post on Reddit.

Have you seen this shit?

Some really bullshit comparisons...

 

[Exentryk]

Absolutely gorgeous.

I don't think it'll be spider heavy game.
Or maybe it could be modded after modding tools are released, last resort solution I guess.

 

[Tovarisc]

Simple and effective.

Problem is next ~2 weeks, wait is long and slow. TW2 took less time to playthrough then I expected so even that bandage is out of question now

Yeah. The game still looks great and the gameplay is what really has me hyped, but as someone that recently upgraded my PC, I was really hoping the final product would look similar to the early reveals.

I think it is safe to say that at this point that it is not going to happen if everything sans hairworks has been revealed in these sneak peeks.

 

[Micerider]

Zero concerns about it looking and running nicely on consoles after seeing this. Of course PC on Ultra will still shit on this but it makes me not regret waiting 2016 for upgrading my rig (well to build a new one from the ground up actually).

I expext similar thing from Batmam: good enough on consoles not to feel that something is amiss when playing the game

Edit: woops, was meant for the ps4 gamrplay thread

 

[Hans.Gruber]

So hyped!!!!!!

That bottom shot doesn't even look remotely like an in-game shot though. I can't remember what trailer it's from, but was that even supposed to be a "here's what the game will look like" shot in the first place?

It was the first shot from first debut trailer and the trailer did not have ingame disclaimer.
However, it was in engine shot as demonstrated at some technical presentation.

I may be mistaken but it was part of a nvidia graphics features video. Highlighting the technical aspects of the game.

 

[DOWN]

Yall are "monsters" yourselves for rejecting that gorgeous 21:9 ratio when the Order tried it. Makes W3's look really pop.

Obvious downgrade is obvious:

I have Pillars of Eternity, gta5, wolfenstein old blood to tie me over.
