The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

I watched the presentation and I think I heard them say it was integrating the HD reworked texture mod which is probably why some of you are not seeing a significant difference.

What did everyone prefer to play this on KB+M or Controller? Just with the combat being a bit hack and slash, but the signs and menu system maybe being better suited towards M+KB.

The game was designed around a controller.

Clouds look better, other than that it's really hard to see.

During the walking scene, I did notice that the rocks and branches didn't really have shadows and looks a little out of place.

I'm expecting Digital Foundry to post a vid today or tomorrow to break it down, which would be interesting.

Still underwhelmed, was hoping for more or a dramatic change, but kind of expected when using the same engine.

Digital Foundry will probably wait for the final version, there are some changes in lighting and better shadows as well as somewhat better textures.

That wasn’t my question. I asked what people preferred.

Technics turntables weren’t originally designed for dj’s.

End of the day it's a free upgrade that's a plus. If it was paid I'd be a bit disapointed with it, but then I'd just go down the mod route if it bothered me that much. Beats paying £15 like some did with Skyrim Anniversary Edition.

We're on a PC enthusiat forum it's hardly surprising it didn't meet expectations here.

I'm usually a keyboard + mouse person through and through, but preferred an XBox controller for TW3. Just feels better for some reason.

Yup i am also mainly a KM user, but i also think W3 is great with a Xbox controller.

 

[Subzero85]

mouse and keyboard for me personally, always prefer it this way in most games

 

[Trick]

Much prefer controller with W3

I am also a K+M player with most games but just find the button mashing, dodging etc just feels better on controller. This and Elden Ring are the only games I preferred using a controller. Looking forward to another play through soon. One of my favourite games.

Controller here.

And the nextgen update looks significantly better than the original game. But people will need to see it side by side to notice, as usual.

Looking forward to playing this again at Christmas as I haven't played it since it came out and I never touched the DLC either. Can't remember much of the story either which will be a bonus. Found another side by side video.

I want the update to include things I can do after the conclusion to blood and wine. I've got my lovely house, my lodger and I want to be able to interact more! Go off on missions together etc.

Basically more dlc missions!

Yeah that ain't happening

I play this on console so looking forward to finally being able to play it at 60 fps.

Looks good from what I've seen, but I'm a little disappointed that they've changed the colours. I remember it having really saturated, vibrant colours but they appear to have turned these down.

Less than a week to go now, I’m sure this should be on the first page…

I'm not holding my breath for it given the leaks. Mods look better

Mods don't have ray tracing though.
