Witcher 3

Was just reading something about the rather substantial graphical downgrade on this on all platforms. They mentioned that on PC the Witcher 2 is better looking.

I hope it's not true but seeing as the revenue consoles make it could be likely.
 
Sort of a different art direction to witcher 2 i think, they seem to have gone for a more vibrant look, for better or worse :(

I did fire up the witcher 2 the other day and must say its showing its age. It looks great as seen above but the animations and character faces feel real stiff and flat. This new one has more character to it imo

I agree its been downgraded but its a darn sight better looking than other multiplatform games of late.
 
Looks nice! albeit bad quality but can tell it will be fine on console

think the review embargo is tuesday, confident if so :D. some points im concerned about is combat and the detective style 'witcher sense' shown in some trailers. it looks a bit overused but we will see. a review wouldnt stop me buying it though as im into the series but i enjoy reading peoples thoughts all the same

The downgrade in graphics is understandable I think, since TW2 had smaller areas. This is more like Skyrim I think, with huge open areas (from what I've seen a while ago, been avoiding any new videos for risk of spoiling it).

How can you say the downgrade in graphics is acceptable? If it was any other dev they would be getting slated from all angles. Remember Watch Dogs which was still a great looking game tbh. The game looks nice from the videos i've seen but the downgrade from what was originally shown a year ago is shocking in my opinion.
 
Where's everyone ordered from? I know getting the game earlier isn't guaranteed but I know some online places have sent start of week release games before the weekend so ideally would like to order through anyone like that and if it comes early then that's a bonus.

I hear what your saying, not sure tbh. It would have never looked like that, especially on console, but everyone does it :(. Either way visuals weren't the only let down with watchdogs

Yeah I agree, Watchdogs was crap. It got most of its hate from the graphics downgrade though. Just hope the gameplay and story is better than Witcher 2.
 
I'm going to grab mine from Tesco on release day, as I have done for a while now. No waiting for the postie, and no worries it then won't arrive on the day... price always seems competitive too.

I'm a bit disappointed the game has not maintained the fidelity of the earlier shots and vids. Vivid colouring aside the lighting looks rather flat and stark, and I'm not seeing much in the landscape that makes me go wow either... I'm sure there will be some stunning areas, but they seem to be showing the same sort of environment all the time recently, and I'm bored of it already. I haven’t seen any vistas recently that make me excited to head-off and explore. Skyrim with mods and enb looks better in many ways to me.

I hope the gameplay lives up to its promise.

I'm not sure, I only got it off the US store because it was around £35, not for an earlier release or anything.

Ah. Yeah just looked on Xbox store it's about the same. If doesn't seem like any hard copies shipping early I'll prob go for that.
