The Witcher 3 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

Even if you wanted to argue that its an important job (it isn't), they hired an absolute moron and overall pathetic of waste of space to do it. They would have been better off just shutting down their forums.

Hyperbole maybe, but this guy is a fucking loser.

I don't think there's much wasted space when Chris Priestly is in the room

*Goddammit, why can't I just pass over this low hanging fruit?*

I love how the GAF is freaking out over subpar textures and polycount when the art style looks pretty damn fine.

Plus if textures are your biggest concern why the hell would you get a console version, come on.

Because PC ultra textures will require 8gb of vram

Subpar textures? Le fuck?

Bro don't you know that today if you don't need 4 titans with total of 24 gb vram you are running subpar textures

 

[Sodafish]

What about the cart wheel textures tho?

Those new screens don't look as detailed as previous screens.

It would still be 6GB effectively since it copies the textures over all four of the GPU. Also if CD Projekt Red is serious about trying to establish a significant modding community, there will inevitably be some insane texture mods.

Have there been any word at all about the system requirements? I kinda hope that if you can run TW2 decently, then you would be able to run this decently with a lot of bells and whistles turned off but I guess that's not how game optimization works.

it's kind of weird that neogaffers are complaining about shitty textures while codexers are claiming everything is fine and you should stop nitpicking

Your usual bullshottery. Some people keep getting surprised by it for some reason.

I remember when I was trolling Bioware forums when DA2 got released, one of my favorite things were comparing graphics of DA2 and Witcher 2. I was actually quite surprised how many people thought that DA2 had superior visuals, and they felt like it was stone cold fact not worthy of discussion.

Makabb, your screens definitely aren't "in game". That screen with Geralt his drawn sword against a wolf looks much more realistic... in terms of what we'll get.

I do not mind it. But you can hardly argue that the visual gap is not so impressive, relative to Witcher 2.

I recall some Bioware person agreeing that Witcher 2 looked better, but saying it's because Witcher 2 is a single-character game and doesn't have to deal with the memory footprint of a 4-character party, which is true enough.

Conveniently ignoring all talk of art style of course.

The camera is further away and in every game there are less details for the sake of performance when you move the camera away. On close up it will probably look like on those screenshots.

PC master race will fix it.

Whenever I see the word NeoGaff.. I think Insane SJW Community.. Not sure why I should trust their mods to Veto anything that didn't align with their world views..

I can see the most flimsy of evidence making this guy a credible source..

 

[a Goat]

Neogaf is decent when it comes to leaks as long as they're heavily sony-related.

Outside of it, not too much. Sometimes they hit, usually they miss.
