Here is the game with Ultra settings (and no, the game won't look like the above GIFs and images even without the Youtube compression): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_eRUq1PQPE

Nice literal copy/paste from GAF.

Of course the game was downgraded. Games never look like the original reveals.
And the comparison to TW2 isn't valid. TW2 is a significantly more linear section by section RPG. TW3 is a huge open world.

I think at this point, don't criticise a game till it comes out, in this day and age there's no real point expecting to get what you see at an E3, Gamecon, convention ect ect ect. Bunch of lies, or hell, bunch of rubbish trying to make the games a standard graphical height all across the board.

If the game stayed to its roots on PC, we'd probably get what we were first given. I'm not a hur dur PC fanboy, it's clearly obvious. Unless they give special treatment to the PC, still so far disappointing.

Doubtful. You know, because they had to develop the rest of the game outside of that sectioned off showcase.

It still looks very good. I don't see the big deal.

Well yeah and no, but you really think if they developed it just for PC, we'd get something which looks a substantial amount better then what theyre showing us now? They also had a lot of things to showcase back then.....

I really think Devs should just hold off till theyre confident what they show us is what we get.

The game still looks really good anyway. Even on consoles it holds up really well.

As long as it doesn't look like utter shit, it's not that big of a deal.

Trailers always make a game look better in terms of graphics and shit because they render them on absolute monsters of machines rather than on a regular PC/console setup.

I'm not saying it wouldn't look better than what it already does. I'm saying that it would never have looked like that smoke and mirrors showcase reveal.
The resources put into small showcases aren't viable for the full game, you know, because they need to actually be able to create a full game.

Which is just annoying, why showcase something that will never see the light of day, hell I might still buy the game eventually, but I just wish the gaming community was still less filled with lies.

Someday, I will cross that mountain.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

Witcher is a boring game anyhow. Shitty combat, long, drawn out story, and too much talking. The only good thing about it is the sex scenes, but that's just to attract the 14 year olds who just hit puberty and think the game is amazing.

Skyrim is objectively better
objectively better at being shit

You forgot to insert "Witcher" before "objectively

I don't need notes on the pictures, telling me what to think.

The game looks great right now and that's what's important.

One thing that does bother me is the fire and particle effects.  My modded Skyrim looks better.

The textures don't bother me too much, since I wouldn't be able to get them that high on my 770 anyway.

It's still going to be downgraded to an extent. Your more powerful PC's would have graphics like that but the problem are your average PC which would be what, medium ones? Even if it wasn't for consoles PC's would be getting hold back to an extent by other PC's. Not everybody as some high tier gaming PC so you're going to be making games that are going to be able to run and look decently on your average ones.

It still looks great, and i'm sure the downgrade was only to facilitate that dynamic beard growth.
