No hairworks so no ultra.

I thought hair works is not part of the preset? Regardless, I see no reason why they'll show ultra now if they haven't shown it so far. The Nvidia trailer is probably when we'd see it

This game shits on a lot of favorites around here *ahem* Bloodborne... [...] Haven't played Bloodborne, but its combat system is not as robust as TW 2/3 or DD. It's the only thing that prevents BB from being a game I play and worship.

uh, ok

 

[Darryl M R]

Oh man, this game looks so good! Now if only I could decide between PS4 and PC. Is there any confirmed PS4 footage out there?

Man I'm hoping to see some PS4 footage, I know this video has to be ultra on PC or something but I would be pleasantly surprised if it wasn't.

 

[rashbeep]

Dont get me wrong, its a great looking game and the best looking game so far IMO. but I am expecting this level of graphics on the PS4. The PC ultra will be crazy looking.

PC Ultra will likely look like this, with better AO and the Hairworks stuff implemented.

 

[RDreamer]

Man this game looks insane.

Currently playing through Witcher 2 (just beat the first one a few weeks ago), and trying to get through as much of the books as I can. I'm going to be neck deep in Witcher lore!

 

[Sanke__]

I dont think there is any reason to be worried about the console ports

They pulled some voodoo magic on the witcher 2 for 360
Still cant believe they ported it as good as they did

This game shits on a lot of favorites around here *ahem* Bloodborne, Skyrim. The only RPG that can take it's mantle is Dragon's Dogma 2. It's all about control for me. Haven't played Bloodborne, but its combat system is not as robust as TW 2/3 or DD. It's the only thing that prevents BB from being a game I play and worship.

weird post man.

games are way different.

I can't wait to screw on a unicorn.

 

[viveks86]

Yeah, in Witcher 2 you could deflect the arrows right back at the attacker as well if you got the skill from skill tree

Nice. Hope it works well in this game. I keep hearing the combat was underwhelming in the older ones.

 

[Alienous]

This game makes Project Cars look like Mario Party 8.

 

[yoplay]

uh, ok

Don't get offended homie. I've seen footage of BB and it is still pretty slow and methodical. It's a distinct style that is by no means bad, just not as fun as what is achieved on TW and DD.

Great post 😏

no shadows and lightning turned down..
bummer.

No shadows, are you blind? Also, what exactly does "lighting turned down mean"?

This fucking trailer. Holy shit.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. On the off chance you're actually serious: how can you know The Witcher 3's combat system is more robust without having played it? And how can you say The Witcher 2's combat system is better than Bloodborne? That's a really strange... comparison. And you haven't played Bloodborne?

Am I being rused here?

Such a markety ad. I don't like it.

Would have been cooler if they had Trish narrate while in character.

licking my lips in anticipation

 

[Kezen]

Huh, i thought this was it. Is it supposed to be Geralt's hair only or animals and NPCs as well?

Geralt's hair and fur on various assets (monsters, cloathes). No idea about NPCs.
It's very clearly not in the video, it looks much, much better with it on.
Edit :

In Witcher 3, HairWorks adds realistic hair to Geralt and other characters, and adds coats of thick, dynamic fur to the many interesting monsters that inhabit the Witcher’s world.

Have you played Witcher 3 then? Strange that you have such strong opinions of both games when you have played neither.

 

[deeptech]

It seems so huge with so much shit to do. Hopefully it's all unique and good quality, not like Dragon Age 3 or Unity

Oh,i thought it's only his hair since it looked kinda nice. That's great

I have heard that they would not show the Ultra until game was released? they wanted it as a surprise for PC owners

 

[yoplay]

Why are they different? You know they will clash for best RPG at the end of the year =D
They definitely play different. TW is more accessible than BB though. I am not built for BB...I think. I just don't want to get halfway through that game and then drop it because I am stuck. Can't "git gud" at this age.

 

[Dictator93]

 

[aeroslash]

I can't wait for it! I started the witcher2 again a few days ago to be fresh on the history.

I even upgraded my cpu and waiting to decide on a new gpu for this and project cars.. Any advice? My budget will be preferabily something on the line of a 970, but think i could go as far as a 980..

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

This looks so cool.

How do you know....you haven't even played BB....

 

[WetTreeLeaf]

If your PC isnt considerably weaker than your PS4 I would go with PC, the mods alone will make up for it.

TW3 combat system looks like an upgrade to TW2s. I played TW2, I don't need to second guess what is coming for 3, just as many didn't need to second guess BB based off the engine in the Souls series.

 

[Raven77]

Okay so this is definitely NOT Ultra right? Didn't they say they were holding off on showing that?

 

[ironcreed]

 

[Atraveller]

lmao

 

[Dictator93]

no bokeh and no hairworks, so some things are definitely off.

 

[Stratosphere]

 

[Nordicus]

Well, consider that Souls games and Dragon's Dogma are in the same genre.

 

[partyboy]

Looks great. Couldn't care less if the texture filtering or whatever the fuck looks diminished next to e3 footage.

Charles Dance @ 3:02?

 

[Krauser Kat]

why did you bring up BB into this thread. We already have enough problems keeping these games separate in the rest of the forum.

 

[Squishy3]

Charles Dance @ 3:02?

Yeah, he's been confirmed for awhile.

 

[yoplay]

How do you know....you haven't even played BB....

It's just my opinion mann. I've seen enough of BB to know that it's combat would feel lethargic to what I've played on TW2. Forget my inferior opinion since I haven't played BB and base my opinion on in-depth observation. How about those who have played BB and TW2. Any thoughts on the combat? It is you who I (we) want to hear from. People seem afraid to speak up on these two titles. They don't want to pit them against each other.

 

[Space Cowboy]

Charles Dance @ 3:02?

Yup. He plays the Emperor of Nilfgaard.

 

[Zoso]

Wow, that was incredible! Can't believe this is their first foray in open world game design, they really went all out.

 

[bbd23]

Charles Dance @ 3:02?

yup!

 

[Staf]

This looks awesome, will be my first Witcher game i play.

 

[Devilinthiscity]

Wow, this looks amazing! The vampire encounter bit made me laugh.

 

[Caja 117]

Yeah, he's been confirmed for awhile.

yup, I knew he was in it, wasnt sure it that was him!
